The Show products action allows you to display your Shopify offerings as interactive product cards in the chat.
Product photos help recreate the in-store experience and keep customers engaged. ChatBot lets you cleverly use them in your chatbot conversation on your Shopify store. The Show products action for Shopify lets you display selected items as product cards in chat. Each card includes a picture, description, and button. The cards can help you draw the customer’s attention to your promo offers, for example. They also let you funnel the customer directly to the product page. By using the Show products action, you can shorten the sale cycle and increase your conversion rates.
