• Answer product questions in seconds
• Recover abandoned carts
• Capture leads overnight
• Handle order status inquiries
• Recommend products to shoppers

And you can add one in under 5 minutes with ChatBotPro.

Method 2: Adding via Theme Code Editor

If you prefer editing the theme directly:

1. Go to Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit Code
2. Find theme.liquid in the Layout folder

Training Your Shopify AI Chatbot

For the best results, train your bot on your actual Shopify content:

1. Paste your product descriptions — the bot learns what you sell
2. Add your FAQ page URL — shipping, returns, sizing info
3. Upload your size guide PDF — helps with product recommendations
4. Include your policies — return policy, privacy policy, terms

The more Shopify-specific content you add, the smarter your bot becomes.
