Do I need a FukuroChat account?

Yes, you need a FukuroChat account to get your Assistant UUID and API Secret. Sign up at app.fukurochat.com to get started.

Does this plugin require WooCommerce?

Yes, this plugin requires WooCommerce 3.0 or higher to be installed and activated.

How does automatic product sync work?

When enabled in Step 3, the plugin automatically syncs products with FukuroChat:
* New products are added when published
* Existing products are updated when edited
* Products are removed when trashed or deleted
* Products are restored when recovered from trash

What product information is required for sync?

Products must have a title and description to be synchronized. SKU is optional but recommended for better product tracking. The plugin will show an admin notice if any required field is missing.

Can I preview the widget before publishing?

Yes! The plugin integrates with WordPress Theme Customizer, allowing you to see a live preview of the widget on your site before publishing changes.

How do I customize the widget appearance?

Go to Appearance > Customize > FukuroChat Widget, or click “Open Theme Customizer” in Step 2 of the setup wizard. You can customize bubble text, target element, and enable/disable the widget.

Will this slow down my site?

No, the plugin is lightweight and optimized for performance. Sync operations happen in the background, and the widget loads asynchronously without blocking page load.

What happens if a product sync fails?

The plugin will show an admin notice with details about the error on the product edit page. Common issues include missing required fields or API connection problems.

Can I disable automatic sync?

Yes, you can disable automatic sync at any time in Step 3 of the plugin settings. This won’t affect the widget or JSON endpoint.
