This is Bookbag running a store

Actual screenshots, actual conversations. The widget your customers see, and the dashboard your team lives in.

On your storefront

Watch it handle a customer, start to finish

A shopper opens chat, asks about returns, then asks for a gift idea. The agent answers from the store’s own policies and catalog — instantly, in the brand’s voice — and recommends a $48 product while it’s at it. This recording is a real conversation with a Bookbag agent.

  • Answers from your policies, not generic AI guesses
  • Recommends products from your own catalog
  • Matches your brand color and tone
  • Hands off to your team the moment it should

Built from what merchants hate about the alternatives

Switch without the surprises

The most common 1-star reviews of metered chat tools are about billing shocks, bots that hallucinate, and widgets that slow your store. We built the opposite — by design.

Spend controls

You set the spending limit

Choose a monthly message cap and we never raise it for you. No auto-upgrades, no mid-month “you’ve been bumped to a higher plan.”

Auto-upgraded mid-month
A hard cap that you set
Behavior at cap

It never just goes dark

Hit your cap and the agent keeps capturing leads or hands off to your team — so a busy month never means a blank chat and a lost sale.

Spam guard

You’re not billed for spam

Bot floods and abusive bursts are rate-limited automatically and never count against your quota. Your messages are for real customers.

It won’t make things up

When the answer isn’t in your knowledge, the agent says so or hands off — instead of confidently inventing an answer that costs you a sale.

Confidently invents answers

Knowledge gaps

You see what to fix

A Knowledge Gaps report shows every unsure answer grouped by topic, so quality never silently degrades the way it does on set-and-forget bots.

It won’t slow your store

The widget loads lazily and never blocks your page — no PageSpeed hit, no sticky-cart overlap. Your Core Web Vitals stay intact.

Your agent, your rules

Deeper control — without the markup

Bring your own model, tune exactly how the agent thinks, and pay the provider directly. No per-message tax.

Bring your own key — optional

Your models, or ours. Bring your own key and keep your margin.

Run on Bookbag's models out of the box — or connect your own OpenAI or Anthropic key whenever you want. With your own key you pay the provider at cost on a predictable platform fee, with no per-message markup when traffic spikes. Most support tools don't even give you the choice.

  • Pay providers directly — no per-message markup
  • Flat platform price, even on your busiest day
  • Switch GPT ↔ Claude per agent, anytime

Questions, answered

How is this different from a regular chatbot?+

Most chatbots only answer questions. Bookbag is an agent: it connects natively to Shopify and takes real actions — tracking orders, processing returns and refunds, recommending products, and recovering carts — then hands off to your team only when it should.

Does it work with Shopify?+

Yes — natively (plus WooCommerce and BigCommerce). Install it and the agent reads live order data and takes order actions with no custom development.

How much does it cost?+

Flat plans with no per-resolution fees. Free to start (no credit card), then $30, $110, or $350/mo as you grow.

How long does setup take?+

Most stores are live in under a day. Connect your store, set your tone, and add a one-line snippet.

Try it on your store in 30 seconds.
