What is Zipchat®?
Zipchat AI is an intelligent customer service and sales chatbot designed specifically for Shopify stores. It acts as a 24/7 AI agent that handles everything from pre-sale questions to order management, cart recovery, and post-purchase support. The bot works seamlessly across your website, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and email — all in one place. It’s built to turn every conversation into a sales opportunity while reducing the burden on your human support team. No coding needed, and it learns from your products, policies, and FAQs over time.
What are the features of Zipchat®?
- Multi-Channel Presence: Works on your online store, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and email, keeping all conversations synced in one inbox.
