    AutoTill — Conversational Checkout for Ecommerce

    AutoTill replaces browse, cart and checkout with a single conversation that completes the purchase.

    An autonomous shopping agent for WooCommerce and Shopify stores. It reads the live catalogue, interprets what a shopper actually needs, narrows options against budget and specification, assembles the basket and hands off to a validated checkout — all inside one conversation.

    I need a gift for my dad — he loves photography.
    Got it. Budget around £150?
    Yes, ideally something premium.
    Found it. Carbon tripod + LED kit. £148 — basket built, checkout ready.

    Need stated. Product found. Basket built. One conversation.

    The problem

    Ecommerce conversion collapses at product discovery.

    Most online stores lose the majority of their traffic between the product page and the payment page. Shoppers arrive with a need rather than a product name, are handed a grid of options and filters, and are expected to self-serve their way to the right choice.

    Chatbots have not fixed this. They answer a question and then return the shopper to the same journey that was already failing. Support widgets deflect; site search retrieves. Nothing in the standard stack takes commercial responsibility for turning a stated need into a completed order.

    AutoTill is not a chatbot. It is an autonomous sales agent that sits on the storefront, holds the merchant's live catalogue, interprets intent, applies the merchant's commercial rules, builds the basket and hands the shopper to a validated checkout.

    How it works

    From plugin to selling agent in five steps.

    01

    Connect the store

    Install the WordPress plugin for WooCommerce, or paste a single embed snippet on any site.

    02

    Sync and configure

    The catalogue imports automatically; brand, tone, product rules and commercial priorities are set in the dashboard.

    03

    Test in the playground

    Rehearse real shopper conversations against a live preview until the agent sells the way you would.

    04

    Go live

    Set the agent live from the dashboard; it converses with visitors, recommends, builds baskets and hands off to checkout.

    05

    Measure and tune

    Review transcripts and attributed revenue, adjust rules, and take over any conversation manually when needed.

    Core features

    A selling system, not a support tool.

    Autonomous shopping agent

    Decides and recommends rather than deflecting to a search page. The agent interprets what a shopper actually needs and takes commercial responsibility for the outcome.

    Live catalogue sync

    Products, variants, stock and pricing pulled directly from WooCommerce or Shopify. The agent only ever sells what is genuinely in the catalogue.

    Conversational basket and checkout handoff

    The order is assembled inside the conversation, then passed to the merchant's real checkout. No parallel basket, no replacement checkout.

    Server-side price validation

    Every basket is re-priced against the store before checkout can proceed, so the agent can never quote or transact at a figure the merchant did not set.

    Merchant rules engine

    Include, exclude, prioritise or suppress individual products and categories. Commercial priorities are configuration, not code.

    Brand matching

    The agent adopts the store's colours, typography, avatar and voice, so the conversation feels like the brand — not a bolted-on widget.

    Agent playground

    Rehearse real shopper conversations side by side with a live preview, and tune behaviour before the agent ever meets a customer.

    Conversations and analytics

    Full transcripts, live human takeover, funnel reporting and revenue attributed per conversation, per intent and per product.

    Use cases

    What the agent actually does.

    A shopper describes a requirement in plain language and is sold the correct product without browsing

    Compatibility and specification matching — size, fit, technical requirement or accessory pairing

    Configurable and made-to-order products guided through their options step by step

    High-ticket purchases supported with relevant add-ons and protection at the point of decision

    Replenishment — a returning customer reorders a consumable in one message

    Budget-led shopping where the shopper states a figure rather than a product

    Gift buying where the shopper knows the recipient but not the item

    Out-of-stock recovery through an equivalent alternative already in the catalogue

    Pre-purchase support questions answered without exiting the buying flow

    Non-purchase enquiries captured as leads and forwarded to the merchant's support address

    Who it is for

    Built for merchants who sell considered products.

    • WooCommerce store owners with catalogues too large or too technical to browse comfortably.
    • Shopify merchants selling considered purchases — configurable, high-ticket or specification-led goods.
    • Ecommerce managers accountable for conversion rate rather than traffic volume.
    • Digital agencies building and operating stores on behalf of retail clients.
    • Specialist retailers whose products require fit, size, compatibility or spec matching.

    Outcomes

    Measured on completed orders.

    • More revenue from existing traffic, with no increase in ad spend
    • A shorter path from arrival to order, measured in messages rather than page views
    • Fewer abandoned baskets caused by product uncertainty
    • Higher average order value through relevant add-ons and bundles offered at the decision point
    • Pre-purchase questions answered in-line, or routed to the merchant, without the shopper leaving the flow
    • Conversation-level revenue attribution, by intent and by product
    • Returning shoppers recognised and served from prior context, including one-message reorders
    • Selling continues outside staffed hours without adding headcount

    Pricing

    Aligned to the revenue it produces.

    Free trial

    Install, sync the catalogue and rehearse in the playground — no card required.

    Subscription + revenue share

    Subscription tiers with a revenue-share component aligned to attributed sales. The agent is measured on completed orders, and priced the same way.

    Commercial control

    The merchant keeps the final word.

    • The agent can only sell what is in the synced catalogue — it cannot fabricate stock.
    • Every basket is validated against the store server-side before checkout.
    • Rules govern which products and categories the agent may promote, suppress or exclude.
    • Any live conversation can be taken over by a human at any point.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is this just another chatbot?

    +

    No. A chatbot answers a question and hands the shopper back to the same product grid. AutoTill holds the live catalogue, decides what to recommend, builds the basket and drives the order to checkout, and is measured on completed sales rather than deflected tickets.

    Which ecommerce platforms does it support?

    +

    WooCommerce is the primary integration, installed as a WordPress plugin. Shopify is supported via an authorised app connection, and any other site can run the agent through a single embed snippet.

    Can the agent invent products or get prices wrong?

    +

    It can only sell items present in the synced catalogue, so it cannot fabricate stock. Every basket is re-priced against the store server-side before checkout, so a shopper can never transact at a figure the merchant did not set.

    How much control does the merchant keep?

    +

    Full control. Rules govern which products and categories the agent may promote, suppress or exclude, and tone, brand and commercial priorities are configured in the dashboard. Any live conversation can be taken over by a human at any point.

    How long does it take to go live?

    +

    Installation takes minutes — install the plugin or paste the snippet, and the catalogue syncs automatically. Most of the setup time goes into rehearsing conversations in the playground so the agent sells the way the merchant would.
