About LISA AI Shopping Assistant
From the official readme · v1.7.1Description
LISA (Learning Intelligent Shopping Agent) is an AI-powered shopping assistant that helps your WooCommerce customers find exactly what they’re looking for through natural conversation.
Unlike generic chatbots that follow rigid scripts, LISA understands context, remembers what customers asked earlier in the conversation, and provides personalised product recommendations based on your actual product catalog.
How It Works
- Install the plugin and connect your store with one click, no separate signup needed
- Sync your WooCommerce products with one click
- A chat widget appears on your storefront
- Customers ask questions in natural language and LISA recommends matching products
Key Features
- Natural Language Search — Customers describe what they want in their own words and LISA finds matching products
- Contextual Conversations — LISA remembers the conversation so customers can ask follow-up questions like “do you have that in blue?”
- Product Cards — Visual product recommendations with images, prices, and direct links to product pages
- Smart Recommendations — Uses AI-powered semantic search to understand product descriptions, tags, and attributes
- Customisable Widget — Choose colours, position, welcome message, and assistant name to match your brand
- Lightweight — No impact on page load speed; the widget loads asynchronously
- WooCommerce Native — Syncs directly with your WooCommerce product catalog including prices, images, categories, and tags
Built for Considered Purchases
LISA is built for stores where customers need to get it right, not just find something. She understands the questions that decide a sale: what suits this person, will it work with what they already have, is it safe for their circumstances, which size or strength do they need.
That makes her a natural fit for stores selling:
- Food, supplements, and anything with ingredients or dietary considerations
- Products that vary by size, age, or suitability
- Technical or compatibility-led ranges where the wrong choice means a return
- Specialist categories where customers ask before they buy
- Any catalogue where a good recommendation matters more than a big one
Free Plan
The free version includes 5 conversations per month, enough to try LISA in your store. Upgrade anytime for higher limits. Contact us if you need more trial conversations.
Paid Plans
For higher conversation volumes, paid plans are available at codenamelisa.com. You choose a monthly conversation allowance and pay a flat fee of £0.40 per conversation:
- 100 conversations: £40/month
- 250 conversations: £100/month
- 500 conversations: £200/month
- 750 conversations: £300/month
- 1,000+ conversations: custom pricing for high-volume stores
Cancel anytime.
External Services
This plugin relies on the LISA AI backend service to provide AI-powered shopping assistance. All API requests are sent to the LISA AI backend hosted at api.codenamelisa.com, which is operated by Codename LISA (codenamelisa.com).
During product sync (triggered manually by the store admin):
* Store ID (unique identifier for your store)
* Product titles, descriptions, prices, images, categories, tags, and SKUs
During customer chat (triggered when a customer sends a message via the chat widget):
* Store ID
* The customer’s chat message
* Conversation history (previous messages in the current session, for context)
* Product offset (pagination position for product recommendations)
* Page context (current page URL and product information, if on a product page)
No personal customer information (names, emails, addresses, payment details) is collected or transmitted by this plugin.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a LISA AI account?
LISA AI processes conversations using AI on our servers, so the plugin connects to the LISA AI backend. You do not need to sign up separately or get keys manually. After installing, open the LISA AI menu and click Register & Get Credentials, your API credentials are created and saved automatically. The free plan includes 5 conversations per month at no cost.
What data is sent to your servers?
When a customer uses the chat widget, their message and your product catalog data (titles, descriptions, prices, images, tags) are sent to the LISA AI backend at codenamelisa.com for processing. No personal customer data such as names, emails, or payment information is collected or stored. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Does LISA slow down my site?
No. The chat widget loads asynchronously after the page has finished loading, so it has no impact on your page load speed or Core Web Vitals.
Can I customise the widget appearance?
Yes. You can change the widget colour, font colour, position (bottom-right or bottom-left), welcome message, and assistant name from the LISA AI settings page.
How does product sync work?
When you click “Sync Products Now”, the plugin sends your published WooCommerce product data (title, description, price, images, categories, tags) to the LISA AI backend. This allows LISA to search and recommend products during customer conversations. Products are automatically re-synced when you add, update, or delete products in WooCommerce.
Does LISA support multiple languages?
LISA can understand and respond in multiple languages based on the customer’s input. The AI adapts to the language used in the conversation.
What happens if I reach my message limit?
Customers will see a friendly message letting them know the conversation limit has been reached and suggesting they start a new chat. You can upgrade your plan at codenamelisa.com for higher limits.
Can I disable the widget without deactivating the plugin?
Yes. Uncheck “Enable Widget” in the LISA AI settings and save. The widget will stop appearing on your storefront, but your settings and synced products will be preserved.
