SHORT DESCRIPTION
    Manage WooCommerce stores directly from PowerShell

LONG DESCRIPTION
    WooCommercePS is a cross-platform PowerShell module designed to simplify
    the management of WooCommerce-based online stores through the WooCommerce REST API.

    The module enables administrators and developers to automate common tasks
    such as managing products, orders, customers, and more—directly from PowerShell.

    It works on Windows, Linux, and macOS, making it suitable for modern DevOps
    and automation workflows.

    Before using this module, you need to generate API credentials from your
    WooCommerce store:

        1. Log in to your WooCommerce admin dashboard.
        2. Navigate to: WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API.
        3. Click "Add Key".
        4. Provide a description, select a user, and set permissions to "Read/Write".
        5. Generate the API key and note the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret.

    Use these credentials to connect via PowerShell.

EXAMPLES
    Example 1: Connect to a WooCommerce store

        PS> Connect-WooCommerce `
                    -ConsumerKey "your_consumer_key" `
                    -ConsumerSecret "your_consumer_secret" `
                    -StoreUrl "https://yourstore.com"

    Example 2: Retrieves all orders with default filters (status=any, sorted by date ascending).

        PS> Get-WooCommerceOrder

    Example 3: List products in stock

        PS> Get-WooCommerceProduct -stockstatus instock
