Reztart AI Newsletters for WooCommerce

Description

Stop sending the same blast email to every customer. AutoNewsletterAI is a native WooCommerce plugin that uses GPT-4.1-mini and GPT-5 to write a fresh, individualized newsletter for every single recipient — based on their real order history, country, last-purchased product, total spend and recency. Two customers never see the same message. No merge-tag illusions. No bulk fingerprints that land in spam.

What makes it different

  • Truly individualized. Every email is a fresh AI generation. Not a template with a {first_name} swap.
  • Reads your store directly. Pulls from WooCommerce — customers, orders, products. No external sync, no extra cron jobs, no third-party newsletter platform.
  • HPOS-compatible. Order queries go through wc_get_orders() so they work on both legacy and High-Performance Order Storage.
  • Per-row or bulk batch. Generate one email at a time to fine-tune, or batch-generate 50+ in parallel with live progress polling.
  • Bring your own SMTP. Uses your existing WordPress mail config (or any SMTP plugin like FluentSMTP / WP Mail SMTP). Your sender reputation stays in your hands.
  • Two AI models. GPT-4.1-mini (fast workhorse, on every plan) or GPT-5 (premium reasoning, on paid plans).
  • Same account across platforms. One AutoNewsletterAI login works on WordPress, OpenCart, PrestaShop and Shopify. Plan and quota are shared.

What goes into every email

  • Country and language (auto-detected from billing address)
  • Last purchased product — name, price, category
  • Days since the last order — first-time vs returning customer messaging
  • Total order count and average order value
  • Cross-sell and up-sell hints from your product relations
  • Your style + tone preset (modern / classic / minimal, formal / casual, emoji on/off)
  • Your free-form additional instructions per campaign — e.g. “Mention our Black Friday sale”, “Speak in Italian”, “Keep it under 80 words”

Compatibility

  • WordPress 6.0 — 6.7
  • WooCommerce 6.0 — 10.8 (HPOS supported)
  • PHP 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4
  • Multi-language stores (Polylang / WPML coexistence — recipient language auto-detected from billing country)

Pricing

  • Free tier — 5 generations / month, GPT-4.1-mini. Permanent free, no credit card.
  • Paid plans — from $19/month, up to 10 000 generations/month. All paid tiers also unlock GPT-5. Cancel any time from the in-store Account tab.

External services this plugin uses

This plugin connects to two external services to operate. By installing and activating it, you agree to those services’ terms.

  • AutoNewsletterAI backend at https://api.autonewsai.com — the SaaS service that runs the AI generation, billing, and account management. Sends an HTTPS request per generation containing: the recipient’s name and email, country, order summary fields you pick for the campaign, the products you chose, and your campaign instructions. Terms · Privacy Policy

  • OpenAI (used internally by the AutoNewsletterAI backend) — the language model that writes the email body. You don’t talk to OpenAI directly from your WordPress site; the request flows through our backend. OpenAI policies

  • Stripe (used only when you upgrade) — Stripe Checkout is opened in a new tab; card details never touch your WordPress site or our backend. Stripe terms

FAQ

Do I need an API key from OpenAI?

No. AutoNewsletterAI runs its own backend that handles AI generation. You only need an AutoNewsletterAI account — sign up from the Account tab inside the plugin (free tier available, no credit card).

Can I use this with my existing SMTP plugin (WP Mail SMTP / FluentSMTP / Postmark / SendGrid)?

Yes. The plugin uses WordPress’s native wp_mail() function, which any SMTP plugin can override. Configure your SMTP plugin as usual; AutoNewsletterAI will send through it automatically.

Is it HPOS-compatible?

Yes. The plugin declares custom_order_tables compatibility on activation and all order queries go through wc_get_orders(), so it works on both legacy wp_posts-based orders and the new HPOS tables.

Does the plugin store my customers’ data on your servers?

No. The plugin reads customer + order data from your WooCommerce database at generation time only, sends it to our backend for the single generation request, and discards it server-side after. We retain only the generated email (subject + body) plus the recipient’s email address on YOUR WordPress database — used to populate the Ready / History tabs. The full Privacy Policy: autonewsai.com/privacy

Will my data train an AI model?

No. The backend uses OpenAI’s paid API, where their terms explicitly prohibit training on API customer inputs.

What happens to my data if I deactivate / delete the plugin?

Deactivation: nothing changes. Delete: WordPress runs uninstall.php which drops the plugin’s two database tables ({$wpdb->prefix}autonewsletterai_campaign and _campaign_customer). Export your data first if you want to keep history.

What if a generation fails?

Failed (4xx / 5xx) generations do not count against your monthly quota. The recipient row stays in failed status with the error message visible in the History tab — you can re-click Generate to retry.

Can I customize the email HTML template?

The generated body IS the HTML. The AI writes the full <html>...</html> from scratch per recipient, matching the style/tone you picked. No separate template to maintain.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. 5 generations per month, GPT-4.1-mini model, with no expiration and no credit card required. Permanent — not a 14-day trial.

How do I cancel a paid subscription?

From the Account tab inside WP admin, click Manage subscription opens Stripe’s customer portal in a new tab. Cancel there; your access remains until the end of the paid period.

Can I use the same account on multiple WordPress sites?

Yes. Sign in with the same AutoNewsletterAI account on every site you own. Plan and monthly quota are shared across all sites (and across all four supported platforms — WP, OC, PS, Shopify).

Changelog

1.0.8 (2026-06-01)

  • Send button enables on status='generated' regardless of prior send result — label flips to “Resend” for already-sent rows. (UI was stricter than the backend, which always allowed resend.)
  • Minor copy fixes.

1.0.7

  • API required fields backfilled at the payload layer: offered_products[*].image falls back to wc_placeholder_img_src(), short_description falls back to a single space if empty, website_logo falls back to WC placeholder WP admin logo.

1.0.6

  • Three-step product picker fallback: cross-sells/up-sells recent excluding already-purchased recent without exclusion. Plus diagnostic: error message now includes “Store has N published products total” when picker fails.

1.0.5

  • PayloadBuilder rewritten to match the API contract — now sends style_code / text_tone / offered_products (was sending style / tone / products and getting 422). Plus client_name, website_name/url/logo, purchased_products, color_palette. Validation errors now surface validationDetails in the error message.

1.0.4

  • validate_callback PHP 8 strict-mode fix — is_numeric is 1-arg but WP REST calls validators with 3 args. Replaced with internal isNumericValue wrapper.

1.0.3

  • Plan upgrade locked until email is verified — UI banner + disabled buttons + REST backstop returning 403 email_not_verified.

1.0.2

  • Force /info refresh on the Account tab when the user returns from Stripe Checkout via ?subscribed=1. Same on the Plans tab on every render. Pulsing “Verify email” pill added to the in-plugin navbar when email_verified=false.

1.0.1

  • Plans page now includes a 4-screenshot comparison panel (B2B SaaS sample + B2C e-commerce sample, two models each).

1.0.0

  • Initial public release. Full Phase 1-4 feature set: campaign CRUD, recipient resolution (5 modes), single-row + batch generation, Ready + History + Dashboard pages, Plans catalog with model toggle, Stripe Checkout + billing portal + cancel + resume, defensive Throwable catch on every REST endpoint, demo-build flag.
