Why Ecommerce Websites Lose Sales Without an AI Chatbot
Cart abandonment rates average 70% across ecommerce. The majority of that abandonment happens because buyers have unresolved questions — about sizing, shipping, returns, or product compatibility.
An AI chatbot for ecommerce intercepts these moments and converts hesitation into confidence.
Top Ecommerce Questions AI Chatbots Handle
- "Does this fit a size 12?"
- "How long will delivery take to [location]?"
- "Can I return this if it does not fit?"
- "Is this compatible with [other product]?"
- "Do you have this in blue?"
- "What is your warranty policy?"
Every one of these is a conversion opportunity being lost to silence.
