Give your WooCommerce store a 24/7 AI shopping assistant — product search, order tracking, and cart recovery in one chat widget.

== Description ==

Gehalfe adds an AI-powered chat widget to your WooCommerce store that answers customer questions about your products, checks order status, and recovers abandoned carts — all without you lifting a finger.

**Features**

* AI product search — customers describe what they want in plain language and get matching products from your catalog
* Order tracking — customers can check their order status directly in the chat
* Cart recovery — automatic follow-up messages for abandoned carts (available on paid plans)
* Works in English, Urdu, and Roman Urdu
* Customizable widget color and position
* Lightweight embed — no impact on your store's page speed

**How it works**

1. Install and activate this plugin
2. Create a free account at [gehalfe.com](https://gehalfe.com) and connect your WooCommerce store
3. Copy your Widget Token from the Gehalfe dashboard and paste it into this plugin's settings
4. The chat widget appears on your storefront automatically

This plugin requires a Gehalfe account (gehalfe.com) to function — it is the connector between your WordPress site and the Gehalfe AI backend that powers the chat, product search, and order tracking. A free plan is available.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `gehalfe-ai-chatbot` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install directly through the WordPress admin under Plugins → Add New.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Go to Settings → Gehalfe AI Chatbot.
4. Sign up for a free account at gehalfe.com if you don't have one, connect your store, and copy your Widget Token from Store → Widget → Embed Code.
5. Paste the Widget Token into the plugin settings and save. The chat widget will appear on your storefront.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need a Gehalfe account to use this plugin? =

Yes. This plugin embeds the Gehalfe chat widget, which is powered by a backend service at gehalfe.com. A free plan is available and no credit card is required to start.

= Does this work with any theme? =

Yes, the widget is a self-contained floating chat button that works independently of your theme.

= Will this slow down my site? =

No. The widget script loads asynchronously after your page content and does not block page rendering.

= Is customer data secure? =

Store connection credentials are encrypted, and chat data is handled per the Gehalfe Privacy Policy at gehalfe.com/privacy.
