</ul>
<h4>Prerequisites</h4>
<p>An active <a href="https://setchat.co" rel="nofollow ugc">SetChat</a> account with an API key.</p>
<h4>Third-Party Services</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to the <strong>SetChat</strong> external service to provide live chat functionality. The following external requests are made:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Widget script</strong> — The plugin loads a JavaScript file from <code>https://widget.setchat.co/setchat.iife.js</code>. This script renders the chat widget on your website.</li>
<li><strong>Chat API</strong> — The widget communicates with <code>https://api.setchat.co</code> via WebSocket and HTTPS to send and receive chat messages in real time.</li>
</ol>
<p>These connections are essential for the plugin to function. No data is sent unless the plugin is enabled and an API key is configured.</p>
<p><strong>When “Sync logged-in users” is enabled</strong>, the logged-in user’s display name and email address are passed to the widget via HTML data attributes. This data is transmitted to the SetChat API when a chat conversation is started.</p>
<p><strong>When “WooCommerce sync” is enabled</strong>, WooCommerce customer information (name, email, phone, company) and cart summary (item count, total, currency) are also transmitted.</p>
