The WooCommerce bridge lets the agent search the tenant’s catalog, surface product cards in the chat, and drive the visitor to the native WooCommerce checkout. The agent never owns the cart or processes payment — it just fills the cart and hands off.

​
How it works

  1. The agent calls wc_search_products (filterable by category, tag, price range, in-stock flag) to surface candidates.
  2. After the visitor confirms intent, the agent calls wc_add_to_cart with the product variation + quantity.
  3. The agent returns a CTA to https://your-site.com/checkout — the visitor completes payment on the standard WooCommerce checkout (Stripe, PayPal, Klarna — whatever the tenant has configured).

For agent-driven purchases that the visitor finalizes outside the chat, the bridge is enough. For agent-initiated checkouts (e.g. one-click upsell during a conversation), pair the bridge with the COLLECT_PAYMENT tool backed by Stripe Connect — the agent generates a Checkout Session, the visitor pays, the order lands in WooCommerce via webhook.

Plan

Bridges require the Bundle plan (mcp_tools capability). See WordPress pricing.
