How to Build an AI Chatbot for Your eCommerce Clients?


Did you know that by adding a chatbot on your online platform, up to 30% of customer support expenses can be cut? Conversational AI-powered chatbots can answer 80% or more of your customer questions and help users navigate through the site. They also collect important information from customers so they may complete transactions themselves.


What is an AI chatbot?

An artificial intelligence chatbot is a piece of software that has been programmed to have ‘chat’ with human users.


What is a conversational AI-powered chatbot?

Conversational AI-powered chatbots are the next stage in the evolution of chatbots. They can mimic the way humans communicate to understand and respond in natural language, recognizing speech patterns and expressions, comprehending context for words chosen by the speaker, and anticipating what might come next in a conversation.


Benefits of using conversational AI chatbot for your business

The future of customer service is conversational AI chatbots. They are becoming an increasingly popular way to engage with customers either directly on your website/online stores or social media sites. Chatbots are a great way for store owners to provide shoppers with helpful information and customer service. They can be integrated into your Shopify store in the form of a chat widget which will allow you to showcase all your products and services as well as answer any product, brand, or policy questions that may arise.


They also save you time by not having to constantly respond to messages from consumers who may be frustrated or need help finding something on your site.


Why are conversational AI chatbots gaining momentum amongst Shopify stores and online businesses?

With the rise of messaging apps and shoppers' preference to chat with brands, conversational AI chatbots are fast gaining momentum. A conversational AI chatbot can respond to customer queries in seconds while humans might take minutes or hours before responding which leads to some consumers feeling abandoned when their concerns go unanswered by human sales representatives.


It can also qualify potential buyers by calibrating their preferences based on things like social media accounts or past purchases-- this helps you reach out better knowing who would be interested before wasting time trying other avenues when there's already an open door at hand.


When to use a chatbot?

If your company/website/store processes hundreds/thousands of repetitive requests per day and spends a lot of resources on customer service, then it is time to automate.


If you’re a small to medium sized business that values every customer interaction but lacks the budget nor the human resources for 24/7 customer service, then a chatbot might be the answer.
