Conversational commerce: from the first message to the purchase.
Conversational commerce is selling through a conversation: the customer asks, gets recommendations, builds the order and pays over chat, with no forms and no waiting. With AI, that conversation happens 24/7 on every channel and learns from every customer to personalize the next one.
How conversational commerce works
From the ad to the paid order, in a single conversation.
- 01
The customer arrives.
From an ad, your website or a direct message.
- 02
Asks.
The agent answers in seconds with your catalog, prices and policies, and says where each answer comes from.
- 03
Gets recommendations.
Based on what they're looking for and what they already bought, because the AI learns from every customer.
- 04
Builds the order and pays.
The agent creates the cart and sends the link to your store's checkout; in Colombia, it collects inside the chat with Elopay.
- 05
Comes back.
Follow-ups, cart recovery and repeat orders: reordering “the usual” is one message.
Conversational commerce vs a traditional online store
The store is still yours; what changes is how the customer gets to buy.
| Aspect | Traditional online store | Conversational commerce |
|---|---|---|
| How the customer buys | Browses, filters and fills the cart alone | Asks, and the agent builds the order |
| Questions | Searches the FAQ or waits for an email | An answer in seconds, with a source |
| Personalization | The same storefront for everyone | Recommendations based on profile and history |
| Abandoned cart | A reminder email | A reminder in the chat with their cart |
| Repeat purchase | Comes back if they remember | “The usual” in one message |
| Measurement | Site conversion rate | Every conversation measured to the sale, with ad attribution |

Frequently asked questions about conversational commerce
What is conversational commerce?
It's selling through a conversation over chat or phone: the customer asks, gets recommendations, builds the order and pays without leaving the conversation. With AI, it happens 24/7 and is personalized for every customer.
How is it different from a WhatsApp chatbot?
A chatbot follows a decision tree. Elocuenti is infrastructure: our AI learns from every customer in every conversation, personalizes the next one to them and acts in your systems until the sale or the payment is closed.
Does it connect to my ERP, store or CRM?
Shopify, HubSpot, Yango Fleet, Alegra and Siigo connect natively. Any other system, via webhooks, the REST API or custom tools the agent queries in real time.
Can I keep using the WhatsApp Business app?
Yes. You connect your number in one click and can keep using the WhatsApp Business app on that same number.
What is a conversation, and how is it billed?
Most platforms charge per message, so every reply adds to the bill. With Elocuenti you pay one base price a month with a quota of active conversations. A conversation is each customer the AI talks to in your monthly cycle: whether they write once or fifty times, it counts once. Only marketing campaign templates, which Meta charges per send, are billed separately.
