External Services

This plugin connects your WordPress site to the Zanderio external service
(zanderio.ai). Two endpoints are used:

api.zanderio.ai (REST API)

Used server-side by the plugin (PHP) and client-side by the chat widget (JS).

Server-side (PHP):

• On activation — sends your store URL, site name, admin email, WordPress
  version, WooCommerce version, and plugin version to register the store.
• Webhooks — WooCommerce product and order data is pushed via webhooks so
  the AI agent can answer customer questions accurately.
• Daily heartbeat — a lightweight ping confirming the store is still active.
• On deactivation / uninstall — notifies Zanderio to disconnect the store
  and delete associated data.

Client-side (widget.js):

• Chat conversations — visitor messages typed into the chat widget are sent
  over HTTPS to the REST API for AI processing. No personally identifiable
  visitor data is stored by the plugin itself.

ws.zanderio.ai (WebSocket)

Used client-side by the chat widget (JS) to provide real-time, streaming
responses from the AI agent. The WebSocket connection is opened when a visitor
starts a chat conversation and transmits the same conversation data as the
REST API above.
