Connect WooCommerce to WhatsApp — an Arabic bot
The short answer
A WooCommerce store on your own hosting, connected to WhatsApp: products, stock and orders in the conversation, with confirmation and cart recovery.
WooCommerce is the most used among stores on their own hosting.
What it actually does
- Reads products and stock from your store directly
- Confirms the order and follows the delivery
- Chases the abandoned cart
- Works with any theme — no change to your site
Connected with an API key from the WooCommerce dashboard itself — no extra plugin on your site.
How the connection is made on WooCommerce
A REST key from the WooCommerce dashboard itself (Store → Settings → Advanced → REST API) with read and write access. No plugin is installed on your site — deliberately: every new WordPress plugin is another failure surface and another thing for you to keep updated.
And what it does not do on WooCommerce
A store on slow shared hosting makes stock reads slower, because the question goes to your own server rather than a platform cloud. Dynamic-pricing plugins that compute a price at render time are invisible to the REST API, so the bot reads the stored price rather than the computed one.
And why that matters in your market
WooCommerce is the dominant choice among self-hosted Egyptian stores, which means the store is entirely yours — including its speed and its backups. The bot reads from it directly, so what you see in your dashboard is what the customer sees in the conversation.
