ARLing Shopping Assistant for WooCommerce

Plugin page with setup guide and pricing: https://arling.sk/asistent/woocommerce/

ARLing Shopping Assistant adds an AI-powered chat widget to your WooCommerce store. Shoppers ask questions in their own words (“do you have a waterproof jacket under 80 euros?”) and the assistant answers using only your own product catalogue, with links to the matching products.

Setup takes a few minutes: connect your store from the WooCommerce menu, and ARLing Shopping Assistant reads your public WooCommerce Store API product feed to build the assistant’s knowledge. No coding, no manual product upload, no theme changes.

What it does

• Adds a chat bubble to your storefront that answers shopping questions from your product catalogue.
• Understands Slovak, Czech, English and German.
• Refreshes its product knowledge automatically once a day.
• Shows up to three matching products, with price and a link, alongside each answer.
• Does not store conversation content: only anonymous daily counters (number of conversations, number of product clicks) are kept, to enforce the monthly plan quota.
• Nothing loads on your storefront until you explicitly connect your store from the settings page.

External services

This plugin relies on the ARLing Shopping Assistant service to work. Provider: ARLing s. r. o., Bratislava, Slovakia (https://arling.sk).

When you click “Connect” on the settings page (only after ticking the consent checkbox), this plugin sends to the ARLing Shopping Assistant API:

• Your store’s public WooCommerce Store API product feed URL ({your-site}/wp-json/wc/store/v1/products?per_page=100), which is data your store already serves publicly to any visitor’s browser.
• Your site’s domain name.
• The contact e-mail address you enter on that screen.

No customer data and no order data is ever sent. Nothing is sent before you connect.

While connected, the settings page periodically checks your assistant’s setup status by calling the ARLing Shopping Assistant API (GET /v1/tenants/{id}/status), and the front-end widget script is loaded from ARLing’s servers (https://arling-asistent.arling.workers.dev/widget.js, or a self-hosted URL if you use the arling_asistent_widget_endpoint filter) on the pages you configure. When a shopper uses the chat, their question and the assistant’s answer are sent to and processed by this same service to generate a reply; the service does not store that conversation content, only daily aggregate counters used to enforce your plan’s monthly quota.

Upgrading: the “Upgrade” buttons on the settings page link to Stripe Checkout (a payment page hosted by Stripe, https://stripe.com), with your tenant id attached so your plan updates automatically after a successful payment. No payment details ever pass through this plugin or through ARLing’s own servers.

Use of this service is subject to ARLing’s:

• Terms of Service: https://arling.sk/podmienky/
• Privacy Policy: https://arling.sk/gdpr/ and https://arling.sk/privacy/
• Data Processing Agreement (GDPR Art. 28): https://arling.sk/asistent/#gdpr

You can disconnect at any time from the settings page, which immediately stops the widget from loading on your site. Disconnecting does not automatically delete data already held by ARLing; contact andrej@arling.sk or use the Data Processing Agreement contact to request deletion.
