## Description

[Paperchat](https://paperchat.co) lets you add a fully-featured AI chat widget to
your WordPress site in minutes.

#### Features

 * Authenticate with a single API key – no domain configuration needed
 * Auto-injects the chat widget on all pages
 * Shortcode [paperchat_widget] for manual placement
 * Lightweight – one script tag, no extra assets

#### How it works

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Go to **Settings > Paperchat**.
 3. Enter your API key (from Paperchat > Settings > API Keys) and click “Fetch Chatbots”.
 4. Select your chatbot from the dropdown and save.
 5. Visit your site – the widget appears immediately.

### External services

This plugin connects to the Paperchat API and loads the Paperchat chat widget script
from [paperchat.co](https://paperchat.co). These are required for the plugin to 
function.

#### Paperchat API

Endpoint: [https://paperchat.co/api/v1](https://paperchat.co/api/v1)

 * **What it is:** The Paperchat backend API used to authenticate your account and
   retrieve the list of chatbots associated with your API key.
 * **What data is sent and when:** Your API key is sent as a Bearer token in the
   Authorization header each time the settings page loads (to populate the chatbot
   dropdown) and when you click “Fetch Chatbots”. No visitor or end-user data is
   sent to this endpoint.
 * **Terms of service:** [https://paperchat.co/terms](https://paperchat.co/terms)
 * **Privacy policy:** [https://paperchat.co/privacy](https://paperchat.co/privacy)

#### Paperchat Widget Script

Endpoint: [https://paperchat.co/widgets/livechat/v1.js](https://paperchat.co/widgets/livechat/v1.js)

 * **What it is:** A JavaScript file that renders the live chat widget on your site’s
   frontend pages.
 * **What data is sent and when:** The script is loaded from paperchat.co on every
   page where the widget is active. The chatbot ID and API key are passed as data
   attributes on the script tag so the widget can identify which chatbot to display.
   Visitor chat messages are sent to the Paperchat service only when a visitor actively
   opens and uses the chat widget.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `paperchat-chatbot` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, 
    or install via **Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin**.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu.
 3. Navigate to **Settings > Paperchat** and enter your credentials.

## FAQ

### Where do I find my API key?

Log in to your Paperchat dashboard and go to **Settings > API Keys**. Click **New
API Key**, name it (e.g. “WordPress”), and copy the key.

### Do I need to find my Chatbot ID manually?

No. After entering your API key and clicking “Fetch Chatbots”, the plugin loads 
your chatbots automatically and lets you pick from a dropdown.

### Can I show the widget only on certain pages?

Uncheck “Enable Widget” in the plugin settings and use the `[paperchat_widget]` 
shortcode on the pages where you want it to appear.

### Is the API key safe to use in WordPress?

Your API key authorises the widget on your site. It is stored in your WordPress 
database (wp_options) and is treated the same as other credentials stored there.
Revoke it at any time from your Paperchat dashboard.
