## Description

BlueSkies Highlighted Products for WooCommerce lets store owners choose default 
highlighted products and optionally override them per post. Output is rendered via
the `[bshp_highlighted_products]` shortcode, so it can be placed in widget areas
or anywhere else where shortcodes are processed.

Features:

 * Display highlighted products card links wherever you want.
 * Increase your chances of converting SEO traffic to sales.
 * Choose default WooCommerce products on the settings screen.
 * Per-post overrides of global settings via the BlueSkies Highlighted Products 
   metabox on public post types.
 * Shortcode supports hardcoded IDs: `[bshp_highlighted_products ids="12,34,56"]`.
 * Skips hidden or invalid products automatically.

## FAQ

### Does this collect visitor or customer emails?

No. The plugin does not collect, store, or transmit data from your store visitors
or customers.

### What data is sent, and when?

Only if a site administrator explicitly opts in (by checking the consent box and
submitting their email) may the plugin send that administrator’s email address, 
site URL, and plugin version to BlueSkies Digital via a secure HTTPS request. Opt-
in may be offered on a first-visit welcome screen, on the plugin settings page (
optional “Stay in the loop” step), or in an occasional reminder after saving settings
if you have not opted in before. Nothing is sent without the plugin user’s explicit
consent. The plugin does not send any emails from your WordPress site.

### Can I use the plugin without opting in?

Yes. You can skip email collection and use all plugin features regardless, including
product selection, the shortcode, and per-post overrides.

### What if a product becomes private?

Products that are not visible in your WooCommerce catalog are skipped automatically
when the shortcode renders.
