About the Extension
Turn questions into sales – without sending customers to your support inbox.
The AI Chatbot & Product Advisor adds a modern shop assistant to your Shopware 6 storefront. It answers questions about products, shipping, payment, returns and contact, finds matching products and leads undecided visitors to the right item with a guided product advisor.
Chat and product advisor in one widget
Visitors can simply write what they are looking for, in everyday language and even with typos ("badeshots in blou", "cheap beach bag"), or use the guided advisor. The advisor builds its questions from the categories, properties, brands and prices that exist in your shop and ends with matching products and a short recommendation.
Fast, affordable and flexible
Choose how your assistant answers:
• Hybrid (recommended): simple questions are answered locally in milliseconds, complex ones by the AI.
• AI: every question is answered by your OpenAI model, with streaming.
• Local: no API key needed. The assistant answers from your shop data only.
Rate limits, a daily limit, a monthly budget and a usage overview with estimated costs prevent surprises.
Knows your shop and your data
• Products, categories, shipping and payment methods, CMS pages and SEO URLs
• Uploaded documents such as manuals, FAQs and data sheets
• Your own FAQ pairs and synonyms
• Your own tables, REST endpoints and entities of other plugins, for example bundle or warranty assignments
Helpful after login
Logged-in customers can ask for the status of their orders and see their account data. The assistant only ever accesses the data of the customer who is logged in. You can switch this off per sales channel.
Statistics at a glance
The new statistics page in the administration shows messages, sessions, answer rate, unanswered questions, response times, AI costs with a monthly forecast, answer sources, topics, product clicks and the advisor funnel. Filter by period, sales channel, source, outcome, topic, language and customer, compare with the previous period and export everything as CSV.
Privacy
No IP addresses and no customer data are stored in the statistics. Question texts are only saved if you enable it, and old entries are deleted automatically. Without an API key, no data leaves your server. When you use the AI, data is processed by your chosen provider (OpenAI by default). Please include this in your privacy policy.
Requirements: An OpenAI API key is optional.
