ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity are recommending and selling products inside conversations. Stores that are optimised for AI discovery get found. Stores that aren't, don't.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Blaze AI Discovery for WooCommerce<\/strong> helps independent store owners stay visible in the age of AI commerce \u2014 without giving up the control and ownership that made them choose WooCommerce in the first place.<\/p>\n\n<h4>What it does<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Track AI Traffic You Didn't Know You Had<\/strong>\nMost AI-referred visits hide in your analytics as \"Direct\" traffic. Our tracking detects visits from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Copilot, Claude, and Gemini using referrer headers, UTM parameters, and URL text fragments \u2014 then traces them all the way through to orders and revenue.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Score Every Product for AI Readiness<\/strong>\nEach product gets a 0\u2013100 score based on 10 criteria that AI agents use to decide whether to recommend it: title quality, description depth, images, brand, category, attributes, price, identifiers (SKU\/GTIN), reviews, and shipping\/returns policies. Actionable recommendations tell you exactly what to fix.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Enhance Schema.org Markup Automatically<\/strong>\nAugments your existing schema (works alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or standalone) with the additional Product properties that AI agents look for: brand, multiple images, GTIN, dimensions, color, material, itemCondition, shipping details, and return policies.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Generate a ChatGPT Merchant Feed<\/strong>\nCreates a product feed file compatible with OpenAI's merchant specification. Validates every product against requirements and walks you through the submission process at chatgpt.com\/merchants.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Serve an llms.txt File<\/strong>\nAutomatically generates and serves an llms.txt file at your site root, helping AI crawlers understand your store's structure, categories, and key pages.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Audit Your Store's AI Readiness<\/strong>\nTen-point diagnostic checks everything that affects AI discoverability: SSL, REST API, existing schema, product data quality, site speed, robots.txt AI crawler rules, Google for WooCommerce status, and more.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Key Features<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>AI traffic attribution dashboard with platform breakdown and revenue tracking<\/li>\n<li>Per-product AI readiness scoring with actionable fix recommendations<\/li>\n<li>Enhanced Schema.org\/JSON-LD that augments Yoast SEO or Rank Math (never duplicates)<\/li>\n<li>ChatGPT merchant product feed generator with validation<\/li>\n<li>Google Merchant Center data quality audit<\/li>\n<li>Automatic llms.txt generation<\/li>\n<li>Store readiness audit with 10 diagnostic checks<\/li>\n<li>Order attribution \u2014 traces AI-referred visits through to WooCommerce orders<\/li>\n<li>Zero-config \u2014 starts tracking the moment you activate<\/li>\n<li>Works on cached sites (Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, Cloudways, shared hosting)<\/li>\n<li>Optional cloud checks \u2014 off by default, one click to enable<\/li>\n<li>GDPR-friendly \u2014 no PII stored, only irreversible visitor hashes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>How It Works With Caching<\/h4>\n\n<p>Unlike server-side-only tracking that fails on cached pages, our tracker uses the same proven architecture as Independent Analytics: a lightweight inline script (delay-loaded via requestIdleCallback for zero performance impact) that sends data to a local REST endpoint. Works perfectly with full-page caching, edge caching, and CDNs.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External Services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin can connect to Blaze Commerce cloud services. These connections are <strong>off by default<\/strong> and only run after you click \"Enable cloud checks\" in the plugin (WP admin \u2192 AI Discovery \u2192 Store Audit). You can turn them off again at any time from the same screen.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Blaze Commerce cloud services<\/strong> (<code>*.blz.au<\/code>), operated by Blaze Commerce (<a href=\"https:\/\/blazecommerce.io\">https:\/\/blazecommerce.io<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blazecommerce.io\/privacy\">privacy policy<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>PageSpeed check \u2014 Sends your store's public homepage URL to <code>https:\/\/pagespeed.blz.au\/webhook\/ps<\/code>, which calls Google PageSpeed Insights (<a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/terms\">terms<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\">privacy<\/a>) and returns Lighthouse scores. Runs when the store audit runs.<\/li>\n<li>Data sent: your store's public homepage URL only. No customer, order, product or user data.<\/li>\n<li>Data retained: the proxy stores nothing. The returned score is saved in your own WordPress database as part of the audit results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>All other features \u2014 attribution, scoring, schema, feed generation, llms.txt, the remaining audit checks \u2014 run entirely on your server. If cloud checks are off, no request leaves your site.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin files to <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/blaze-ai-discovery-for-woocommerce\/<\/code> or install directly through the WordPress plugin screen.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.<\/li>\n<li>Visit <strong>AI Discovery<\/strong> in your WordPress admin sidebar \u2014 the dashboard starts showing data immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>No configuration required. AI traffic tracking begins on activation. Product scoring and store audit run automatically.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"does%20this%20slow%20down%20my%20site%3F\"><h3>Does this slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. The tracking script is delay-loaded using requestIdleCallback (runs only when the browser is idle) and only fires a network request when an AI referral is detected \u2014 which is less than 1% of visits. Schema injection adds under 5ms to page render. Heavy operations like batch scoring run in the background via Action Scheduler.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20it%20work%20with%20yoast%20seo%20or%20rank%20math%3F\"><h3>Does it work with Yoast SEO or Rank Math?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. The plugin detects which SEO plugin you're using and augments its schema output using the plugin's own filter hooks. It never creates duplicate schema blocks. Tested with Yoast SEO, Yoast WooCommerce SEO, and Rank Math.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"what%20ai%20platforms%20can%20it%20detect%3F\"><h3>What AI platforms can it detect?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>ChatGPT (via UTM parameters and referrer), Perplexity (referrer), Google AI Mode\/Overviews (URL text fragments), Microsoft Copilot (referrer), Claude (referrer), Gemini (referrer), and Grok (referrer). It also detects AI bot crawlers like GPTBot, PerplexityBot, and ClaudeBot via user-agent matching.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20it%20track%20ai%20traffic%20to%20specific%20orders%3F\"><h3>Can it track AI traffic to specific orders?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. When a visitor arrives from an AI platform, the plugin sets a first-party cookie. When that visitor completes checkout, the order is tagged with the AI source. The dashboard shows AI-attributed orders and revenue.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"why%20does%20the%20dashboard%20say%20%22your%20actual%20ai%20traffic%20may%20be%20higher%22%3F\"><h3>Why does the dashboard say \"your actual AI traffic may be higher\"?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Industry benchmarks show approximately 70% of AI-referred traffic arrives without identifiable headers (especially from mobile apps). We detect what we can via referrer headers, UTM parameters, and text fragments, but some AI traffic is fundamentally undetectable with current technology. We believe in being transparent about this.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"what%20is%20llms.txt%3F\"><h3>What is llms.txt?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>llms.txt is an emerging standard (similar to robots.txt) that helps AI crawlers understand your website. It lists your store name, description, product categories, and key pages in a structured text format served at \/llms.txt.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20you%20push%20the%20feed%20to%20openai%20for%20me%3F\"><h3>Can you push the feed to OpenAI for me?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Not yet. The plugin generates the CSV; you upload it to the SFTP endpoint OpenAI provides once your merchant application is approved. If you are in the merchant programme and want automatic delivery, post on the support forum and we will work with you.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20it%20work%20on%20cached%20sites%3F\"><h3>Does it work on cached sites?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. The tracking uses client-side JavaScript (like Google Analytics) that works regardless of server-side page caching. Tested on Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, Cloudways, and shared hosting.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"where%20is%20the%20data%20stored%3F\"><h3>Where is the data stored?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>All data is stored locally in your WordPress database. Optional cloud checks send only your store URL, and only after you enable them.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>1.0.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>ChatGPT feed now follows the current OpenAI product feed spec: CSV output, item_id, url, target_countries, store_country, is_eligible_search, is_eligible_checkout, variant fields, is_digital, gtin\/mpn<\/li>\n<li>Feed validator updated to the new required fields<\/li>\n<li>AI crawler detection updated for 2026 user agents (OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, Perplexity-User, Meta, Amazon, CCBot, Bytespider) with training\/retrieval classification<\/li>\n<li>Cloud checks (PageSpeed) are now opt-in with a one-click consent screen; readme disclosure corrected<\/li>\n<li>Added blazeaid_bot_user_agents, blazeaid_bot_classes and blazeaid_feed_entry filters<\/li>\n<li>Build now ships a Composer-generated autoloader<\/li>\n<li>Feed falls back to the store name when a product has no brand (filter: blazeaid_feed_default_brand)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Initial release<\/li>\n<li>AI traffic attribution dashboard with multi-platform detection<\/li>\n<li>Product AI readiness scoring with 10 criteria<\/li>\n<li>Schema.org enhancement compatible with Yoast SEO and Rank Math<\/li>\n<li>ChatGPT merchant feed generator with validation<\/li>\n<li>Google Merchant Center data quality audit<\/li>\n<li>llms.txt auto-generation<\/li>\n<li>Store readiness audit with 10 diagnostic checks<\/li>\n<li>Order attribution through WooCommerce checkout<\/li>\n<li>Bot crawler detection and logging<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Make your WooCommerce store visible to AI shopping agents like ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, and Copilot.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/358794","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=358794"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/blazecommerce"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=358794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=358794"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=358794"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=358794"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=358794"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=358794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
