What is STRYD Assistant?
STRYD Assistant is a custom WordPress plugin built exclusively for the STRYD GH storefront. It turns the WooCommerce product management workflow into a fully AI-powered system — generating product names, SEO descriptions, tags, and pricing suggestions from a single product image, while also handling Telegram order notifications, stock alerts, performance tracking, and headless frontend routing.

STRYD Naming System
The AI follows STRYD's naming convention for all suggestions.
Tier 1 — Resold brands (Nike, Adidas, Gucci, etc.)
The [Name]
The [Name] — [Colourway]
- Name: One capitalised word naming the feeling or energy, never the feature
- Colourway: Evocative single word (Onyx not Black, Terrain not Green, Chalk not White)
- Example:
The Shadow — Onyx,The Luxe — Ocean,The Classic
Tier 2 — STRYD Originals (future)
STRYD Model [Number] — [Colourway]
- Example:
STRYD Model 01 — Forest,STRYD Model 02 — Chalk
The golden rule: Name the feeling, not the feature.

WooCommerce Order Number Format
STRYD uses custom order numbers configured separately via functions.php:
add_filter('woocommerce_order_number', function($order_id) {
return 'STRYD-' . str_pad($order_id, 3, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
}, 1, 1);
This is not part of the plugin — it lives in the theme's functions.php.
Headless Mode Notes
The plugin redirects all public WordPress requests to your Vercel frontend using a 307 temporary redirect. The following are never redirected (bypassed automatically):
/wp-admin/— admin panel/wp-json/— REST API (used by the Vercel frontend to fetch products)/wp-login.php— login page/wc-api/— WooCommerce webhooks/?wc-ajax=— WooCommerce AJAX (cart, checkout)- WordPress cron and REST requests
Telegram Integration Notes
- The
includes/whatsapp.phpfilename is kept for code compatibility — it handles Telegram, not WhatsApp - Supports multiple chat IDs (comma-separated) in the Chat ID field
- Notifications fire on
woocommerce_order_status_processingandwoocommerce_order_status_completed - Duplicate notification protection: once sent per order, stored in order meta as
_stryd_telegram_sent - Debug logging active when
