Yes, when each product has a translation attribute set on its WooCommerce listing. The bot reads ESV, NIV, NASB, NLT, CSB, KJV, NKJV, NABRE, Douay-Rheims, RSV-CE, NRSV, JPS, and any others you tag. When a customer asks for a specific translation, the bot filters to in-stock copies in that translation. When the customer is undecided, the bot can explain the practical difference (formal vs dynamic equivalence, reading level, study features) at the level appropriate for a bookstore conversation rather than a seminary class.

Yes. The system prompt sets the store's primary tradition (Catholic, Reformed Protestant, evangelical, Orthodox, Messianic, etc.) as the default, so a Catholic bookstore's bot won't recommend a Calvinist commentary as a top pick to a customer who didn't ask for one. When customers identify their own tradition in conversation, the bot narrows further. The tradition awareness applies to commentary, devotional, children's, and theology categories most strongly, where doctrinal differences actually matter to the buyer.

Yes. SleekAI reads WooCommerce product data including _stock, _stock_status, _price, _sale_price, and _backorders. Stock and pricing in the chat reflect the same numbers the product page shows, so there's no "in stock per the bot, sold out at checkout" mismatch. For made-to-order items like Bible covers or imprinted journals, the bot quotes lead time from the product description.

When a customer wants a title you don't stock, the bot collects author, title, ISBN if known, format preference, customer name, contact info, and any deadline (Easter, baptism gift, etc.). The structured request lands in a custom post type or routes through the JS API to your inventory team. Your staff confirms availability and pricing with the publisher, then contacts the customer with an answer, typically same-day. The bot does not commit to a price or a delivery date the store can't actually meet.

Yes, when each children's product has a reading-level or age-range attribute. The bot matches age, tradition, and gift-occasion (baptism, first communion, dedication, Sunday school graduation, Christmas). A grandparent shopping for a five-year-old grandson who's just been baptized gets matched to age-appropriate, tradition-appropriate storybook Bibles and devotionals from current stock rather than a generic "top sellers" list.

Only if you tell it to. By default the system prompt is configured for honest matching: the right book for the customer at a fair price point. You can configure it to surface premium options when the customer signals gift-giving ("this is for my pastor's ordination"), but the bot won't upsell a $200 premium-leather Bible to a college student looking for a beater study Bible to carry to class. Honest matching builds repeat customers; chasing AOV with a chatbot generally doesn't.

Yours. SleekAI is bring-your-own-key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or OpenRouter, and the model bills you directly with no per-message markup. For a single-store religious bookstore the monthly model cost is usually $8 to $30 in actual API usage. GPT-4o-mini is the typical pick for catalog-recommendation use cases. GPT-4o or Claude Sonnet for higher quality on study-Bible nuance and tradition-specific recommendations where doctrinal accuracy matters.

It answers factual questions about a book (what tradition the author writes from, what topics the book covers, what other reviewers have said when reviews are on the product page) but it does not become a theology tutor. "What's the difference between a Calvinist and an Arminian view of election?" is not a chatbot question, and the bot routes it to a clergy conversation or to the relevant theology section of your store. The line keeps the bot useful as a buying assistant rather than overreaching into pastoral or scholarly territory it can't responsibly hold.
