AI Chatbot Features That Close Sales

The online salesperson that recommends products, handles objections, and walks shoppers to checkout. Product discovery, comparison, cart, support, order tracking — on every plan. Here's what you get.

Built for Your Platform

A real plugin for your store, not a script tag scraping your page HTML. It reads your catalog the way your platform does — variants, translations, per-channel pricing, stock per warehouse. Your store stays fast; the AI runs on our side.

Product Discovery

Traditional keyword search fails when shoppers type “gift for dad,” “warme Jacke für Wandern,” or “something red for a dinner party.” Emporiqa finds the right products even when shoppers describe them vaguely, and still catches exact terms like SKU numbers and brand names.

Meaning + Exact Match

Matches products by what shoppers mean ("something warm for hiking" finds insulated jackets) and by exact terms (SKU numbers, brand names). Results are ranked by relevance.

Cross-Language Search

A shopper asks in German, finds products in your English catalog. No extra translation service needed, it works across languages automatically.

Product Recommendations

"I need a gift for someone who likes cooking" → relevant products from your catalog, matched by meaning.

Visual Search: Search by Photo or Image

Shoppers upload a photo or take one with their phone camera, and the chat finds the closest product in your catalog. Useful when they've seen a style on social, snapped a picture in a store, or want to search by image instead of typing a description. The chatbot describes what's in the picture and matches it against your synced products. No extra tags or image labels needed.

Product Comparison

Shoppers paralyzed between two options don't buy. Ask "compare these two" and the salesperson returns a side-by-side table with specs, prices, and a recommendation tied to how the shopper said they'd use it.

Side-by-Side Specs Table

Product images, prices, and the attributes that matter for the category — RAM, battery, camera, weight, warranty. Lowest price highlighted.

Picks a Winner for Their Need

Not a neutral spec dump. If the shopper mentioned photography, it picks the winner on camera; if they said sensitive skin, it picks on ingredients; if they mentioned daily commuting, it picks on weight. Reasoning tied to how they'll use it.

Closes Into the Cart

After the comparison, it asks "Want me to add one to your cart?" — comparison leads somewhere, not a dead end.

Handles Objections. Closes Sales.

Online salesperson responding to a 'cheaper on Amazon' objection — defends value with verified in-stock units and direct support, offers to swap the iPhone 15 Pro Max for the Xiaomi 14 Pro alternative, and offers to connect with a team member

Most chatbots hand shoppers a link when they push back on price or stall. The salesperson reframes the value, keeps the conversation moving, and proposes a concrete next step.

Value Reframing, Not Price Matching

"That's cheaper on Amazon" gets a direct answer — what the shopper gets by buying here (direct support, verified stock, clear returns) instead of a silent link to a product page.

Common Objections Covered

Price, shipping speed, authenticity (“is this real leather?”), fit (“will this shade match me?”), return policy, “let me think about it.” Handled with language tied to your policies, not generic scripts.

Always Proposes a Next Step

Closes every response with a concrete action — check availability, add to cart, walk to checkout. No fence-sitting, no dead-end replies.

Customer Support

Chat widget on a store answering questions about payment methods and student discounts

The chat reads your store pages and answers shopper questions from your own content. Shipping policies, return windows, payment methods, size guides, ingredient lists, discount rules. No manual FAQ setup needed.

Policy & FAQ Lookup

Answers come from your own pages. Sync your store's CMS pages and the salesperson uses them to respond to policy questions.

Specialized Agents

The chat knows whether your shopper is asking about a product, a policy, or an order, and responds accordingly.

65+ Languages

Shoppers ask in their language, get answers in their language. The widget interface is translated too.

Order Tracking

Shoppers check order status directly in the chat. They give their order number and email, the salesperson returns status, items, prices, and delivery details without sending them to a separate tracking page.

Order Lookup in Chat

Shopper provides order number + email. Salesperson returns status, placement date, items, quantities, prices, and total.

Verified Before Disclosing

The salesperson checks that the order number matches the email before returning details. No anonymous order lookups.

CSAT Ratings

Post-chat thumbs up/down rating. Aggregate scores on your dashboard. Low-rated conversations flagged for review.

Human Handoff

When the shopper asks for a person or the salesperson hits a question it can't confidently answer, it hands off to your team. Contact details are collected upfront so follow-up doesn't stall.

Shopper Can Ask for a Human Anytime

"Can I talk to a person?" opens the handoff queue immediately. No hoops, no retry prompts.

Confidence-Based Auto-Handoff

When the salesperson isn't sure, it offers human assistance rather than guessing. Your team gets the full conversation context.

Contact Details Collected Upfront

Email, phone, or other — asked at handoff so your team can follow up later even if the shopper leaves the page.

Conversion & Cart

Shoppers compare products, add them to cart, and check out without leaving the chat window. Proactive triggers engage browsers before they leave, and conversion tracking shows which chats led to sales.

In-Chat Cart

Add products, remove items, update quantities, view cart, and clear cart — all inside the chat. When the shopper is ready to pay, the widget sends them to your store's checkout. Your store keeps full control: all your promotions, stock limits, and rules still apply.

Proactive Triggers

Engage shoppers based on behavior: time on page, scroll depth, pages browsed, checkout page, and exit intent. Target all visitors, new visitors only, or returning visitors. Three default templates, fully configurable, rate-limited to avoid being annoying. Set how long the popup stays visible before auto-closing (5-300 seconds, default 15).

Conversion Tracking

Full funnel: chat session → cart add → checkout → purchase. Revenue attribution shows exactly how much money came through chat conversations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does setup take, and is it included?

All plans include setup. You install the plugin, enter your API key, sync your catalog, and drop the widget on your store. Platform-specific docs walk you through each step. Time depends on your catalog size and platform familiarity.

Will it slow down my store?

No. The plugin on your store listens for catalog changes and forwards them to us. All AI processing, search, and conversation happens on our servers. Your checkout and product pages keep their current speed.

What happens when the chatbot can't answer?

It hands off to your team with the full conversation history. If the shopper agrees, it also collects their contact details (email or phone) so your team can follow up even if the shopper leaves the page.

What if it makes up an answer or quotes the wrong policy?

Answers come from your catalog and your store pages — not the open internet. If the salesperson isn't confident, it says so and hands off rather than guessing. Every conversation is saved and low-rated chats are flagged on your dashboard, so you review any edge case before it becomes a complaint.

What if Emporiqa has an outage, does it break my store?

No. The widget loads asynchronously from our servers. If we're unreachable, the chat bubble doesn't appear. Your storefront, product pages, and checkout keep working normally. The plugin on your store only listens for catalog changes; it doesn't run any customer-facing logic.

Do I pay extra for AI model usage?

No. Your plan covers AI model costs. You don't bring your own API key, you don't manage token budgets, you don't get a separate AI bill. One subscription covers everything.

Does it work in languages other than English?

Yes, 65+ languages. A shopper types in German, gets answers in German, even if your catalog is in English. The widget interface translates too. No extra translation service needed.

Can shoppers search with a photo? (Visual search / image search)

Yes. The chatbot supports visual search. Shoppers can upload a photo or take a picture with their phone, and the chatbot finds the closest match in your catalog. Works for anything a shopper might snap: a style they saw on social, a product they spotted elsewhere, a picture of what they want. The image is described automatically and matched against your synced products, so no extra tagging or image labels are required. Accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF up to 5 MB.

Is my conversation data used to train AI models?

No. Conversations are not used for model training. Retention is configurable on your end. We're an EU company operating under GDPR.
