How it sells itself

No time to answer every product question, hunt down stock, or chase abandoned carts? Chatflo's AI chat reads your live Shopify data products, orders, customers, per-location stock to give shoppers accurate answers in seconds. When a sale needs a nudge, the bot creates a real, redeemable discount code on the spot. It knows what page the shopper is on and what's in their cart.

ChatMate is an AI customer service and sales assistant for online merchants. It answers product and order questions in real time, syncs store knowledge into chat, and keeps Email, Messenger, Instagram, and live chat in one inbox. Behavior-triggered cards help recover carts and recommend products, while human handoff handles complex cases with your team. Multilingual UI helps global teams sell confidently.

Key points
  • Live data: Answers product, order, and per-location stock questions accurately
  • Discount codes: Creates real, redeemable codes inside the conversation
  • Cart-aware: Adapts to what shoppers are viewing and what's in their cart
  • Team inbox: Hands off conversations to your team when the AI can't help

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 14, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
