Description
A customer types “winter boots, waterproof, under 80, size 9” into your store. Your search returns every boot you sell. The customer wanted four specific things and got none of them filtered.
This plugin connects your WooCommerce store to the Emporiqa AI chatbot. It acts like an online salesperson: shoppers describe what they need (or upload a photo of something they like), it finds matching products from your catalog, handles objections, answers questions from your own pages, compares items, and walks them to cart and checkout.
Try it yourself on the live demo store.
What it does:
- Closes sales: handles objections like “too expensive” by suggesting alternatives from your catalog, instead of giving up
- Searches your product catalog by what shoppers mean, not just keywords
- Visual search: a shopper uploads a photo (something they saw on social, a style they like), the chatbot describes it and finds matching products in your catalog
- Answers questions about shipping, returns, and payment from your store pages
- Compares products side by side
- Adds to cart and sends shoppers to checkout
- Tracks which chats led to purchases (full conversion funnel with chat-attributed revenue)
- Starts conversations automatically based on shopper behavior (time on page, pages visited, checkout page)
- Rates shopper satisfaction after each conversation (thumbs up/down with aggregate scores)
- Hands off to your team when it can’t help
- Works in 65+ languages
- Unlimited team members on every plan, no per-seat fees

For developers:
The plugin provides 20+ WordPress filters to customize synced data, control which products sync, override cart/checkout URLs, assign sales channels, and more. WP-CLI commands available for bulk sync operations. See the full documentation.
Key filters: emporiqa_product_data, emporiqa_should_sync_product, emporiqa_widget_enabled, emporiqa_checkout_url, emporiqa_order_tracking_data.
Third-Party Service
This plugin connects to Emporiqa, an external service, in the following ways:
- Webhook sync: Product and page data is sent to the Emporiqa API (
https://emporiqa.com/webhooks/sync/) when content changes or during manual sync operations. Data is authenticated via HMAC-SHA256 signatures. - Chat widget: An external JavaScript file is loaded from
https://emporiqa.com/chat/embed/on all public-facing pages (when a Store ID is configured) to display the chat assistant. - Order tracking: Emporiqa may send requests to your site’s REST API to look up order status on behalf of customers.
An Emporiqa account is required. By using this plugin you agree to the Emporiqa Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Screenshots

Product search — the chatbot recommends items from your catalog when shoppers describe what they want, with price, stock, and add-to-cart 
Closes the sale — handles objections like “cheaper on Amazon” with facts about your store, not a discount 
Product comparison — side-by-side specs, prices, and features so the shopper can decide without leaving the chat 
In-chat cart — shoppers add items and proceed to checkout without leaving the conversation 
Customer support — answers shipping, payment, and policy questions from your own pages 
Human handoff — when the chatbot can’t help, your team takes over with the full conversation history 
Order tracking — shoppers check order status in chat using only their order number and email 
Analytics dashboard — revenue attributed to chat, conversions, widget engagement, satisfaction, top products 
Plugin settings — connect your store with a Store ID and secret. Everything syncs automatically after that 
Bulk sync — one click to send your whole catalog; Test Connection verifies the setup first

FAQ
-
Where do I get my Store ID and Connection Secret?
-
Log in to your Emporiqa dashboard at emporiqa.com and navigate to Settings > Store Integration.
-
Does this work with Polylang, WPML, or TranslatePress?
-
Yes. The plugin automatically detects Polylang, WPML, and TranslatePress, and syncs content in all configured languages. Languages are auto-detected on activation.
-
How do I do the initial sync?
-
After configuring the plugin, either use the “Sync All” button in Settings > Emporiqa > Sync tab, or run
wp emporiqa sync-allvia WP-CLI. After the initial sync, changes are sent automatically in real-time. -
Can I control which products get synced?
-
Yes. Use the
emporiqa_should_sync_productfilter:add_filter( 'emporiqa_should_sync_product', function( $should_sync, $product ) { if ( $product->get_price() <= 0 ) { return false; } return $should_sync; }, 10, 2 ); -
What post types can I sync as pages?
-
By default, the
pagepost type is synced. You can configure additional public post types (posts, custom post types) in Settings > Emporiqa under “Page Content Types”. -
Does the plugin support WooCommerce HPOS?
-
Yes. The plugin declares compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (Custom Order Tables).
-
How does order tracking work?
-
The plugin exposes a REST API endpoint that Emporiqa calls when a customer asks about their order. Requests are authenticated automatically using your connection secret.
-
Does visual search work with any product?
-
Yes. The chatbot accepts a photo upload, describes what it sees (color, material, category, distinctive features), and searches your catalog using that description. Works best for products with photos that show the item clearly. The shopper doesn’t need special tags on your products. The visual search runs through the same catalog you already sync.
-
What happens if the AI says something wrong?
-
Every reply comes from your synced products and pages, never from training data. When the chatbot isn’t sure, it says so and offers to hand off to your team. You can review every conversation in the dashboard and low-rated ones are flagged automatically.
-
Where do the answers come from?
-
Every reply comes from your synced store content: products, shipping page, return policy, FAQ pages. The chatbot answers from what you’ve synced, never from general training data.
-
How much does it cost?
-
The plugin is free. Emporiqa is Pay-as-you-go: $0.25 per conversation, with a $25 signup credit (~100 free conversations) auto-applied when you create your account. No credit card required at signup, no trial deadline, and the credit doesn’t expire while your store is active. Spend is capped at $59/month by default and you can raise or lower the cap any time.
