WinaltChat adds a fast, intelligent chat widget to your
WooCommerce store. Customers can search your product catalogue,
get instant answers about shipping and returns, and — when they
need a real person — connect to your support team through a built-in
live chat system, all without leaving your store.

AI Shopping Assistant

  • Dual AI Modes — Use your own API key from Groq — LLaMA
    (Free Tier), ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), or Gemini
    (Google) for full conversational AI. No key? The built-in
    Basic AI mode runs entirely on your server with zero external
    calls and zero ongoing cost.
  • Smart Product Search — Intent-aware search across your
    WooCommerce catalogue. Handles typos, synonyms, multilingual and mixed-language
    queries, and follow-up questions naturally.
  • Product Comparisons — Customers can ask “which is better, the Sony or the
    Samsung?” and get a clear side-by-side comparison
    with prices and key specs from your own catalogue.
  • Store Knowledge Base — Reads your shipping, returns, contact,
    and about pages to answer policy questions accurately and
    dynamically — no hardcoded answers that break for other stores.
  • Conversation Context — Remembers context within a session so
    follow-up questions (“does it come in blue?”) work naturally.
  • Amazon Affiliate Fallback — When a product is out of stock,
    optionally suggest an Amazon affiliate link so you still earn a
    commission.

Live Human Chat

  • Human Handoff — When a customer types phrases like “I want
    to talk to a human”, “customer service”, “live agent”, or dozens
    of natural variants, the plugin detects the request and connects
    them to a real person on your team.
  • Admin Live Chats Dashboard — A dedicated Live Chats screen
    in your WordPress admin shows all active, waiting, and closed
    conversations in a two-panel interface. Keep the tab open to stay
    marked online for visitors.
  • Visitor Name Prompt — Before connecting, the visitor is
    optionally asked for their name. If skipped, they are identified
    as “Visitor #ID” so you can tell conversations apart.
  • Full Conversation Context for Agents — When a customer is
    handed off, the admin sees the complete prior AI conversation so
    there is no need to ask “how can I help?” twice.
  • Visitor Presence Dot — A green dot shows the visitor is
    active. It turns grey within 30 seconds if they close the tab.
  • Two-Tier Timeout — If your team does not respond within
    90 seconds, the visitor sees a friendly patience message. After
    5 minutes of no reply, the chat gracefully falls back to the AI
    assistant with an optional email capture.
  • Intelligent Offline Handling — When no admin is online the AI
    keeps helping. Visitors can optionally leave their email for a
    follow-up. Leads appear in the admin Live Chats list with a
    dedicated Leads section and unread badge.
  • Session Management — Close chats when resolved, or delete
    them permanently. Closed and lead sessions stay visible in
    their own sections until manually removed.
  • Zero External Dependencies — Live chat runs entirely within
    your WordPress site using secure AJAX polling over the REST API.
    No Pusher, no third-party service, no extra cost.
  • Email Notifications — Get an email when a customer starts a
    live chat or leaves their contact details while you are offline.

Privacy & Security

  • All live chat data is stored in your own WordPress database.
    Nothing is sent to an external service.
  • Session tokens are 32-character cryptographically random strings
    — not sequential IDs — so sessions cannot be enumerated.
  • All endpoints enforce nonces, capability checks, input
    sanitization, output escaping, and rate limiting.
  • Message content is sanitized server-side and rendered via
    textContent in the browser — XSS injection is not possible.

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.2 or later
  • WooCommerce 7.0 or later (must be installed and active)
  • PHP 7.4 or later
  • An API key from Groq, OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google (optional —
    Basic AI and Live Chat both work without one)

Support

We aim to respond to all support requests within 48 hours.

External Services

This plugin connects to third-party AI providers only when you
configure an external AI mode and enter your own API key. In Basic
AI mode and during live human chat, no external AI service is used.

AI Providers (optional — only when an API key is configured)

Customer messages, recent conversation context, and relevant store
and product context are sent to the AI provider you select so it
can generate a response. No data is sent to these providers when
using Basic AI mode.

Amazon Associate Program (optional — only when a tag is configured)

When the Amazon fallback is enabled and no matching product is
found in your store, the plugin generates an Amazon search link
with your Associate tag. No customer data is transmitted to Amazon
by the plugin — the link simply directs the visitor’s browser.
