## Description

**Nimavo Chat** adds the Nimavo live chat widget to your WordPress site. Connect
your site with a Site Key from your Nimavo dashboard and start chatting with visitors
in minutes.

This plugin is a **free connector**. The chat service runs on [Nimavo](https://nimavo.ir).
You need a Nimavo account to use the widget.

#### Features

 * Live chat widget embedded on every public page
 * Working hours and offline message support (configured in Nimavo)
 * SMS follow-up links for returning conversations (Nimavo service)
 * Per-site widget appearance overrides (color, shape, icon, animation, position)
 * Optional WooCommerce integration: identify logged-in customers and show order
   stats to operators (with Secret Key)

#### WooCommerce (optional)

If WooCommerce is active and you add a **Secret Key** from Nimavo, logged-in customers
can be identified securely in chat. Operators may see order count and total spent
alongside the conversation.

### External services

This plugin connects to **Nimavo** ([https://nimavo.ir](https://nimavo.ir)) to provide
live chat functionality.

**What is sent and when:**

 * **Site Key** — included in the widget script tag on public pages so the widget
   loads for your site.
 * **Widget script** — browsers load `https://nimavo.ir/widget/v1.js` and communicate
   with `https://nimavo.ir/api/widget`.
 * **Visitor chat data** — messages and session data submitted through the widget
   are processed by Nimavo (subject to Nimavo terms and privacy policy).
 * **Logged-in user context (optional)** — when a Secret Key is saved and a user
   is logged in, the plugin outputs a JSON block with: user ID, HMAC user hash, 
   display name, email, phone (from user meta / WooCommerce billing), platform label,
   order count, and total spent. This helps operators recognize customers in chat.

**Links:**

 * Service: [https://nimavo.ir](https://nimavo.ir)
 * Terms / privacy: see [https://nimavo.ir](https://nimavo.ir) for current policies.

No data is sent to Nimavo until you configure a Site Key and publish pages with 
the widget.

    the plugin ZIP via **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**.

 3. Copy your **Site Key (Public Key)** from Nimavo  Sites  Install widget.

## FAQ

### Do I need a Nimavo account?

Yes. This plugin connects your WordPress site to the Nimavo chat service. Create
a free account at [nimavo.ir](https://nimavo.ir).

### Is WooCommerce required?

No. The widget works on any WordPress site. WooCommerce features apply only when
WooCommerce is installed and a Secret Key is configured.

### What is the Secret Key for?

The Secret Key signs a secure context payload for logged-in users (HMAC). Without
it, visitors can still chat anonymously; logged-in users are not automatically identified.

### Where is widget appearance configured?

Default appearance comes from your Nimavo dashboard. Settings under **Settings  
Nimavo** override appearance for this WordPress site only.

### Does this plugin store chat messages in WordPress?

No. Messages and conversations are stored on Nimavo servers, not in your WordPress
database.
