Description

CodersShip AI Chatbot for WooCommerce brings an AI-powered assistant to your WooCommerce store. It helps customers check product stock in real time, answers custom FAQs, captures leads, and reduces support tickets.

Key Features:

✅ Product Availability Check – Customers can ask “Do you have Laptop?” and get instant stock updates.
✅ Real‑time WooCommerce Integration – Automatically reads product names, stock, and categories.
✅ Custom FAQ Patterns – Define regex‑based questions and answers via admin panel.
✅ Lead Capture – Collect visitor name/email before starting a chat (optional).
✅ REST API Endpoint – /cschatwc/v1/chat for external or headless integrations.
✅ Shortcode Ready – Use [cschatwc_chatbot] anywhere (page, post, widget).
✅ Global Toggle – Option to display chatbot on all pages or only via shortcode.
✅ Synonyms – Map slang to canonical product names (e.g., “macbook” “Laptop”).
✅ Custom Product Lists – For stores not using WooCommerce, define your own products with stock.
✅ Fully Translation Ready – All strings use proper text domain.

Admin Features:

  • Settings page to control lead capture, product source, synonyms, and global enable.
  • Manage custom FAQs (add, edit, delete) with regex patterns.
  • View captured leads with name, email, timestamp, and page URL.
  • Promotional sidebar to cross‑sell your other products.

Technical Highlights:

  • Follows WordPress Coding Standards (escaping, nonces, sanitization, capabilities).
  • Direct file access protection on all PHP files.
  • Safe output escaping and translation functions.
  • wp_safe_redirect() and permission checks for admin actions.

Demo & Support

  1. Upload the codersship-ai-chatbot-woocommerce folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to CS Chat in the admin menu.
  4. Configure settings:
    • Enable/disable lead capture.
    • Choose product source (WooCommerce or custom list).
    • Add custom FAQs and synonyms.
  5. Insert the shortcode [cschatwc_chatbot] into any post, page, or widget.
  6. (Optional) Enable “Global Enable” to show the chatbot on all pages.
How do I change the chatbot’s appearance?

The plugin includes basic inline CSS. You can override styles using your theme’s CSS or via the wp_head action.

Can I use this without WooCommerce?

Yes. In Settings Product Source, select “Custom List” and define your products (one per line: Name|Stock).

How to capture leads?

Enable “Lead Capture” in Settings. The chatbot will ask for name/email before answering questions. Leads are stored under Captured Leads submenu.

Can I add my own FAQ answers?

Absolutely. Go to CS Chat Settings Custom FAQ Answers. Enter a regex pattern (e.g., \b(return|refund)\b) and your answer.

Does it support translations?

Yes. The plugin uses __(), _e(), esc_html__(), etc. with text domain codersship-ai-chatbot-woocommerce. You can translate with Loco Translate or WordPress.org translation tools.

How does the synonym feature work?

For example, if you set macbook|Laptop, when a user types “macbook”, the chatbot will treat it as “Laptop” and check stock for that product.

Is the REST API public?

The endpoint /cschatwc/v1/chat is publicly accessible (no authentication). It accepts POST JSON { "message": "Do you have Laptop?" } and returns a reply. Lead capture is also sent via { "lead": { "name": "John", "email": "john@example.com" } }.
