### Upgrade Notices

#### 1.1.2

Bug fix.

#### 1.1.1

Onboarding redesign for first-time users — welcome card with setup steps, on-page
FAQ, and 24/7 support contact. No action required on update.

#### 1.1.0

Adds a First Sync button so you can push existing users, customers, and newsletter
subscribers to MarketLyft in one click. Background processing now works out of the
box without Action Scheduler.

#### 1.0.3

Adds OAuth2 support for WooCommerce.

#### 1.0.0

Initial release.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `marketlyft-sync` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install directly
    from the WordPress plugin directory.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to Settings  MarketLyft Sync.
 4. Enter your MarketLyft instance URL.
 5. Choose an authentication method (Basic Auth or OAuth2) and enter your API credentials.
 6. Enable the sync modules you need (Users, WooCommerce, Forms, Newsletter).
 7. Click “Test Connection” to verify the connection.

#### OAuth2 Setup

 1. In your MarketLyft/Mautic instance, go to Settings  API Credentials and create 
    a new OAuth2 client.
 2. Set the Redirect URI to the value shown on the plugin settings page.
 3. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret into the plugin settings.
 4. Click “Authorize” and follow the prompts.

#### Credential Encryption (Recommended)

To encrypt stored API credentials, add the following to your `wp-config.php`:

    ```
    define( 'MLWPS_ENCRYPTION_KEY', 'your-64-char-hex-string' );
    ```

Generate a key with: `php -r "echo bin2hex(random_bytes(32));"`

#### Background Processing

The plugin processes sync jobs in the background using WordPress’s built-in WP Cron.
No extra plugin is required. If Action Scheduler is already installed on your site(
for example via WooCommerce), the plugin uses it automatically for better performance
on large migrations and for the Tools  Scheduled Actions admin UI.

## FAQ

### What is MarketLyft?

MarketLyft is an all-in-one marketing automation platform for small and growing 
businesses. It includes email campaigns, contact segmentation, automation workflows,
lead scoring, and reporting — with a free tier up to 300 contacts. Sign up at [marketlyft.app](https://marketlyft.app/?utm_source=wp-plugin-readme&utm_medium=marketplace&utm_campaign=faq-cta).

### Does this plugin work without WooCommerce?

Yes. WooCommerce is optional. The core Users module works with any WordPress installation.
WooCommerce, Forms, and Newsletter modules can be enabled or disabled independently.

### Does this plugin import data from MarketLyft into WordPress?

No. Synchronization is strictly one-way: WordPress  MarketLyft. No data is ever 
pulled from MarketLyft into your WordPress database.

### What happens if the MarketLyft API is unreachable?

API calls are queued via Action Scheduler and retried up to 5 times with exponential
backoff (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 minutes). Client errors (4xx) are not retried and are logged
immediately.

### Is Action Scheduler required?

No. The plugin uses WordPress’s built-in WP Cron by default — no extra plugin is
needed. If Action Scheduler is already installed (e.g. via WooCommerce), the plugin
picks it up automatically, which scales better for very large migrations (10k+ contacts)
and provides a detailed admin UI at Tools  Scheduled Actions.

### How are my API credentials stored?

If you define `MLWPS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` in `wp-config.php`, credentials are encrypted
with XSalsa20-Poly1305 (libsodium) before being stored in the database. Without 
the key, credentials are stored in plain text.

### Which WordPress hooks does this plugin use?

The plugin listens to 17 WordPress/WooCommerce/form/newsletter hooks. See the plugin
documentation for the complete list.

## Changelog

#### 1.1.2

 * Bug fix.

#### 1.1.1

 * Onboarding redesign — first-time visitors to the settings page now see a welcome
   card with three setup steps (create a free MarketLyft account, get API keys, 
   paste & authorize) instead of an empty technical form. Helps users who installed
   the plugin from the WordPress.org search without prior knowledge of MarketLyft.
 * 24/7 support box prominently displayed on the settings page with the `hello@marketlyft.
   app` contact — round-the-clock setup help available on every plan, including 
   the free tier.
 * On-page FAQ — five common questions answered without leaving WordPress (what 
   MarketLyft is, whether a paid account is needed, how to get OAuth credentials,
   what happens to existing users, who to contact for help).
 * Cleaner settings page for new installations — advanced sections (Tags & Logging,
   Field Mapping, Sync Status) are now collapsed until the OAuth2 connection is 
   authorized, reducing cognitive load on first visit.
 * Plugin renamed to “MarketLyft – Email Marketing & Automation” in the WordPress.
   org directory.
 * German translation updated with all new strings (132 strings total).

#### 1.1.0

 * First Sync — one-click bulk migration of existing WordPress users, WooCommerce
   customers, and newsletter subscribers (MailPoet / The Newsletter Plugin) to MarketLyft
   after OAuth2 authorization. Runs once, shows a live progress bar, and can be 
   reset from the settings page if needed.
 * No external dependency: background processing now uses WP Cron by default (built
   into WordPress core). Action Scheduler is still used automatically when present(
   e.g. on WooCommerce sites) — but it is no longer required.
 * Privacy: sync error logs no longer include contact field values — emails are 
   masked and other values are dropped. Prevents PII leakage on shared hosting and
   centralised log collectors.
 * Credential storage warnings: the settings page now accurately reflects whether`
   MLWPS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` is configured, showing a warning when credentials fall 
   back to plaintext or when a rotated key prevents decryption.

#### 1.0.3

 * WooCommerce OAuth2 integration

#### 1.0.1

 * OAuth2 authorization flow
 * Improvements to settings page UI and field mapping
 * WooCommerce HPOS and Block Checkout compatibility fixes
 * Various bug fixes and stability improvements

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release
 * WordPress user sync (registration, profile update, login, deletion, role change)
 * WooCommerce customer and order sync (HPOS + Block Checkout compatible)
 * Contact Form 7 and Gravity Forms integration
 * MailPoet 3 and Newsletter Plugin integration
 * Configurable field mapping UI
 * OAuth2 and Basic Auth support
 * Encrypted credential storage (libsodium)
 * Action Scheduler background processing with retry and exponential backoff
