Hostinger weekly product updates: Week 37, 2026
Last week brought updates across Hostinger Agent, Hostinger Ecommerce, Reach, our AI automation apps, and website deployments.
Here’s what shipped the week of September 7–11, 2026:
- Hostinger Agent now offers its full experience on WhatsApp, including skills, per-interaction credits, and Composio integrations.
- Hostinger Ecommerce added TikTok Shop as a sales channel, available first in Brazil.
- Reach forms now carry over when an AI Builder site switches from manual to agentic mode.
- Paperclip joined Hostinger’s AI automation apps, alongside OpenClaw, Hermes, and n8n.
- Websites can now deploy from GitLab, and Node.js apps can start from pre-built templates.
Here’s a closer look at each.
The full Hostinger Agent experience is now on WhatsApp
Hostinger Agent now offers its full experience on WhatsApp. Everything you can do with the agent elsewhere works over WhatsApp: running skills and seeing which skill is active, checking your credit usage per interaction and topping up, connecting Composio integrations, and getting responses formatted for WhatsApp.
The Hostinger Agent widget also has a new WhatsApp tab in the navigation panel. Scan the QR code with your phone to open the conversation in WhatsApp, or choose Chat on WhatsApp to open it on your current device.
You can also reply directly to any Hostinger account or service notification you receive on WhatsApp. Those notifications route through Hostinger Agent, so you can ask follow-up questions right there, without logging in to hPanel.
For the full picture, here’s an overview of Hostinger Agent’s features.
Sell on TikTok with the new TikTok Shop integration for Hostinger Ecommerce
Hostinger Ecommerce now supports TikTok Shop as a sales channel. Connect your TikTok Shop and sell your products directly on TikTok. The integration is available in Brazil first, with more markets coming soon.
It means you can reach shoppers where they already spend time and browse, rather than waiting for them to come to your store.

Reach forms now carry over when you switch from manual to agentic mode
AI Builder sites that use a Reach form can now switch from manual mode to agentic mode without losing the form.
During the switch, each existing Reach form is converted into a native form on the generated agentic site. The site stays connected to the Reach profile that owns those forms, so new submissions keep showing up in Reach as contacts.
Hostinger AI Builder also saves each submission in the site’s Data collection. So you can move a site to agentic mode without breaking your lead capture or losing the contacts you’ve already built up.
Here’s how to switch a site to agentic mode.
Paperclip joins the AI automation apps lineup
Paperclip is now the fourth app in Hostinger’s AI automation apps, alongside OpenClaw, Hermes, and n8n. You’ll find it on the AI automation apps landing page in hPanel, through a get-started card and the app picker, with a guided, step-by-step onboarding: set up admin credentials, wait for provisioning, choose an AI provider, and you’re done.
Provider setup is flexible. To power Paperclip, you can connect your own API keys, including the newly added Cursor key, or link a ChatGPT account. A dedicated dashboard in hPanel lets you manage your Paperclip app, view environments and logs, and access the CLI.
If you’re trying it out, our Paperclip getting-started guide covers the setup.
Deploy from GitLab and start Node.js apps from pre-built templates
You can now deploy websites at Hostinger from GitLab. Connect your GitLab repositories and use auto-deployments to publish changes on every push, just like with GitHub. It’s available for all website types except Node.js, which is coming soon.
There are also pre-built templates for Node.js web app deployments. Pick a template from the gallery and we’ll copy it into your GitHub repository, so you can keep developing it right away.
