Shop module
Product showcase in DMs; your catalog, your checkout
A customer asks in DMs “Do you have a pendant light for the living room?”. The showcase should read from the same catalog your store manages.
shagerdAi shows categories and products, runs OTP and cart creation through the store path, and keeps payment on your site.
The right sales-architecture model
Catalog on your systems
Your store API or site is the source of truth for products.
Display in DMs
Customers see categories/products in chat and choose.
Checkout on your site
Purchase continuation, payment, and address complete where you own it.
Why aren't products created inside the bot panel?
If every bot has a separate warehouse, inventory becomes dual and inconsistent. For a real shop, one catalog source is enough and the DM tool should read from it.
That is why shagerdAi does not offer an internal PIM for creating and editing inventory.
Which shops is it for?
Shops that already have a site or catalog API (for example a custom store or WordPress with API) and want to connect Instagram to that same purchase path — not rebuild the catalog from scratch inside the bot.
What is needed to connect?
APIs for category list, product list, OTP send, and cart creation are enough. Inventory is not rebuilt in shagerdAi, and the page owner needs no special technical knowledge.
Q&A
- Does payment happen inside Instagram?
- The designed path keeps checkout on your own site; shagerdAi does not own your store payment gateway.
Connect the showcase to DMs
If you have a catalog API, configure the shop module after connecting the page.
