Frequently asked questions

Why do some retailer URLs fail?

Some sites block server-side requests using Cloudflare, Imperva, Incapsula, DataDome, Akamai, or similar protection. Use Paste HTML mode or the Chrome extension for those stores.

Does the Chrome extension contain my OpenAI API key?

No. The extension only captures rendered product page data and sends it to your WordPress plugin. OpenAI requests are handled by WordPress.

Does the plugin publish products immediately?

No. Imported products are created as drafts so you can review them before publishing.

Does the plugin create variable products?

Yes. Variable products are created when the review screen is set to Variable Product. If the extension is set to Simple Product, the importer creates only the selected product as a simple WooCommerce draft even if the source page has variant links or selectors.

Updates and access

An active individual or portfolio entitlement provides updates and support. After expiry, the installed local version remains, while update access, support, new activations, domain moves, and protected remote services stop.
