OpenCart AI Chatbot Extension

Why People Love Elfsight

Our AI Chatbot for OpenCart is like a polite sales assistant who never takes a break. It guides shoppers to the right products, explains shipping or returns, and keeps conversations moving – while you stay focused on orders, suppliers, and the rest of your day. Setup is quick, the editor is visual, and the results feel delightfully hands-off.

Little story: a family-run apparel shop added the chatbot to their size guide page. “It handled ‘Does this run small?’ while we packed weekend orders,” they told us. Fewer repeated questions, fewer abandoned carts, more breathing room.

Did you know? According to Salesforce, 69% of consumers prefer chatbots for quick communication with brands – a fast lane to answers shoppers actually use.

Give it a try – unlock instant help for your customers and free up time for the work only you can do.
