## Description

Shoppers now ask AI what to buy. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini recommend
products directly — and they choose by reading your product data. If yours is thin
or missing the details they look for, you get left out.

OptAEO scans your whole catalog, scores every product against a 16-point AI-visibility
model, and fixes what’s holding each one back. This plugin connects your store and
puts the results live — clean structured data plus the discovery files AI assistants
read first.

 * **AI-written product descriptions** — turns thin or missing copy into rich descriptions
   built from your product’s title, brand and images.
 * **Finds what’s missing** — adds missing barcodes (GTINs), the SEO titles and 
   descriptions WooCommerce leaves blank, and AI-ready FAQs that show up in shopping-
   assistant answers.
 * **One clean, authoritative product for AI** — replaces the thin, clashing data
   WooCommerce, Yoast and Rank Math emit with a single trusted source.
 * **Stops silent Google Shopping errors** — flags the Google Merchant Center issues
   that quietly kill your Shopping ads.
 * **Gets your store found by AI** — publishes the live catalogue and access rules
   AI shopping assistants read first, right at your store root.
 * **A score you can act on** — rates every product for AI visibility and tracks
   it climbing across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini.

**Free to start at [optaeo.ai](https://optaeo.ai).** That’s where your catalog is
scanned, scored and fixed; this plugin is the delivery layer that puts the results
live on your store. Without a connected account it stays inactive — it shows nothing
and sends nothing.

### External services

This plugin connects to the **OptAEO API** (https://optaeo.ai), the service that
computes the structured data and discovery files it renders. It is required for 
every feature of this plugin — nothing is rendered without it.

What is sent, and when:

 * `GET https://optaeo.ai/api/plugin/product` — requested when a product page is
   viewed (cached for 5 minutes). Sends: your OptAEO site token (in a request header)
   and the WooCommerce product ID being viewed. Returns the schema.org JSON-LD, 
   meta title and meta description for that product.
 * `GET https://optaeo.ai/api/plugin/protocol` — requested when `/llms.txt`, `/llms-
   full.txt`, `/agents.md` or `/agents.txt` is fetched on your store (cached for
   5 minutes). Sends: your OptAEO site token (in a request header) and the file 
   type requested. Returns the discovery/policy file content.

No customer data, order data, visitor IPs, or analytics are ever sent to OptAEO 
by this plugin. The site token identifies your store to your own OptAEO account.
The plugin also exposes one inbound REST route (`optaeo/v1/flush`, token-authenticated)
that OptAEO calls after you apply a fix, so your storefront updates immediately 
instead of after the cache window.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin (WooCommerce must be active).
 2. Create or sign in to your account at [optaeo.ai](https://optaeo.ai) and connect
    your store.
 3. Copy the site token from your OptAEO dashboard  Settings.
 4. In WordPress admin, go to Settings  OptAEO, paste the token, and Save.
 5. That’s it — product pages now carry the authoritative schema, and the discovery
    files are live at your store root for any protocol you’ve enabled in OptAEO.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin work without an OptAEO account?

No. The plugin is the delivery layer for the OptAEO platform — it renders the structured
data and discovery files your account computes. Without a token it stays inactive
and contacts no external service.

### Will it conflict with Yoast SEO or Rank Math?

No — that conflict is exactly what it prevents. On product pages it suppresses the
Product/Offer schema those plugins (and WooCommerce core) emit, so there is exactly
one authoritative Product node instead of several conflicting ones. All other Yoast/
Rank Math output (titles elsewhere, sitemaps, breadcrumbs) is untouched.

### What are llms.txt and agents.md?

Discovery files AI assistants and crawlers read at a site’s root to understand what
a store sells and how they may use it — a curated product catalogue plus your crawl/
citation/training policy. The plugin serves them at your store root, kept current
automatically as your catalogue changes.

### What happens when I uninstall?

The stored token and every cached value are deleted. Nothing else is touched.

## Changelog

#### 0.5.1

 * Declare WooCommerce version support (WC requires at least 8.0, WC tested up to
   10.8) and HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatibility – the plugin never
   touches orders.

#### 0.5.0

 * Security hardening for WordPress.org review: site token now travels in a request
   header (never a URL); JSON-LD output can no longer be broken out of by data content;
   document title escaped; REST flush auth moved into the permission callback; protocol
   files served with nosniff.
 * Uninstall now also removes cached protocol files.
 * Declares the WooCommerce dependency (Requires Plugins).

#### 0.4.0

 * Serve the AI-agent discovery files at the store root: /llms.txt, /llms-full.txt,/
   agents.md, /agents.txt (token-authed, cached, absent when disabled in OptAEO).

#### 0.3.0

 * Cache-bust REST route (optaeo/v1/flush) so applied fixes appear on the storefront
   immediately.

   Math).
