Here's how Zoho SalesIQ helps drive ecommerce customer engagement
Personalize promotions using visitor insights
Knowing how customers use your website is key to running promotions and offers they'll value. Study visitor behavior on your website using SalesIQ's visitor tracking tool to identify pages with the highest and lowest engagement so you know what's working and what isn't.
Boost ecommerce sales with quick answers
Add live chat to your ecommerce store to solve product-related concerns in real time, gain customer trust, and increase the overall order value. Improve ecommerce user engagement and even reduce cart abandonment by automatically reaching out at important stages with proactive chat triggers.
Gain repeat customers with stellar support
Ecommerce customer engagement doesn't end at checkout. Provide real-time assistance on order tracking, returns/refunds, feedback, and more. Set up departments or routing rules to instantly connect customers to the right staff.
Cater to your mobile app shoppers
Most of today's ecommerce sales come from mobile apps. Mobilisten—our mobile SDK for iOS, Android, and React Native—helps you boost ecommerce user engagement through real-time in-app chat support to mobile shoppers.
Assist app users with event-based in-app chat popups
Identify stages where your mobile app users may have trouble—like payment fails or product unavailability—and contextually display your live chat button for them to reach you quickly.
Boost ecommerce engagement with push notifications
Remind customers to complete a purchase, inform them when a product in their wishlist is on discount, and entice them with vouchers and coupons using push notifications.
Be where your customers are
Your presence in the instant messaging space gives you a competitive edge in a saturated market like ecommerce. Connect your business's instant messaging accounts with SalesIQ, and assist customers in real time, on their preferred messaging channels to enhance ecommerce engagement.
Automate ecommerce user engagement with chatbots
Most ecommerce queries can be handled by chatbots, freeing you to work on customer engagement strategies for your ecommerce business. Zoho SalesIQ lets you deploy smart conversational AI chatbots to give you a hand with customer queries.
Your personal right-hand assistant
Integrate your bot with all your apps and databases to retrieve order tracking data from your database and respond to queries, push visitor details and purchase history to your CRM account, convert chats into support tickets, and more.
Your customer's data-driven advisor
Finding the right product can be a herculean task for shoppers. Chatbots can recommend products based on customer requirements, website footprint, purchase history, and user reviews, thereby improving ecommerce user experience.

Facilitate customer self-service
Create a library of resources on product specifications, return/refund policies, payment options, security, and more that shoppers can access right from the chat window or that can be used by your knowledge base chatbot as responses.
Enhance follow-up efficiency with our CRM and help desk integrations
Connect Zoho SalesIQ with Zoho CRM and Zoho Desk for a 360-degree view of customers' journey. Push data from your chats to CRM, view customer data or associated support tickets during chats, or even convert chats to support tickets, all from a single place.
Create data widgets for contextual customer data
Zoho SalesIQ lets you view all the data you need during a chat like inventory numbers, customers' cart information, order details, the page they're on, and past chats. You can also create custom widgets to display data from third-party tools and even perform actions like pushing details to a database or processing a refund.

What's the importance of customer engagement platform in ecommerce industries?
Ecommerce is a saturated industry today with large players with a clear monopoly in multiple product categories, and many small and budding companies. Just providing all the products customers need under one umbrella, having a variety of products under each category, or even competitive pricing can't ensure success in such a field.
In addition to these, to get more customers and keep existing shoppers coming back to you for all their purchases, it's essential to create top-of-the-mind recall, ensure customers have no problem finding the products they need on your website/app, provide complete product details and reviews, give customers instant answers when they want more details or have a concern, and even assist them with any issues post purchase. All this makes customer engagement and therefore, a customer engagement platform essential for ecommerce businesses.
What are the benefits of using an ecommerce engagement platform?
An ecommerce customer engagement platform helps you understand who your prospects are, where your customers come from, what products are in the most demand, information insufficiencies in your website or mobile app, and more, thereby helping you build effective customer engagement strategies and improve them with time.
It also helps you reduce cart abandonment by assisting shoppers proactively when they're at the checkout page for too long, improve sales by enticing shoppers with vouchers and offers, and delight and retain customers by helping them out with any issues they have regarding existing orders.
