VanChat AI Chat & AI Chatbot

This is the first AI chat tool we’ve used for our website. What amazed me was that it took only a few minutes to capture the website information and handles at least 85% of customer questions from the start. You need to train it for questions that are not mentioned anywhere on the website. After a certain period of time, it became a full 24/7 assistant.

Lucas has been very helpful and patient walking me through issues whenever I have trouble using this app. There were some unexpected charges, but he addressed our concerns reasonably.

Set this up on a small Shopify store in a category where accuracy matters
more than chat volume. We have claims we are not allowed to make, so an
assistant that improvises would be a liability rather than an asset.

The AI Instructions layer is what won me over: a global instruction plus
separate scenario rules, so you can hard-code what the assistant must never
say. I tested it with deliberately leading questions, the kind designed to
pull an overclaim out of a bot, and it held the line every time. Product and
page knowledge synced from the store with no work from me.

Two things to know going in. The global instruction is capped at 1500
characters, which is tight if you have a lot of rules, though the scenario
rules absorb the overflow well. And the setting that makes the widget visible
to customers lives on the Dashboard rather than in Widget Settings, which
took me a while to find.

VanChat handles nearly 98% of our pre-sales inquiries, including order tracking and product questions. It’s smart, accurate, and even sends summary emails to help improve future responses. It has greatly reduced our support workload.

I’ve had a very positive experience with VanChat. The support team is very responsive and always handles my requests quickly. When I need to make changes or fix issues, the team follows up efficiently and helps resolve problems without long waiting times.
I’m also impressed with how well VanChat understands our product pages. It can learn and capture product information in detail, making the responses more accurate and helpful for customers.
Overall, VanChat has made customer communication much easier and more efficient. The fast support response and strong understanding of our products have greatly improved the service experience.

The proactive sales feature is incredibly powerful, and this app's AI capabilities are the most powerful I've experienced among most Shopify online customer service plugins! It can resolve most customer inquiries. It doesn't have bloated, complex settings and features, and it won't affect your internet speed. I once used a chat plugin with the highest download count, and it was so laggy every day that it made me question my existence. Replying to over twenty customer service replies was a huge waste of time, and I kept getting errors when typing in the code.

Great app! Easy to install and works very well. The AI chatbot is helpful and improves customer communication. Highly recommended!

Nous avons eu une incompréhension avec le service VanChat mais une intervention rapide de leur part a permis de résoudre notre problème. Le Bot nous a permis de réaliser des ventes

Je viens d'installer cette application et j'ai déjà fait une vente ! C'est vraiment très bien fait et l'installation est rapide. J'ai eu un petit souci avec le widget et l'assistance m'a aidée très efficacement et en quelques heures. Je recommande à 100%

I deleted the app, but not because it is bad, rather because I am in a hurry to work on a fully ready AI interface. The app is wonderful, very easy to understand, very nice, and responsive. But since it is still under development, I can't wait, and I will definitely come back to it someday again when the app is 100% ready for use. I really thank you.

Hey, could you confirm whether VanChat is EU‑US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) certified – and if not, whether/when it's planned?

Alternatively, do you offer EU data hosting / EU data residency (so no data leaves the EU)?

We need one of these so European merchants can use the chat in a GDPR‑compliant way. Thanks!
