## Description

Say goodbye to intrusive, low converting pop-ups. Boost your revenue and optimize
coupons/discounts with an intelligent gamified sales chatbot.

**Looking for 5x conversion rate?**
 Playful haggling: Gamify your webshop shopping
experience and let your visitors play for their discounts.

**Want to earn more while saving even more?**
 Optimized discounts: Give discounts
when needed and as much as necessary with a sales chatbot.

**Struggling to get more emails?**
 Grow your list: as an incentive-based solution,
visitors will give their email after a successful haggling session.

**Take a look at how Alkubot works in our [Demo Store](https://demo.alkubot.com/)**

**How to install Alkubot:**
 Create an account and follow the installation instructions
[HERE](https://app.alkubot.com/signup).

**Alkubot will turn casual, hesitant visitors into a returning buyers.**

**Negotiator Bot**: Imagine that a potential buyer is browsing your store. But somehow
he is not committed to buying so he is thinking about leaving. That’s when Alkubot
comes to save the day. By starting a negotiation chat with the visitor, Alkubot 
can playfully sell your products by giving a discount. This way a hesitant buyer
becomes a returning one.

**Optimized Conversion**: Most customers are price sensitive, that is why they search
for another store when they see that the price of a product is too much. An already
left customer can be attracted back to the site by using remarketing techniques 
and giving discounts. Alkubot saves these costs for your webshop while increasing
conversion rate.

**Gamified Shopping**: Instead of using outdated and frustrating pop-ups, you can
get your visitors buying from you with a gamified and interactive way. With the 
help of Akubot, visitors have to work for their discounts, this way, they value 
it more. Instead of fixed discounts, Alkubot helps the seller and the buyer finding
the ideal discount rate.

**Features**

 * **Quick Settings**: Even with only one input and Alkubot is ready to make deals.
   Just set the maximum discount that Alkubot can give and it is good to go.
 * **Max Discount**: Set a maximum discount and Alkubot will find the price point
   that would make the visitor buy the product.
 * **Deal Button**: You can set up a deal button on the product pages so the visitor
   can start negotiating for the product right away.
 * **Email Lists**: Alkubot can even ask for an email address before giving a discount
   code so you can grow your email list.
 * **Multi-language**: Alkubot automatically knows the language of your website 
   and will use this to communicate with the visitors.
 * **Detailed Chatbot Settings**: Customize when Alkubot pops up and start doing
   its job: should it pop up after x seconds or when the visitor tries to leave 
   the page etc…
 * **Quick Pause**: In case you want to pause/restart your Alkubot campaign you 
   can do that with just one click.
