Description
oomates is an AI agent built for WooCommerce that helps your store sell more, support faster, and capture leads automatically.
Product Discovery & Sales
Your customers can search, browse, and buy products directly inside the chat widget. oomates understands natural language queries, shows relevant products with variants, and lets shoppers add items to their WooCommerce cart without leaving the conversation.

FAQ
-
Do I need a oomates account?
-
Yes. The plugin connects your WooCommerce store to the oomates platform, which provides the AI agent. Sign up at oomates.com.
-
Does the plugin work without WooCommerce?
-
The chat widget itself will load on any WordPress site, so oomates can still serve as a conversational assistant for service-based businesses. However, e-commerce features — cart integration, product search, order tracking, discount rules, and marketing automations — require WooCommerce to be installed and active.
-
Can I customize the widget appearance?
-
Yes. You can adjust the bubble position (horizontal and vertical offset) from the plugin settings page. Colors, avatar, and welcome messages are configured in your oomates dashboard.
-
What data is sent to oomates?
-
Cart operations, order details, and store URL are sent to the oomates backend for AI processing and automation. See the “External Services” section for full details.
