Set Up AI Product Search for WooCommerce — The Wizard Handles Everything
Contexa scans your store, detects your products and content types, creates your account, syncs everything, and activates AI-powered ecommerce search — all inside a single guided wizard. Better product search in minutes. No settings pages. No API keys to copy. No manual steps.
How the Setup Wizard Activates Your Product Search
Scans Your Store Automatically
The moment you activate the plugin, Contexa launches a full-screen wizard and runs a health score test on your site. It detects your products, categories, tags, post types, taxonomies, active languages (WPML), and existing search plugins — all without you lifting a finger.
Shows You What It Found
The wizard presents a dashboard with your search health score, everything it detected (product count, categories, post types, languages), and any issues it identified. You see exactly what Contexa is working with before anything changes.
You Choose What to Sync
Select which content types to make searchable — WooCommerce products, blog posts, pages, or custom post types. If WPML is active, you also pick which languages to include. Only the content you select gets indexed.
Creates Your Account & Syncs Everything
Enter your email and Contexa automatically creates your account, generates your API key, connects your store, and starts syncing your selected content in batches. A live progress bar shows connecting, indexing, analyzing, and enabling tracking — all in one step.
Search Is Live
When the sync completes, Contexa shows your before and after health scores and gives you the [contexa_search] shortcode. Place it on any page where you want AI-powered search — homepage, shop page, or a dedicated search page. You're done.
What Happens to Your Product Search After Setup
Once the wizard finishes, Contexa runs in the background with zero maintenance.
Auto-Sync on Save
Every time you create, update, or delete a product, Contexa syncs the change to your search index automatically. Same for posts and pages if content sync is enabled.
Smart Autocomplete
As customers type, inline site search suggestions appear based on real search history — ranked by frequency, recency, and click-through rate. Under 5ms response time.
Order & Conversion Tracking
Add-to-cart events, order completions, and search-driven revenue are tracked automatically. Fully anonymous — no PII collected, no extra setup required.
WPML Multi-Language Support
If WPML is active, Contexa indexes each language separately based on your wizard selections. Content is filtered per language for better search relevance.
No Performance Impact
Product search queries are processed on Contexa's infrastructure. Your server load stays flat. Cached results return in under 200ms.
Easy Removal
Want to stop using Contexa? Just remove the shortcode from your pages. Your default WooCommerce search continues working as before. No cleanup needed.

Cross-Sell and Upsell on Autopilot

Place them on product pages, cart, checkout, or homepage. Each renders a responsive grid with quantity selectors and instant add-to-cart — no page reload.
