Everything a Shopify store needs from a chatbot.
The free plan does the heavy lifting — selling, answering, and capturing leads — so you can see the value before you ever think about upgrading.
Help shoppers find products
Customers describe what they want in plain language and the chatbot surfaces the right products from your catalog instantly.
Answer questions 24/7
Sizing, shipping, returns, order status — the free chatbot handles common questions around the clock so you don't have to.
Capture and qualify leads
It collects emails and qualifies interest naturally during conversations, turning browsers into contacts you can follow up with.
Free chatbot for Shopify, answered.
The honest answers to what's free, what's not, and how to get started.
Is there really a free chatbot for Shopify?
Yes. Chatkit offers a genuinely free plan, so you can add an AI chatbot to your Shopify store, train it on your catalog, and go live without paying anything and without a credit card.
Is the free plan free forever?
Yes — the free plan is free to keep using. You only ever move to a paid plan if you choose to, as your store grows and you need more usage.
What's included in the free chatbot plan?
The free plan includes an AI chatbot trained on your store, automatic catalog sync, product recommendations, 24/7 pre-sale and support answers, and an on-brand chat widget that matches your theme — all with no code.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. Chatkit is free to install and use. Paid plans simply add more usage and advanced capabilities for higher-traffic stores as you scale — you can see the details on our pricing page whenever you're ready.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can install the chatbot from the Shopify App Store and launch it on the free plan without entering any payment details.
Can I upgrade later as my store grows?
Absolutely. Start free and move to a paid plan only when you need more usage or advanced features. Your setup, branding, and training carry over.
Does the free chatbot work without code?
Yes. There's nothing to code. You install Chatkit, toggle the App Embed in your Shopify theme, and the chatbot is live on your storefront.
Will the free chatbot match my store's branding?
Yes. The chat widget pixel-matches your store's look and feels native to your theme — no iframes and no awkward third-party branding, even on the free plan.
