The chat widget is bundled directly inside the plugin — no external scripts are loaded or executed at runtime. All communication with the Zanderio service uses your store’s existing Application Password credentials over HTTPS. Features: * One-click activation — auto-handshake with Zanderio backend * Application Password authentication (no manual API keys) * WooCommerce product/order sync via webhooks * Widget colour customisation from Settings Zanderio * Daily health heartbeat * Clean uninstall — all data removed from both sides ### External Services This plugin connects your WordPress site to two **Zanderio** (`zanderio.ai`) services over plain HTTPS REST calls. There is no WebSocket connection — all communication, including live streaming chat responses, uses standard HTTPS requests. #### api.zanderio.ai (REST API — store connection) Used server-side by the plugin (PHP) and client-side by the chat widget (JS) to bootstrap the widget. **Server-side (PHP):** * **On activation** — sends your store URL, site name, admin email, WordPress version, WooCommerce version, and plugin version to register the store. * **Webhooks** — WooCommerce product and order data is pushed via webhooks so the AI agent can answer customer questions accurately. * **Daily heartbeat** — a lightweight ping confirming the store is still active. * **On deactivation / uninstall** — notifies Zanderio to disconnect the store and delete associated data. **Client-side (loader.js) — widget bootstrap:** * **`POST /v1/widget/bootstrap`** — on page load, the widget exchanges the plugin’s public widget key for a short-lived session token and your appearance settings( brand color, logo, launcher animation). No personally identifiable visitor data is required for this step; an anonymous visitor id is generated locally and sent along so return visits resume the same conversation. #### agent.zanderio.ai (AI Service — chat) Used client-side by the chat widget (JS) only, authenticated with the session token issued by the bootstrap call above. * **`POST /v1/threads/{id}/chat`** — sends the visitor’s typed messages and streams the AI agent’s reply back over the same HTTPS connection (Server-Sent Events) as it’s generated. * **`GET /v1/threads/{id}/state`** — restores the visitor’s prior messages when the widget reopens after a page reload, so conversation history isn’t lost. **Links:** * [Zanderio Terms of Service](https://zanderio.ai/resources/terms-and-conditions) * [Zanderio Privacy Policy](https://zanderio.ai/resources/privacy-policy) ### Source Code & Build Tools The file `assets/loader.js` is a minified production build.

Off by default; enable it from Settings Zanderio. * Added proactive nudges — the assistant can now surface a contextual prompt bubble based on shopper behavior (e.g. cart activity), in addition to the existing timed welcome bubble. #### 1.4.5 * Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 7.0. #### 1.4.4 * The Settings Zanderio page now checks WordPress.org for plugin updates every time you view it, instead of waiting for WordPress’s normal update schedule ( up to 12 hours). #### 1.4.3 * Fixed the chat widget not appearing after a successful connection — the plugin now reliably receives its widget identifier from the Zanderio service and renders the widget on the storefront. #### 1.4.2 * Fixed the plugin’s connection handshake calling a URL missing a required path segment, which made every new install fail immediately with “Route Not Found” and silently prevented the chat widget from ever loading. #### 1.4.1 * Corrected External Services disclosure to accurately describe the REST-based bootstrap and chat streaming endpoints (previously referenced an unused WebSocket connection). #### 1.4.0 * Fixed a bug where the chat widget could silently fail to send a shopper’s first message right after the page loaded, requiring a manual refresh to recover. * Redesigned the chat header and message bubbles to match your store’s brand color exactly — solid brand color on the header, launcher, and your own sent messages, with a cleaner neutral background for AI replies. * Added a modern send button that stays muted until you start typing, then fills with your brand color — the same pattern used by today’s leading messaging apps. * Reworked the widget’s expanded view into a larger centered window instead of a full-screen takeover, so shoppers keep more of the page visible behind it. * Added an idle wiggle animation and an optional auto-open delay for the chat launcher button, plus support for showing your own store logo on the launcher instead of the default icon. * Polished launcher button padding and logo sizing for a cleaner look across screen sizes. #### 1.3.3 * Migrated the embed to the REST-bootstrap widget: the loader now boots from the public widget key (`window.ZanderioWidgetConfig.key`) instead of the legacy ` storeId` config. * The plugin now stores the widget key returned by the connection handshake and only renders the widget once a key is present. * Hints the WooCommerce platform so in-widget cart adds resolve to the storefront adapter. #### 1.3.2 * Added cart preview sheet component for in-widget cart confirmation before adding items. * Enhanced artifact component styling with improved product cards, carousels, notices, lists, tables, and wizards. * Added cart preview sheet complement styles with quantity controls and product details. * Improved artifact product card cart button interactions and disabled states. #### 1.3.1 * Fixed confirmation cards not displaying description text or action buttons — booking confirmations and cart flows now render correctly. * Fixed wizard step progress not showing step descriptions. * Improved SSE stream version validation to handle both numeric and string version numbers from backend. * Consolidated form field schema for improved type safety across all widget surfaces. #### 1.3.0 * Fixed add-to-cart button not appearing for product recommendations — products now render through the full WooCommerce ProductCard / ProductCarousel regardless of whether they arrive via the new or legacy pipeline. * Upgraded WordPress widget to the full 10-kind artifact taxonomy (card, select, confirm, notice, feedback, list, table, wizard, text, form), matching the general CDN widget and client-side playground exactly. * New artifact kinds (booking confirmation flows, datetime slot pickers, quick- reply chips, data tables, multi-step wizard progress, inline forms, notices) now render correctly. * Removed all legacy message-type dispatching — all AI responses flow through the unified artifact pipeline; product normalization happens once in the message hook before rendering. * Added searching_calendar skeleton loading state to match the general widget. * Removed dependency on the separate FeedbackButtons component; feedback is now handled inline via the feedback artifact kind. #### 1.2.5 * Restored product browsing to a clean arrow-based carousel with minimal store- themed previous and next controls. * Refined product-card actions so direct WooCommerce adds use a compact cart icon button and choose-options flows show a disabled in-button loader before navigation. * Updated the product loading state to match the restored arrow-based carousel layout. * Improved chat refresh recovery by restoring the latest visitor conversation when the persisted conversation ID is missing or stale. #### 1.2.4 * Replaced the arrow-based product carousel with a gesture-first horizontal swipe rail for browsing product results inside the chat widget. * Reworked the loading state into full-card skeleton placeholders that match the live product rail layout. * Reduced the product-card footprint and improved CTA visibility so key actions stay visible inside the widget viewport. * Prevented unresolved multi-variant WooCommerce products from attempting broken AJAX cart adds by routing shoppers to the product page to choose options first. #### 1.2.3 * Added a product-card cart confirmation flow for WooCommerce storefronts, including an in-widget bottom-sheet preview before the item is added to cart. * Added quantity controls and clearer product, variant, and pricing details inside the cart confirmation sheet. * Limited the product-card cart flow to WooCommerce and WordPress storefronts instead of attempting unsupported storefront cart mutations. * Improved WordPress store relinking so plugin installs can attach cleanly to an already-connected Zanderio store during reconnect and portal-first install flows. #### 1.2.2 * Fixed a small streaming-cursor rendering issue that could show an empty message bubble before streamed text arrived. #### 1.2.1 * Refreshed the chat widget design with improved spacing, contrast-aware accent colors, a pill-style composer, and smoother message-area behavior. * Improved the in-chat product experience with richer product cards, better variant summaries, swatches, pricing display, and stock-state feedback. * Added storefront cart actions for WooCommerce with lightweight success and failure toast feedback. * Improved message rendering with better action button handling, safer external link normalization, and a compact expandable thinking-status pill. * Added storeId-aware widget bootstrap support in the WordPress plugin. * Persist the remote store identity from install, reconnect, and authenticated health-check responses. * Connected stores now self-heal a missing local storeId from the settings page before rendering widget config. * Inject `storeId` into `window.ZanderioWidgetConfig` when known so the widget can bootstrap against the correct store. * Clean up the persisted remote store identity on uninstall to avoid stale local metadata. * Prepared the plugin for exact-origin widget hardening rollout while keeping the current compatibility path in place. #### 1.2.0 * Full AI streaming support — real-time SSE responses via fetch + ReadableStream. * Thread persistence — conversation history survives page reloads. * JWT authentication for secure AI streaming sessions. * Thinking status indicators — contextual labels while the AI processes. * Conversation lifecycle — end states, “Start New Chat” button. * Proactive engagement — configurable bubble to encourage visitors to chat. * Feedback buttons — thumbs up/down on AI responses. * Suggestion chips — quick-reply options from the AI. * Error handling — friendly messages for 401/403/429/5xx responses. * Streaming cursor animation and error message styling. * Nested config support for updated backend schema. #### 1.1.0 * Widget JS is now bundled inside the plugin zip (assets/loader.js) — no remote script is fetched or executed at runtime. * Script and CSS enqueued via wp_enqueue_script, wp_enqueue_style and wp_add_inline_style for full WordPress compatibility. * Added widget host container with fixed-position CSS, matching the Shopify theme extension exactly. * Added ZanderioWidgetLoaded guard against double-initialisation. * Added Primary Color picker to Settings Zanderio. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release. ## Meta * Version **1.4.6** * Last updated **3 days ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 5.6 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.1** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/zanderio-ai/) * Tags * [AI](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ai/)[chat](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/chat/) [sales agent](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/sales-agent/)[widget](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/widget/) [woocommerce](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/woocommerce/) * [Advanced View](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/zanderio-ai/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
