AddSynapse – AI Website & Store Assistant For WooCommerce Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
AddSynapse – AI Website & Store Assistant for WooCommerce adds an AI chat to wp-admin (AddSynapse Store Assistant) where
shop managers ask, in plain words and in their own language, about their store and for product changes they would
otherwise click through screen by screen: “which products are out of stock?”, “what were my best sellers last month?”,
“put the Linen Shirt on sale at 29.90 until Sunday”, “set this photo as the main image of the blue mug”, “write a better
SEO title for the Linen Shirt”.
Free with your own AI key. Paste an Anthropic (Claude) or OpenAI API key in Settings (or in the chat’s first
screen) and every feature of the plugin works, with no account and no plan. It edits one product at a time. You pay
your AI provider
directly for what you use; the Settings screen shows an estimate of your usage and cost. The key is stored encrypted on
your site (or in wp-config.php) and is never sent to the browser or to AddSynapse.
No account is needed. After your key works, the plugin offers once to create a free AddSynapse account, to be told first
when Store Assistant Pro launches — optional, nothing is locked without it, and nothing is sent unless you click
Create account.
Everything that runs on your site also works before you add a key: slash commands (for example /report low_stock or
/price id=123 -10%), the previews, Approve, Undo and voice input.
What it can do
- Find and report, across the whole store: search products (by name, SKU, category, tag, brand, attribute, price,
stock), low stock, out of stock, missing images/descriptions/prices, best sellers, sales by day/week/month, recent
orders, top customers (as references only — no names or emails leave your site), the store’s structure, menus and
pages. - Change one product at a time: price and sale price with dates, stock, its existing categories, tags and brand,
its name, short description and description, its main image and gallery (also from an image you drop or paste into
the chat), and its SEO title, meta description and focus keyword (Rank Math, Yoast). - Read the site (also without WooCommerce): menus, pages (Gutenberg and Elementor), the media library and the SEO of
pages and posts.
Each change covers one product. When you ask for many at once, the assistant says so and offers to do one now.
Coming soon: Store Assistant Pro
AddSynapse is preparing Store Assistant Pro, a separate add-on for work beyond single products — for example bulk
changes by category or brand, CSV imports, managing categories, tags and brands, attributes and variations, coupons and
orders, the site’s appearance (menus, pages, sections, posts), content writing and a full change history. It is not
released yet, it is not included in this plugin and this plugin does not check for it: everything described above is
complete and free.
Every change is a preview a person approves
The assistant only reads data and prepares drafts. Nothing on your site changes until a logged-in user with the right
permissions clicks Approve on the preview here in wp-admin, and every approved change can be undone (Undo) as
long as nothing else changed the same data since. The assistant never creates, edits or deletes user accounts, never
changes passwords and never runs code or SQL: it can only ask the plugin for a fixed set of checked operations.
How it works
The chat, the tools and your data stay in WordPress. Your AI provider decides which tool to use next and writes the
answers; the tools themselves run on your server, during the chat request of the logged-in user and with that user’s
permissions.
Nothing can start anything on your site from outside. The plugin has no job queue, no background polling and no
“wake-up” or remote-command endpoint: the AI only answers the chat requests that a logged-in user sends from wp-admin,
and every change is applied only when a logged-in user approves its preview here in wp-admin.
The AI runs on an external service
The AI is not part of the plugin: your server calls your AI provider’s API directly (api.anthropic.com or
api.openai.com) with your key. For a question to the AI the plugin sends the text of your chat message and the store
and site data the AI needs to answer it (the results of the tools it used: products, categories, pages, menus, SEO and
order data — customers only as anonymous references), plus a summary of your site structure, and an image you attach
to that message (a reduced copy; it can be turned off in Settings). Nothing is sent before an administrator saves a
key, and slash commands are never sent. The exact list of calls is in External services
below.
AddSynapse is operated by WebOrange (Ioannis Sakkoulas).
External services
The AI of the assistant is an external service: your own AI provider (sections 1 and 2). Slash commands, previews,
Approve and Undo run on your site and need no service. Nothing is sent anywhere until an administrator clicks “Save
and test” in AddSynapse Store Assistant Settings, next to a text that lists what is sent. Before that, the plugin
makes no outgoing requests and schedules no recurring background tasks (only local one-off work that you start
yourself: applying a large approved change, or removing an image you uploaded in the chat and never used). The plugin
contacts AddSynapse only if an administrator creates an AddSynapse account from the plugin (section 4).
1. Anthropic API — api.anthropic.com (only with your own Anthropic key)
Used to answer in the chat with your key, called by your server (never by the browser), only while a logged-in user
chats. Save and test sends one tiny test message with no site data. Then, for each question to the AI (slash
commands are never sent): one small call that picks the tools the question needs and a title for the conversation (it
gets the message, the previous answer and the number of ticked products), and the main calls with the message and the
conversation, the instructions of the assistant and the list of its tools, a summary of your site structure (active
plugins, theme, taxonomies and attributes, currency, time zone, menu locations), the admin and site language, the ids
of ticked products, and an image you attach in the chat: its name, size and type and the image itself, reduced to at
most 1,024 pixels (on by default; a manager can turn it off in Settings “The AI sees the images you upload”, then only
the name, size and type are sent; images are sent only with the message they are attached to), and
the results of the tools the assistant used (product, category, page, menu, SEO and order
data — customers only as anonymous references, never names, emails, phone numbers or addresses). Your key is sent in
the request header.

2. OpenAI API — api.openai.com (only with your own OpenAI key)
The same data as in section 1, sent the same way and at the same moments, with store: false (OpenAI is asked not to
keep the responses).

3. Browser speech recognition — voice input (optional, off by default)
Only if a manager turns on Voice input in Settings. The plugin sends nothing for this feature: it asks the
manager’s browser to recognize speech (the browser’s Web Speech API) after the microphone button is pressed.
Depending on the browser, the audio may be sent to the browser vendor for recognition (Chrome: Google, Edge:
Microsoft, Safari: Apple or on the device), under the vendor’s own terms:

- Microsoft privacy statement: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/privacy/privacystatement
- Apple privacy policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
4. AddSynapse — api.addsynapse.com (only if you create an account from the plugin)
Optional. After “Save and test” succeeds, the plugin’s own screens show a card “Create a free AddSynapse account”
(with “Not now”; it comes back at most once, 30 days later), to be told first when Store Assistant Pro launches; the
first “coming in Store Assistant Pro” reply of a chat conversation has a small “Get notified” link to the same form.
Nothing is sent unless an administrator clicks Create account. Then, once: the email in the card (prefilled with the site’s admin email, editable), the shop’s
address (home URL), whether the “Send me news and offers” box was ticked (unticked by default; news are emailed only
after you confirm a link AddSynapse sends) and the version of the consent text. AddSynapse creates the account and
returns a site key (stored encrypted). Your AI key, chats and store data are never
sent.
With an account, at most once a day and only while a user opens the plugin’s own screens, the plugin asks AddSynapse
for short announcements (text and at most one link, shown only on the plugin’s screens, dismissible, no images or
tracking). It sends the site key, the plugin version and the site language. “Disconnect this site” in Settings (or
deleting the plugin) stops this.
