Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMatter Chat answers your storefront's questions using your own pages. Shipping, returns, materials, sizing: it reads what you've already written and puts the source page under every answer, so shoppers can check it themselves. If your content doesn't cover a question, it says so. No guessing. The question goes on a to-write list so you can see what shoppers keep asking that your store never answers.
Shoppers ask questions before they buy, and many leave rather than wait for an email reply. StoreMind reads your product catalog and answers those questions on the page, in the shopper's own language, by text or by voice. You control what it says. Add your own answers for shipping, returns and sizing, and write rules it must follow.
- Cited answers from your own pages — shoppers can check every claim
- Honest refusals, logged as a ranked list of content to write
- Pre-sale questions become leads with the conversation attached
- One-toggle theme app embed — no theme code, clean uninstall
- Answers product questions using your own catalog, not generic web knowledge
- Shoppers can speak their question and hear the answer read back
- Order lookup by order number and email, without leaving the page
- Add your own questions, answers and rules to control what it says
