Frequently asked questions
- What can an SMS chatbot do for ecommerce stores?
- Two-way AI text messaging that answers questions, confirms details and follows up by SMS, which is useful when customers won't install an app or open email. For ecommerce stores, common starting points are order tracking and delivery questions; returns, exchanges and policy questions; product recommendations and sizing or compatibility help.
- Does it work with the tools ecommerce stores already use?
- Yes — the goal is to fit around Shopify, WooCommerce and other storefronts, shipping carriers and help desks, not replace them. SMS runs through a carrier-registered number and syncs replies to your CRM, scheduling or ticketing system.
- How long does rollout take?
- Business texting in the US requires carrier registration (10DLC) and clear opt-in, so setup covers number registration and consent language as well as the conversation design.
- How is seasonal peaks handled?
- An assistant scales with traffic, so promotions and holidays don't require temporary support staff to keep response times reasonable.
