Salesforce Shopping Advisor
The Salesforce Shopping Advisor (Salesforce Shopping Concierge) transforms traditional online shops into intelligent, conversational shopping experiences. Instead of clicking through categories and filters, customers are actively guided through the entire purchasing process - from product selection to checkout. The solution understands individual needs, recommends suitable products, and even handles the purchase completion automatically. The result: higher conversion rates, better customer experiences, and greater revenue potential.
No more overwhelming online shops
Many digital commerce platforms offer technically sound shopping experiences, yet leave customers on their own when it comes to the actual purchase decision. This is especially challenging with complex product ranges - such as in beauty, healthcare, electronics, or manufacturing - where finding the right product quickly and confidently can be difficult.
Traditional navigation, filters, and static product recommendations are no longer sufficient. Customers expect personalized, conversational experiences that feel like in-store consultations. This is exactly where the Salesforce Shopping Advisor comes in: it combines conversational AI with real transactional capability, intelligently guiding users through the entire customer journey.

Conversational commerce makes online shopping easier, more personal, and more efficient.
