AgenticCart overview

AgenticCart is an AI sales agent for ecommerce that turns your product catalog into a hosted AI shopping assistant on your own domain. See how it works.

AgenticCart lets online stores launch their own AI shopping website — a conversational storefront where shoppers chat with a branded assistant instead of browsing filters. It is an owned agentic storefront: you run the AI on your own domain, such as chat.yourbrand.com, trained on your catalog and speaking in your brand voice. Unlike agentic commerce approaches that sell your products inside ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, or Microsoft Copilot, AgenticCart gives you the same kind of chat experience shoppers already know from ChatGPT and Claude — but under your own brand, on your domain, recommending only your products.

Under the hood, AgenticCart is an AI sales agent for ecommerce: a conversational assistant that understands what a shopper is trying to buy and recommends products from your WooCommerce store or product feed in plain language.

What is an AI sales agent?

An AI sales agent is a conversational layer that sits between your catalog and your shoppers. Instead of forcing shoppers to guess exact product names or scroll through filters, the agent accepts natural-language questions ("a waterproof jacket for morning runs", "a birthday gift under 40 euros for someone who likes tea") and replies with a short list of relevant products, each with a reason to consider it.

AgenticCart is designed specifically for online stores, not as a generic support bot. Every AI shopping agent is anchored to a real catalog and a curated product collection, so recommendations are commercially intentional rather than open-ended conversation.

How AgenticCart turns your catalog into a shopping agent

AgenticCart is a conversational commerce platform with four moving parts: the catalog you connect, the collections you curate, the AI sales agents you configure, and the hosted chat domain where each agent lives. You connect WooCommerce or a product feed once, create a focused collection of products the agent is allowed to recommend, set its voice and objective, and publish it on your own domain.

The result is an AI agent for your online store that behaves like a well-briefed sales associate: it knows the products you want to promote, answers in the tone you choose, and hands shoppers off to your existing checkout when they are ready to buy.

What shoppers experience on the hosted chat

A shopper opens chat.yourbrand.com and types:

"I need a gift for my mom. She's into tea, and I want to spend under $50."

Your agent replies with three products from the Gifts collection you curated: a ceramic teapot, a sampler set, and an infuser mug, each with a short reason it fits the brief. The shopper clicks through to your actual store to buy. The whole experience happens on your brand, not on a third-party platform, and reflects the guidance you configured in the agent settings.

Intent in, curated recommendations out, purchase on your storefront. That is the full loop.

The four pieces: catalog, collection, agent, hosted chat domain

  • Catalog — the products AgenticCart reads from your WooCommerce store or product feed. This is the raw pool.
  • Collection — a curated product group the agent is allowed to recommend from. Collections keep each AI shopping agent focused on one buying journey.
  • AI sales agent — the branded assistant shoppers talk to, with its own name, tone, greeting, and objective.
  • Hosted chat domain — the custom subdomain, for example chat.yourbrand.com, where the agent runs with managed SSL. See hosted chat domain setup for the DNS and SSL flow.

What AgenticCart is not

  • Not a replacement for your store. Your ecommerce platform still owns products, checkout, payments, and fulfillment.
  • Not a generic chatbot. The agent is shaped around your catalog, your collections, and your merchandising rules, not open-ended small talk.
  • Not an uncontrolled catalog dump. You decide which products each AI sales agent can recommend.
  • Not a pasted-in widget. AgenticCart is a full hosted chat page on your own domain, not an embedded script or floating bubble. You link to it from your storefront navigation, emails, ads, and campaign pages.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI sales agent?
An AI sales agent is a conversational assistant that recommends products from an ecommerce catalog based on a shopper's natural-language request. In AgenticCart, each AI sales agent is scoped to a specific product collection and brand voice, so it behaves like a focused sales associate rather than a general-purpose chatbot.
How is AgenticCart different from a regular chatbot?
A regular chatbot usually answers support questions from a knowledge base. AgenticCart is a conversational commerce platform: the agent is tied to your live catalog and a curated collection, recommends real products with prices and links, and is designed around purchase intent rather than ticket deflection.
Does AgenticCart replace my ecommerce store?
No. AgenticCart adds a shopping-agent layer on top of your existing store. Your ecommerce platform still manages products, checkout, payments, and fulfillment. The agent recommends products and links shoppers back to your storefront to purchase.
Do shoppers check out inside the chat?
No. Checkout happens on your ecommerce store, not inside AgenticCart. The agent presents product cards with links, and the shopper completes the purchase on your existing checkout.
Does AgenticCart work with WooCommerce?
Yes. WooCommerce is a first-class integration: install the AgenticCart WooCommerce plugin, pair your store, and your catalog is ready for use in collections and agents. Stores without WooCommerce can connect through a supported product feed instead.
Can I control which products the agent recommends?
Yes. Every AI sales agent is attached to a collection, and the agent can only recommend products that belong to that collection. You decide what goes in, and you can update the collection at any time.
