Sell more on WooCommerce with an AI chat that speaks first, answers product questions, and turns browsers into buyers.

== Description ==

Most WooCommerce stores lose sales the same quiet way: a shopper lands on a product page, has a question they can't get answered fast, and simply leaves. You never even see the lost sale.

**Selloway fixes that by speaking first.** Instead of a silent chat bubble that waits to be clicked, Selloway greets each visitor with a proactive, product-specific message — then answers their questions in seconds and guides them toward checkout.

= What makes Selloway different =

* **It starts the conversation.** Every product page opens with a friendly first message, so hesitating shoppers get pulled in instead of bouncing.
* **A unique first message for every product.** For each product you can write your own custom greeting — or generate a unique one automatically with AI in one click. No generic "How can I help?" on every page.
* **It actually knows the product.** Answers are built from each product's own name, price, and your key selling points — not a generic FAQ bot that repeats the same lines everywhere.
* **Built to sell, not just support.** Selloway is tuned to answer the "which one is right for me?" and "will this work?" questions that decide a purchase, and to nudge the shopper toward adding to cart.

= Key features =

* Proactive, per-product AI greeting (custom text or AI-generated, unique per product)
* Product-aware answers in ~2 seconds, 24/7
* Per-product key selling points and add-to-cart message
* 80+ languages — auto-detect the visitor's language or fix one
* Tone control (Professional, Friendly, Casual, Luxury)
* Notification bubble that draws attention without being annoying
* Conversation analytics and chat memory across page reloads
* Idle reminders to re-engage visitors about to leave
* Full appearance control (colors, fonts, position, branding) with live preview
* 5-minute setup, no code

= Who it's for =

WooCommerce store owners who want more sales from the traffic they already have — especially stores where shoppers have real questions before buying (supplements, coffee, apparel, electronics, home goods, and more).

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this plugin require WooCommerce? =

Yes. Selloway adds the AI chat to your WooCommerce product pages, so WooCommerce 3.0 or later must be installed and active.

= Do I need to connect a separate API or bring my own AI key? =

No. You do not need an OpenAI key, a separate API, or any technical setup. Just install Selloway, paste your Selloway license key in Settings, and click Connect — the AI works right away. Everything is handled for you.

= What makes Selloway different from other chat plugins? =

Two things. First, Selloway **speaks first** — it greets shoppers proactively instead of waiting to be clicked. Second, every product can have its **own unique first message** (written by you, or generated with AI), and answers come from that product's real details — not a one-size-fits-all script.

= Can I write the first message myself, or let AI do it? =

Both. On each product you can type your own greetings, or click "Generate with AI" to create a unique, on-brand message in one click. You can mix and match across your catalog.

= Where does the AI run? =

On Selloway's secure cloud. The plugin talks only to Selloway and never connects directly to any other third-party service. (Required details are listed in the "External services" section below.)

= Will it slow down my store? =

No. The widget is lightweight and only loads on product pages, so the rest of your store is untouched.

= Can I customize how the chat looks? =

Yes. From Settings you control colors, fonts, position, size, and branding, with a live preview as you edit.

= How do I set up per-product AI responses? =

Edit any product and scroll to the Selloway box. There you add greetings, key selling points, and an add-to-cart message — or generate them with AI.

= What languages are supported? =

80+. Selloway can auto-detect each visitor's language or stick to one you choose.

= Is there a free plan? =

Yes. You can start free and upgrade when you're ready for more conversations and features.

== External services ==

This plugin relies on the Selloway API (https://api.selloway.com), operated by Selloway, to generate the AI chat responses. AI replies cannot be produced locally, so the relevant data must be sent to this service.

What is sent and when:

* When you connect your store (admin action): your license key, site URL, admin email, and plugin/WordPress/WooCommerce versions — to authenticate and register the store.
* When you sync products (admin action): product name, price, description, URL, and the greetings / selling points / add-to-cart message you configure — so the AI can answer about each product.
* When a visitor uses the chat: the visitor's messages, the current product context, and conversation identifiers — to generate and return the AI reply.

No data is sent to any other third party. Service provided by Selloway:

* Terms of Service: https://selloway.com/terms
* Privacy Policy: https://selloway.com/privacy
