AI & automation service

AI Integration for WooCommerce Stores

Cmsmart gives WooCommerce stores AI in two ways. The first is the AI tools already built into the Cmsmart Ecommerce Plugin: AI Print-QA (Preflight), Background Remover and Upscale, which run on your Cmsmart licence with controls over who can use them. The second is custom work: our team connects the AI services you choose to your store and workflows.

In short

How can I add AI tools and AI workflows to my WooCommerce store?

Cmsmart adds AI to WooCommerce stores in two ways: the AI tools built into the Cmsmart Ecommerce Plugin, such as Print-QA (Preflight), Background Remover and Upscale, and custom integrations that connect AI services you choose to your store and workflows. The custom work is built as custom development and quoted per project after a free scoping call.

About this service

For print and personalisation stores that want artwork checked before production, stores already on the Cmsmart plugin that want AI tools without a separate AI account, and B2B or marketplace stores that want AI inside their own processes. AI tools do not replace the final human check of artwork; they catch problems early.

AI tools shipped in the Cmsmart plugin

ToolWhat it doesSince
AI Print-QA (Preflight)Checks uploaded artwork against the product's print spec: resolution, colour mode, fonts, bleed and transparency. Shows a bleed and trim preview.2.10.0 (Jul 2026)
AI on your Cmsmart licenceBackground Remover, Upscale and Preflight run on your existing Cmsmart licence and shared Cmsmart tokens. No separate AI account or API keys.2.12 (Aug 2026)
AI access controlsOne master switch and a toggle per tool. Choose who can use AI: everyone, signed-in members or paying customers.2.15 (Sep 2026)
Tokens and usageTokens live in your Cmsmart dashboard wallet; a 30-day usage log is kept in your store, and you get an email when your balance runs low.2.12–2.15

The 2.10.0 release notes describe checks, not automatic correction of artwork.

AI integration services (custom)

This is project work that we quote, not a packaged feature. Examples:

  • AI support chat connected to your catalogue, FAQs and order status, alongside our live chat and AI automation service.
  • AI for product content: draft titles, descriptions and attributes, with a human review step before anything is published.
  • AI in B2B workflows: sort and route quote requests, or add an AI step to ERP/CRM sync.
  • Connecting your own AI provider or model to WooCommerce through its API, with logging and cost limits.
  • Print-specific rules: preflight thresholds per product or printer, set up on top of the shipped Preflight tool.

Scope and deliverables

  • A discovery session and a written design: use cases, data flow, data privacy, and who pays for AI usage.
  • Build on a staging site, with test cases for each use case.
  • Access controls and usage limits, so AI costs stay predictable.
  • Handover documentation and admin training.
  • Optional maintenance, run through tickets in your Cmsmart dashboard.

What you provide

  • Your goals and example inputs, such as real quote requests or sample artwork.
  • API access to the systems we connect.
  • Your AI provider account, if you use your own.
  • The privacy rules that apply to your customer data.

AI in your workflows

AI workflow automation for orders, quotes and support

Beyond the AI tools in the plugin, we build AI into the workflows around a store. We start from one workflow, name the person who owns it, and define what a correct result looks like before anything is built. A person stays in control of every decision that needs one.

  • Conversations

    An assistant that turns a free-text request into a structured specification, or answers where an order is, and hands over to a person when it is unsure.

  • Files and documents

    Checks on artwork or documents, with a review step before the result is used.

  • System to system

    AI steps linking your store, CRM, helpdesk and ERP, with retries and checks that make a doubtful sync visible instead of losing it.

  • Start with one workflow

    We agree the test cases, including the cases where the automation must hand over, then build and measure that one workflow.
