A customer types “winter boots, waterproof, under 80, size 9” into your store. Your search returns every boot you sell. The customer wanted four specific things and got none of them filtered.
This plugin connects your WooCommerce store to the Emporiqa chat assistant. Customers describe what they need, the assistant finds matching products, answers questions about shipping and returns from your own pages, compares items, and lets them add to cart and proceed to checkout — all from the chat.

<h3>WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING</h3>
“Motive always came recommended by the different communities we enquired through. We trialed a few other providers before switching, however they were under-featured, clunky and over-priced. When we trialed Motive the on-boarding was the smoothest I’d ever seen and we were able to get a workable search implementation almost instantly – it just worked and most importantly our customers loved it.” JH – United Kingdom on Trustpilot
“I totally recommend this smart search engine solution to anyone running an online store. It’s reliable, fast, super easy to use, and cheaper than the other options out there. Plus, their customer support team is awesome. Really professional and helpful. That makes all the difference!” – Global Neoprene – France on Trustpilot
“The integration was surprisingly quick and easy, working seamlessly with WooCommerce. What really impressed us was how customizable the search tool is – it blended in so well with our website’s design that it felt like a built-in feature, keeping everything looking consistent without sacrificing any functionality. Our experience with Motive eCommerce Search and the team behind it has been incredibly positive, directly improving navigation and customer satisfaction in our stores.” – Victor – Spain on Trustpilot
