Question

What does the AI assistant answer if the product the customer wants is out of stock?

Answer

It says that the product is out of stock according to the sync, and offers a similar product or a back-in-stock alert by email. It only gives an arrival date if it is in the knowledge base.

The answer in detail

The assistant answers on stock from the stock sync, which with Shoprenter, UNAS and WooCommerce is updated together with the product data. With other websites, it gets its information by scanning the product page.

Before answering it clarifies which product and which size the customer means. If the product is out of stock, it offers similar products, or a back-in-stock alert to the customer’s email address.

It only gives an arrival date if it is in the knowledge base. If there is no information on the expected arrival, it hands the question off to a colleague and asks for the customer’s contact details.

What you need to upload

  • product pages with size and colour variants
  • similar products by category
  • how back-in-stock alerts work
  • expected arrivals, if known
