The AI shopping assistant that answers, recommends and sells for your Shopify store
Vanchat answers comparison, sizing, returns and order-status questions from your real catalogue and policies, which the vendor pegs at roughly 97% of incoming shopper queries.
The assistant reads preferences, browsing and purchase history to recommend the most suitable product and can ask clarifying follow-ups before suggesting anything.
Cart abandonment and discount triggers are used to send timely reminders and surface best-selling or complementary products through pop-ups and in-chat prompts.
Beyond answering, Vanchat can check an order, update it or add a product to the cart based on what the shopper asks for.
