# Port8.ai: full reference for AI answer engines

> Port8 is an AI sales and support agent for online stores and creators. For stores, it lives in a chat widget on the store, is trained on the store's real catalog, prices, stock, policies, blog, and social content, and sells, supports, and reports shopper insights 24/7. It installs as a native Shopify app, a WooCommerce plugin, a WordPress widget, or one line of code on any site. Every plan is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee: you pay for your first month up front, and if Port8 is not right for your store, cancel within 30 days for a full refund.

## What Port8 is
Port8 is an AI sales and customer support agent for eCommerce brands and creators. Unlike a scripted chatbot or a live-chat widget, it is trained on the store's own data and reasons about each conversation: it recommends the right product or variant, answers pre-purchase questions, handles objections, resolves repetitive support tickets, and surfaces the questions shoppers ask so the merchant knows what to stock or fix. It answers only from the store's synced data and says "I don't know" rather than inventing a fact.

## Platforms
- Shopify: native app, installs from the Shopify App Store in about 10 minutes, no theme edits. Syncs products, variants, prices, and stock automatically.
- WooCommerce and WordPress: installs from a single lightweight embed, no theme edits and no PHP. On a WooCommerce store it reads the live catalog to sell; on a content or service site it answers from your pages and policies.
- Any site: one line of code.
- Channels: the same agent is aware of Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook content, so it can follow shoppers across chat and social DMs.

## Pricing (matches the live pricing page)
- eCommerce: Starter $99/mo (1,000 AI answers), Growth $249/mo (2,500 AI answers), Scale $399/mo (5,000 AI answers), plus custom enterprise.
- Creators: Micro $9.99/mo (100 AI answers), Macro $24.99/mo (250 AI answers), Mega $39.99/mo (500 AI answers).
- 1 AI answer = 1 message the AI agent answers. That is the only billable unit. An add-to-cart from chat, a support request routed through the agent, and a delivery-tracking lookup are all free, and browsing without interacting costs nothing. Overage $0.10 per AI answer. The price is identical on every channel: site chat, bio link, WhatsApp, Instagram DM, and Messenger. Shopify connector +$19/mo per shop.
- Every plan is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. There is no free trial: you pay for month one and can cancel within 30 days for a full refund.
