What WooCommerce does with Pilot

Pilot is an AI-driven, end-to-end business system, turnkey out of the box: it already includes native CRM, sales, ecommerce, communication, billing, and operations. If you also have WooCommerce, Pilot connects your WordPress store and orchestrates it with AI, without asking you to migrate or rebuild your catalog.

WooCommerce powers more than 25% of the world's ecommerce; the combination of WordPress + free plugin + infinite flexibility makes it the favorite option for SMBs that want full control with no monthly license. Its weakness is the same as every open-source ecommerce platform's: conversational support, proactive after-sales, and restocking operations are left to the team or to loose plugins that rarely integrate with the CRM.

Pilot connects with WooCommerce via its REST API v3 using a Consumer Key + Consumer Secret generated from the WordPress Admin. The integration syncs products, variations, stock, orders, customers, and addresses every 5-10 minutes (real-time via webhook for orders and critical stock changes). It doesn't require installing additional plugins; the REST API comes native with WooCommerce.

Once connected, the AI agent serves customers over WhatsApp, webchat, Instagram DM, and Messenger with real WooCommerce stock, recovers abandoned carts, triggers after-sales when the order is confirmed, notifies the customer when the shipment changes status, and consolidates the entire history in a unified CRM.

What you can do

  • Two-way sync of products, variations, stock, and prices every 5-10 minutes.
  • Sync of orders, customers, and addresses; each order creates the customer in the CRM if they didn't exist.
  • AI agent serves customers over WhatsApp, webchat, Instagram DM, and Messenger with real WooCommerce stock.
  • Abandoned-cart recovery: the AI agent writes to the customer and proposes completing the purchase with a payment link.
  • Automatic customer notifications when an order changes status (processing, completed, shipped).
  • Charge with an integrated payment link (Zelr module) when the customer wants to buy over WhatsApp without going through the web checkout.
  • In-conversation product recommendations based on the real catalog and the customer's history.
  • Restock alert: when stock drops below the threshold you define, Pilot notifies the owner and proposes a purchase order to the supplier.
  • Consolidated reporting: sales by channel, average ticket, most-asked-about products that didn't sell, conversion by support channel.
  • Compatible with WooCommerce 3.5+ and the most common extensions (Subscriptions, Bookings, Memberships).

What about the chat or AI plugins in the WordPress repository?

There are dozens of chat plugins for WooCommerce (Tidio, LiveChat, Crisp) and some AI ones for product descriptions or emails. They solve one layer at a time; the chat lives in a silo, the email plugin in another, and you build after-sales with a third plugin. Pilot operates cross-channel: the same AI agent serves customers on WhatsApp, webchat, Instagram, Messenger, and email with real WooCommerce stock, and everything ends up reflected in a single CRM. Compared with Shopify, WooCommerce wins on flexibility and license cost, and loses on native automation; Pilot fills the AI gap without forcing you to migrate platforms.

Compared with support platforms like Gorgias or Zendesk: a similar focus on conversational support, but Pilot adds cross-tool operation (CRM, calendar, payment link, a real conversational AI agent) without hiring three tools.

How to connect it

  1. In the WordPress Admin, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API. Click Add key.
  2. Set the description (e.g. Pilot Integration), the user (a WordPress admin), and Read/Write permissions.
  3. WooCommerce generates a Consumer Key (ck_) and Consumer Secret (cs_). Copy both.
  4. In Pilot, go to Settings > Integrations > WooCommerce and paste: your store URL (e.g. https://mystore.com), the Consumer Key, and the Consumer Secret.
  5. Pilot runs a connection test and shows you how many products, orders, and customers it detected.
  6. Save, and Pilot starts syncing. A store with 1,000 products and 5,000 historical orders takes 10-30 minutes for the first full load.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with all WooCommerce versions?
Yes, from WooCommerce 3.5 onward (stable REST API v3). For earlier versions there is limited support. We recommend WooCommerce 6+ for performance improvements and compatibility with WordPress 6+.
Do I need to install a plugin?
No. The REST API v3 comes native with WooCommerce. You just generate a Consumer Key + Consumer Secret from the WordPress panel and paste them into Pilot. You don't install anything or touch theme code.
Does it handle variable products (size, color, format)?
Yes. Each variation is an independent product with its SKU, photo, price, and stock. The AI converses with the customer to define the exact variant before building the order. It also handles grouped products and external/affiliate products.
And extensions like WooCommerce Subscriptions or Bookings?
Supported. Subscriptions syncs with Pilot's Subscriptions module: handling renewals, plan changes, churn. Bookings syncs with Pilot's Calendar module: the AI agent can schedule appointments with real availability. Other extensions are mapped case by case (Memberships, Bundles, Composite Products).
And if I have WordPress multisite or several WooCommerce stores?
Each store connects as a separate integration in Pilot. The data stays separate per store, but reports can consolidate it. For WordPress Multisite, we support independent stores per subsite.
Is it safe to paste the Consumer Key + Secret?
Yes. They travel over encrypted channels (TLS) and are stored encrypted at rest. We recommend creating the keys scoped to the Pilot user (not a general admin). You can revoke them from WooCommerce at any time.
