What you see there is exactly what your shoppers get.<\/p>\n\n<h3>\ud83c\udfd7\ufe0f How it works<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>One click, and your store is connected.<\/strong> The plugin connects your store to the Backpilot service, which does all the heavy lifting and hides the complexity.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p><strong>Your catalog, AI-ready.<\/strong> Backpilot reads your catalog straight from the WooCommerce Store API \u2014 the same public data any visitor's browser sees \u2014 and turns it into a structure an AI can reason about. No scraping, no fragile mappings.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>A cart your store recognizes.<\/strong> The concierge builds the cart in your shopper's own WooCommerce session, then hands them to the checkout you already run. One order, one source of truth.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Continuous sync, no stale answers.<\/strong> Sell a unit, change a price, ship a new SKU \u2014 Backpilot stays in sync. Shoppers in chat see what's actually in stock at the price you actually charge.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>\ud83c\udd93 Start with the free plan<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>Free to install. Free to start.<\/strong> Backpilot offers a fully functional free plan with every feature included \u2014 enough to see what the concierge does for real shoppers on your store.<\/p>\n\n<p>The free tier includes <strong>up to 50 shopper conversations per calendar month, at no charge.<\/strong> One conversation is one chat session in which a shopper has sent at least one message, and the count resets on the first day of each month. When a month's conversations are used up, the concierge simply stops appearing on your storefront until the count resets.<\/p>\n\n<p>When you need more than that, you can upgrade your plan \u2014 see the <a href=\"https:\/\/backpilot.ai\/pricing\/\">pricing page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h3>\ud83d\udd0c External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>The plugin is the connector between your store and the <a href=\"https:\/\/backpilot.ai\/woocommerce\/\">Backpilot service<\/a>, which powers the concierge; the service is required for the plugin to work.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Nothing is sent until you click Connect.<\/strong> After that: connecting registers your shop with the service (your site's URL, your administrator email \u2014 used only to tell you when your shop goes live or needs attention \u2014 and your WordPress, WooCommerce and plugin versions); the service then reads your public product catalog through the standard WooCommerce Store API and keeps it in sync; your site periodically checks your shop's status using the site key issued at registration; and when a shopper uses the concierge, their messages and the products shown are processed and stored by the service \u2014 payment details are never involved, checkout runs on your own site. Deleting the plugin sends one deregistration request that stops the service from serving your shop.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/backpilot.ai\/terms\/\">Terms of service<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/backpilot.ai\/privacy\/\">Privacy policy<\/a><\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<p>Backpilot is a WordPress plugin that connects your WooCommerce store to the Backpilot service \u2014 the plugin is the connector and the control panel.<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Install and activate the Backpilot plugin (WooCommerce must be active).<\/li>\n<li>Go to <strong>WooCommerce \u2192 Backpilot<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Connect your store by clicking <strong>Connect shop<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Watch the status card while your catalog imports \u2014 this usually takes a few minutes.<\/li>\n<li>When the status shows <strong>Active<\/strong>, the concierge is live on your storefront.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>For more detailed instructions, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/backpilot.ai\/docs\/\">Plugin guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"is%20this%20just%20another%20chatbot%3F\"><h3>Is this just another chatbot?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>It's chat, but not a canned-answers chatbot.
