I head up customer experience at Re:amaze and we work with merchants on Shopify, Bigcommerce, and WooCommerce. These alternatives all have something to offer that is unique to a particular merchant's business preference. Shopify is much easier to set up and offers more direct access to marketplaces. Bigcommerce is a bit more powerful for high volume, high GMV businesses looking for headless commerce. WooCommerce is, of course, low cost and works with WordPress and that's a huge plus for many merchants. These are very basic differences but merchants should look at every platform to see which one suits them best.

My brother in law bought one the moment he saw one. Returned it for a different color. Now he has 9. It's been 4 days. These things are definitely a phenomenon and the eCommerce world is going crazy.

There needs to be a right balance between bot and human. Personally, I think bots are a replacement for UI, not a replacement for real conversations. I want to use a bot when I activate a credit card for example. It's a glorified "activate" button in lieu of actual UI, but if I have fraud on my card, I want to talk to a human, because I want a conversation, not a substitute for a series of UI decisions. We're on track for developing an "assistant" bot of our own here at Reamaze. Our starting point for AI at Reamaze is a bot for assisting agents with responses, not customers.
