Great ecommerce experiences don’t end at checkout. They depend on how quickly customers get help, track orders, or resolve problems.
Traditional support channels — email, chat, or outsourced call centers — can’t keep up with customer expectations for speed and convenience.
That’s why more brands are turning to Voice AI. With Catana, ecommerce businesses can give every customer a real-time, human-sounding conversation that solves problems instantly.
What Is Voice AI for eCommerce?
Voice AI uses natural language processing to understand and respond to customers over the phone — just like a live support agent.
Unlike static IVR menus (“Press 1 for…”) or bots that transfer everything to humans, Catana’s AI understands context, retrieves data from your Shopify store, and responds intelligently.
“Hi, I can help you check your order status or start a return. What would you like to do?”
The experience feels personal, fast, and effortless — available 24/7.
Why Voice AI Improves Customer Experience
1. Instant, Human-Like Support
Customers don’t want to wait. With Catana, they get immediate, conversational assistance — no hold times, no ticket queues.
The AI handles thousands of calls at once and never needs a break.
“Your order was shipped yesterday and will arrive Friday.
It’s direct, accurate, and faster than any live agent could respond.
2. Always On, 24/7 Coverage
Missed calls are missed sales.
Voice AI ensures you never lose a customer because they couldn’t reach you after hours. Catana answers every call day or night, offering real-time updates, policy info, or follow-ups — automatically.
3. Personalized Conversations
Because Catana connects to your Shopify backend, it recognizes customers by phone number or email and retrieves their latest order instantly.
That means each call starts with context — not a blank slate.
“Hi Sarah, I see your order for the green sweater placed on October 28. Would you like to check its delivery status?”
Personalization builds trust and creates loyalty with minimal effort.
4. Consistent Brand Voice
Human teams vary in tone and quality. Catana delivers the same professional, on-brand experience every time. You can customize your AI’s voice, greeting, and escalation flow to match your brand personality.
