Thaitus Finder – AI Product Search for WooCommerce

Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active.

Every account starts with a free 3-day trial that includes 100 AI answers, with no card needed. After that, a paid plan starts at €9 a month. If the trial ends without a plan, or a plan's monthly answers run out, search keeps working with plain product matches, without AI recommendations or explanations.

Open Manage billing on the plugin's settings screen and cancel there. The plan runs to the end of the period you have already paid for, with no partial refund, and nothing is deleted. Afterwards shoppers still get quick product matches, just without AI answers.

You don't need an OpenAI or any other AI key. Thaitus Finder is a hosted service and the AI is included in the price, so there is no separate AI account or bill to set up. You do need a Thaitus Finder account and its two API keys. The setup wizard creates both for you. For an existing account, enter its keys in the setup wizard.

By default it takes over the search field in your site header, which may be one added by another search plugin. Shoppers can still reach your regular search results from the AI search window. To keep another search plugin in the header, turn off "Add AI search to the site header" in the settings and place the [thaitus_aips_search] shortcode where you want the AI search box.

It recognises the header search in Blocksy, Kadence, Astra, Neve and Storefront, and in themes that use the standard WordPress search form or search block. If your theme isn't recognised, enter its search field in the "Search form selector" setting, or use the [thaitus_aips_search] shortcode. The "Check storefront entry point" button shows what shoppers will see.

Shoppers can ask in their own language and get the answer in that language. This works for the widely used languages the underlying AI models support. It is tested most with Lithuanian and English. The settings screens are in English and Lithuanian.

Yes. When you sync, it reads each product's name, brand, category and description and works out what the product is for. Longer descriptions give it more to work with, so they produce better matches.

No. It only recommends products from your synced catalog. When nothing fits, it says so. When a shopper asks for a product that is out of stock, it says so and suggests alternatives.

No. The AI work runs on the Thaitus Finder service, not on your hosting, and catalog sync runs in the background. With direct search on (the default), shoppers' browsers send searches straight to the service. With it off, your server passes each search along. Your pages load one script and one stylesheet from the plugin, plus WooCommerce's own add-to-cart scripts, which most stores load already.

Setup takes a few minutes: create your account in the wizard, sync your catalog and turn on the storefront search. After a sync, the service processes your products in the background. This usually takes a few minutes, and longer for large catalogs.

Catalog sync sends eligible products to the Thaitus Finder service. Product edits and deletions are synced automatically.

Your catalog, account and search logs are stored on AWS in Frankfurt, in the EU. Search logs keep the search text and the AI's reply, with email addresses and phone numbers masked, for 90 days. Product text and searches are processed by Google Gemini and Voyage AI. See "External services" below for details. The plugin does not store or deliberately send shoppers' IP addresses, cookies, or account details. With direct search enabled, the shopper's browser connects to the API, which sees the IP address at the network level but does not store or log storefront-request IPs. The plugin also uses the source IP locally for short-lived search rate limiting.

Deactivating stops AI search on your storefront. Deleting the plugin also erases the API keys and settings stored on your site. Neither one touches your Thaitus Finder account: the catalog index, usage history and any paid plan all remain, so keep a copy of your keys before deleting, and cancel a paid plan separately if you no longer want it.

Use "Close your account and delete your data" at the bottom of the plugin's settings screen. You type your account name to confirm, and the service then cancels any paid plan immediately, deletes the catalog index, every API key and the usage history, and removes the keys stored on your site. It cannot be undone.
