Selling chat

Selling chat: sell in the conversation, not after it.

Customers ask about products by text, Instagram, Messenger and your website chat. Colvy lets your team answer with the product, the price and a payment link in the same conversation, and creates the order without switching apps.

What is selling chat?

Selling chat (also called chat commerce or conversational selling) means helping a customer choose and buy inside a conversation: they ask a question in a message, you answer with the right product, and they pay without leaving the chat.

It works because the customer is already interested. Someone asking “do you have this in stock?” is a buyer. Make them go and find the product, add it to a cart and check out on their own, and many won’t. Send them the answer and a way to pay, and many will.

How it works

From question to paid order in one thread

1

A customer asks

A text, Instagram DM, Messenger chat or website chat arrives in your shared inbox, beside the customer’s past orders.

2

You answer with the product

Send the product and price from your catalogue, a photo or video, and answer their questions.

3

They pay in the chat

Send a Stripe payment link. When it’s paid, create the order and send the delivery details.

Questions

Good questions.

Selling chat means helping customers choose and buy inside a conversation, by text, Instagram, Messenger or website chat, instead of sending them off to find the product and check out alone. You answer with the product, the price and a payment link in the same thread.

SMS on an Australian number, Instagram Direct, Facebook Messenger, email and the Colvy chat widget on your website, all from one shared inbox. WhatsApp is coming soon.

Yes. Connect your WooCommerce or Shopify store to send products from your catalogue, see each customer’s orders beside the chat, create orders and follow up abandoned checkouts.

You send a secure Stripe payment link from the conversation. The customer pays by card, the money goes to your own Stripe account, and the thread shows it as paid.

Colvy’s Sales Agent follows up quotes, unpaid payment links and abandoned carts with personal messages. It drafts them for your team to approve at first, and you choose what it may send on its own.

Selling in chat is part of Colvy’s Inbox and Everything plans. You can start free with no credit card, and every paid plan has a 14-day free trial.

Turn your next chat into a sale.

Connect your channels and your store, and answer the next “is this available?” with a product and a payment link.
