AI-Powered Shift From Support to Sales

Text is redefining customer service by turning support interactions into active sales opportunities. Instead of treating conversations as cost centers, the platform positions them as revenue-generating touchpoints powered by AI agents that engage customers in real time.

With the Shopify integration, Text consolidates its suite of tools — including LiveChat, ChatBot, and HelpDesk — into a unified dashboard designed specifically for ecommerce merchants. The system allows businesses to automate engagement, track customer intent, and convert browsing behavior into sales without increasing headcount.

"Text is now everywhere where e-commerce happens," said Filip Jaskólski, Chief Product Officer at Text.

AI Agents Integrated Directly Into Shopify Stores

The Shopify integration is designed to embed AI deeply into the customer journey, going beyond traditional chat functionality.

Key capabilities include:

  • Real-time monitoring of visitor behavior from entry to checkout
  • Live connection to store data including catalog, cart, and order history
  • AI-triggered interventions when customers hesitate at checkout
  • Automated offers based on purchase intent signals
  • Shared inbox for AI and human agents
  • Live cart tracking inside the Text dashboard
  • Sales attribution across AI-assisted and human-driven conversions
  • 24/7 automated engagement during off-hours

AI agents can respond instantly to customer activity, qualify leads, and assist in closing sales without requiring manual intervention.

Unified Customer Journeys Across WhatsApp, Meta, WordPress, and Webflow

Text is extending its omnichannel strategy through deep integrations across major platforms used in digital commerce.

With WhatsApp Business, customer conversations that begin on a website can continue seamlessly in chat, maintaining full context across channels. This is particularly significant given WhatsApp’s scale, with billions of users and millions of businesses relying on the platform for customer engagement.

Through its Meta Business integration, Text processes millions of conversations per quarter while maintaining unified messaging across support and sales channels.

On WordPress, businesses can deploy AI agents that automatically learn from site content such as product pages, FAQs, and policy documents to provide accurate responses from day one.

Webflow users can integrate Text directly via the marketplace without code changes, ensuring chat experiences align with existing design systems while preserving site performance.

AI Agents Designed for Revenue Generation

According to Text, customer service is evolving into a core revenue function rather than a support layer. The platform’s AI agents are designed to identify buying intent, engage customers at the right moment, and guide them toward conversion.

The system also includes new image understanding capabilities, allowing AI agents to process screenshots and visual inputs to resolve issues or qualify leads more effectively.

"Customer service is a company's most valuable point of interaction with customers and thus can be its best selling agent," said Filip Jaskólski, Chief Product Officer at Text. "Our new Shopify App integration brings our full suite of capabilities and AI selling tools to e-commerce brands, and integrations with leading business tools and platforms make the customer experience more seamless and unified. Text is now everywhere where e-commerce happens."

Early Performance Metrics Show Strong Impact

Text reports significant early results from its AI agent deployments, including:

  • Up to 90% customer support resolution rates in some cases
  • 53% growth in chat-attributed sales over the past quarter
  • 386% higher conversion rates using AI-driven chat interactions
  • 130% increase in monthly chat-based sales
  • Stable operational costs despite increased automation

These results suggest that AI-driven customer engagement is becoming a meaningful driver of ecommerce performance, particularly in high-volume digital storefronts.
