Boei Lead Inbox for Lightspeed

Turn Lightspeed Browsers into Buyers

Lightspeed merchants know the pain: shoppers browse your catalog, add items to their cart, then leave because a simple question went unanswered. AI live chat intercepts hesitant shoppers in real-time, answers sizing, shipping, and compatibility questions using your product data, captures their contact details, and delivers scored leads to your inbox. Convert the 70% of shoppers who would have abandoned.

  • AI answers product questions: sizing, stock, shipping, returns, compatibility
  • Every shopper scored by purchase intent and browsing behavior
  • Leads delivered instantly via email, webhook, or directly to your CRM
  • Complete AI conversation transcript shows exactly what the shopper needs
  • Source tracking shows which Lightspeed product pages they viewed

Seamless AI-to-Human Handover

When a Lightspeed shopper needs help with a bulk order, custom configuration, or complex return, your AI escalates to your team on WhatsApp, Messenger, or any channel they use. The handover includes full conversation history, product interests, and contact details — your team closes the sale with full context, just like your best in-store sales associate.

  • Escalation triggers: high cart value, bulk order, complex return, VIP customer
  • Full conversation history and AI-generated summary included
  • Routes to WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, email, or Slack
  • Smart routing: round-robin, random, or manual claim

Why Your Lightspeed Store Needs AI Live Chat

Lightspeed is the platform of choice for serious retailers going online — but its e-commerce storefront lacks real-time customer engagement:

  • No built-in live chat — Lightspeed eCom has no native chat widget. Shoppers with pre-purchase questions either call you (expensive), email you (slow), or buy from a competitor (costly).
  • Retail expertise needs real-time delivery — Your in-store staff answers product questions instantly. Your online store should do the same. AI brings that in-store expertise to every web visitor.
  • High-ticket items need more than product pages — Lightspeed merchants often sell considered purchases. Shoppers researching a €200+ product need instant answers to convert. Without chat, they research elsewhere.
  • Omnichannel retail demands omnichannel messaging — Lightspeed supports in-store and online. Your customer messaging should work across WhatsApp, Messenger, and your website — not just email.
  • The Lightspeed app market is limited — Unlike Shopify's massive app store, Lightspeed has fewer chat options. Most don't include AI or multi-channel support.

Boei fixes this for Lightspeed: add one script to your theme, train AI on your product catalog, and let it sell for you 24/7. AI routes serious buyers to your team on WhatsApp — conversations continue after they leave. See the Lightspeed installation guide.

Lightspeed AI Live Chat FAQ

Does Boei include an AI chatbot for Lightspeed?

Yes — AI is included in every Boei plan, not a paid add-on. Your AI chatbot answers product questions, handles shipping and return inquiries, qualifies shoppers, and escalates high-value orders to your team on WhatsApp or Messenger. 2,000 AI messages included per month.

How do I install live chat on Lightspeed?

In your Lightspeed eCom admin, go to Design → Theme Editor and add the Boei script to your theme's footer. Alternatively, use Lightspeed's custom JavaScript settings. Takes under 5 minutes. See the full Lightspeed installation guide.
