Overview
MicroPowerManager is configured and extended through plugins. Plugins extend the core functionality by integrating external services and APIs. This makes it possible to connect MicroPowerManager to third-party systems without modifying the core application.
Typical examples include:
- Manufacturer integrations (for token generation or remote management)
- Transaction providers (e.g. mobile money) or Payment aggregators
- Data import and export services
- External communication interfaces
Most plugins require an initial setup. This usually includes:
- Providing credentials for the external service
- Configuring synchronization intervals
- Defining connection parameters
After the initial configuration, plugins generally run without requiring changes in day-to-day operations.
INFO
The words plugin and integration are mostly used interchangeably. The integration of an external party or service with MicroPowerManager is implemented through development of a plugin.
