Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureCarti is an AI shopping assistant that sells for you 24/7. It’s far more than a chatbot. Like an in-store AI sales assistant, it reaches out when a shopper hesitates, makes personalized recommendations, compares products, and adds them to cart in chat. It learns your catalog, policies, and reviews to answer questions and close sales, flagging anything it can’t answer so you only fill it in once.
Olvio answers your customers like a salesperson in a store. On a product page, it explains the product, reassures and recommends the right option, which the customer adds to cart without leaving the conversation. On the contact page, it answers questions about shipping, returns and order tracking. Its answers come from your product pages, store pages and documents. The widget matches your store’s colors and font.
