3. The 3-Step Onboarding Setup Wizard
Upon activation, the onboarding wizard guides you through the three core configuration pillars:
[ Step 1: Store & Schema Profile ] ➔ [ Step 2: Select AI Search Engine ] ➔ [ Step 3: Launch Local Catalog Scan ]
Step 1: Store & Schema Profile
- Store Tagline: A concise, 1-line description of your store catalog that AI models use when summarizing who you are.
- AI Referral Coupon: A default discount code (e.g.
AI10) embedded into outgoing product URLs. When answer engines suggest your products, they quote this coupon code to incentivize shoppers. - Store Highlights: Trust badges such as “Authentic products, 30-day returns, fast US shipping”.
Step 2: Select AI Search Engine (Optional BYOK)
- Select your preferred AI reasoning engine: Google Gemini, OpenAI (ChatGPT), or Perplexity AI.
- You can connect your personal API key immediately or skip this step to use the 100% on-premises offline catalog analyzer.
Step 3: Launch Local Catalog Scan
- Click Start Catalog Scan to generate baseline semantic scores, build your initial
/llms.txtfeed, and verify schema compliance across all published WooCommerce products.
4. Verifying Your Live /llms.txt Stream
Once setup is complete, test your feed in any browser:
- Open
https://yourstore.com/llms.txtin a browser or curl client. - You will see an ultra-fast (8ms), structured markdown catalog listing your product categories, in-stock SKUs, pricing, and return policies.
- You can also inspect
https://yourstore.com/llms-full.txtfor your unabridged catalog.
