Conversational commerce questions

The practical boundaries before you design the journey.

What is conversational commerce?

Conversational commerce helps a customer discover, choose, buy and get support through a two-way messaging conversation. The conversation stays connected to the product, order and support context behind it.

Is conversational commerce the same as a chatbot?

No. A chatbot can answer or collect information, but conversational commerce covers the full customer journey. It can combine automation, a human team, product data, checkout and post-purchase support.

Can a customer pay from WhatsApp?

A business can share a secure merchant-owned checkout link in the WhatsApp conversation. The order should be confirmed only after the payment provider verifies the payment.

Does conversational commerce replace an online store?

Not necessarily. It can work with an existing store, catalog and checkout while giving customers a faster way to ask questions, make choices and get help before or after a purchase.

Can conversational commerce recover an abandoned cart?

Yes, when the business still has permission to message the customer and can verify that the cart, price and availability are current. The reminder should reopen the saved order rather than ask the customer to start again.
