Can the assistant fill the cart and lead to checkout?

Yes, it fills a cart in the chat that sits with XICBOT, not in your shop. The cart assistant puts it together, changes quantities, factors in coupon codes the operator has set up and shows shipping costs and the threshold for free shipping. “Continue” then opens your shop's stored address with a one-time pickup key that lets your shop fetch the cart from XICBOT, provided it integrates that pickup itself. Checkout and payment stay in the shop.

It also addresses cart abandoners: if a conversation is stuck on an open question, it clarifies that question or shows an alternative instead of letting the visitor go. How such abandonments can be recovered in the chat is described in the article recovering cart abandonment with chat.

A product card in the conversation shows image, title, price and rating, plus a struck-through price if one is on file in the catalog; if a field is missing, the spot stays empty instead of being guessed. The cart itself is a writing tool and only runs after a confirmation in the window. Until then the operation stands in the transcript as a proposal with a status word.

Every writing call carries a one-time key that the database locks against, so a double click does not trigger two operations. If the call goes to an outside system, it runs through exactly one connector with target checking, a deadline of eight seconds and a cap of 64 KiB, without a retry; the outcome then stands in the log as “deadline exceeded” or “failed”. What the cart assistant covers and what has to be set up in the shop for it is described on the shop assistant page.
