In the current digital-centric environment, B2C companies compete not just on products, but also on customer experiences. Clients expect fast, simple, and personalized buying experiences. However, numerous ecommerce websites still depend heavily on fixed navigation and keyword-driven searches, often leading to frustration for customers instead of effectively guiding them.
Salesforce’s Guided Shopping approach improves the shopping journey by offering smart, interactive product discovery that assists customers from searching to checkout seamlessly
The Challenge
Most B2C commerce sites struggle with:
- Shoppers getting lost in large catalogs
- Low product discovery due to keyword-based search
- Complexity around selecting product variations (size, color, fit, etc.)
- High cart abandonment during checkout
- A lack of personalized guidance throughout the buying journey
Traditional ecommerce journeys require customers to click through multiple filters, product pages, and checkout steps. The result? Confusion, friction, and lost revenue.
Brands need a way to turn their online store into a guided, intuitive experience that feels more natural and interactive.
The Solution: Guided Shopping Agent for Salesforce B2C Commerce
This is how it works
1. Conversational Product Search
Instead of typing keywords, the user can simply talk or chat naturally.
The agent understands:
- Conversation context
- User’s past purchases
- Browsing history
Using this intelligence, it recommends the best products through Salesforce B2C Commerce’s built-in product recommendation engine.
This makes product discovery:
- Faster
- More relevant
- More intuitive
Customers no longer search—they are guided.
2. Rich Product Display + Variation Selection + Add to Cart
When a user selects a recommended product, the agent presents a clean, interactive product component featuring:
- High-quality images
- Available colors
- Sizes
- Fit or variation options
- Stock-aware availability
The UI dynamically shows only valid combinations, eliminating selection errors and confusion.
Once the preferred variation is selected, the product can be added to the cart instantly—without navigating away from the conversation.
3. Real-Time Cart View
The agent keeps shoppers informed by displaying their cart in real time, including:
- Selected products
- Variations
- Quantities
- Pricing details
There is no need to switch pages. Customers remain in the guided flow while maintaining full visibility into their purchase.
4. Checkout Support (Standard + Google Pay)
To reduce checkout friction and cart abandonment, the agent provides two streamlined checkout paths:
Standard Checkout
Redirects the shopper to the standard Salesforce checkout page.
Google Pay Checkout
A faster, frictionless experience where:
- Saved cards are fetched automatically
- Shipping address is pre-filled
- Shipping options are displayed
- Order totals update instantly
The customer confirms payment with a single tap, significantly reducing drop-offs.
5. Payment Confirmation + Order Creation
Once Google Pay approves payment via Adyen:
- The agent receives confirmation
- Creates the order in Salesforce B2C Commerce
- Returns the order number
- Displays the full order summary
The entire journey—from product discovery to payment confirmation—is completed inside one intelligent, guided experience.
Use Case 1: Global Fashion Retailer – Simplifying Variant-Heavy Shopping
A global fashion retailer with thousands of SKUs faced challenges with product discovery and significant cart abandonment, particularly on mobile devices. Customers frequently become overwhelmed while navigating big catalogs with numerous size, color, and fit options. Traditional keyword search and filter-based navigation made it impossible for customers to rapidly locate the best combination, resulting in confusion and a nearly 68% cart abandonment rate. The company needed to help customers make complicated decisions about what to buy in a more straightforward manner without making things more difficult.
Royal Cyber made the browsing experience more dynamic by integrating a conversational Guided Shopping Agent into Salesforce B2C Commerce. Instead of using keyword searches, users could use natural language to explain what they were looking for, such as a specific color, occasion, or size. The AI-powered assistant recognized conversational context, aggregated browser history and previous purchase activity, and used Salesforce’s recommendation engine to give highly relevant options. Additionally, we created dynamic user interface elements that, in real time, only showed available product variations, removing invalid combinations and minimizing selection errors. The cart was smoothly integrated into the conversation flow, and customers could finalize their purchases using Google Pay, which was coupled with Adyen for frictionless checkout.
As a result, the retailer saw an 18% increase in conversion rates, a 22% rise in product discovery engagement, and a 27% drop in cart abandonment. Mobile conversions improved greatly, and checkout times dropped dramatically. The brand transformed its digital storefront into an intelligent shopping assistant that increased revenue in a quantifiable way by substituting guided interaction for static browsing.
Use Case 2: Consumer Electronics Brand – Enabling Smarter Purchase Decisions
A consumer electronics firm that sells computers and smart devices encountered issues typical of high-value purchases. Customers frequently struggled to understand which configuration would best meet their needs, resulting in high bounce rates and low add-to-cart conversions. Product comparison was common, but customers lacked advisory-style guidance to confidently make purchases. Drop-offs were further boosted by complicated checkout processes, especially for expensive items.
In order to overcome this challenge, Royal Cyber implemented a Guided Shopping Agent that served as a digital product advisor within Salesforce B2C Commerce. The AI assistant conducted organized discussions with consumers, inquiring about their usage requirements, performance expectations, and budget choices. Based on these inputs, it automatically filtered down relevant goods and visually contrasted their attributes. Additionally, the solution incorporated individualized recommendation logic to offer upsell alternatives and complementing accessories that fit the customer’s use case. Using a simplified Google Pay integration, which automatically filled in payment and shipping information to reduce hassle, customers could add configured products straight within the conversational interface and continue to checkout.
Following implementation, the brand achieved a 30% increase in add-to-cart rates, 20% higher average order value, a 25% drop in bounce rates, and significantly longer engagement through guided, conversational product experiences.
