External services

This plugin connects to the Paperchat API and loads the Paperchat chat widget script from paperchat.co. These are required for the plugin to function.

Paperchat API

Endpoint: https://paperchat.co/api/v1

• What it is: The Paperchat backend API used to authenticate your account and retrieve the list of chatbots associated with your API key.
• What data is sent and when: Your API key is sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header each time the settings page loads (to populate the chatbot dropdown) and when you click “Fetch Chatbots”. No visitor or end-user data is sent to this endpoint.

Paperchat Widget Script

Endpoint: https://paperchat.co/widgets/livechat/v1.js

• What it is: A JavaScript file that renders the live chat widget on your site’s frontend pages.
• What data is sent and when: The script is loaded from paperchat.co on every page where the widget is active. The chatbot ID and API key are passed as data attributes on the script tag so the widget can identify which chatbot to display. Visitor chat messages are sent to the Paperchat service only when a visitor actively opens and uses the chat widget.
