Brand, model number, barcode, condition, what is included and whether it was tested, on every product. Filled by AI from the product's own words. Used by Factorize Schema, the Marketplace feeds and eBay.

== Description ==

Google and eBay match a product by its barcode, or by its brand and model number. A store that sells used and one-off goods often has neither on record, and sending the store's own SKU as the model number is wrong. Factorize Product Facts gives every product the right fields and fills them safely.

= What you get =

* **Fields on every product**: a box on the edit screen, Quick Edit, Bulk Edit (brand, condition) and a Facts column in the product list.
* **Fill with AI**: the AI reads each product's title, description and details and proposes brand, model number, condition and what is included, for many products at once. A model number is only proposed when it is written in the product's own text, and every answer is checked again by the plugin. You see the words each value came from, marked, tick what is right, apply, and can undo the whole run.
* **Factorize Schema** gets brand, model number, barcode and condition for the product data on each page.
* **Marketplace Hub feeds and eBay** get brand, model number, barcode and condition. A product with facts never has its SKU sent as the model number. Without a barcode or a model number the Google feed says "no identifier", which Google allows for used and one-off goods.
* **A check** on the Overview: how many products have a brand, model number and condition, and how many go to the feed without an ID.
* Costs shown in tokens. Your own Ollama is free.
* A card on the Factorize dashboard, Help tab and a setup guide.

= Where things live =

Factorize → Product Facts. Tabs: Overview, Fill with AI, Settings, Help. Product edit screen → "Product facts" box.

== External services ==

With Fill with AI set to "Factorize AI" the plugin sends product text (title, short description, description and attributes of the products you choose) to the Factorize AI service when you press "Read the products". Nothing is sent otherwise. With "My own Ollama server" the text goes to the server you name. With AI off nothing is sent.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `factorize-facts` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` and activate it. WooCommerce must be active.
2. Open a product and fill the Product facts box, or open Factorize → Product Facts → Fill with AI.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Will the AI guess a model number? =
No. It is told to copy a model number exactly as written in the product's text, and the plugin then checks that it really is written there. If it is not, nothing is proposed.

= Why not send the SKU as the model number? =
A SKU is your own number. Sent as a model number it is usually wrong, and a wrong model number is worse for Google than none.

= Can I undo a run? =
Yes. Open the run and press Undo this run. Anything you edited after Apply stays as you left it.

= What happens when I delete the plugin? =
Its settings and saved runs are removed. The facts on your products stay.
