Install on WordPress and WooCommerce

Download the plugin with your site ID and store key already filled in, upload it, activate. About two minutes.

The WordPress plugin enforces your block rules on the server, before a page renders: an agent you blocked in /app gets a plain-text 403, and people and search engines get the normal page. On WooCommerce it also sends the orders that came from an AI agent, so /app can count them.

Requirements: WordPress 6.0+, PHP 8.0+, WooCommerce 8.0+ for the store features.

Steps

  1. Go to /start, pick WooCommerce and sign in (the first sign-in creates your account).
  2. Click Download the plugin. The ZIP already holds your site ID, and your store key when the store is new. Keep the ZIP private.
  3. In WordPress open Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, upload the ZIP and click Activate. The settings fill in on activation.
  4. Open WooCommerce > Ostia. Mode starts on Observe only: visits are recorded and nothing changes for visitors. Leave it a week, then switch to On.

If you added the store before and the ZIP has no key, paste the store key you saved into the Store key field. It is used server-side only and is never shown again.

Blocking agents

On each request that names an AI agent, the plugin asks the network for your store's rules. A blocked agent gets an HTTP 403 with a short plain-text note: this store does not accept visits from this automated agent. Nothing is hidden in the page and no page is rewritten.

  • People and search engines (Google, Bing, Apple and the like) are never blocked.
  • The check has a half-second limit. If it is slow or fails, the visit is allowed.
  • The rules are the ones you set in /app > Block or allow. Observe only mode does not change this: use your rules to choose.

Pages the plugin adds

  • /llms.txt for AI assistants,
  • a product feed for agents.

If those pages answer 404, open Settings > Permalinks and click Save once.

No WooCommerce?

On a plain WordPress site, the script tag works too: paste it with any header/footer code plugin, or in your theme's footer.php before </body>.

Uninstall

Deactivate and delete the plugin. Its settings are removed. Order notes it added stay on past orders.
