Add an AI Chatbot to Your Magento 2 Site Without Code

Skip the developer bills, this guide shows Magento 2 store owners how to connect, style, and launch a sales-ready AI chatbot using drag-and-drop tools and native Magento blocks.

A smart chatbot can turn curious shoppers into confident buyers, but hiring a developer to build one often blows the budget for small-to-mid-size Kiwi retailers. With EnvokeAI’s AI Chat Agents platform, you can launch a fully branded assistant on Magento 2 in under ten minutes, no coding required, no extensions to maintain, and no late-night emails to overseas contractors.

Why Magento 2 Merchants in Aotearoa Need an AI Chatbot

  • Instant answers: Customers get reliable help after hours, on weekends, and during public holidays.
  • Smaller support queue: Common queries about delivery times, GST invoices, or size guides never reach your inbox.
  • Fewer abandoned carts: Proactive prompts recover visitors who hesitate at checkout.
  • Local data hosting: With EnvokeAI, your chats reside on New Zealand-based servers, keeping latency low and privacy laws simple.

Meet AI Chat Agents by EnvokeAI

AI Chat Agents is a point-and-click tool built for store owners who want results, not jargon.

  • Drag-and-drop styling: Match button colours, fonts, and icons to your current Magento theme.
  • Knowledge-base training: Upload PDFs, paste policy text, or link product pages so the bot speaks with authority.
  • Real-time dashboard: Watch conversations as they happen and jump in if needed.
  • Fair pricing in NZD: Plans scale by chat volume; GST is included.

Step 1: Create Your EnvokeAI Account

Step 2: Choose a Plan

Every plan includes unlimited page views, custom branding, and full transcript history. Pick the tier that matches your monthly traffic—you can upgrade any time with one click.

Step 3: Build Your Chatbot

Inside the dashboard, select Create Chatbot and follow the guided wizard. Here’s what you’ll need to provide:

  • Bot name: Friendly label customers see, e.g. “Shop-Helper”
  • Avatar: Upload a square PNG (128 × 128 px)
  • Colours: Match your Magento buttons for seamless branding
  • Business info: Shipping cut-off, return window, customer-service hours
  • Knowledge base: Add product manuals, FAQ PDFs, or paste text

Sample Greeting:

Kia ora 👋 How can I help you today? Ask me about sizes, delivery, or current specials.

Copy the text above into the Welcome Message field for a warm local touch.

Step 4: Embed the Chatbot in Magento 2

There are two simple methods. Both keep future theme updates hassle-free.

Option A: Use a Static Block (Recommended)

  • In Magento Admin, go to Content > Blocks and click Add New Block.
  • Name the block “EnvokeAI Chatbot”.
  • Switch to HTML view and paste the embed code copied from AI Chat Agents.
  • Save the block.
  • Navigate to Content > Widgets and add a new CMS Static Block widget.
  • Assign the widget to All Store Views and choose Footer as the container.
  • Select the EnvokeAI Chatbot block, then save and clear cache.

Option B: Insert as Miscellaneous Script

  • Go to Content > Design > Configuration.
  • Click Edit on your active theme.
  • Scroll to HTML Head > Miscellaneous Scripts.
  • Paste the embed code and save.
  • Flush cache.

Refresh your storefront, your chat bubble should appear bottom-right. Open it to run a test conversation.

Step 5: Optimise for Sales

  • Cart-value trigger: Offer free shipping when cart subtotal exceeds a threshold.
  • Product suggestions: Train the bot with your top sellers and related accessories.
  • Exit intent: Enable a friendly prompt when the cursor moves toward the browser tab.
  • Holiday hours: Add a quick reply informing customers about order cut-offs for Christmas or Matariki.

Step 6: Monitor and Improve

Use the Conversation tab to:

  • Review transcripts, spot unanswered queries, and update the knowledge base.
  • Tag high-value leads and push them into your CRM via Zapier.
  • Track common keywords to refine product descriptions and SEO.

Schedule a weekly review for the first month, then monthly once the bot’s accuracy settles.
