Create WooCommerce external products from Etsy listings with CSV previews, Quick Add, and manual Etsy link checks.

== Description ==

N.C. External Products is a focused WooCommerce utility for stores that want product pages on their own WordPress site while keeping Etsy as the checkout destination.

The free plugin is Etsy-focused and does not include a local product-count cap. It creates WooCommerce external products from Etsy listing URLs, stores source metadata, previews CSV rows before import, helps prevent obvious duplicates, and runs manual link health checks against stored Etsy URLs.

= What it does =

* Quick Add one Etsy listing as a WooCommerce external product.
* Preview CSV imports before creating products.
* Create or update WooCommerce external products from ready rows.
* Store Etsy listing IDs, source URLs, and source image URLs.
* Check Etsy link health manually from the WordPress admin.
* Show source and link-health columns in the WooCommerce product list.

= What it does not do =

* It does not use the Etsy API.
* It does not sync Etsy orders, inventory, reviews, messages, or checkout.
* It does not claim affiliation with Etsy.
* It does not connect to a Neon.Computer license server.

N.C. External Products Suite is a separate premium product for supported non-Etsy destinations, automation, exports, image importing, click reporting, and multi-site licensing.

== Installation ==

1. Install and activate WooCommerce.
2. Upload and activate N.C. External Products.
3. Open WooCommerce > N.C. External Products.
4. Use Quick Add for a single Etsy listing, or upload a CSV from the CSV Import tab.
5. Review the preview before creating products.
6. Use Link Health to check saved Etsy URLs.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does it use the Etsy API? =

No. It works with Etsy listing URLs and CSV/product data supplied by the site administrator.

= Is this affiliated with Etsy? =

No. This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Etsy, Inc. Etsy is a trademark of Etsy, Inc.

= What does Suite add? =

N.C. External Products Suite is sold separately by Neon.Computer and adds supported non-Etsy destinations, automation, exports, image importing, click reporting, and multi-site licensing.

== Privacy ==

This plugin stores import and source metadata inside the WordPress database for products created by the site administrator. It stores Etsy source URLs, Etsy listing IDs when detected, source image URLs when supplied, and manual link health results.

== External Services ==

This plugin connects to Etsy listing URLs when an administrator manually runs a link health check. The request is made from the WordPress site to the Etsy URL stored on the product. The plugin uses a HEAD request first and may fall back to GET if the destination does not support HEAD. This is used only to report whether saved Etsy links appear reachable.
