SommelierX Wine Pairing

SommelierX Wine Pairing brings taste-calculated food-pairing suggestions to your WooCommerce store, explained through SommelierX Wine DNA. It helps customers understand which dishes fit each bottle and why.

Install and you’re connected — no account needed. Click one button and the plugin verifies your domain and sets everything up for you. There is no separate sign-up, and no API key to copy or paste. It just works.

Free during the early-store programme. Use SommelierX while we build it together with early stores. Tell us what you need and we will build it.

External services disclosure

This plugin relies on the SommelierX service:

• On “Connect”, the plugin briefly publishes a random verification token at /wp-json/sommelierx/v1/handshake and asks https://api.sommelierx.com to provision your store; SommelierX fetches that token to confirm you own the domain, then returns your widget key. No account or password is involved.
• On “Import your catalog”, SommelierX reads your published products from the public WooCommerce Store API (/wp-json/wc/store/products) to build your wine assortment.
• On product pages, the plugin loads a script from https://sommelierx.com/widget/v1.js, which sends the wine’s product information (name, ID, and your widget key) to https://api.sommelierx.com to fetch pairings.
• No customer personal data is sent — only product and widget usage information.

Four pairing flows, each compact or full:

• Product mode — Food-pairing suggestions on individual wine product pages: customers see which dishes pair best with the wine they are viewing.
• Search mode — A search bar where visitors type a dish (or even a single ingredient) and get wine recommendations from your catalog.
• Build a Plate mode — Visitors choose a main ingredient, preparation, sauce, sides, and amounts before seeing wines from your catalog.
• Choose a Wine mode — Visitors select a wine from your catalog and see its matching dishes.
• Multilingual — Search and results in Dutch or English.

Key features:

• One-click connect — install, click “Connect to SommelierX”, done. No account.

• Search by dish name or ingredient, in Dutch or English.
• Light and dark theme to match your store.
• Configurable accent color for brand consistency.
• Loads asynchronously — no impact on page speed.
