AI chatbot for arts, crafts and hobby supplies stores that closes sales
Craft shoppers ask which paint works on which surface, what is in a kit, which colors match across brands. The chat reads material and compatibility fields from your catalog and returns matches from your stock.

Questions your shoppers type every day
Real queries from arts, crafts & hobby supplies stores. The chat reads your product data, recommends the right item, and handles these questions without a human in the loop.
can I use this acrylic paint on fabric
what is included in this watercolor kit
is this yarn good for beginners
do you have the matching red in 100ml
Where arts, crafts & hobby supplies stores lose shoppers
Three pain patterns your category runs into, and what they cost you.
Surface and material compatibility
Shoppers ask which paint works on fabric, which marker writes on metal. Wrong material ruins the project, and a bad first project loses a customer.
Kit contents and consumables
Buyers want to know what is in the box, what is reusable, what they will need to re-order. Product descriptions rarely list it in one place.
Color and batch matching
A crafter half-way through a project needs the same red. Batch numbers, dye lots and cross-brand color names are confusing without help.
How Emporiqa fits this category
No scripted flows or FAQ training. The salesperson uses your product data.
Reads material and surface fields
If the product page states which surfaces a paint suits, the chat answers the shopper directly. No invented compatibility, no guessed surface match.
Kit content from descriptions
The chat returns what is in a kit, based on the product description. A shopper asks "what is in the box" and gets the full list.
Skill-level guidance
If products are tagged for beginner, intermediate or expert crafters, the chat filters matches and returns options in the shopper price range with direct links.
Color and stock lookup
A crafter asks if color 127 is in 100 millilitres. The chat returns the matching SKU and its stock, or the closest alternative from your catalog.

Questions store owners in this category ask us.
Does it work with WooCommerce for indie craft shops?
Yes. WooCommerce variations for color, size and set variant are read by the chat, including custom attributes for skill level.
What about PrestaShop for EU craft stores?
Supported. PrestaShop combinations and features for medium, surface and pack size sync in, with multilingual descriptions for EU buyers.
Can it handle large color catalogs on Magento?
Yes. Magento configurable products with hundreds of color SKUs are supported, and the chat returns the SKU by color name or code.
Does it give project instructions?
Only if the instructions are in your knowledge base. On Shopware or any backend, if the project guide is not published, the chat hands off instead of inventing steps.
Which platform do you run?
