== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Is onWebChat free? =
Yes! No credit card is required. Our Free Plan includes almost all core features and is a great fit for most small businesses. New accounts also receive a 1-month free trial of the Pro AI Plan and 50 AI bot credits to test the full AI chatbot experience.
= How does the WooCommerce integration work? =
If WooCommerce is installed, you can enable automatic product sync in the onWebChat settings. Your AI chatbot will learn your product catalog — names, descriptions, and links — and use that information to answer customer questions accurately. Products sync automatically when added, updated, or deleted, and you can run a bulk sync for existing products at any time.
= Is my WooCommerce data safe? =
Absolutely. Product sync is secured with HMAC-SHA256 authentication and a unique secret key. Only essential product data (name, description, URL) is synced — no customer data, orders, or payment information is ever transmitted.
= How does the AI chatbot work? =
You provide training data in the form of questions and answers. The AI chatbot uses this data (plus WooCommerce product info, if enabled) to answer visitor questions automatically — in any language, even with spelling mistakes. You receive 50 free bot credits on signup to get started.
= What does the Pro AI Plan include? =
Everything in the Free Plan, plus: AI chatbot, AI tools, unlimited chat history, operating hours and white-label (remove the onWebChat branding).
= How is the AI chatbot priced? =
After your free 50 credits, AI chatbot access requires the Pro AI Plan. Bot credits start at $6 for 200 chat sessions, with volume discounts available.
= Does the AI understand multiple languages? =
Yes. The AI chatbot can understand and respond in your visitor's language — regardless of the language your training data is written in. It also handles typos and informal phrasing naturally.
= Can I show or hide the chat widget on specific pages? =
Yes. You can control exactly which pages show the live chat widget from within the onWebChat plugin settings.
= Can I hide the chat widget when I'm offline? =
Yes — simply deselect "Use Offline Form" in your dashboard to hide the widget when no agents are available.
= Is there a white-label option? =
Yes. The Pro AI Plan lets you remove the onWebChat logo from the chat widget.
= Can I monitor visitor activity in real time? =
Yes. The real-time monitoring dashboard shows who is on your site, their location, what pages they've visited, and more — so you can proactively start conversations at the right moment.
= Can chats be transferred between agents? =
Yes. Active conversations can be transferred to any available agent at any time.
= Can I invite visitors to chat? =
Yes. Use automated chat Triggers based on visitor behavior, or manually invite any visitor from the monitoring dashboard.
= How secure is onWebChat? =
All chat data is encrypted with SSL. Product sync uses HMAC-SHA256 authentication. onWebChat is fully GDPR compliant.
= Which languages are supported in the dashboard? =
The dashboard supports English, Swedish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Slovenian, Greek, and Turkish. The chat widget text can be fully customized in any language.
= I can't connect with my email and password — what should I do? =
If your connection is blocked (for example, by a firewall or server restriction), use your Chat ID instead. You can find it in the onWebChat Dashboard or in your registration email.
