Creates a WooCommerce product XML feed for Google Merchant Center.

== Description ==

Inventive Product Feed creates a Google Merchant Center-compatible XML feed at:

* `/inventive-product-feed.xml`

The legacy `/inventive-gmc-feed.xml` URL remains available in version 1.1 for backwards compatibility.

The feed includes simple products and product variations, using product images, prices, stock status, brand metadata, identifiers, categories, and supported variation attributes.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `inventive-product-feed` directory to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Open `/inventive-product-feed.xml` on the site to confirm the feed renders.
4. Add the feed URL to Google Merchant Center using the file feed source.

== Requirements ==

WooCommerce must be active for the feed to render.

== Updates ==

Private updates use an HTTPS JSON manifest and require a SHA-256 checksum for every release package. See `UPDATER.md` for publishing and reuse instructions.
