Tidio, Drift, Intercom bots return canned answers
A static FAQ chatbot can't look up a Shopify order, check inventory in Shopify POS, or initiate a Loop Return. Shoppers ask once and leave.
Low chat conversion, abandoned cart spikes

The Problem
Gorgias Chat and Reamaze chat need humans
Gorgias Chat and Re:amaze chat queue to seats. Slow reply during BFCM kills conversion.
Linear cost-to-revenue, SLA breaches
Chat doesn't connect to voice, SMS, DM, marketplace
A web chat that doesn't know what the shopper said on Instagram DM or Amazon yesterday is broken. Conversation context fragments across tools.
Repeated questions, low CSAT
B2B Shopify chatbots are weak
Shopify B2B price tiers, net terms, custom quotes, and bulk availability aren't handled by generic chatbots.
Lost B2B deals, slow quote response
