Fix: if your browser won’t allow secure sign-in inside the wp-admin panel (some browsers/policies refuse this), the plugin now automatically switches to the no-login-needed dashboard after a couple of tries, instead of repeatedly asking you to open a new tab.
1.9.2
New: a “Log in for full access” link on the wp-admin “Concie” panel — sign in with your real Concie account (no password sync needed, just a one-time 6-digit email code) to use the complete dashboard right there in wp-admin, not just the summary view. If the signed-in account isn’t the one connected to this store, you’ll see a clear notice instead of a mismatched dashboard.
1.9.1
Fix: the wp-admin “Concie” panel now shows a clear “Open Concie dashboard” link on a connection problem, instead of silently sitting on a blank/browser-error page — a network blip used to look identical to a successful load from the plugin’s point of view.
1.9.0
New: a “Test” mode for the storefront widget — turn it on from the Concie dashboard’s WooCommerce channel page to keep the widget hidden from real visitors while you finish setting things up. You (as the logged-in store admin) still see it automatically while browsing your own site; flip to “Live” when you’re ready for customers to see it.
New: a separate “Test” mode for checkout — lets you try the full chat-to-cart flow with a simulated checkout page instead of placing a real order, independent of whether the widget itself is live.
Fix: freshly-connected stores now get a secure per-store key set up automatically at download time, instead of needing a separate manual pairing step — this also fixes the wp-admin “Concie” panel for stores that connected via the direct download link.
1.8.0
Onboarding now happens entirely inside wp-admin: activating the plugin (or clicking “Connect to Concie”) takes you straight to the “Concie” menu, where your agent is created and the setup wizard runs right there — no more opening a separate browser tab to finish connecting.
1.7.0
New: a “Concie” menu in your wp-admin sidebar (next to Settings -> Concie) opens your Concie dashboard in an embedded panel — no separate login, scoped to this store’s connected agent. Home and Channels open the full dashboard; other sections show a read-only summary for now, with more moving over in future updates.
1.6.4
Renamed the plugin to “Concie – AI Sales Associate” (was “Concie Chat”) — same plugin file and settings, no reconnection needed.
1.6.3
One button, one checkbox: the AI-tools checkbox now sits right next to “Connect to Concie” and is the only place to manage it — checking or unchecking it and clicking Connect sets up (or updates) pairing and consent together in a single click, whether this is your first connection or you’re changing your mind later. Replaces the old two-step flow (connect, then separately find and save a toggle elsewhere).
1.6.2
Order lookup: the order number is now optional — if a shopper only has their email on hand, Concie returns their single most recent order instead of asking for a number they may not have. Rate-limited per email address.
1.6.1
Order lookup now also returns a locale-independent status slug (e.g. “processing”, “cancelled”) alongside the existing translated status label, so Concie’s dashboard can render an accurate order-status card regardless of store language.
1.6.0
Adds an explicit “AI tools” opt-in under Settings -> Concie: order lookup, live stock/price, shipping estimates, and add-to-cart now require this checkbox in addition to pairing. Unchecked by default — the chat widget itself is unaffected.
Unchecking it takes effect immediately on the next request; no need to reconnect.
1.5.0
Add to cart from chat: shoppers can pick products in the Concie chat and get a one-click checkout link that fills their cart and takes them to your checkout. Payment always happens on your store.
Adds a signed /wp-json/concie/v1/cart-link endpoint that mints a one-time link; items only enter a cart when the shopper opens it, in their own session.
Already-connected stores: re-click “Connect to Concie” once if you connected before enabling these store features.
1.4.0
Order status in chat: shoppers can ask Concie “where is my order?” and get status and tracking, verified by order number + billing email.
Live stock & price: the chat confirms availability and current pricing straight from your store, not a cached copy.
Shipping estimates: the chat quotes real shipping options and cost to a destination, using your store’s own shipping settings.
All three run through signed, read-only endpoints (/order-lookup, /product-status, /shipping-estimate). Concie signs each request with a private key shared once during pairing; everything runs on your site and never exposes any store admin/API keys.
An order is only returned when the order number AND billing email match the same order — never by number alone.
Already-connected stores: re-click “Connect to Concie” once to enable these features.
1.3.0
“Connect to Concie” now creates and links your agent automatically — no Agent ID to copy or paste.
Added a one-time pairing code (30-min expiry, single use) and a /wp-json/concie/v1/pair endpoint so Concie can write the Agent ID back to this site.
Connect link now pre-fills your Concie account email from your WordPress admin email.
Manual Agent ID entry moved under an “Advanced” section on the settings page.
Notes when WooCommerce isn’t active — the widget still works, but product-specific answers need it.
1.2.0
Declared WooCommerce HPOS (custom order tables) and Cart/Checkout Blocks compatibility.
Marketplace + WordPress.org readiness.
1.1.0
Generic, marketplace-ready build: one plugin for everyone, connect via Settings -> Concie.
Added connection status, “Connect to Concie” action, and an external-services disclosure.
Widget script now only loads once an Agent ID is configured.
