Bots do what humans cannot — tirelessly search the internet for the best deals and products, helping you save time and money. But with so many shopping bots hitting the web, it’s hard to know which ones will serve you best.
Here at TrustSpot, we’ve compiled a list of the 25 best shopping bots to augment your shopping experience.
Shopify is already one of the largest eCommerce distributors on the internet. Its messenger bot helps businesses and customers buy or sell products.
Customers can browse and even purchase products directly in the messenger app. The user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing design makes the experiences seamless to a customer’s daily habits, such as scrolling through the app while waiting for their coffee order.
The Shopify Messenger bots allow merchants to send automated shipping updates on a customer’s product, improving shipping transparency to customers while freeing up labor for the company.
There’s a 14-day free trial for Shopify Messenger, and it doesn’t require a credit card. Customers and merchants can safely use this shopping bot before deciding if it’s right for them.

Once you tell the bot your city, dates, and accommodation preferences, SnapTravel scours the web to find you exclusive deals for your trip. You can even confirm your bookings through the bot service as well.

Customers can use Letsclap in the same way they use Alexa or Google Home for shopping. For example, someone can ask Letsclap to reorder their contact prescription. The bot obliges and delivers a seamless shopping experience. Should an issue arise, though, human tech personnel are waiting on the sides to fix any issues. It’s the best of both worlds.
