Conversational commerce: a key performance driver for fashion e-commerce
In fashion e-commerce, consumer expectations have significantly evolved. Shoppers now expect fast, personalized, and reassuring experiences, similar to what they would receive in-store. Yet most fashion e-commerce websites still rely on rigid navigation based on filters, categories, and keyword search.
Conversational commerce directly addresses this gap by allowing users to express their needs in natural language and receive real-time guidance toward the right products or information.
Why fashion e-commerce still suffers from friction
Buying fashion online comes with many uncertainties:
- Difficulty finding the right item within large product catalogs
- Doubts about size, fit, fabric, or occasion
- Frequent questions about shipping, returns, and exchanges
These frictions lead to cart abandonment, overloaded customer service teams, and high return rates, which are especially critical in the fashion industry.
