How it looks to your shoppers

Carti opens with a question about the page the shopper is on, and the conversation carries on from there.

1. Carti speaks up at the right moment

The Carti chat on an example coffee store, opened by itself while a shopper lingers on a product page. Carti asks what roast they usually drink and offers four replies to tap.
A shopper is weighing up a product, so the chat opens by itself with one question about what they like and a few replies to tap.

2. They tap, and Carti helps

After the shopper taps Medium, Carti suggests the House Blend, a smooth medium roast rated 4.8 from 236 reviews and on sale for $18, and shows its product card.
The shopper taps a reply and Carti answers from your product details, quoting ratings when a reviews app is connected. If another product fits better, it says so.

Why shoppers welcome it

It's about what they're looking at

Carti's opener is about the product or cart in front of the shopper, and it stays quiet on checkout and account pages.

No fake urgency

Carti never makes up urgency. It mentions low stock only when your inventory says so. Shoppers can trust what it tells them.

Help with the cart, now and next visit

If a shopper adds to cart and keeps browsing, Carti checks in to help them finish. When they come back, Carti welcomes them back to their cart.

Setup: on from day one

  2. Switch on the Carti app embed in your theme editor and click Save. Proactive messages start with recommended settings.

  3. Open Triggers in your Carti dashboard whenever you want to change which moments Carti speaks up on, or how soon.

Common questions

Will proactive messages annoy my shoppers?

No. Carti speaks up sparingly, never on checkout or account pages, and each message is about what the shopper is looking at. You can switch most moments off or make Carti wait longer before it speaks up.

Who writes the messages?

Carti writes each opener to fit the page the shopper is on, so there's nothing for you to write. For shoppers heading for the exit, you can add an optional discount line with your own code and text.

Can Carti follow up after a shopper leaves?

Through Klaviyo, if you use it. Carti shares chat activity with it, so your own flows can follow up with shoppers Klaviyo already knows. Back on your store, Carti welcomes returning shoppers to their cart.

Do proactive messages use up my AI conversations?

A proactive message on its own doesn't. It counts toward your plan's monthly AI conversations once the shopper replies and Carti answers. If you reach your plan's limit, proactive messages pause until the next cycle or an upgrade.

Will Carti offer discounts to hesitant shoppers?

Only if you set one up. Carti shares only the codes you choose to offer, and the exit discount line stays off until you turn it on and add your own code.

Help hesitant shoppers before they leave

Carti speaks up at the right moment and answers from your store, around the clock.
