The plugin itself is free and open source.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin connects your site to <strong>AI Store Optimiser<\/strong> (storeoptimiser.ai), a service run by the plugin author, which generates the AI copy. It is required for the plugin to do anything useful.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin itself does not send anything on its own. Instead, it adds a set of REST API endpoints to your site (under <code>\/wp-json\/aiso\/v1\/<\/code>) that only AI Store Optimiser can use, because every request must carry your site's private connection key. Through them, AI Store Optimiser:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>reads your published products, pages and product categories (titles, descriptions, SEO fields, image addresses, SKU and price) when you import them in your dashboard; password-protected items are never included;<\/li>\n<li>reads the SEO fields of an item it is about to update, and the titles and addresses of media library images that have no alt text;<\/li>\n<li>writes back the descriptions, SEO fields, alt text, images and blog posts that you approve or set to publish automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>No customer, order or payment data is read. The data is used only to generate and save your content. An AI Store Optimiser account is needed (there is a free plan).<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Service: https:\/\/storeoptimiser.ai<\/li>\n<li>Terms of service: https:\/\/storeoptimiser.ai\/terms<\/li>\n<li>Privacy policy: https:\/\/storeoptimiser.ai\/privacy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins, then Add New, and search for \"AI Store Optimiser Connector\".
