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
Contexa launches a setup wizard and scans your store. It detects products, categories, content types, languages, and existing search setup — instantly.
Shows You What It Found
View your search health score, detected content, and potential issues — all in one clear dashboard.
You Choose What to Sync
Select what to include: products, pages, posts, or custom types. Choose languages if using WPML.
Creates Your Account & Syncs Everything
Enter your email. Contexa creates your account, connects your store, and syncs everything with a live progress flow.
Search Is Live
Get your shortcode and place it anywhere. Your AI-powered search is ready.
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.
Drop-In Ecommerce Search Widget
5 ready-made templates — no CSS required
Add AI Product Search Anywhere with One Shortcode
Place [contexa_search] on any page and instantly enable a full AI-powered search experience. Choose between grid or list layouts, control columns, toggle pricing, and select from 5 ready-made templates — Classic Grid, Minimal Clean, Card with Shadow, Modern Bordered, or Colorful Gradient. Customize the experience without touching code: adjust layout density, highlight key products, and match the search UI to your store’s design in seconds. The widget is fully responsive, fast-loading, and works seamlessly with any WooCommerce theme. Powered by Contexa’s AI, results are optimized for relevance, helping customers find what they actually mean — not just what they type. From homepage search bars to dedicated search pages, you can deploy high-converting search anywhere with a single shortcode. No CSS. No API setup. No friction.
AI Product Recommendations That Drive Search Conversion
5 recommendation types with AJAX add-to-cart
Cross-Sell and Upsell on Autopilot
Contexa includes 5 powerful shortcodes: [contexa_similar], [contexa_trending], [contexa_personalized], [contexa_frequently_together], and [contexa_cart_based]. Place them anywhere — product pages, cart, checkout, or homepage — to automatically surface the most relevant products for each shopper. Each block renders a clean, responsive grid with quantity selectors and instant add-to-cart, so users can take action without leaving the page. Recommendations update dynamically based on product context, user behavior, and cart contents, helping you increase average order value with zero manual setup. No rules to configure, no bundles to maintain — just drop in a shortcode and let Contexa handle cross-sell and upsell intelligently in real time.
