You retain full control: select or deselect products at any time, disconnect social accounts in one click, and review every published post inside your WordPress admin.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin itself is a thin client. The heavy work \u2014 caption generation, scheduling, OAuth token storage, publishing to Meta \u2014 runs on the Storey backend service at api.storeyplugin.co.za. A Storey account and active subscription are required to publish; a 14-day free trial is included.<\/p>\n\n<h4>What you can do<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Connect your WooCommerce store to Storey with a single API key.<\/li>\n<li>Pick which products are eligible for social posting from a familiar WooCommerce-style picker.<\/li>\n<li>Connect Facebook Pages and Instagram Business accounts via OAuth (no copy-pasting of access tokens).<\/li>\n<li>Schedule and publish posts automatically \u2014 Storey decides timing and writes the captions.<\/li>\n<li>See connection status, recent posts, and any errors directly inside the WordPress admin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>How it works<\/h4>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Install and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n<li>Use the in-admin onboarding wizard to register or sign in to your Storey account. An API key is provisioned for this site.<\/li>\n<li>Select the WooCommerce products you want promoted.<\/li>\n<li>Connect Facebook \/ Instagram from the plugin's Connections page.<\/li>\n<li>Storey takes it from there \u2014 posting on your schedule, surfaced back to your dashboard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin relies on the Storey backend service to do its work. Without this service the plugin cannot function.<\/p>\n\n<p>Found at https:\/\/api.storeyplugin.co.za\/<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What the service does<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Provides account\/license management, caption generation, social-account OAuth, post scheduling and publishing for the plugin. All caption, posting, and OAuth work happens server-side at api.storeyplugin.co.za; the WordPress plugin is a thin client.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What data is sent and when<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>When you create an account or sign in via the onboarding wizard: your email address, password, and store URL are sent over HTTPS to establish your Storey account and issue an API key.<\/li>\n<li>When you select products for posting: product title, description, price, currency, image URLs, product IDs, and your store URL are sent so Storey can generate captions and schedule posts.<\/li>\n<li>When you connect a Facebook or Instagram account: the OAuth flow is initiated by the backend; the access tokens issued by Meta are stored on the Storey backend, not in WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>When you load admin screens that show status: a short status check is made over HTTPS to verify license validity.<\/li>\n<li>When you disconnect a social account: a request is sent to revoke the corresponding token server-side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>All requests are authenticated with your site's Storey API key over HTTPS. No data is sent to any third party other than the Storey backend (which in turn talks to Meta and the payment processor on your behalf, as described in our Privacy Policy).<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Terms of Service<\/strong>: https:\/\/storeyplugin.co.za\/terms.html\n<strong>Privacy Policy<\/strong>: https:\/\/storeyplugin.co.za\/privacy.html<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the <code>storey<\/code> folder to <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> (or install the zip from the WordPress plugin directory).<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the <strong>Plugins<\/strong> menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure <strong>WooCommerce<\/strong> is installed and active \u2014 Storey will display a notice if it isn't.<\/li>\n<li>Open <strong>Storey \u2192 Dashboard<\/strong> in the admin sidebar to launch the onboarding wizard.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the wizard to create a Storey account or sign in, then return to the plugin to pick products and connect social accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"do%20i%20need%20a%20storey%20account%3F\"><h3>Do I need a Storey account?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes.
