What it does for you

One assistant for online and in-store shoppers

Retail questions arrive at three moments, online and in the shop. FastBots answers the routine ones, so your staff can focus on the people in front of them.

01 · Before they visit

Answer the shop and stock questions

Shares opening hours, shop locations, sizing and product details from your pages, and takes restock requests.

  • “What time do you close today?”
  • “Is this in stock at the Bath shop?”
  • “When will this be back in?”
02 · Buying and collecting

Make click-and-collect simple

Explains click-and-collect, delivery options, gift wrapping and loyalty schemes, straight from your website.

  • “Do you do click-and-collect?”
  • “Do you gift wrap?”
  • “Do you have a loyalty card?”
03 · After they buy

Make returns easy, and hand over the rest

Explains your returns window and in-store returns, then passes faulty items and refund requests to your team.

  • “Can I return online orders in store?”
  • “What's your returns window?”
  • “My item is faulty. What now?”

More than a chatbot

It doesn't just answer. It works as an AI agent for your shops.

Connect FastBots to the tools you already use, and a stock question becomes a restock lead, a personal shopping booking or a live chat with your team.

  1. STEP 1

    Captures the request

    Collects names and emails for restock alerts, personal shopping and wholesale enquiries.

  2. STEP 2

    Sends it to your tools

    Passes requests to your email list, CRM or a shared spreadsheet through Zapier or Make, so the right shop follows up.

  3. STEP 3

    Books the appointment

    Shows your booking link as a button for personal shopping or fittings. With Zapier MCP connected, it can book the slot during the chat.

  4. STEP 4

    Hands over to your team

    When a shopper has a faulty item or a large order, your team can step into the same chat with Live Chat.

Live Chat is on Business plan and above, and buttons are on paid plans. Booking and CRM actions during the chat use Zapier MCP and need a quick setup in your Zapier account.

  • Click-and-collect, delivery and gift wrapping
  • Returns windows and in-store returns
  • Restock alerts and personal shopping requests

It hands to you

FAQ

Questions retailers ask us

Can it check stock at a specific shop?

Not on its own. It answers from your pages and files, so it can share what's published but not live shop stock. It can take the shopper's details so the shop team can check and reply. If you sell online through Shopify, it can check online product availability.

Will it tell shoppers what size to buy?

It shares your size guide and the fit notes on your product pages. Add a rule that it never guarantees a size, and it points shoppers to the guide or your team instead.

Does it connect to our till or stock system?

There's no native connection to point-of-sale or stock systems. If you sell online through Shopify, the native integration gives the bot live product, cart and order details. For other tools, you can send enquiries through Zapier or Make, or connect actions with Zapier MCP.

Can it take payments or hold items?

No. It doesn't take payments or reserve stock. It explains how click-and-collect works and captures the request so your shop team can follow up.

Can a person take over the conversation?

Yes. With Live Chat on Business plan and above, a team member can step into the same chat during the hours you set. The shopper fills in a short contact form first, and you can set a fallback message for when nobody is online.

Can it help international shoppers and tourists?

Yes. It replies in around 95 languages, so visitors can ask about opening hours, delivery or returns in their own language. It also works on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger.

What do I get in the free trial?

14 days with 1 chatbot and 200 message credits, with no credit card required. That's enough to train it on your shop pages and returns policy and test it with the questions your staff hear every day.

How do I keep the answers up to date?

When opening hours, offers or policies change, update your website and retrain the bot. On Business plan and above, auto retrain can refresh your website content daily, weekly or monthly, and you can see which questions it couldn't answer.

Still have a question?

Ask the FastBots chatbot in the corner, or just try it yourself.
