The Ultimate AI Shopping Assistant to Boost Woocommerce Sales with Chat, Lists & Photo Search

aiassistantcartshoppingwoocommerce

Description

Add To Cart AI is the AI-powered shopping assistant that helps WooCommerce store owners boost sales and increase conversions through conversational commerce. Instead of browsing through categories and filters, your customers can simply describe what they want, paste a shopping list, or upload a product photo — and the AI assistant finds matching products and adds them to the cart.

Transform your customer shopping experience with:

  • AI Chat: Natural language product discovery
  • Smart Lists: Instant bulk order processing
  • Visual Search: Photo-based product matching

Proven to increase average order value and reduce cart abandonment.

Three Ways to Shop

  • Chat — Customers type natural requests like "I need ingredients for tacos" and the assistant builds their cart.
  • Lists — Shoppers paste any shopping list and the AI matches items from your catalog instantly.
  • Photos — Customers upload a reference image and the assistant finds similar products in your store.

  1. Install the plugin on your WooCommerce store
  2. Create a free account at addtocart.ai and get your API key
  3. Enter your API key in the plugin settings
  4. The shopping assistant appears on your storefront, ready to help customers
