Since the launch of Facebook’s Messenger platform<\/a> last April, over 34,000 chatbots have been written, using simulated texting and chat interfaces to interact with users.<\/p>\n

Chatbots don\u2019t require users to install anything. Chatbots are simpler and cheaper to develop than native apps.<\/p>\n

And now chatbots have the ability to accept payments on Messenger, without sending consumers to an external website. With more than 1 billion monthly active users on Messenger, there are plenty of good reasons for businesses to develop chatbots for the platform.<\/p>\n

While chatbots remain a novelty, until they prove their usefulness to consumers, merchants can evaluate their effectiveness by testing some of the standouts. Here is a list of chatbots on Messenger. There are several chatbots for online stores, as well as online services.<\/p>\n
