What it handles

The questions your customers ask every day

They come right before the purchase, often in the evening. Without a quick answer, the cart stays empty. The chatbot answers them with your store's own information.

When will it arrive?How do I return an item?Which size should I pick?Can I pay with Afterpay?Do you offer 2-day shipping?My promo code doesn't work
Where is my order?Do you ship to Canada?What fabric is it?Do you offer gift wrapping?When is it back in stock?Do you sell wholesale?

Setup

Simple setup on Publisher

Shopify lets you edit your theme's code. You paste the code once into Publisher's theme.liquid layout, and the chat shows on every page. Four steps, five minutes.

Sign up and copy your code

Create your Asyntai account, add your store's address and copy your code from the dashboard. The AI starts reading your pages right away.

Open the theme code

In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes. Next to Publisher, click … → Edit code.

Paste into theme.liquid

Under Layout, open theme.liquid and paste the code just before the closing </body> tag.

Save, and you're live

Click Save and open your store: the chat bubble appears in the corner and is already answering your shoppers.

When you update Publisher, the new version arrives as a separate theme. Paste the line into its theme.liquid too before you publish it. Shopify checkout pages do not load theme code, so the chat stays out of checkout.

03

More sales, same traffic

You already pay to bring in visitors with Google Ads, Meta or marketplaces. The chatbot helps them find the right product and order.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know to add an AI chatbot to your Publisher store.

Does it work with every Publisher version?

Yes. The code goes into layout/theme.liquid, which every Publisher version has. When you install a Publisher update, Shopify adds it as a separate theme, so paste the line there too before you publish it.

Why not an app?

You can use one, but on Publisher you do not need it. One line in theme.liquid loads the chat on every page, with no app permissions and nothing added to your app bill.

Will it slow down Publisher?

No. Publisher is a fast, free Shopify theme, and the chat keeps it fast: the script loads asynchronously, after the page, covers and cart, and adds nothing to your theme bundle.

How does the chatbot learn my products?

When you add your store's address, the AI reads your public pages: products, collections, shipping and returns policies. You can upload documents (size chart, PDF catalog) and add your own instructions. After adding new products, run a new crawl from the dashboard.

Can it suggest books to readers?

Yes. A reader describes what they liked, a genre or a gift idea, and the chatbot suggests matching titles from your catalog as cards, with the price and a link. It answers from your book descriptions, so it only suggests books you sell.

Will it conflict with my apps?

No. The chatbot runs in an isolated space and doesn't change the rest of the page. It works alongside review apps, upsell apps and your email tool.

Does it answer customers who speak another language?

Yes. The chatbot detects the shopper's language and replies in it, also when you sell in several markets with Shopify Markets.

Can I use it on several stores?

Yes. Each store has its own setup and knowledge base. The Free plan covers 1 site, Starter 2, Standard 3 and Pro up to 20 sites.

Guide

How an AI chatbot helps Publisher stores

Readers want a recommendation

Publisher is Shopify's free theme for publishers, bookshops and print brands. In a physical bookshop, a bookseller helps readers choose. Online, readers ask the same things: what should I read next, which edition is this, is it a good gift for a ten-year-old.

An AI chatbot plays that role. It reads your book descriptions, formats and policies, then suggests titles and answers in plain English, in the tone you choose. Readers find their next book faster, and you sell more of your backlist.

Answering the questions that block an order

Most questions arrive just before the purchase: shipping times, returns if the size is wrong, 2-day shipping, paying in installments. If the shopper can't find the answer in a few seconds, they close the tab.

The chatbot answers from your shipping, returns and terms pages. It reminds them of your return window, the carriers you use and your free-shipping threshold. The shopper feels reassured and completes the order.

A salesperson who knows every product

In a store, a salesperson helps with the choice. Online, the shopper is alone with your product pages. The chatbot takes that role: it compares two models, explains the difference between materials, recommends a size or suggests a matching item from your catalog.

Because it only answers from your content, it never recommends products you don't sell and never makes up specs. The richer your product pages, the more precise the answers.

Useful insights for your next campaigns

Every conversation is saved and searchable. Over the weeks, you see which products interest people most, the objections that keep coming up and the information that is missing.

If many shoppers ask whether a product comes in another color, you know what to add to your catalog. If shipping costs keep coming up, you can show them more clearly. The chatbot becomes both a customer service tool and a source of insight to grow your store.
