    - **<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Plugin Name:</span>**<span data-preserver-spaces="true"> Input a suitable name in the designated field. Select a meaningful name to you, possibly aligning with your store's name, for clarity in future order references.</span>
    - **<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Client Code: </span>**<span data-preserver-spaces="true">This is a unique identifier provided to you by the MNP platform upon registration or during the setup process. It is used to identify your specific account or client profile within their system.</span>

    - **Stock Management:**
        - **Add Products to MNP:**
            - <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Activate this function to synchronise your store products with MNP. Enabling it creates your store products within the MNP system.</span>
            - <span data-preserver-spaces="true">For example, suppose you intend to retrieve products from a sales channel like TikTok and transfer the product data to MNP. In that case, you must initially activate the product download option from the sales channel. Subsequently, enable the "Add Products to MNP" option to ensure the products are first added to Channels. At this point, the system transmits the product data to MNP. Follow these steps precisely to ensure the products are generated in MNP.</span>
        - **Download Products:** This feature can<span data-preserver-spaces="true"> fetch product information from the MNP plugin and generate corresponding Store products. It also retrieves product quantities from MNP every 3 minutes, updating the plugin quantities accordingly.</span>
        - **Auto Sync Stock:** <span data-preserver-spaces="true">This functionality ensures that stock levels across all channels under the store linked to this plugin are regularly updated with quantities received from the MNP plugin every 3 minutes.</span>
6. <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Once all fields are populated, finalise by selecting "Save" at the bottom right.</span>
7. <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Activate the connection from the top of the screen using the "Is Active" button.</span>
