About this plugin
A shopper asks a product question and the assistant answers with your real catalogue data: an in-stock product card with title, price, and stock status, never an invented fact. Try it live on a real store.
Dukandar AI Shopping Assistant adds an intelligent shopping assistant widget to your WooCommerce store. Customers can ask questions about products, get personalised recommendations, and add items to their cart, all through a natural conversational interface.
Supported AI providers:
- Anthropic Claude: claude-haiku, claude-sonnet, claude-opus
- Moonshot AI (Kimi K2): kimi-k2-thinking-turbo, kimi-k2-thinking, kimi-k2.5, and Moonshot V1 models
What the chatbot can do:
- Search products by name, category, and price range
- Show full product details including stock status, SKU, and available variations
- Help customers pick and add a specific variation (size/colour) of a variable product
- Show ratings and review highlights on product cards (grounded in real reviews)
- Compare products side by side in a mobile-friendly table
- Recommend related products and offer optional cross-sells, respecting a stated budget
- Surface best-sellers and browse categories
- Show valid, applicable coupons and apply them to the cart (never invented codes)
- Estimate shipping cost and delivery options for a destination
- Look up order status for the logged-in customer (their own orders only)
- Check wallet/store-credit balance and top up, when a compatible wallet plugin is active
- Remember a logged-in customer’s stated preferences across sessions (opt-in, viewable and clearable)
- Add products to the customer’s cart, view cart contents with totals, and remove items
- Stream responses in real-time (Moonshot provider)
Built for trust: the assistant grounds every product fact in your store’s data (no invented prices, stock, reviews, or codes), respects stated budgets, never uses fake scarcity or pressure, discloses upsells as optional, and always points customers to human support when needed. Personal data (orders, wallet, saved preferences) is restricted to the logged-in owner.
For developers: other plugins can register their own assistant tools via the fahad_ai_register_tools filter, no core changes required.
Requirements:
- WooCommerce 7.0 or later

External services:
This plugin sends data only to the AI provider you configure with an API key. Every provider is opt-in; nothing is sent until you choose and configure one. See the External services section below for full details, including links to each provider’s terms of service and privacy policy.
External services
This plugin connects to external AI APIs to generate chat responses and (optionally) product embeddings. Every provider is opt-in, no data leaves your server until you choose a provider and enter an API key in Settings.
What data is sent: the shopper’s messages, the assistant’s prior replies (conversation history), and the results of tool calls (product titles, descriptions, cart contents, order status for the logged-in customer). No raw customer account data is sent unless the shopper types it into the chat.
When data is sent: only when a shopper submits a message to the chat widget, or (for semantic search) when the store owner triggers an embedding build or a product is saved.
