Description
Fyndle replaces the standard search of your WooCommerce shop with a fast, smart search. Shoppers see products with images and prices while they type, find the right product even with a typo or a different word, and can ask a question in plain language.
Connecting takes one click: sign in to Fyndle (or create a free account), approve read-only access in WooCommerce, done. No API keys to copy and no code to paste.
What your shoppers get
- Results with images and prices while they type
- Typo tolerance and synonyms, so fewer searches end without results
- AI search: shoppers may ask a question, such as “warm boots for winter”
- A product finder quiz and an AI shopping assistant that help shoppers choose
- Similar products on every result card
- Voice search (Dutch, English and German)
What you get
- Search rules: pin, boost or hide products for a search term, synonyms and redirects
- Analytics: what your shoppers search for, and which searches find nothing
- Colours, fonts and texts in your own style
- A dashboard in English, Dutch, German and French
- All your shops in one Fyndle account
Fyndle is a hosted service (software as a service) by MoventiQ B.V. in the Netherlands. The plugin connects your shop to your Fyndle account and loads the Fyndle search widget. A Fyndle account is required; there is a free plan, and new accounts can try Pro for free for 30 days. Plans and prices: https://fyndle.nl/en/#pricing
External services
This plugin connects your shop to Fyndle (https://fyndle.nl), a hosted search service run by MoventiQ B.V. It is needed for the plugin to work. Nothing is sent before you connect your shop or switch on the search.
- Connecting your shop. When you click “Connect with Fyndle”, your browser goes to app.fyndle.nl with your shop’s address and the address of this plugin’s settings page. After you approve access on WooCommerce’s own screen, WooCommerce sends a read-only REST API key for your shop to Fyndle (search.api.fyndle.nl). Fyndle uses it only to read your published products. You can revoke the key at any time under WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API.
- Connection status. The plugin’s settings page asks search.api.fyndle.nl whether your shop is connected. Only your shop’s domain name is sent.
- The search widget. Once connected, the plugin loads the Fyndle widget from cdn.fyndle.nl on your shop. When a shopper uses the search, the search terms, clicks on results and technical data needed to answer the request (such as the page address and browser type) are sent to search.api.fyndle.nl. The widget sets no cookies; it keeps a random session id in the browser tab’s session storage, which is removed when the tab is closed.

FAQ
-
Do I need a Fyndle account?
-
Yes. You can create one during the connect step. There is a free plan, and new accounts can try Pro for free for 30 days.
-
I have several shops.
-
Connect each shop with the same Fyndle account. All your shops then stay together in one account and one dashboard.
-
Can Fyndle change my products or orders?
-
No. Fyndle asks WooCommerce for read-only access and only reads your published products.
-
Connecting does not work.
-
Some security plugins or firewalls block WooCommerce’s REST API. Allow REST API access for /wp-json/wc/v3/, or connect your shop with a REST API key you create yourself in the Fyndle dashboard (Add website > WooCommerce > enter it by hand). See https://fyndle.nl/en/docs/woocommerce
-
How do I change colours, texts or search results?
-
In the Fyndle dashboard at https://app.fyndle.nl. Changes apply to your shop right away; nothing needs to change in WordPress.
-
How do I disconnect?
-
Untick “Show the Fyndle search on my shop” in the plugin settings, or deactivate the plugin. To remove the shop from Fyndle, delete it in the Fyndle dashboard and revoke the key under WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API.
