It helps customers understand which dishes fit each bottle and why. **Install and you’re connected — no account needed.** Click one button and the plugin verifies your domain and sets everything up for you. There is no separate sign-up, and no API key to copy or paste. It just works. **Free during the early-store programme.** Use SommelierX while we build it together with early stores. Tell us what you need and we will build it. **External services disclosure** This plugin relies on the SommelierX service: * On “Connect”, the plugin briefly publishes a random verification token at `/wp- json/sommelierx/v1/handshake` and asks `https://api.sommelierx.com` to provision your store; SommelierX fetches that token to confirm you own the domain, then returns your widget key. No account or password is involved. * On “Import your catalog”, SommelierX reads your published products from the public WooCommerce Store API (`/wp-json/wc/store/products`) to build your wine assortment. * On product pages, the plugin loads a script from `https://sommelierx.com/widget/ v1.js`, which sends the wine’s product information (name, ID, and your widget key) to `https://api.sommelierx.com` to fetch pairings. * No customer personal data is sent — only product and widget usage information. Terms of service: https://sommelierx.com/terms Privacy policy: https://sommelierx. com/privacy **Four pairing flows, each compact or full:** * **Product mode** — Food-pairing suggestions on individual wine product pages: customers see which dishes pair best with the wine they are viewing. * **Search mode** — A search bar where visitors type a dish (or even a single ingredient) and get wine recommendations from your catalog. * **Build a Plate mode** — Visitors choose a main ingredient, preparation, sauce, sides, and amounts before seeing wines from your catalog. * **Choose a Wine mode** — Visitors select a wine from your catalog and see its matching dishes. * **Multilingual** — Search and results in Dutch or English. **Key features:** * One-click connect — install, click “Connect to SommelierX”, done. No account. * One-click catalog import from the WooCommerce Store API — recognised wines become ready for the widget; the rest are staged for a quick review. * Place any flow anywhere with the `[sommelierx_widget]` shortcode, for example`[ sommelierx_widget mode="builder" variant="compact"]`. * Search by dish name or ingredient, in Dutch or English. * Light and dark theme to match your store. * Configurable accent color for brand consistency. * Loads asynchronously — no impact on page speed. * Works with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage). * Fully responsive on mobile and desktop. ## Screenshots [⌊One-click connect and catalog import — no account needed.⌉⌊One-click connect and catalog import — no account needed.⌉[ One-click connect and catalog import — no account needed.

Download the plugin ZIP file. 2. In your WordPress admin, go to **Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin**. 3. Upload the ZIP file and click **Install Now**, then **Activate**. 4. Go to **WooCommerce > SommelierX** in the admin menu. 5. Click **Connect to SommelierX**. That’s it — your store is connected automatically, no account or API key needed. 6.

No. Click **Connect to SommelierX** on the settings page and the plugin verifies your domain and sets everything up for you. No sign-up, no API key to copy. ### How does the automatic connection work? When you click Connect, the plugin publishes a one-time random token at `/wp-json/ sommelierx/v1/handshake`. SommelierX fetches that token to confirm you control the domain, then hands back your widget key, which the plugin stores for you. The token is deleted straight after. ### How do I import my wines? Click **Import your catalog**. SommelierX reads your published products from the public WooCommerce Store API. Wines we recognise become ready for the widget; anything we’re unsure about is staged for a quick review. Placement and storefront visibility remain separate settings. ### Is it really free? Yes — it’s free during the early-store programme. Use the feedback button on the settings page to tell us what you need. ### Can I still enter a key manually? Yes. The API key field is still there as a fallback if you’d rather paste a key from the SommelierX dashboard. ### Does this plugin slow down my site? No. The widget script loads asynchronously with `defer`, so it does not block page rendering. ### Can I customize the widget appearance? Yes — choose a light or dark theme, set a custom accent color, and optionally add a CSS class for further styling. ### Does it work with variable products? Yes. The widget works on all WooCommerce product types, including simple, variable, and grouped products. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “SommelierX Wine Pairing” is open source software.
