Give online shoppers a WhatsApp path for ecommerce intake and support
WhatsApp chat can handle order status, returns, product FAQs, and cart-recovery assist where your team already messages online shoppers.
What is ecommerce whatsapp chat automation?
An ecommerce WhatsApp chat agent handles customer-started messaging for order status, returns, product FAQs, and cart-recovery assist, then escalates topics involving warranty rulings outside policy or payment disputes requiring humans to support and CX teams. Keep a familiar messaging channel for logistics without unsupervised advice.
