## Overview

The **Connect E-commerce Store** feature lets you link your CX Genie bot directly with online store platforms such as **Shopify** or **WooCommerce**.

This integration enables the bot to:

* Answer detailed product questions with live data

## Steps to Use

#### 1. Access the E-commerce Tab

* Go to **Training Data** → **Connect E-commerce Store**.

#### 2. View Connected Stores

* Use the 🗑️ Trash icon to remove a store connection.

#### 3. Add a New Store Connection

1. Click **Connect Store**.
2. Choose **Shopify** or **WooCommerce**.

**For Shopify**

* Enter **Access token**.
* Enter **Store permanent link** (e.g., `shop.myshopify.com`).
* Click **Connect**.

* Enter **Store permanent link** (e.g., `mydomain.com`).

#### 6. Remove a Store Connection

* In the store details panel, click **Remove Store** to disconnect.

## Example / Use Case

A Shopify store owner connects their shop to CX Genie.

* Customers ask: *“Is the Mocha Latte Pack in stock?”*
* The bot fetches real-time stock and pricing from Shopify and replies instantly.
* This reduces manual updates and improves customer shopping experience.

***

## Notes

* Only **1 store connection per bot** is supported.
* Credentials needed:
  * Shopify → Access token + store link
  * WooCommerce → Consumer key, secret, and store link
* Data is updated **in real-time** when synced.
* Removing a store connection deletes all linked product data.
* Switching platforms? → Remove the old store before adding the new one.

***

## Quick Tips

* Sync regularly to ensure stock and prices are accurate.
* Use descriptive product names in your store — the bot uses these for search.
* Test product queries in **Chat with Bot** after integration.

## Troubleshooting

* **Connection fails** → Check credentials (Access token / Consumer key & secret).
* **Products not syncing** → Confirm store data is published and live.
* **Bot not answering with product info** → Re-sync or refresh the integration.
* **Exceeded 1 store limit** → Remove existing connection before adding a new one.
