Arbana Sale Tracker

The Arbana Sale Tracker is the official connector plugin for the Arbana mobile marketplace. It allows WooCommerce store owners to seamlessly sync their on-sale inventory with the Arbana app, ensuring mobile users always see the most up-to-date deals and promotions.

This plugin runs quietly in the background, listening for product updates. When you put a product on sale in WooCommerce, this plugin automatically formats the data to the strict Arbana JSON schema and pushes it to the cloud.

Key Features:

• Real-time Sync: Instantly updates the Arbana app when you create, update, or delete sale products.
• Automatic Formatting: Converts WooCommerce product data into optimized JSON payloads, including generated promotion IDs.
• Manual Batch Sync: Includes a one-click tool to sync your existing inventory of on-sale items.
• Secure Connection: Uses OAuth-style authentication to securely link your store to your Arbana account without sharing admin passwords.
• Lightweight: Designed to minimize database load by only tracking products that are actively on sale.
