The problem it solves

You want customers or partners to be able to trigger an order without giving them full access to your store's checkout system. Building that safely by hand means worrying about duplicate orders and broken links.

Who it fits

An online store owner on Shopify or WooCommerce who takes orders through an app, chatbot, or partner integration.

How it works

  1. An order request comes in with the product, quantity, and customer details
  2. A unique reference is generated so the same request can't create two orders
  3. A draft order is created through the checkout service
  4. The customer or requester receives the invoice link right away
What you get

Orders that turn into ready invoices

Every checkout request becomes a ready order with a payable invoice link sent back to your customer right away.

What you get

A draft order and a ready-to-pay invoice link returned instantly to whoever requested it.

What you need

A Sitewai account connected to your Shopify or WooCommerce store.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
