AI sales agent for E-commerce Store — how it works
Your store's chat is where sales quietly die. A shopper lands on a product page at 11 p.m., asks "Is this in stock?" in the website widget or an Instagram DM — and by the time a rep replies in the morning, they've already bought from a marketplace. Online stores convert only a small fraction of visitors as it is, and mobile shoppers decide in stolen minutes — every unanswered question about stock, sizing, shipping, or returns is margin walking out the door. SL-CLAW is an ecommerce AI sales assistant that answers in seconds on your website widget, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Telegram — it qualifies the shopper, works the objection like a trained closer, and issues an invoice right in the conversation. One-time $300 for the bot, about $0.50 per dialog, no subscription.
Where sales usually get lost in this industry
- Shoppers ask "is it in stock?" in Instagram DMs at night — by morning they've already ordered from a marketplace.
- Website-chat questions about sizing, shipping, and returns pile up faster than one rep can clear them.
- Mobile shoppers won't wait ten minutes for a reply — they bounce, and they don't come back.
- Price-checkers say "it's cheaper on Amazon" and nobody is there to defend your offer in the moment.
- Carts get abandoned mid-checkout because a simple payment or delivery question went unanswered.
- Staffing chat coverage for nights, weekends, and sale spikes costs more than the orders it protects.
What the bot does in this industry
AI sales agent for E-commerce Store: matches products to the request, answers stock and shipping questions and takes the order and payment. It doesn't just log inquiries — it runs the conversation, qualifies the buyer, handles objections, and drives the deal to close.
- Matches products to the request
- Answers stock and shipping questions
- Takes the order and payment
Who is this for?
An online store owner losing inquiries in Instagram DMs and the website chat: shoppers ask about stock, shipping, and "can you do better on price" — and the rep can't answer fast enough.
Market at a glance
- ~$5.8T — Global retail e-commerce volume (2023) (Statista, E-commerce Worldwide Revenue)
- ~1.9% — Average online store conversion rate (IRP Commerce live benchmark)
- >50% of traffic is mobile — Mobile share of e-commerce traffic (Statista, Mobile Commerce Share of E-Commerce)
The math, honestly
- Example inputs (plug in your own numbers): 600 chats per month, $80 average order value, ~40% product margin (~$32 per order).
- AI usage is billed on the FULL chat volume, not just converted ones: 600 dialogs × ~$0.50 average = ~$300/month (real range $60–$600 at $0.10–$1.00 per dialog). No subscription.
- One-time cost: $300 for the bot, or $1,000 with guided implementation. The $20 activation credit covers roughly your first 40 dialogs.
- Break-even arithmetic: at ~$32 margin per order, about 10 additional completed orders per month cover the ~$300 in usage.
- Every closed order past break-even is margin you keep — and the bot is answering at 11 p.m. and on weekends, exactly when chats normally go cold.
- Compare against the alternative yourself: price out part-time human chat coverage for nights, weekends, and sale spikes in your own payroll numbers, then put that next to the bot's usage bill at this volume.
These are example inputs for your own math, not performance claims — we don't publish uplift percentages or invented case studies. Run the numbers with your real chat volume, AOV, and margin before you buy; the 14-day money-back guarantee means you can verify them on live traffic.
Drives the deal to the money — and doesn't drop it
Not an "inquiry received" auto-responder. It walks the customer from the first question all the way to "place an order" — and if they go quiet, it follows up on its own.
- Follows up to close: handles the last objections and calmly walks the customer to payment
- Comes back to cold leads — reminds without pressure until the customer buys or clearly declines
- Remembers the customer and chat history — recognizes them by name, budget, and past interests instead of starting from scratch
- Invoices, quotes, contracts, CRM or 1C integration — available as a separate implementation for your business
What else the AI sales agent can do
- Works in Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram, and the website chat widget — text and voice
- Understands voice messages and replies with voice — speech recognition and synthesis
- Detects the deal stage on its own and moves it forward — 7 stages to close
- Uncovers customer needs with the SPIN technique — asks the right questions
- Answers from your knowledge base — catalog, price list, PDFs, website
- Hands hot leads and tasks to your sales rep, alerts on "hot" stages
- Logs the lead in your CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive), creates tasks, and books meetings
- Understands English, Ukrainian, and Russian
- Picks the right AI "power" for the conversation complexity — cheaper on simple ones
FAQ
What if it doesn't work out — can I get a refund?
Yes — a 14-day money-back guarantee from the payment date. Not a fit? Contact support and we'll process the refund within 24 hours. Details are in the Terms of Service.
Will a subscription fee creep in over time?
There is no subscription fee at all. The agent is a one-time purchase ($300, one plan with everything included). After that you only pay for AI usage via the token. If the bot isn't talking, nothing is charged.
What if I can't set it up myself?
Self-service with the step-by-step guide works for most people — it deploys in about an hour. If you'd rather not deal with it, there's a Custom build from $2200: we tailor it to your business, set up integrations (CRM, 1C), load the knowledge base, and train your team.
How to set up the bot for E-commerce Store so it actually sells
- Connect your inventory — the agent only recommends products that are actually in stock.
- Set up upsell and bundle scenarios — the agent grows average order value right in the chat.
- Turn on the abandoned-cart flow — the hot lead comes back to a reminder and finishes the purchase.
Which systems can the bot connect to?
- HubSpot — CRM sync out of the box via webhook/API
- Pipedrive — CRM sync out of the box via webhook/API
- Shopify — order and lead handoff via webhook/API, configured during the $1,000 implementation; compatibility confirmed before you pay
- WooCommerce — webhook/API handoff, set up during implementation and verified before payment
- BigCommerce — webhook/API handoff, scoped during implementation with compatibility confirmed up front
- Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram, and website widget — native chat channels included with the bot
Does it work with Shopify?
Honestly: there's no one-click "Shopify button." Order and lead handoff to Shopify — and to WooCommerce or BigCommerce — is wired via webhook/API as part of the $1,000 guided implementation, and we confirm compatibility with your exact setup before you pay anything. HubSpot and Pipedrive CRM sync ships out of the box.
Can it actually take an order, or does it just chat?
It sells. The assistant qualifies the shopper with SPIN-style questions, answers stock, sizing, and shipping questions from your catalog data, and issues an invoice with a payment link right in the conversation — the shopper pays without leaving the thread. Delivery details are agreed on in the chat itself.
Which channels does it cover?
Your website widget, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Telegram — one assistant, one knowledge base, every channel. It also understands voice messages and replies with voice, which matters when mobile shoppers would rather talk than type.
What does it cost to run month to month?
About $0.50 per dialog on average (real range $0.10–$1.00 depending on length), billed on usage only — no subscription, no seat fees. You get a $20 credit at activation, which covers roughly your first 40 conversations.
How long does setup take?
The bot itself deploys in about an hour once your catalog, FAQ, and shipping/return policies are loaded. Guided implementation with support is $1,000; a fully custom build for complex stores starts at $2,200.
What if it doesn't fit my store?
There's a 14-day money-back guarantee. Put it on live traffic, read the transcripts, run your own numbers — if it's not earning its keep, you get your money back.
Do I own it, or am I locked into a platform?
You own it. The full code lives with you — no rented seat on someone else's SaaS. You still receive core engine updates, so the assistant keeps improving without you losing control.
Where do the leads and orders go?
Into your pipeline. HubSpot and Pipedrive are supported out of the box via webhook/API; handoff into other tools your store runs on is scoped and set up during implementation, with compatibility confirmed before payment.
