TrustFusion — Google Business Profile Reviews for WordPress

App Description

TrustFusion connects to the Google Business Profile API using secure OAuth 2.0 authentication to fetch and display your own business’s public reviews in a clean grid or list layout. The application operates entirely server-side, ensuring fast performance and optimal credential security.

• Secure Authentication: Connects seamlessly with Google OAuth using the required single scope.

• Place Resolution: Resolves your Google Maps URL to a specific Place ID entirely server‑side via the Google Places API.

• Local Caching: Fetches your latest 10 public reviews and stores them locally in your secure WordPress database.

• Shortcode Rendering: Displays reviews beautifully anywhere on your site using a simple shortcode: [ trustfusion_reviews layout="grid|list" limit="10" ]

• Automated Sync: Features a manual sync button along with a scheduled weekly background refresh utilizing WordPress WP‑CRON.

• Data Isolation: Zero client‑side Google API calls. The public-facing frontend of your website renders reviews exclusively from your local database cache, hiding your backend configurations.

Technical Data Flow Summary:

1. URL Input: The administrator pastes their public Google Maps business listing URL into the plugin settings panel.

2. ID Resolution: The server requests and resolves the corresponding Place ID via a server-to-server call to the Places API.

3. OAuth Consent: The administrator clicks Connect Google Business Profile, redirecting them to the Google OAuth consent screen to authorize secure offline access.

4. Token Storage: The server receives and saves the encrypted access and refresh tokens strictly inside the server-side WordPress options database.

5. Location Autodiscovery: The app automatically matches the authorized Google account location using the resolved metadata.placeId.

6. Review Processing: The app pulls the 10 most recent public reviews and writes them directly to local database tables (wp_trustfusion_reviews).

7. Frontend Render: The public shortcode queries the local database directly. No live calls to Google are exposed or executed in the visitor’s browser.

• Error Handling in Demo: The provided live demo accounts for common errors such as unauthorized accounts (not an owner/manager), unverified profiles, and token refresh failures.

• Disconnection & Data Management: Clicking disconnect instantly deletes all access/refresh tokens from the system. Administrators can fully purge cached profiles and review logs directly from the control panel.
