Question 1

How does Zipchat drive more sales compared to a chatbot?

Accepted Answer

Zipchat takes action, not just conversation. It recommends products based on what customers need, handles objections in real-time, creates personalized discount codes, and guides shoppers step-by-step toward purchase. Traditional chatbots only answer questions. Zipchat actively sells, which is why brands see measurable increases in conversion rates and average order value.

Question 2

What is Conversational Agentic Commerce?

Accepted Answer

It's AI that doesn't just chat, it acts. Conversational Agentic Commerce means the AI can create discount codes, pull order status, recommend products, and complete tasks without human help. Instead of passing customers to another page or person, it handles the entire interaction from question to purchase in one conversation.

Question 3

How long does setup take, and do I need coding skills?

Accepted Answer

Setup takes 5-10 minutes. For Shopify stores, install the app and you're live. For other platforms, paste one code snippet into your site header. No coding knowledge required. Most brands go live the same day they sign up.

Question 4

Is Zipchat secure and compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Zipchat uses bank-level encryption and follows GDPR, CCPA, and platform-specific privacy standards. We don't store unnecessary customer data, and all information is protected. Your customers' privacy and your brand's security are built into the platform from day one.

Question 5

Which platforms does Zipchat support?

Accepted Answer

Zipchat works on your website, whether it's on Shopify or any other CMS (Woocommerce, Magento, Wix, Webflow, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, etc.) via a lightweight script. It can also be deployed in WhatsApp Business API, Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger, and email. All platforms share the same AI brain, so your customers get consistent, intelligent responses no matter where they reach you.

Question 6

What languages does Zipchat support?

Accepted Answer

Zipchat supports any language and automatically detects what language your customer is speaking. It responds naturally in their preferred language without any setup on your end.

Question 7

Are there additional costs beyond the Zipchat AI plans?

Accepted Answer

Currently, we only charge for the standard Zipchat AI plans, with no hidden fees or extra costs. However, in the future, we may introduce additional charges for new features or advanced functionalities. If you join today, you lock in all current features at no extra cost, ensuring you continue to get the most value from Zipchat AI without any additional fees.

Question 8

What happens if the AI Agent can't solve a customer request?

Accepted Answer

Zipchat hands off to your team automatically with full conversation context included. The customer doesn't have to repeat themselves, and your agent sees everything discussed so far. This keeps the experience smooth and professional while ensuring complex issues get human attention.

Question 9

How does the AI Agent improve over time?

Accepted Answer

The AI learns from every conversation, your product catalog updates, brand guidelines you add, and customer behavior patterns. Over time, it gets better at recommending the right products, answering edge-case questions, and understanding what works best for your audience. You can also train it with new FAQs or policies anytime.

Question 10

What makes Zipchat different from a normal AI chatbot?

Accepted Answer

Zipchat doesn't just chat - it acts. It can pull real-time order data, generate discount codes, recommend products from your catalog, and execute tasks without sending customers to another page. It's an AI agent, not just a conversational interface.

Question 11

Do I need a team to reply to customer messages?

Accepted Answer

Not for most conversations. Zipchat handles 90%+ of inquiries automatically, with some merchants getting close to 99%. Your team only needs to step in for complex issues, special requests, or when a customer specifically asks for human help. You can cut support costs significantly.

Question 12

Do I need a demo to complete the setup?

Accepted Answer

No, Zipchat AI offers an easy-to-follow video tutorial and step-by-step guide, so you can set it up yourself in minutes. The account has step-by-step actions to do, otherwise you can also check our docs. Moreover, we offer a free, included, onboarding call with all new merchants. Our team will gladly help you set Zipchat AI up.
