Extend your WooCommerce Store API with secure authentication endpoints for social and manual login. Ideal for custom apps, headless themes, or frontend frameworks.

== Description ==

**Hippoo Auth** enhances the WooCommerce Store API by adding secure JWT-based authentication endpoints. It supports login and signup via Google, Facebook, Apple, or manually with email and password. Once authenticated, users can retrieve and update their billing/shipping information, view order history, and more — all via API.

Perfect for developers building API-driven themes, custom mobile apps, or headless WooCommerce experiences.

Use it to build:

- Headless WooCommerce themes
- Custom frontend apps (React, Vue, etc.)
- Mobile apps using Flutter, React Native, or Kotlin
- API-based user dashboards

With Hippoo Auth, users can register, login (manually or via Google, Apple, or Facebook), and securely access:

- Order history and details  
- Billing and shipping addresses  
- JWT-based session tokens with refresh support  

🔐 Auth is handled via JWT for secure stateless sessions, ideal for frontend-heavy or decoupled environments.
