4shops.ai Makes Selling on Facebook Messenger Less Complicated

— May 30, 2017 — Business
Based in Ukraine, this SaaS startup makes selling on Facebook Messenger easier for ecommerce companies. 4shops.ai enables you to "transfer your store into Messenger bot" and monetize Facebook's 1.5 billion users without having to do any coding. They claim retail bots are the next level of mobile apps and act as a replacement for 1-800 numbers. Bots have been used widely as a customer service tool in a number of industries.

4shops.ai offers a number of features such as pre-made bot templates, scheduled messages, Paypal and stripe payments as well as deep analytics. You can start selling on Facebook Messenger with your ecommerce bot in three simple steps: pick your Facebook Page, connect your API and customize and publish content.
Trend Themes
1. Ecommerce Bots - Utilizing chatbots for ecommerce sales provides the opportunity to reach billions of Facebook users without the need for complicated coding, creating a new market for ecommerce services.
2. Messenger Sales - Using Facebook Messenger to communicate with customers and complete sales creates a new avenue for ecommerce businesses to reach and engage users, offering endless opportunities for expansion.
3. Automated Customer Service - Bots offer an alternative to traditional call centers, providing customers with an accessible and responsive customer service experience and creating potential for savings in staff costs for businesses.
Industry Implications
1. Ecommerce - Online retailers can utilize chatbots to reach more customers through Facebook Messenger, expanding their market share and boosting their sales potential.
2. Customer Service - Bots can revolutionize the way companies provide customer service, by offering round-the-clock assistance and fast response times without the need for human intervention.
3. Software - As more companies look to offer bespoke bot creation services or develop bot templates for specific industries, software startups have an opportunity to grow and capture a share of the emerging bot market.
