Is this just another chatbot?
It's chat, but not a canned-answers chatbot. Backpilot is an AI shopping assistant grounded in your live catalog — it searches real products, checks stock and prices, fills the cart, and knows the page your shopper is on. When your store doesn't have something, it says so instead of making things up.
Can I try it before installing?
Yes — open the demo store, a regular WooCommerce shop with Backpilot installed, and ask the concierge for a product, a size, or a gift idea. What you see there is exactly what your shoppers get.
Does it work with my theme?
Yes. The concierge is a self-contained launcher and panel that floats above your pages — it doesn't touch your theme's markup, styles, or layout, and works the same on block and classic themes.
Will it slow my store down?
The storefront loads one small asynchronous script, and only on pages where the concierge is enabled. Beyond the launcher button, nothing loads until a shopper opens the chat. If Backpilot is ever unreachable, your store is unaffected — the concierge simply doesn't appear.
What data does Backpilot use?
Nothing is sent until you click Connect. After that, Backpilot reads your public product data through the standard WooCommerce Store API — the same data any visitor's browser can read. Shoppers' payment details are never involved: checkout runs on your own site, as always.
Can I turn it off?
Instantly. One checkbox removes the concierge from every page of your storefront, with your connection and settings kept. Deleting the plugin disconnects your shop and removes every setting it stored; data held by the service is deleted within 90 days of disconnecting — sooner on request.
What languages does it speak?
Shoppers can chat in any language, and the concierge answers in the same one. The concierge panel itself follows your storefront's language and ships in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Dutch and Ukrainian; any other storefront language shows the panel in English. The plugin's admin pages are in English, with community translations delivered as WordPress language packs.
