In-chat storefront & honest inventory

owni.chat turns your connected catalog into a live shopping assistant: shoppers browse, filter, compare, and hand off to your own checkout — while answers about stock cite real quantities and restock dates when you provide them.

In-chat storefront

  • Catalog panel with search, in-stock filter, price bands, and categories.
  • Product cards with compare, related upsell (“Often viewed with”), and OOS → similar in stock.
  • Checkout path: merchant add_to_cart_js, or Shopify cart deep-link when variant id is synced.
  • Business+ plan feature: catalog_panel.

Honest inventory AI

  • Products store stock_qty, restock_at, and optional location summary from Shopify, WooCommerce, or feed columns.
  • The assistant only promises an ETA when restock_at / feed date is set — otherwise it says the restock date is unknown and suggests in-stock alternatives.
  • Return / shipping answers prefer crawled policy snippets with URL citations, not guessed policies.

Setup checklist

  1. Connect a product catalog (feed, Shopify, Woo, or crawl markup).
  2. Paste an add-to-cart snippet (Shopify / Woo presets in Widget settings).
  3. Crawl return & shipping pages so policy snippets appear in Knowledge.
  4. Confirm inventory fields sync on your integration or feed mapping.
