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."
Visual + Voice Together
Voice actions update the chat interface in real-time:
| When the customer... | The chat shows... |
|---|---|
| Adds to cart | Cart updates with new item |
| Asks about a product | Product link appears |
| Places an order | Order confirmation card |
| Checks tracking | Tracking link displayed |
This lets customers see visual confirmation while continuing to talk, and click links without interrupting the conversation.
