Why AI-Driven Conversations Are the Missing Link Between Product Discovery and Checkout

The Problem: Why Customers Drop Off Before Checkout

Shoppers don’t abandon carts only because of price or distractions. More often, they leave because they can’t find what they need, don’t get timely answers, or struggle with poor product discovery experiences.

Here’s what happens in most e-commerce journeys:

  •  A shopper searches for “blue denim jacket” but is shown generic results — men’s, women’s, and irrelevant styles — no filters, no context.
  •  They click on a product, but the product description page (PDP) is a wall of text. Details like wash caresizing, or fit are buried or missing.
  • They have a question — “Will this fade after washing?” — but the live agent isn’t available, and the FAQ page offers no help.
  • Result? They leave. Without buying. Likely for good.

This disconnect between intent and experience leads to lost revenuepoor CSAT, and low repeat purchases.

The Agitation: Friction Kills Conversion (and Loyalty)

Let’s put this in perspective:

  • 70% of carts are abandoned.
  • 60% of shoppers leave if they can’t find product info in under 2 minutes.
  • 80% of support queries come post-purchase, but most brands aren’t available 24/7.

When users don’t find the right product, or when their doubts go unanswered, it creates friction — and friction kills not just conversion, but also trustloyalty, and retention.

And this gets worse during festive seasons, when customer volumes peak, competition is fierce, and expectations are high.

The Solution: Conversational Commerce AI

It’s time to stop treating discovery, support, and personalization as disconnected workflows.

Instead, conversational commerce bridges every gap — guiding, supporting, and inspiring the shopper in real time.
