## Description

HoverBot is an AI assistant that answers shoppers’ questions about your products,
shipping and returns from your own store content.

 * Connect in one step: create a HoverBot account from inside WordPress and the 
   chat goes live. The store domain is registered with HoverBot automatically.
 * Already a HoverBot customer? Paste your Chatbot ID and Widget Key instead.
 * Hide the chat on the cart or checkout page if you prefer.
 * Disconnect removes the chat and revokes the plugin’s access in one click.

The plugin adds one script to your storefront footer. It does not change theme files
and reads no order or customer data.

### External services

This plugin connects to HoverBot (https://www.hoverbot.ai), operated by HoverBot.

 * When you click “Create account and connect”, the email, name, password, assistant
   name, chosen template and brand color you enter, plus your store’s domain, are
   sent to app.hoverbot.ai to create your account and chatbot. The password is not
   stored in WordPress.
 * When connected, your store’s domain is sent to app.hoverbot.ai so the chat is
   allowed on it.
 * On every storefront page, visitors’ browsers load the widget from cdn.hoverbot.
   ai and send their chat messages to app.hoverbot.ai.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin zip under Plugins -> Add New -> Upload Plugin, and activate it.
 2. Open WooCommerce -> HoverBot Chat (or Settings -> HoverBot Chat without WooCommerce).
 3. Create your account and connect, or connect an existing chatbot.
 4. Sign in to the HoverBot dashboard and add your store pages and policies as knowledge.

## FAQ

### The chat does not appear

Check that the store domain shown on the settings page is in the chatbot’s Allowed
Domains in HoverBot. If you connected with “Create account and connect”, press “
Register domain again”. Caching plugins may need their cache cleared once.

### Can I test against a non-production HoverBot environment?

Add `define( 'HOVERBOT_CHAT_ENV', 'sandbox' );` to wp-config.php.

   afterwards.

   domain registration.
 * Disconnect revokes the plugin’s access.
 * Hide on cart or checkout.
