<h4>Does the plugin support WhatsApp Business?</h4>
<p>Yes. You can connect your <strong>WhatsApp Business</strong> number in the WebChatAgent dashboard. Your AI chatbot can then reply to WhatsApp messages, and you can manage those conversations alongside website chats.</p>
<h4>How does the AI chatbot understand my website content?</h4>
<p>WebChatAgent uses <strong>RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)</strong> to index and understand your website content and documents. When visitors ask questions, the AI combines this indexed content with a large language model (e.g. ChatGPT or Gemini) to provide accurate, context-aware answers.</p>

<h4>What is the API Connector and how does it work?</h4>

<p><strong>WooCommerce examples:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>“Where is my order #12345?”</strong> – The chatbot checks your WooCommerce shop and tells the customer the current order status</li>

<li><strong>“Show me my recent orders”</strong> – Displays the customer’s order history from your shop</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Other systems:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Support tickets</strong> – Show ticket status from helpdesk systems</li>
<li><strong>Account info</strong> – Look up balances, memberships or custom data from any system</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How to set it up:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Select the <strong>WooCommerce template</strong> (or another template for your system)</li>
<li>The chatbot asks customers to verify their identity (e.g. their order email)</li>
<li>Once verified, the chatbot can look up their orders, products and personal data</li>
</ol>
<p>No programming knowledge required — the WooCommerce connector works out of the box.</p>
