+
+## 💡 How the Pricing Algorithm Works
+
+### Step-by-Step Process
+
+1. **Product Selection**:
+   - Query all products with `stock_status = 'instock'`
+   - Filter by product type: simple and variable
+
+2. **Google Merchant Lookup**:
+   - Match by SKU (primary)
+   - Match by GTIN (secondary, if available)
+   - Retrieve competitor price from Google
+
+3. **Random Offset Generation**:
+   ```php
+   $offset = rand(5, 20) / 100; // 0.05 to 0.20
+   ```
+
+4. **Target Price Calculation**:
+   ```php
+   $target_price = $competitor_price - $offset;
+   ```
+
+5. **Tax Handling**:
+   - **If prices include tax**:
+     ```php
+     $new_price = $target_price;
+     ```
+   - **If prices exclude tax**:
+     ```php
+     $tax_rate = get_tax_rate($product);
+     $new_price = $target_price / (1 + $tax_rate/100);
+     ```
+
+6. **Minimum Price Check**:
+   ```php
+   $cost = get_post_meta($product_id, '_wc_cog_cost', true);
+   if (!$cost) $cost = $product->get_regular_price();
+
+   $minimum_price = $cost * (1 + $margin_percent/100);
+
+   if ($new_price < $minimum_price) {
+       $new_price = $minimum_price;
+   }
+   ```
+
+7. **Price Update**:
+   ```php
+   $product->set_sale_price($new_price);
+   $product->save();
+   ```
+
+8. **Logging**:
+   - Log to custom table
+   - Log to WooCommerce logger
+   - Track old price, new price, competitor price

+
+## 🧪 Testing Checklist
+
+Before deploying to production:
+
+- [ ] Test API connection with real credentials
+- [ ] Run manual sync with test products
+- [ ] Verify tax calculations (both inclusive and exclusive)
+- [ ] Check minimum margin enforcement
+- [ ] Test with products missing SKU
+- [ ] Test with products not in Merchant Center
+- [ ] Verify cron schedule is created
+- [ ] Check logs are being written
+- [ ] Test admin interface responsiveness
+- [ ] Verify uninstall cleanup
+
+---
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
