Turn WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and Web Chat inquiries into confirmed sales. AutoBiz guides customers through product selection, captures delivery details, attaches bank transfer slips for staff review, and provides an instant hosted web storefront.

Natural Language In-Chat Checkout

Customers do not need to fill out complex web checkout forms. The AI extracts items, variants, and delivery coordinates straight from casual conversations in English, Sinhala, or Singlish:

Intent & SKU Extraction

Interprets requests like “Mata black color medium t-shirt 2k ona Colombo 03 delivery walata” and matches items against your live inventory.

Delivery Address Parsing

Extracts recipient name, mobile contact number, street address, postal code, and nearest landmark, prompting politely if any field is missing.

Order Summary Confirmation

Presents a crystal-clear itemized breakdown with product unit prices, delivery fee, total in LKR, and asks for customer confirmation before creating the order.

Cash on Delivery (COD) & Bank Transfer

AutoBiz caters specifically to Sri Lankan consumer buying habits with zero friction payment workflows:

Cash on Delivery (COD)

When COD is selected, the agent sets the order status to CONFIRMED (Pending Dispatch). The full customer contact and delivery details are recorded in your dashboard for straightforward fulfillment with your preferred Sri Lankan courier service.

✓ Automatic phone number format normalization (+94 / 07X)
✓ Clear delivery fee notification before final confirmation
✓ Instant notification to merchant dashboard
Direct Bank Transfer

When bank transfer is selected, the AI delivers your exact bank details (Bank Name, Branch, Account Number, Account Name) stored under your merchant settings, and instructs the customer to send their payment receipt in the same chat.

✓ Automatic bank account details dispatch
✓ Supports Commercial Bank, HNB, Sampath, BOC, Seylan, etc.

Bank Slip Receipt Collection & Manual Verification

AutoBiz keeps your payments secure and organized without third-party settlement risks:

Auto Attachment

Receipt photos uploaded by the customer in chat are automatically attached to the pending order record.

Direct Image Preview

Your team can view the receipt screenshot with a single click inside the dashboard order modal.

Manual Security

You verify that funds have genuinely settled into your bank account before approving dispatch.

Staff Authority

The AI never marks bank orders as paid autonomously, preventing fraudulent slip releases.

* Note: AutoBiz is an administrative tool and does not provide automated banking clearance or courier dispatch. You maintain full authority to confirm bank deposits and arrange shipment with your courier partner.
