  2. Policies and FAQs: add shipping, returns and payment FAQs under Knowledge & Rules.
  3. Assistant: set Sales Style Balanced, Response Length Short, Languages to your markets.
  4. Instagram: connect the channel. Create a Price questions comment automation: trigger price, cost, how much, public reply "Sent you the details by DM", DM flow with the product and Open URL button to the product page.
  5. Website chat: add the widget with your best FAQs on the home screen.
  6. Alerts: enable New Lead notifications and check Sales > Orders daily.

Customer journey

  1. A follower comments "price" on your sneaker reel.
  2. They get a public reply and a DM with the price and a link.
  3. They ask "Do you have size 42?" and the assistant answers from your catalog and documents.
  4. The assistant records the order, which appears under Orders.

Tips

  • Keep prices only in the catalog. Do not repeat them in FAQs.
  • Use Sale Price to flag promotions; the assistant sees it as On Sale.
  • Run a "giveaway entries" comment automation to grow followers, then follow up with a product flow.

Limitations

  • Orders list the customer's request; BaTimo does not take card payment in chat.
