Industry · Garden centres & nurseries

Every plant question answered, even when you're out in the nursery.

MotherX learns your whole catalogue – stock, sizes, prices, shipping, opening hours – and answers customers instantly on your website, 24/7. Works with WordPress and WooCommerce. Set up in minutes.

The problem

Plenty of plants. Not enough hands.

A nursery with an online store gets the questions of a big retailer, with the staff of a small one.

🪴

800 products and a small team

Every plant comes in several sizes, with its own stock level, price and care needs. Nobody on the team can keep all of it in their head, and the customer expects someone to.

🧤

Questions arrive when staff are busy

Potting up, watering, serving the till, loading a trailer. The inbox fills while everyone is out in the nursery, and the answer goes out hours later, if at all.

🛒

Unanswered questions become lost sales

A customer who cannot find out whether the tree is in stock, how big it is or whether you deliver does not wait. They buy from whoever answers first.

In the chat

Answers from your own catalogue, not from a garden forum.

MotherX reads your product pages, shipping terms and opening hours, and answers from them. Ask about a plant in a size you do not stock and it says so, then suggests what you do have.

  • Stock, pot sizes and prices, straight from the product pages
  • Shipping rules for large plants and trees
  • Opening hours, gift vouchers and bookings
Customer
do you have the lemon tree in a bigger size?
MotherX
Yes. The lemon tree comes in two sizes: a 4 L pot at about 60 cm, and a 25 L pot at about 1.2 m. Both are in stock. Want me to link the larger one?
Customer
can you deliver the big one?
MotherX
Yes. Plants over 1 m go by courier and take 3–5 business days. You can also collect from the nursery, open every day from 9 to 5.
How it works

Three steps, set up in minutes.

01

Connect your website

Point MotherX at your website. It reads your product pages, shipping terms, opening hours and FAQ on its own, and keeps them in sync as they change.

02

Add chat and search

Install the WordPress plugin, or paste one small script. The chat and the search box are live on your site, answering customers around the clock.

03

See what customers ask

Every question is logged. The dashboard shows which plants people ask about, and which questions your website does not answer yet.

FAQ

Questions from nursery owners.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. For WordPress and WooCommerce there is a ready-made plugin, AnswerX, so you do not have to touch your theme. On other platforms it is one small script in the page template.

What if it gives a wrong answer?

It only answers from the sources you have connected. If the answer is not there, it says so and offers to pass the customer to a person rather than guessing. Every conversation is logged, so you can see what was said and fix the source.

Do I need a developer?

No. You connect your website and install the plugin or paste one script. Setup is included, and we help you get it running if you get stuck.

Can customers still talk to a person?

Yes. You decide when the chat should hand over to your team, and it can collect the customer's contact details so you can follow up when you are back inside.
