Cart Assistant settings
Navigation: WordPress Admin → WooCommerce → AI Assistant → Cart Assistant
Intro: *Read and update the shopper cart. Mutations still require confirmation.*
The in-chat cart uses the WooCommerce session cart. The client cannot set a price. Extra REST body fields are ignored.
Quantity and remove from the mini-cart write the session directly. Add from an AI suggestion is staged and must be confirmed. REST POST /cart/add also stages confirmation through the same broker.
Enable cart reading (get_cart)
What it does Lets the assistant describe the current cart.
Default value On.
Available options On / Off.
Recommended configuration On.
When to use it Off if you do not want the model to see cart line items.
Effect on the frontend Shoppers can ask “what’s in my cart?” Mini-cart UI still uses GET /aiwsa/v1/cart.
Dependencies WooCommerce cart session.
Important notes Cart totals come from WooCommerce.
Example “Do I already have the starter motor in the cart?”
Enable add to cart (add_to_cart)
What it does Stages an add-to-cart action that the shopper must confirm.
Default value On.

Example Assistant proposes adding SKU 412; shopper taps Confirm; WooCommerce cart updates.
