Integrating Shulex AI Chat Support with the Shopper App
To enhance customer service efficiency and response speed, the SHOPLINE Shopper App now supports integration with Shulex, an AI-powered solution for real-time customer support. After applying for a Shulex account and completing the integration, the AI assistant Solvea will automatically engage with your customers through the Shopper App, providing instant, 24/7 responses. This helps improve service quality, reduce manual workload, and deliver a better shopping experience.
