Customer experience must be the priority before high-quality products and reasonable pricing. A satisfied customer is more likely to recommend a product or brand to their family, friends, or colleagues. According to HubSpot, 90% of people trust recommendations and suggestions by friends and family, and 70% trust online reviews by real customers.

Here are some common problems retailers face with unsuccessful customer service at POS.

  • Ineffective complex customer query handling and support.
  • Insecure and ineffective POS.
  • Insufficient product information and tracking details.
  • Inability to build strong relationships and maintain positive brand perception.

How can you ensure a smooth and delightful customer experience at POS for your retail business?

Here’s your answer: It’s Conversational AI.

The Gupshup Solution

Let’s deep dive into how beneficial Gupshup, the conversational messaging platform, can be to your retail business.

1. Seamless order placing system

With the Gupshup API, users can place orders for any item from your store conversationally. If they like something, they can ask the chatbot about the item’s details and the price. If they want to buy something, they can tell the chatbot that they want to buy that item, which will help them out through the process.

Gupshup can help customers view product catalogues, track orders, share live locations for delivery, and receive hot offers on their devices.

Your business can offer incredible discounts to buyers at this point to boost customer satisfaction and convert unique customers into loyal ones.

With WhatsApp-based commerce, users can use WhatsApp payments to make purchases and ensure high data privacy. They can choose multiple payment methods on WhatsApp and place an order.

Not just WhatsApp, you can provide such a comfortable experience to your customers wherever they go. Gupshup works with more than 30 messaging applications, including SMS, Instagram, Viber, Telegram, Messenger and more.

With Gupshup’s QR code service, patrons can make instant payments by scanning QR codes to purchase an item from your store. There are no obstacles to hinder their purchase when you have Gupshup.

2. Hassle-free checkout system for retail customers

Users avoid businesses with a lengthy and inconvenient checkout system. Everyone prefers a checkout system that helps them easily add items to the cart and make an instant and secure payment. Conversational AI enables patrons to checkout and make payments conversationally.

With Gupshup, this layer becomes entirely hassle-free. Customers can request the chatbot and get a seamless interface to add items to the cart, checkout and make payments by their preferred methods. That way, the whole system is conversational, and customers feel like talking to a real salesperson from your company.

Before proceeding to checkout, users can take a final look at the items added to their cart and make sure everything is perfect. They can easily add or remove items before proceeding to checkout by asking the chatbot.

Users opting for WhatsApp-based shopping can get product catalogues, cart overview, checkout, and payment facilities in the WhatsApp application.

3. Conversational order tracking facility

If a customer wishes to track their item after placing an order, Gupshup will do it for them. Users can request tracking details from the chatbot to provide a tracking link for a product ID.

It will ensure a seamless customer experience even after shopping at your store. Customers feel valued throughout the user journey and are more likely to recommend your business to their families and peers.
