Multiple commerce touchpoints exist today, such as physical stores, online channels, and social channels. Consumers expect a personalized support experience in all of them.

This feature helps you increase cart conversions to sales, increase personalized engagement with consumers, and enhance customer service by integrating Dynamics 365 Omnichannel for Customer Service with Dynamics 365 Commerce.

Feature details

Customer service functionality is now a part of Dynamics 365 Commerce. This functionality leverages the capabilities of Dynamics 365 Omnichannel for Customer Service.

Site administrators can configure a chat widget on their e-commerce site with proactive notification capabilities based on different criteria. The chat can be invoked proactively based on different triggers like time spent on the site, number of visits to a page, cart value, or the number of items in the cart. Customer context is passed to the Omnichannel for Customer Service for the chatbot and the live agent to act on behalf of the customer.

Customer service agents can better serve customers by using a unified view of profile and transaction data across the Dynamics 365 apps in the Omnichannel for Customer Service support channel. Agents can act on data from the service channel.
