Conversational commerce is an emerging concept that describes the integration of online shopping and customer chat interfaces. It has gained significant traction due to the increasing importance of messaging platforms in facilitating transactions, particularly among younger generations who prefer human-like interactions with businesses. The key types of conversational commerce include pre-sale and post-sale interactions between consumers and businesses, as well as merchant-back-office system conversations, where business owners can message their back-end systems to manage their operations. Additionally, shopping assistants like Operator, Mezi, and Magic are becoming increasingly popular, allowing customers to find products through conversational interactions. The future of conversational commerce is expected to be shaped by the rise of voice-based interactions, platform wars between messaging platforms, and the growth of smart companies investing in this space.
