AI-powered WhatsApp & Instagram Sales Agent, COD Order Verification to slash return rates, and Abandoned Cart Recovery for WooCommerce.

== Description ==

**EasyOrder Agent for WooCommerce** empowers e-commerce store owners to automate sales, verify Cash on Delivery (COD) orders, and recover abandoned carts across **WhatsApp** and **Instagram DMs** using high-speed Artificial Intelligence.

### 🚀 Key Features:
* **24/7 AI Sales Consultant:** Understands Arabic (fluent Egyptian and Gulf dialects) and guides customers to products, prices, and direct checkout links.
* **COD Order Verification & Anti-Return Shield:** Sends an automated 1-click order confirmation to the customer's WhatsApp right after checkout, reducing delivery rejections and return rates by up to 65%.
* **Zero Database Bloat:** Only saves actionable customer leads and orders; chat histories remain in native WhatsApp for maximum speed and privacy.
* **1-Click WhatsApp Deep Linking:** Allows store admins to start chats with customers directly from their phone with pre-filled order data.
* **Abandoned Cart Recovery:** Automatically reminds shoppers of items left behind with an optional promotional coupon.
