Shopware shop for cycling accessories, Sunday, 9:12 pm

The situation

When the filter doesn't help

Sunday, 21:10. A mother is looking for a cycle helmet for her son, head circumference 54 centimetres, no more than 60 euros. The shop has a children's helmets category with lots of models. The sizes on the product pages are written differently each time, sometimes as S, sometimes as 52–56.

She opens five product pages in five tabs, compares, loses track. Then she wonders whether the helmets can take a rear light and can't find anything about it.

In the chat she simply writes what she's after. The shopping assistant searches the catalogue, shows the helmets that fit and are in stock, and answers the question about the light from the product description. If there's nothing there, it says so.

In detail

What you get

Searching the live catalogue, not a copy

With the Shopware or Shopify connection, the bot searches your catalogue live for every question. Whatever you change in the shop applies in the chat straight away. In Shopware it also knows variants and stock levels in real time.

Customers can combine what would otherwise take three filters: “What have you got in blue under 50 euros?” works just as well as “helmet for 54 cm head”.

  • Live search in Shopware and Shopify
  • Size, colour and price combined
  • Real-time variants and stock in Shopware

Product cards with image, price and buy button

Results appear right in the chat as product cards with an image, price and buy button. Getting from the conversation to the basket is one click.

If your shop runs on a different system, the bot reads your product pages by URL and keeps them current through automatic re-crawling. It can then answer general product questions too, but without product cards or live stock levels.

Advice from your product data and guides

Besides the catalogue, the bot uses everything else you give it: size charts, care instructions, buying guides, your shipping page. So it can also explain how a model fits or how to measure head circumference, if that's in your material.

It doesn't invent product features. If the description says nothing about waterproofing, it won't either. The quality of the advice depends directly on the quality of your product data.

It replies in the language the customer writes in. A question in Dutch gets a Dutch answer, even if your product data is in German.

  • Size charts and care instructions
  • No invented product features
  • Replies in the customer's language

When a person is needed

For a bulk order, a special request or a question that goes deeper than your product texts, the bot hands over to your team. You reply in the inbox and see the whole history, including the products the customer has already looked at.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often about this topic.

Do I have to maintain my catalogue in My-Chatify?

No. With the Shopware or Shopify connection, the bot searches your shop directly. You keep managing prices and products there.

Can customers buy straight from the chat?

The product cards have a buy button, so getting from the chat to the basket is one click. Payment happens in your shop.

Does the bot know whether an item is in stock?

In Shopware, yes: it knows variants and stock levels in real time. With other systems, it only knows what's on the product pages it has read.

What if a customer is looking for something we don't sell?

The bot says so rather than talking up an unsuitable product. The analytics show what people ask for most often, which can sometimes be a pointer for your range.

Can I use the assistant on Instagram as well?

Yes. From the Professional plan, the same assistant also answers messages on Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger. All conversations land in the same inbox.
