The AI chatbot for Shopify that sells while you sleep

Most online stores pay between $29 and $150 a month, and the real difference is how the app bills you. Some charge for every chat the AI handles: Gorgias bills $0.90–$1.00 per conversation its AI resolves, then $1.50 each once you pass your allowance. Others sell AI as an add-on, so Tidio’s Lyro starts at $39 a month for 50 AI chats on top of your base plan. Markleyo is flat instead. Starter is $29 a month, or $14.50 a month for your first term with code EARLY50, and that already includes the Shopify integration, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and Telegram. There is no per-chat fee, so a busy week costs the same as a quiet one. Prices checked in August 2026.

Yes. Small stores usually start on Markleyo’s Starter plan: $29 a month, or $14.50 a month for the first term with code EARLY50. That gives you up to 5 chatbots, 5 websites and channels, 50,000 credits a month, the built-in knowledge base and human handover, with no charge per conversation. The Shopify connection is included on every plan, so you never pay extra just because you sell online. There is a 5-day free trial, and you can cancel from your dashboard. When your store grows, the Growth plan opens up unlimited chatbots and unlimited websites.

Three steps, around ten minutes. First, create your chatbot in Markleyo and train it on your store URL, plus any PDFs, spreadsheets or FAQs you have. Second, connect Shopify from the integrations screen so the bot can read products, prices and order data. Third, copy your embed snippet, open Online Store → Themes → Edit code → theme.liquid in Shopify, paste it just before the closing </body> tag and save. The chat bubble then shows on every page, including product and cart pages. You do not need a developer, an app review or any change to your theme design.

Yes. It trains on your products, descriptions, options, prices, pages and policies, so it suggests real items that are actually in stock and quotes the price you actually charge. It answers from that library only, which is why it will not invent a discount, a size you do not stock or a delivery promise you never made. Add a new product or change a price, and you can retrain the bot so it stays in step with your store.

Yes, that is most of its job. It answers “where is my order?”, explains delivery times, checks stock, walks a shopper through your return or refund rules and books a call if one is needed. These repeat questions are usually the biggest chunk of a store’s inbox, and around 90% of them get closed without your team stepping in. Markleyo is a chat and sales agent rather than a full ticketing help desk, so if you need formal ticket queues and SLAs, keep a help desk and let Markleyo take the front line.

No. The widget loads separately from your page, from a fast CDN, so it never blocks your storefront or holds up your images and product content. Your Core Web Vitals and page speed stay where they were.

It works with any Shopify theme, free or custom, and with every Shopify plan including Shopify Plus. Because it is a small snippet rather than a theme app block, it also works on heavily edited and headless storefronts. You can match its colours, avatar and position to your brand in a couple of clicks.

Yes. It spots the language a shopper writes in and replies in that language, across 70+ languages, so you can sell in new countries without translating your whole store.

The bot hands the chat to your team and passes the full conversation with it, so your agent picks up halfway through instead of asking the shopper to start again. Everything lands in one shared inbox with your website, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and Telegram chats, and you can reply from your phone.
