No plugin to maintain
WordPress plugin updates are a known headache. Zupport.chat ships as a CDN script — we update embed.js on our end and you get the fix instantly with no plugin install.
Every WooCommerce chat plugin adds another auto-update concern, another monthly fee, another vendor in your stack. Zupport.chat is a single snippet you paste into your theme footer — no plugin to maintain, no API key to rotate, no recurring bill.

Most WooCommerce chat plugins route inbound to vendor servers (OpenAI, vendor inference). Zupport.chat runs the LLM on the visitor's device — zero data leaves their browser.
GDPR-compliant by architecture: no message goes to a third-party server, so there's no data processing agreement to sign with us.
Sourced from each company's published pricing page. Your numbers will vary; the ratio won't.

| 12-month cost | $79 | ~$240+ |
Paste the snippet into your theme's footer.php (or use a “Custom HTML” widget in a footer widget area). It loads on every page including product, cart, and shop archives.
No. It's a plain <script> tag. If you prefer, use a code-insert plugin like WPCode to manage the snippet without touching theme files.
Not directly via the WooCommerce REST API. Upload product information as a PDF export, Markdown file, or by adding your shop's URL as a website source (it'll crawl visible product content).
The widget uses multilingual embeddings, so it handles non-English visitor questions reasonably. For a multi-language store, author scenarios per language and let the AI use translated knowledge sources.
No conflict. Zupport.chat runs entirely client-side; it doesn't cache server responses.
$79 once. Paste a snippet. No plugin install, no monthly fee.
