What you need
| What | How to check |
|---|---|
| WordPress 6.5 or newer | In your WordPress dashboard, Dashboard > Updates shows your version. |
| PHP 8.1 or newer | Tools > Site Health > Info > Server. If yours is older, your host can usually switch it with one click. |
| Site on HTTPS | Your address starts with https://. Claude connects only over HTTPS. |
| An address reachable from the internet | Claude connects to your site over the internet. A site that only runs on your own computer can't connect. |
| A Claude account | Any Claude account works, free too. Create one at claude.ai. |
| A WordPress administrator account | You need to be able to open Plugins and add a plugin. |
| WooCommerce 8.0 or newer | Only if you run a shop. Without WooCommerce, TellMyShop works with posts, pages, SEO and media. |
Which version to choose
- TellMyShop Audit is free. Claude reads your site and prepares a plan of fixes, but saves nothing.
- TellMyShop (paid) does everything the Audit does and also saves changes: always with a preview, after your "yes" and with the option to undo.
The differences, and how to move from the Audit to the full version, are on the Audit and licence page.
A tip before you start
Back up your site. If your host offers a test copy (staging), start there. Test copies don't use up your licence.
Works with your SEO plugin
If you use Yoast SEO, Rank Math or SEOPress, Claude saves meta titles and descriptions right there. You don't need to move anything.
Next step: Install the plugin
