Sommelier Chatbox – Wine Recommendation Widget for WooCommerce
Sommelier Chatbox is a free WooCommerce widget designed to improve product discovery for wine stores.
The plugin adds a floating chat-style interface to your store that guides visitors through a short, simple conversation and returns a small, focused selection of wines from your existing WooCommerce catalog.
The goal is to reduce choice overload and help customers move faster from browsing to decision, without disrupting your store layout.
This FREE version works entirely inside WordPress and WooCommerce: – No checkout integrations – No tracking
All recommendations are generated using deterministic rules based on your existing WooCommerce data (categories, tags, attributes, descriptions, prices, stock).
