Description
What is Batimo?
Batimo is an AI-powered conversational platform built for businesses that want to stop missing customer messages and start closing more sales — automatically.
At the heart of Batimo is Timo, an AI sales assistant that chats with your customers in real time across multiple channels:
- WhatsApp — Respond to inquiries, qualify leads, and close sales without lifting a finger.
- Instagram — Automate DM conversations and convert followers into customers.
- Website Chat — Embed a smart chatbot widget that engages visitors around the clock.
Timo captures leads, books appointments (with Google Calendar sync), answers product questions, and processes orders — all from a single unified inbox. No technical knowledge needed to get started.
The Batimo AI Plugin for WordPress
This plugin is the official bridge between your WordPress / WooCommerce store and your Batimo account. Once connected, Timo can read your site’s content, search your product catalog, and even generate pre-filled checkout links — turning conversations into completed orders.
Key capabilities:
- One-click connection — Paste your Batimo token and your site is linked instantly.
- Webchat widget — Automatically embed Timo’s chat widget in your site footer.
- AI Tools (MCP) — Give Timo direct access to your WordPress content and WooCommerce store through secure, authenticated REST endpoints.
- Per-tool control — Enable or disable each AI tool individually from the admin panel.
- Signed checkout links — Timo can generate HMAC-secured, pre-filled checkout URLs and share them with customers inside the chat.
- WooCommerce integration — Product search, order creation, shipping info, payment methods, and more.
- Built-in debug log — A log viewer in the admin panel makes troubleshooting easy.

Third-Party Service
This plugin connects to the Batimo API (api.batimo.ai) to:
- Authenticate and register your WordPress site with your Batimo account.
- Fetch the webchat embed script for your selected channel.
- Expose AI tools that allow your Timo assistant to query your site content and WooCommerce data.
No data is ever sent to Batimo unless you explicitly connect your site using your token. All communication is secured with Bearer token authentication stored in your WordPress database.

FAQ
-
Do I need a Batimo account?
-
Yes. A free Batimo account is required. Sign up at console.batimo.ai — no credit card needed for the free trial.
-
Does this plugin require WooCommerce?
-
No. The webchat widget and WordPress AI tools (posts, pages, site info) work without WooCommerce. WooCommerce is only required to use the e-commerce tools (products, orders, checkout links).
-
Is the connection secure?
-
Yes. The plugin generates a unique, cryptographically secure API key that is stored in your WordPress database. All REST endpoints require Bearer token authentication, and checkout links use HMAC-SHA256 signatures with expiry timestamps to prevent tampering.
-
What data does Batimo access?
-
Only the data you explicitly enable through AI Tools settings. Each tool is individually controlled — if you don’t enable
get_products, Timo cannot access your products. No data is ever sent passively or without your action. -
Does this plugin affect my site’s performance?
-
No. The plugin is lightweight. Admin assets only load on the Batimo settings page. The webchat script is fetched from Batimo once and cached via WordPress transients, so it does not make an external request on every page load.
-
Which WordPress versions are supported?
-
WordPress 5.8 or higher. Tested up to WordPress 6.9. Requires PHP 7.4 or higher.
-
Can I use this plugin without the webchat widget?
-
Yes. The webchat widget is optional. You can connect your site purely to enable AI tools for a WhatsApp or Instagram channel, without embedding anything on your site.
