3) The admin configures the plugin settings, specifying which boat categories or types they want to import from Boats/ YachtAPI and mapping the attributes as well.

4) The owner initiates the product sync process by clicking the "Sync" button within the plugin interface.

5) The plugin establishes a secure connection with Boats Inventory database using the provided credentials. The plugin sends API requests and gets product details from the Boats API. Our plugin fetches products from the data, including images, descriptions, pricing, and availability for the specified categories.

6) The plugin maps the retrieved API data to the corresponding fields within the WooCommerce store, ensuring proper integration.

7) The plugin automatically checks for updates in the Boats Inventory by scheduling automatic synchronization tasks as configured by the store admin. If new products are available or existing product information has changed, the plugin updates the WooCommerce store accordingly.
