WooCommerce Store Owner Needed — 1-Hour Paid Beta Test

I'm looking for ~10 WooCommerce store owners to test a new analytics plugin called Exanta AI before its public launch.

What Exanta does, in one sentence: it lets you ask questions about your store in plain English (e.g. "What were my top sellers last month?" or "Which products have the highest return rate?") and instantly returns answers, charts, and the SQL behind them — no technical knowledge required.

Want to see exactly what's involved before you apply? The 5-minute walkthrough is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1P_UEYaYSs

What you'll do (60 minutes total):

1. Watch a 5-minute walkthrough video.
2. Register a free account at exanta.ai.
3. Download and install the plugin on your WooCommerce store (live or staging — your choice).
4. Run a one-time database structure scan (this only reads the shape of your database — table names and column names — never your actual data; details below).
5. Ask 5–10 questions about your store and review the answers.
6. Complete a short feedback questionnaire (about 10 minutes).

What you get:

£35 paid via PeoplePerHour on completion.
Free Pro-tier access to the plugin (100 questions/month) for the full beta period.

Requirements (must-haves)

- You own or manage a WooCommerce store (v8 or higher).
- At least 3 months of order history in the store (so the AI has something to analyse).
- You can install a WordPress plugin (upload zip → activate) without help.
- Reliable internet, a computer (not phone), and ~1 hour of uninterrupted time.

Privacy & data — please read
This is the bit that matters most, and I want to be upfront about it.
The plugin connects to your WooCommerce database. During the one-time setup it generates a structural map of your database — table names, column names, and relationships. It does not copy, transmit, or store your actual customer, order, or product data during this step.
When you ask a question, the question itself plus the database structure (no data) is sent to our backend, which writes a SQL query and runs it locally inside your WordPress install. The aggregated results — typically counts, totals, and averages — are then returned to you and logged on our side for product improvement.
If you'd be more comfortable testing on a staging copy of your store, we strongly encourage that, but that staging store MUST have at least 3 months of data.
A signed beta agreement covering this is provided when you accept.

Deliverables
To get paid, you need to:

Successfully complete the install and run at least 5 questions through the plugin.
Submit the feedback questionnaire with substantive answers (not single words). The most valuable feedback is in the open-text questions — please take the time to give thoughtful answers about what worked, what didn't, and what questions you'd want to ask if you used this every day.
Report any bugs you encounter through the questionnaire or via PPH

If something goes wrong during the test (an error, a step doesn't work), that's still useful — flag it in the questionnaire and you'll still get paid. I just need genuine engagement with the test, not a perfect run.

A note on fees and payment
The £35 fee is FIXED AND NON NEGOTIABLE. Please don't apply quoting a higher figure or planning to renegotiate after acceptance — those proposals will be skipped automatically and reported to PPH.
Payment is processed exclusively through PeoplePerHour's escrow system. I will not pay via bank transfer, PayPal, crypto, or any other off-platform method, and I won't move communication off-platform either. This is for our mutual protection.

How to apply
In your proposal, please include:

- The URL of your WooCommerce store (live or staging — staging is fine).
- Your WooCommerce version and roughly how many orders per month you process.
- Whether you have HPOS enabled (it's fine either way — both are supported).
- A sentence or two on why you're interested.

I'm prioritising applicants who give me enough information to confirm fit on the first message. Vague applications ("I'm interested, please send details") will be skipped — sorry, but with ~10 spots I need to filter quickly.
Looking forward to your applications.
