The Doubts That Empty Baskets

Basket abandonment is usually blamed on price and postage, but a large share of it is simple uncertainty that nobody was around to resolve. Will this fit someone between two sizes. Does it arrive before the weekend. What happens if it is wrong. Is this the version that works with the one I already own. A shopper with an unanswered question of that kind does not email a store, they close the tab and buy from somewhere that answered it on the page. An ecommerce chatbot is on that page, at that second, with the answer. It matters that shopping happens in the evening, at weekends and on holidays, which is precisely when nobody is monitoring an inbox. It matters even more that the bot does not guess: it is instructed never to invent a delivery date, a stock level or a returns policy, because an invented promise costs you the order twice, once in the refund and once in the review. When a question falls outside what it knows, it takes the shopper’s details and emails you the whole conversation.

How It Works

Most people have a bot answering real questions on the same afternoon they start.

1

Give it your knowledge

Generate a starting knowledge base from your website, then edit it. Add your FAQ, your useful links and anything else the bot should know.

2

Set the voice and the rules

Choose the greeting, the tone and the person conversations should be handed to. The bot is instructed never to guess at anything you have not told it.

3

Paste the embed code

Drop one snippet into your site. The chat widget appears, answers around the clock, and emails you whenever a conversation needs a human.

Why It Works

Most questions asked on a website are the same twenty questions. Answering them instantly, at three in the morning, is worth more than it sounds.

Rescues the basket in the moment

The doubt appears seconds before the tab closes, which is the only moment an answer can still change anything.

Covers evening shopping

Most consumer buying happens outside working hours, which is when your support inbox is asleep.

The three usual suspects

Delivery, returns and sizing account for most pre-purchase questions, and all three are easy to document.

No invented promises

It will not guarantee a delivery date you never gave it, which is how a helpful bot becomes an expensive one.

FAQ

How does a chatbot reduce basket abandonment?

A large share of abandonment is unresolved uncertainty about delivery, returns or fit. Answering those questions in the moment they occur keeps the shopper on the page instead of sending them to a competitor who answered.

Can it see my product catalogue or stock levels?

It answers from the knowledge you give it rather than connecting to a live catalogue, so it is best for policies, guides, delivery information and general product knowledge. Order-specific questions are handed to you.

Will it promise a delivery date?

Only what you have told it. It is instructed never to invent dates, stock levels or policies, and to hand over rather than guess.

Does it work on my store platform?

Yes. The widget is a small embed snippet that works on any store or site that allows custom HTML.

Can it handle international shoppers?

Yes. It replies in the language the shopper writes in, which removes a real barrier for cross-border sales.
