Description
Running a WooCommerce store means drowning in support tickets, endless admin clicks, and questions you’ve answered a thousand times. Assistify gives you an AI assistant that speaks WooCommerce natively.
The problem is simple: You spend hours looking up orders, explaining shipping policies, and handling the same customer questions over and over. Meanwhile, tools like Shopify have Sidekick, and you’re stuck with nothing.
Here’s what Assistify does: It lets you manage your store through conversation. Ask «what sold today?» and get real numbers. Tell it to «create a 20% off coupon for Black Friday» and it’s done. Your customers can check their orders, pause subscriptions, or reschedule bookings, without waiting for you.
What Store Owners Actually Get?
Forget fluffy promises. Here’s what you can do:
Ask questions in plain English:
- Show me orders from last week that are still processing.
- Which products are running low on stock?
- What’s my revenue this month compared to last month?
- Find all customers who ordered more than $500.
Take action through chat:
- Create coupons with specific rules and expiry dates.
- Process refunds without clicking through five screens.
- Update product prices and stock levels.
- Add notes to orders.
Generate content when you’re stuck:
- Product titles that don’t sound like «Product #4523».
- Descriptions that actually describe the product.
- Review responses that don’t take 20 minutes to write.
- Email templates for common situations.
Monitor your store’s health:
- Get alerts when something breaks (not three days later).
- See error logs without SSH access.
- Track failed payments before customers complain.
- Know when plugins need updating.
What Your Customers Get?
A chat widget that actually helps instead of saying «please contact support»:
- Order tracking: «Where’s my order?» gets a real answer, not a tracking link.
- Subscription management: Pause, skip, or cancel without hunting through account pages.
- Booking changes: Reschedule appointments through a quick chat.
- Product questions: Get specifications, availability, shipping info instantly.
No more «our team will get back to you within 24-48 hours.»

FAQ
-
Do I need an API key?
-
Yes. Assistify uses a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model. You pay your AI provider directly — no middleman markup from us.
-
How much will this cost me?
-
The plugin is free. AI costs depend on usage and provider. Typical conversations cost $0.001 to $0.02 each. A small store might spend $5-20/month total.
-
Is my store data sent to the AI?
-
Only conversation context. The AI doesn’t get your entire database. Sensitive data (card numbers, passwords) is filtered out automatically. Everything is encrypted in transit.
-
Will it work with my WooCommerce extensions?
-
Core WooCommerce works out of the box. We’ve built specific integrations for Subscriptions, Bookings, Memberships, and Hotel Booking for WooCommerce. More coming.
-
Can the AI actually change things in my store?
-
Yes, but with safeguards. The admin assistant can process refunds, create coupons, update products, etc. Destructive actions require confirmation. Everything is logged.
-
What if the AI makes a mistake?
-
All actions are logged with timestamps and details. You can see exactly what happened. For dangerous actions, you’ll need to confirm before anything executes.
-
Is it GDPR compliant?
-
Yes. Consent management, data export, data deletion, it’s all built in.
-
Can customers access other customers’ data?
-
No. Customers can only see their own orders, subscriptions, and bookings. Permission checks happen on every request.
-
How do I get help?
-
GitHub Issues for bugs and feature requests. And forum for support.
