N.C. External Products for WooCommerce - Quick Start v3.5.1

1. Install and activate WooCommerce.
2. Install and activate this plugin ZIP.
3. Go to WooCommerce > N.C. External Products.
4. Open Setup and finish the checklist.
5. Open CSV Import and upload your Etsy listing CSV.
6. Review preview stats, warnings, sample rows, and detected mapping.
7. Adjust column mapping if your CSV uses different column names.
8. Confirm import.
9. Use Link Health to check listing URLs.
10. Connect a license if you want Suite source support, automation, and reporting.
11. Use Automation to schedule recurring link checks and email summaries with Suite.

Important: This plugin creates WooCommerce External/Affiliate products. Checkout remains on Etsy.
Free version note: Free is the Etsy-focused workflow. Suite adds supported non-Etsy external URLs, automation, reporting, image handling, and multi-site licensing.

V2.3 Mapping Presets
--------------------
If your Etsy export or custom spreadsheet uses the same column layout repeatedly, preview one import, adjust the mapping, then save it as a preset. Future imports can apply that preset before preview/import.

Support tip: before opening a support request, export Diagnostics and Support Bundle from the Reports/Diagnostics screens and use documentation/support-request-template.txt.

Security note: v3.0 validates import and settings backup uploads more strictly. CSV/TXT/TSV imports are limited to 5 MB; JSON settings backups are limited to 1 MB.

v3.3 Background Automation
- If WooCommerce Action Scheduler is available, scheduled link checks use Action Scheduler.
- If Action Scheduler is not available, the plugin falls back to WP-Cron.
- The Diagnostics export shows which backend is active.

Release QA note: Before submitting or selling, run through LOCAL-TESTING-SCRIPT.txt and review KNOWN-LIMITATIONS.txt.
