line sheets your wholesale buyers, trade show visitors, and email subscribers actually want. Foldsquare fills that gap \u2014 and you no longer have to lay one out yourself.<\/p>\n\n<p>Tell the Foldsquare AI assistant what you need \u2014 \"a 12-page spring lookbook from my new arrivals\", \"a wholesale line sheet at 40% off retail\" \u2014 and it picks the products out of your WooCommerce store, chooses a template, fills the pages, and hands you a finished catalog. Everything it makes is still yours to edit: nudge a photo, rewrite a heading, reorder the pages, or ask the assistant to do it for you.<\/p>\n\n<p>Connect your store in one click and your products, prices, images, and categories sync automatically \u2014 no CSV exports, no manual data entry, no design software. Whether you run a fashion boutique, a wholesale distributor, or a retail shop, your catalogs stay up to date the moment your store does.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Why store owners choose Foldsquare:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>An AI assistant that builds the catalog for you<\/strong> \u2014 Ask in plain language and the assistant searches your products, picks a template, composes the pages, applies your wholesale discount, and publishes. Ask it to swap a product, drop a page, or restyle a spread and it edits the catalog while you watch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automatic product sync<\/strong> \u2014 Products, prices, images, descriptions, and categories flow from WooCommerce to Foldsquare in real time via the WooCommerce REST API. Update a product in your store and the change appears in your catalog automatically.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Professional catalog templates<\/strong> \u2014 Start from professionally designed templates for product catalogs, seasonal lookbooks, wholesale line sheets, and promotional brochures. Customize every element to match your brand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Print-ready PDF export<\/strong> \u2014 Generate high-resolution PDF catalogs ready for professional printing or digital distribution. Share with customers, sales teams, or trade show attendees.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Full manual control<\/strong> \u2014 The AI is a shortcut, not a cage. The drag-and-drop editor is always there, and nothing the assistant does is locked: change any page, any product, any detail by hand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One-click connection<\/strong> \u2014 No coding, no API keys to copy and paste. Click \"Connect to Foldsquare\" and your store is linked in seconds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Secure and revocable<\/strong> \u2014 The plugin creates read-only API keys so Foldsquare can only read your product data. Disconnect at any time from your WordPress dashboard to instantly revoke access.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Built for WooCommerce store owners who need:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Product catalogs for trade shows, wholesale buyers, or in-store displays<\/li>\n<li>Seasonal lookbooks showcasing new collections or curated product lines<\/li>\n<li>Promotional brochures for marketing campaigns or mailers<\/li>\n<li>Line sheets for wholesale and B2B ordering<\/li>\n<li>Digital catalogs to embed on your website or share via email<\/li>\n<li>A finished catalog in minutes, without hiring a designer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>How it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Install the plugin<\/strong> \u2014 Upload and activate Foldsquare - AI Catalog Maker for WooCommerce from your WordPress dashboard, or install it directly from the WordPress plugin directory.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Connect your store<\/strong> \u2014 Navigate to WooCommerce &gt; Foldsquare and click \"Connect to Foldsquare\". The plugin securely links your store using read-only WooCommerce REST API keys.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ask for the catalog you want<\/strong> \u2014 Open Foldsquare and tell the assistant what to build: which products, how many pages, retail or wholesale. It assembles the catalog from your synced WooCommerce products while you watch. Prefer to do it yourself? The drag-and-drop editor works exactly as before.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Export and share<\/strong> \u2014 Download your finished catalog as a high-resolution PDF, ready for print or digital distribution. Update your catalog anytime \u2014 product changes sync automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p><strong>External Service:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>This plugin connects your WooCommerce store to <a href=\"https:\/\/foldsquare.nowinstore.com\">Foldsquare<\/a>, an external catalog builder service operated by Foldsquare Inc. When you click \"Connect to Foldsquare\", the plugin:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Generates WooCommerce REST API keys (read-only access to products and categories)<\/li>\n<li>Sends your store URL and API credentials to <code>https:\/\/foldsquare.nowinstore.com<\/code> over HTTPS<\/li>\n<li>Redirects you to Foldsquare to complete the connection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Catalogs are built and rendered on Foldsquare's servers, not in WordPress. When you use the AI assistant there, the messages you write and the product data needed to answer them \u2014 titles, descriptions, prices, images, and categories read from your store \u2014 are processed by a third-party AI model provider acting on Foldsquare's behalf. The plugin never reads or sends customer, order, or payment data.<\/p>\n\n<p>When you disconnect, the plugin notifies Foldsquare at <code>https:\/\/foldsquare.nowinstore.com\/api\/v1\/auth\/oauth\/woocommerce\/disconnect<\/code> to revoke the connection on their end.<\/p>\n\n<p>By using this plugin, you agree to the Foldsquare <a href=\"https:\/\/foldsquare.nowinstore.com\/terms\">Terms of Service<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/foldsquare.nowinstore.com\/privacy\">Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the <code>foldsquare-for-woocommerce<\/code> folder to the <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory, or install through the WordPress plugin screen.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the \"Plugins\" screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure WooCommerce is installed and active.<\/li>\n<li>Go to WooCommerce &gt; Foldsquare to connect your store.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"do%20i%20need%20a%20foldsquare%20account%3F\"><h3>Do I need a Foldsquare account?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>A Foldsquare account is automatically created for you the first time you connect your store.
