An AI chatbot for ecommerce only matters if it helps a store sell. Text® AI Agent does, and October's updates give you more to show. Affiliate partners get faster demos to share. Solution partners get quicker setups to bill for and clearer sales numbers to report. Everyone has AI. Sell and promote AI that actually does something.
Text shipped 12 updates in October. Below are the ones that matter most for your partner business, with ideas for putting each to work. New here? The Text Partner Program has paths for affiliate partners and solution partners.
Start selling from a Google Shopping feed
Most online stores already keep a Google Shopping feed up to date. Now they can connect it and start selling with Text AI Agent in seconds. It's the simplest way to explain an AI agent for ecommerce to a new audience, because the pitch is short. The AI Agent sells the products the store already lists.
For affiliate partners
You get a new audience to promote to. Ecommerce owners who already run a feed, whether on Shopify, WooCommerce, or another platform, are a natural fit. Send Shopify merchants to the Text listing in the Shopify App Store, and point everyone else to the free AI Agent test. A setup that takes seconds gives your readers fewer reasons to hesitate, so more of your referrals sign up.
For solution partners
Offer feed setup as a fixed-fee onboarding package. Clients see their first sales sooner, and you get a stronger case for renewals and referrals. Selsey, a Text customer, reports +224% AI Agent sales growth in three months. Read Selsey's story and borrow the angle for your own client conversations.
Let AI do the setup and the writing
Two October updates move work from your team to the AI. Clients can now describe what should happen, and Text turns it into a skill for a task on the team's task list. Every step stays editable, even after activation. Conversion Radar campaigns also use AI-personalized content by default, so the AI agent writes a separate message for each customer.
Both updates show what an AI sales agent looks like in practice. One speeds up setup. The other writes each message.
For solution partners
Package workflow setup as a paid service. Clients describe the outcome, you shape and review the steps, and you take on more accounts in less time. Add a monthly campaign review on top, so clients get sharper offers and you build recurring revenue.
For affiliate partners
Both updates make easy content. Share a how-to with sample prompts for common ecommerce workflows, or put a before-and-after campaign message side by side. A visible result is easier to click on, so more of your visitors reach the free test.
Show clients where the money comes from
Text measures impact in dollars, and two October updates sharpen the numbers clients see. Sales Report now has a Group by option, so clients can break down total value, total orders, and average time to order by team, teammate, or agent type. And sales attribution got tighter. Text now credits chat for orders placed within seven days of a chat, down from 30 days. Chat performance is the same, measured more precisely.
One heads-up for every partner. With the shorter window, reported chat revenue may look lower than before. Performance didn't drop. The measurement got tighter. Say so before anyone asks.
For solution partners
Own the reporting conversation. Brief clients before their numbers shift, and offer a paid reporting review that explains the change. Turn the grouped Sales Report into a monthly sales review, and charge for recommendations on where to improve.
For affiliate partners
Add a short FAQ on sales attribution to your content, so lower numbers don't surprise your readers and your recommendation keeps its credibility. A screenshot of the grouped report adds real sales data to your story.
More October updates worth sharing
Instagram deserves its own mention. Instagram DMs and story replies now land in the Inbox, where the AI agent and teammates answer them like any other chat. For social-first brands, it's an easy way to talk about an Instagram chatbot that works inside the same Inbox as every other channel. Write about turning DMs into sales, and you reach a fresh audience.
A few smaller updates also give you something to use in client check-ins and content:
Qualified leads get their own Customer List segment. Show clients which follow-ups are worth their time.
Tickets show a customer's order details. Feature it in ecommerce support content about faster after-sale service.
Ticket skills in Inbox apply several updates in one click. Build custom ticket skills for support-heavy clients as a paid project.
Quick actions open from a slash in the message box. Teach it in a short tip video or a training session.
Reports can switch time zones, so international teams see the same numbers. Mention it in content for global clients.
Where to start this week
Pick one update and turn it into something you can share or sell before the month ends. Affiliate partners can start with the Google Shopping feed, since it's the quickest demo to show. Solution partners can start with automation from a description or the attribution change, since both fit a paid service.
Everyone has AI. Your clients and readers want AI that actually does something, and October gave you plenty to show them. Test Text AI Agent free to see it sell, or become a partner in the Text Partner Program to start earning from what you share.
