Step 1: Install the Plugin#

  1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard
  2. Go to Plugins > Add New in the left sidebar
  3. In the search box, type "Kwiro"
  4. Find Kwiro — AI Sales Agent & Chatbot for WooCommerce and click the Install Now button
  5. Wait a few seconds for the installation to finish, then click Activate

Step 2: Connect Your Account#

After activating the plugin, you will see a new menu item called Kwiro in your WordPress sidebar (under WooCommerce).

  2. 2API key — proves the link between this WordPress install and your Kwiro account. Treat it like a password.
  3. 3Enable Widget — controls whether the chat bubble shows up on your storefront. You can pause it any time without disconnecting.

  1. Click Kwiro under the WooCommerce menu to open the settings page
  2. Click Open Kwiro dashboard — that's where you finish onboarding (or sign up, if you're new)
  3. The dashboard auto-issues an API key and pastes it into your plugin
  4. You'll see a green "Connected" banner once everything is linked

You should see a green success message confirming your store is connected.

Step 3: Let Kwiro Learn Your Products#

After connecting, Kwiro automatically starts reading your product catalog. You will see a progress bar on the settings page showing how many products have been synced.

  • Small stores (under 100 products): Usually done in under a minute
  • Medium stores (100-1,000 products): Takes 2-5 minutes
  • Large stores (1,000+ products): May take 10-15 minutes

You do not need to stay on the page. Kwiro syncs in the background.

Step 4: Check That It's Working#

Once the sync finishes, the status will change to Sync Complete. Open your store's front page in a new tab. You should see a small chat bubble in the bottom-right corner of the page.

Click it, type a question about one of your products, and watch Kwiro respond with a recommendation.

Having Trouble?#

If the plugin does not appear in search results, you can download the ZIP directly from the Kwiro listing on WordPress.org and upload it via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
