One link cannot show a catalogue
Shoppers want to compare, and a single link only shows one thing.
One link, one product
Whatever you send, the shopper sees one item and has to guess at the rest.
Walls of links
Pasting five links into one message is hard to read and harder to tap.
Shoppers who drift away
When the right product is hard to find, people stop looking and leave.
How a carousel DM works
Five cards, one swipe, one tap each.
Build up to five cards
Each card has an image, a caption of up to 80 characters and one link button.
Shoppers swipe in the chat
They browse your products sideways, right in the conversation, without leaving the inbox.
Each button opens its link
One tap takes them to that product, booking page or offer.
