How to Sell with the Webshop

1 min read

Chitchatbot’s Webshop lets your customers easily place orders online—no matter where they interact with your business. It works across all channels: Messenger, SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, and more!


🔧 Setting Up Your Webshop

1️⃣ Go to E-commerce in your Chitchatbot dashboard and add your products.
2️⃣ Use the {{shop_link}} system field to share your webshop:

  • For channels that support buttons (Messenger, Telegram, etc.):
    Add a button to your flow and use {{shop_link}} as the button URL.
  • For channels that don’t support buttons (SMS, WhatsApp, etc.):
    Include {{shop_link}} directly in your text block, like in the example below.

📈 Display Products in Your Flows

Use the Flow Builder to showcase your products:

1️⃣ Click + Content
2️⃣ Click Collection
3️⃣ Select the data type (e.g., Products)
4️⃣ Choose the Collection type:

  • Automated: Use vendor or category data
  • Manual: Pick specific products manually
    5️⃣ Click Save to add the collection to your flow.

🛒 Customize Product Views

Chitchatbot lets you choose how products are displayed in your webshop.
Go to E-commerce > Settings to customize product views and layouts.


🗂️ Load the Webshop for a Specific Category

To share a webshop link that shows only a specific product category, use this format:

{{shop_link}}&t=CATEGORY_ID

👉 How to find the category ID:

  • Go to your category list
  • Click the 3 dots next to the category name
  • Select “Get ID”

Example:
If your CATEGORY ID is 2000, your webshop link will be:

{{shop_link}}&t=2000

With these steps, your webshop will be up and running—ready for customers to explore and place orders seamlessly on any channel!
