An AI assistant inside the Dokan and WCFM vendor dashboards: listing writer, price suggestions, buyer reply drafts, store bio/SEO and performance tips, with admin quotas and moderation.
Give every vendor on your marketplace an assistant inside their own dashboard, styled to match Dokan or WCFM:
- Listing writer – photos + a few notes become a title, descriptions, tags, attributes, category, SEO text and alt text. Creates the product for the vendor.
- Price suggestions – compares with similar published listings on the marketplace (public prices and ratings only) and suggests a price and range.
- Buyer replies – one inbox for product reviews, order notes, WCFM inquiries and Dokan Pro support topics, with reply drafts that are sent back to the right place.
- Store bio & SEO – bio, tagline, SEO title/description and keywords saved into the marketplace's own fields.
- Performance tips – sales, listing quality, stock and reviews from the vendor's own data, summed up as clear next steps.
For the marketplace owner:
- Turn features on or off for everyone or per vendor, and switch the assistant off for a vendor.
- Monthly AI credits per vendor with a full ledger (credits, tokens, estimated cost, CSV export).
- Moderation of AI-written listings: hold for review or flag, blocked words, approve/reject with a note, DEV3 AI policy check.
- Vendors only ever see their own data (strict ownership checks on every request).
- Everything works without AI too: basic helpers for every feature.
Uses Google AI with your own API key, a monthly budget cap, caching and PII masking. No licence key required.
- WordPress 6.0 or newer (tested up to 6.8)
- PHP 7.4 or newer
- WooCommerce with Dokan or WCFM (required)
- Optional: your own Google AI API key (from Google AI Studio) to switch on the DEV3 AI features. The rest of the plugin works without one.
