How Voice Shopping Works

Here's a typical voice shopping conversation:

Finding Products

Customer: "Do you have any vitamin D supplements?"

AI: "Yes! We have Vitamin D3 5000 IU for $24.99 and Vitamin D3 2000 IU for $14.99. Would you like more details?"

Adding to Cart

Customer: "Add two bottles of the 5000 IU"

AI: "Added 2 bottles of Vitamin D3 5000 IU to your cart. Your subtotal is $49.98. Would you like anything else?"

Checking Out

Customer: "That's all, I'm ready to checkout"

AI: "Great! I'll need your email address to complete the order."

Customer: "john@example.com"

AI: "I have that as john at example dot com. Is that correct?"

Customer: "Yes"

AI: "And your name?"

Customer: "John Smith"

AI: "Perfect. Order submitted! You'll receive a confirmation at john@example.com."


Voice Cart Commands

Customers can manage their cart with natural phrases:

To do this...Say something like...
Add items"Add that to my cart", "I'll take two"
Remove items"Remove the vitamin D", "Take that out"
Change quantity"Make it three bottles", "Change to five"
View cart"What's in my cart?", "Show my cart"
Clear cart"Empty my cart", "Start over"
Checkout"I'm ready to checkout", "Place my order"

Contact Collection

When collecting customer information by voice, the AI confirms details for accuracy:

  • Email addresses are read back naturally ("john at example dot com") for verification
  • Names are confirmed before proceeding
  • Phone numbers are optional but confirmed if provided

For returning customers, contact info can be pre-filled from previous visits.


Order Tracking

Customers can check their orders by voice:

Customer: "Where's my order?"

AI: "I found your order from February 5th. It shipped via USPS and the tracking number is 9-4-0-0-1-1-1-8. Estimated delivery is February 8th."

Tracking numbers are spelled out digit-by-digit for clarity. A clickable tracking link also appears in the chat.


Requesting Human Help

When customers need personalized assistance:

Customer: "I need to speak with someone about a custom order"

AI: "I can arrange that. Let me get your contact information..."

(collects email and name)

AI: "Done! Someone from our team will contact you within 24 hours."
