FAQ
-
Do I need an API key to use the plugin?
-
Yes. You must provide your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google AI Studio. The plugin does not include API access or credits.
-
Which AI provider should I use?
-
All three providers work well. OpenAI’s GPT-4o Mini is a great all-rounder. Google Gemini 2.0 Flash is the fastest and cheapest option, and Google AI Studio offers a free tier — ideal if you want to try the plugin at no cost. Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5 is an excellent alternative with strong writing quality.
-
How much does it cost to use?
-
The plugin itself is free. You pay only for API usage to your chosen provider. A typical content generation costs less than $0.01 with GPT-4o Mini, Gemini 2.0 Flash, or Claude Haiku 4.5.
-
Is my product data secure?
-
Your API key is encrypted before storage using WordPress security keys. Product data is sent directly to your chosen provider via HTTPS. No data is stored on third-party servers beyond what’s needed for the API request.
-
Can I customize the AI prompt?
-
Yes. Advanced users can customize the prompt template in Settings > Advanced Settings.
-
What if the generated content isn’t right?
-
All generated content is shown for review before applying. You choose which fields to apply and can edit the content directly in the modal. Nothing is changed on your product until you click Apply.
-
Does this work with variable products?
-
Yes. For variable products, the plugin can also generate unique descriptions for each variation tailored to its specific attributes.
-
Can I exclude certain categories from suggestions?
-
Yes, you can exclude specific categories in the plugin settings.
-
What happens if I reach the rate limit?
-
The plugin includes configurable rate limiting. You’ll see a warning when approaching your limit. You can adjust the threshold in settings.
