Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp Business into sales and better customer support.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Zorachat turns your WordPress content into an AI customer-support assistant that can answer visitor questions, recommend WooCommerce products, capture leads, and keep conversations moving around the clock accross channels.<\/p>\n\n<p>Your Zorachat Inbox brings conversations from your website, Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp Business into one shared workspace, with the same business knowledge guiding your AI assistant across every channel. Your team can monitor chats live, receive conversations escalated by the AI, take over when a customer needs a person, and return the chat to AI when ready.<\/p>\n\n<p>It is more than a chatbot. It is a practical AI-and-human sales and support workflow built directly into WordPress and integrated with Meta.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What Zorachat Helps You Do<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Assist shoppers and answer customers<\/strong> \u2013 Use your business knowledge to respond to questions and guide people toward the right next step.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recommend WooCommerce products<\/strong> \u2013 Match products to what a shopper needs, show product information, and support conversational cart actions on your website.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capture and qualifies leads<\/strong> \u2013 Collects name, email, phone, and intent in the chat, then qualifies them.

Zorachat Cloud lets your assistant and your team handle these sales and support conversations across the connected channels.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Managed AI setup<\/strong> \u2013 Start with Zorachat Cloud Credits without configuring a separate OpenAI, Gemini, or Claude API key.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your assistant on Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp Business<\/strong> \u2013 Extend AI assistance beyond your WordPress website to the accounts you connect and authorize.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One shared inbox for the channels your customers use<\/strong> \u2013 Bring website, Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp Business conversations into a central workspace so your team can see context, coordinate replies and take over when AI needs help.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Human handoff wherever your team works<\/strong> \u2013 Monitor and handle conversations in the Zorachat Live Agent mobile app, with push notifications for timely attention.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A path from conversation to sale<\/strong> \u2013 Combine answers, product guidance, lead capture, and human follow-up across connected channels. If you use WooCommerce, Meta Commerce connections are available through Cloud where supported.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Cloud is optional for the website assistant and Zorachat WordPress Inbox, replies, takeover, Leads, and Analytics. It is required for Meta channel connections and the Cloud team and mobile features.<\/p>\n\n<h3>From Instant Answers to Human Help<\/h3>\n\n<p>Most visitor questions do not need a support agent. Some absolutely do.<\/p>\n\n<p>Zorachat gives you both:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The AI responds instantly<\/strong> using the knowledge you have provided.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The conversation is captured<\/strong> in your WordPress Inbox or Zorachat Live Agent App, you can review what visitors are asking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lead details are collected conversationally<\/strong> when a visitor shows interest or needs follow-up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A human can reply or take over<\/strong> from the wordpress Inbox or Live Agent App, take over when the question requires empathy, judgment, negotiation, or hands-on support.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The conversation can return to AI<\/strong> once the human has finished.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Visitors get speed without losing access to a real person. Your team spends less time repeating routine answers and more time on conversations where people make the difference.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Train the Assistant on What Your Business Knows<\/h3>\n\n<p>Zorachat can use knowledge made available from:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>WordPress pages<\/li>\n<li>WordPress posts<\/li>\n<li>WooCommerce products<\/li>\n<li>PDF documents<\/li>\n<li>Frequently asked questions<\/li>\n<li>Custom knowledge entries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This helps the assistant give responses that are relevant to your products, services, policies, and website instead of relying only on general AI knowledge.<\/p>\n\n<h3>WooCommerce AI Shopping Assistance<\/h3>\n\n<p>When WooCommerce is active, Zorachat can use product information provided by your store to answer product questions and help visitors find suitable items.<\/p>\n\n<p>Use it to support conversations such as:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cWhich product is best for my needs?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWhat is the difference between these options?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cDo you have something within my budget?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWhere can I learn more about this product?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>WooCommerce is optional. Zorachat also works for service businesses, SaaS websites, agencies, schools, membership sites, publishers, and other WordPress websites.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Conversational Lead Capture<\/h3>\n\n<p>Zorachat can collect customer contact and intent naturally when a visitor is interested in a product, needs a quote, or asks for follow-up. Your team can review captured leads with conversation context in the WordPress Leads page, so a follow-up starts with an understanding of what the customer wanted.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Local Inbox and Human Takeover<\/h3>\n\n<p>AI is fast, but it should not trap a customer in automation.<\/p>\n\n<p>Your team can review conversations, reply to visitors, take over from the AI, and use one action to end the takeover and return the chat to AI\u2014all from the WordPress Inbox. The Inbox uses manual refresh and does not require a Zorachat Cloud connection.<\/p>\n\n<p>For teams that need remote access, Zorachat Cloud Services adds real-time mobile live-agent monitoring, push notifications, and centralized access to the same conversations.<\/p>\n\n<p>This creates a smooth support experience: the assistant handles repetitive questions, while your team remains available for sensitive, complex, or high-value conversations.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Image-Aware Conversations<\/h3>\n\n<p>When enabled and supported by the selected service, visitors can share images as part of a conversation. This can provide useful visual context for product questions, support requests, or issue reporting.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Choose How You Power the AI<\/h3>\n\n<h4>Bring your own API key<\/h4>\n\n<p>Use a supported provider with your own API key: OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Anthropic Claude. Your website assistant and the WordPress Inbox, replies, takeover, Leads, and Analytics are available with this setup. Requests are relayed through Zorachat as described under <strong>External Services<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Connect Zorachat Cloud<\/h4>\n\n<p>Use managed AI replies with Zorachat Cloud Credits and no separate provider API key. Cloud enables Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp Business connections, the shared team workspace, and the Live Agent mobile experience with push notifications.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Key Features<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>AI-assisted answers based on knowledge from your WordPress website<\/li>\n<li>WordPress page and post knowledge<\/li>\n<li>PDF knowledge ingestion<\/li>\n<li>Custom knowledge entries and FAQs<\/li>\n<li>WooCommerce product-aware responses<\/li>\n<li>Conversational lead capture<\/li>\n<li>WordPress conversation Inbox with manual refresh<\/li>\n<li>AI assistant escalation, Agent replies, human takeover, and return-to-AI controls<\/li>\n<li>Dedicated Leads and Analytics pages<\/li>\n<li>Conversation and lead records stored in WordPress<\/li>\n<li>Configurable assistant and chat widget<\/li>\n<li>OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic Claude support<\/li>\n<li>Optional managed AI API key through Zorachat Cloud Services<\/li>\n<li>Optional real-time mobile live-agent monitoring, push notifications, and centralized remote access<\/li>\n<li>Optional image-aware conversations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Get Started in Minutes<\/h3>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Install and activate Zorachat.<\/li>\n<li>Open <strong>Zorachat<\/strong> in your WordPress dashboard.<\/li>\n<li>Choose your AI provider or connect to Zorachat Cloud Services.<\/li>\n<li>Add or review the knowledge your assistant can use.<\/li>\n<li>Customize and preview the chat widget.<\/li>\n<li>Launch your assistant and start helping visitors.<\/li>\n<li>Review conversations, leads, and analytics from your WordPress dashboard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h3>Data Storage and Processing<\/h3>\n\n<p>Conversation and lead records created by the plugin are stored in your WordPress database.<\/p>\n\n<p>Storage does not mean local-only processing. To generate a response, the plugin sends the visitor's message and relevant instructions or knowledge context to the AI service selected by the administrator. See <strong>External Services<\/strong> below for full details.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External Services<\/h3>\n\n<p>Zorachat uses external services only for features an administrator enables. All AI requests, including requests made with an administrator-supplied OpenAI, Gemini, or Anthropic API key, are sent first to <code>api.zorachat.ai<\/code> and relayed to the selected provider. Both Zorachat and that provider therefore process the request data. Conversation and lead records remain stored in the site's WordPress database.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Zorachat API relay<\/h4>\n\n<p>This relay is used whenever OpenAI, Gemini, or Anthropic is selected. The plugin sends the selected provider, the provider API credential required to authenticate the request, the visitor's message, assistant instructions, relevant website, knowledge-base, FAQ, or WooCommerce context, and request metadata to <code>api.zorachat.ai<\/code>. Zorachat forwards the credential and request data to the selected provider and returns the generated reply to the site.<\/p>\n\n<p>Purpose: to route the request to the selected provider and return its response.<\/p>\n\n<p>API endpoint: https:\/\/api.zorachat.ai\/\nTerms: https:\/\/wordpress.zorachat.ai\/terms-and-conditions\nPrivacy Policy: https:\/\/wordpress.zorachat.ai\/privacy-policy<\/p>\n\n<h4>Zorachat Cloud Services<\/h4>\n\n<p>Zorachat Cloud Services is Zorachat's optional hosted service for managed AI replies, real-time mobile live-agent monitoring, push notifications, centralized remote access, account management, and Meta channel integration. Conversation and Leads data still resides in your local database despite cloud connection.<\/p>\n\n<p>This service is used only when an administrator chooses to connect to Zorachat Cloud.<\/p>\n\n<p>Service: https:\/\/api.zorachat.ai\/\nTerms: https:\/\/wordpress.zorachat.ai\/terms-and-conditions\nPrivacy Policy: https:\/\/wordpress.zorachat.ai\/privacy-policy<\/p>\n\n<h4>Meta Platform Services<\/h4>\n\n<p>Used only when an administrator opens Zorachat &gt; Meta Integration and chooses to connect WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, or Meta Commerce through Zorachat Cloud.
