Be found by people nearby: opening hours in your structured data, a Pick up today line, a free Google local inventory feed, a Visit us page and Business Profile post text.

== Description ==

Factorize Local is for a store that also has a shop to visit. You type your address, phone and opening hours once (or reuse Factorize Schema's), and they are used everywhere they help.

= What you get =

* **LocalBusiness data.** Your shop type, address, phone, opening hours (with several parts a day), map link, map position and price range, added to the data Factorize Schema prints. Schema stays the one place that prints structured data.
* **Pick up today.** A short line under the add to cart button for items in stock, with the hours. It does not move the page. Off on product cards unless you turn it on. A product can opt out.
* **Google local inventory feed.** A private feed address for Google Merchant Center (free local listings), checked against Google's list of fields and values before you use it, with the Merchant Center steps in plain words.
* **Visit us page.** Address, map link, phone, hours and pickup steps, made only when you press a button.
* **Business Profile posts.** Post text, link and picture for your newest in-stock items, with Copy buttons. Google's posts API needs approval, so nothing is posted for you.
* **A check** that your name, address and phone are written the same in your structured data, your footer and your Visit us page, plus checks on hours and the feed.

= Works with =

WooCommerce (needed), Factorize Schema (prints the LocalBusiness data), Factorize Pickup or WooCommerce local pickup (switches the pick up line on by itself), Factorize Marketplace (the feed uses its product ids).

== External services ==

None. This plugin makes no remote call. It reads two pages of your own site when you press the name, address and phone check. Google Merchant Center fetches the feed address you give it; nothing is sent to Google from your site.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `factorize-local` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` and activate it (WooCommerce must be active).
2. Open Factorize → Local → Details, check your address and phone, and type your opening hours.
3. Open the Overview and press Check name, address and phone.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does it post to Google for me? =

No. Google's Business Profile posts API needs approval. The Posts tab gives you the text, link and picture to paste.

= Do I need Factorize Schema? =

It is the one that prints the LocalBusiness data, so yes for that part. The pick up line, the feed, the Visit page and the post text work without it.

= Why does the pick up line say tomorrow? =

You are closed for the rest of today, so it names the next day you are open. A full-page cache can show yesterday's words until it is cleared.

= What is removed when I delete the plugin? =

The settings and the feed files. The Visit us page and the Not for pickup ticks stay; they are yours.

== Changelog ==

= 1.0.0 =
* First release: store details once, LocalBusiness through Schema, the Pick up today line, the Google local inventory feed with an offline check, the Visit us page, Business Profile post text and the name, address and phone check.
