Slad logo Slad

The operating system for local stores and online shops.

Slad is the operating system for local stores and online shops: a real online store with checkout on your own domain, an AI assistant that runs it from a sentence (add a product, set sizes and stock, change a price, run a discount, fulfill an order), and an AI phone line that answers the calls you miss, texts the shopper the product photo and a secure checkout link, and takes the order. Show up first on Google and in AI search, win back the carts that walk, and let verified-buyer reviews sell for you. One operating system from $49 a month, no agency, no team to hire, no ad spend, no app-switching, no extra tools.

Slad is the store, checkout, Google and AI visibility, reviews, and AI phone line your shop runs on. One system, live the same day.

See exactly where shoppers leave without buying, and what each lost sale is costing you.

What your shopper experiences

Six things your shopper does on their own, so you do not have to.

Your shopper finds the store, judges the product, and pays, on their own phone, at 11pm, in their own language, without one message to you. If you also sell in person, a counter sticker puts the same store in a walk-in's hand.

1

They can judge it without touching it

Every product carries several photos and a short video, so a shopper can see the drape, the finish, the real scale of the thing. The page loads in whatever language their phone is set to, with the price in the currency they actually spend.

2

The right size, or an honest sold out

Stock is tracked size by size, so a sold-out medium greys out instead of taking an order you cannot fill and refunding it three days later. Nobody buys something that was never coming.

3

Checkout in seconds, from their phone

Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card, on the same screen. No account to create, no password to remember, and no redirect to a checkout page that looks nothing like your brand. The money settles into your own account.

4

If they leave, the cart comes back

Most shoppers do not buy on the first visit. When one fills a cart and closes the tab, Slad emails them a link that reopens the exact cart they left, and tracks that click through to the order, so the recovery is counted in real dollars rather than a vague uplift claim.

5

If they would rather just call

Some people will not buy off a page. They phone. Your line answers, tells them what is actually in stock and what it costs, texts them the product photo and a secure checkout link, and takes the order without you touching it.

6

After it ships, they vouch for you

Only real buyers get asked to review. Their words land on the product page where the next shopper is deciding, and the rating is what lets Google show stars beside your result. A returning shopper then checks out in one tap.

No app to download. No account to create. No redirect to a checkout that looks like someone else's. And nobody on your side needed to take the order or run the payment.

Above is what your shopper experiences. This is what you stop paying for. Each card names the tool it retires, so the value stack proves itself capability by capability instead of asking you to take the headline on faith.

The tools this replaces

Get Found on Google and AI Search

Show up when a shopper asks an AI where to buy. Every product page ships pre-rendered with structured data, so Google and AI assistants read your prices, stock, and verified ratings on the first pass.

Replaces an SEO or AI-visibility agency

Product Videos + AI Studio

Send a photo, get a finished page with video. Several shots plus a short clip that plays in your storefront, cleaned up or placed in a luxury scene, with no photoshoot.

Replaces a product photographer and editor

A Real Store, Not a Link in Bio

A hosted storefront you own, not a link in a bio. Your domain, your money, stock tracked per size, prices in the shopper's currency, and checkout with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card.

Replaces a store platform, theme, and domain (Shopify Basic runs $29/mo billed yearly, plus apps)

Reviews Built In, Not an App

Verified-buyer stars, rendered into the page. Only real buyers can review and the rating sits in the HTML, which is what lets Google show stars beside your result. You see each one before it lands.

Replaces a reviews app

Win Back Every Cart

The cart that walked comes back on its own. An automatic email reopens the exact cart, and Slad tracks the click through to the order, so you see real dollars rather than a vague uplift claim.

Replaces a cart-recovery and email tool

One Catalog, Everywhere

Maintain one catalog; three channels stay current. Fed to Google Shopping, Instagram, and Facebook and updated automatically as you change a price, a size, or what is in stock.

Replaces a product-feed app

And how you run it, with no extra tool

Run It All From a Sentence

Type what you want; it happens. Add this product. Mark the mediums sold out. Run 15% off this week. It knows your catalog, orders, and customers, and answers with your real numbers.

Instead of a virtual assistant, or your own evenings

A Phone Line That Sells

Answers every call, and closes it. It knows your live stock, texts the product and a secure checkout link the caller pays themselves, and recognizes returning numbers. Never a card read aloud.

Replaces an answering service or a receptionist

Buttons, When You Want Them

A full dashboard, when clicking beats typing. Orders, products, inventory, and customers: the same store the assistant runs, so a change in one shows up in the other.

Included the same store, laid out to click

Six paid tools and an agency, replaced by one subscription from $49 a month.

Add up what those line items cost you separately this month. That number is the comparison, and it is yours to check rather than ours to claim.

The whole surface

You run the entire store by talking to it.

No dashboard tour, no settings to hunt for. Here is everything the assistant actually does, grouped the way you would go looking for it. Every line is something you get by asking in plain words, and every line is also a screen in the dashboard if you would rather click.

  • Every call logged where you can read it

What your shopper gets

  • A real storefront on your own domain, with cart and checkout
  • Sold-out sizes greyed out, not oversold
  • The page in their language, prices in their currency
  • Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card, no account to create

Live across your store and your feed in 3 simple steps

Set it up in one sitting, then run it by typing a sentence. You approve; Slad builds the product pages, turns your photos into video, feeds the catalog to Google and Instagram, invites your buyers to review, wins back the carts that walk, and answers the calls you miss.

Under an hour

to set up, and you go live the same day.

Minutes a day

to run it. You tap approve; Slad does the work.

No retraining

Shoppers self-serve on their own phone. Nothing for you to demo, and the calls answer themselves.

  1. 1

    Go live the same day

    Your store is stood up for you, already populated, so you are never staring at an empty page. Connect your channels, then bring your products across in bulk or just send your assistant a photo of each one. Connect payouts to your own account and you are taking real orders the same day.

    Phase: Setup

    Store, checkout, domain, Google, and channels live in one sitting.

  2. 2

    Run it from a sentence

    Minutes a day, from your phone. You type what you want instead of clicking through screens, so the jobs that used to mean a dashboard session now take one sentence. Everything else runs whether you are looking at it or not.

    Phase: Run

    Orders come in. Photos become products. You tap approve.

  3. 3

    Get found, and get the sale back

    Nothing else to schedule. The work that used to need a calendar reminder now runs on its own timing, whether or not you are looking. Your only recurring job is tapping approve on what Slad drafts for you.

    Phase: Results

    More reviews. More carts won back, counted in dollars. More shoppers finding you in Google and AI search.

Frequently asked questions

The questions store owners ask before they sign up.

Pricing
What's the price, and what's the catch?

No setup fee, and the price on the page is the price. Four plans, and a real online store with checkout is in every one: Listed $49, Brand $99, Complete $199, Studio $399. Every plan gets the AI assistant, verified-buyer reviews, automatic cart recovery, and Google and AI-search presence. Here is the honest catch, since you asked. Some things genuinely are gated: your own domain and the AI phone line start at Brand, AI discovery and the Google and Instagram catalog feed start at Complete, and the studio has a monthly generation allowance rather than being unlimited (3 images on Listed, up to 60 images and 15 videos on Studio). Slad also cannot invent your products for you, so you still have to bring a catalog or the photos to build one from. 7 days free, no contract, cancel yourself.

ROI
What return can I expect?

Fair question, and here is how to think about it rather than a number we made up. The return sits in three buckets you are leaking from today: carts that walk, calls you miss, and search you are invisible to. Take carts. Roughly seven in ten online carts are abandoned, an industry figure that has held for years across dozens of studies. Slad emails every one of those shoppers a link that reopens their exact cart. The part that matters: it tracks that click through to the order, so what you see is not a vague uplift claim, it is the actual dollars that recovery brought back, reported to you inside the app. Do the same arithmetic on the calls a phone line now closes instead of dropping to voicemail. We would rather you check those numbers against your own first month than take a promised multiple on faith, which is exactly why Slad reports them back to you.

Features
What exactly does Slad do?

A lot, all in one app: a real online store with checkout on your own domain, an AI assistant that runs the whole thing from a sentence (and a full dashboard if you prefer buttons), an AI phone line that answers your calls and can text a shopper a checkout link, AI product photos and video, verified-buyer reviews, automatic abandoned-cart recovery counted in real dollars, and one catalog fed to Google and Instagram.

AI assistant
What can the in-app AI assistant actually help me with?

It does not just answer, it acts. It already reads your catalog, orders, customers, inventory, and reviews, so you can say "add this product," "set sizes S through XL," "mark the mediums sold out," "drop this to $38," "run 15% off this week," "ship order 1041," or "who bought twice this month," and it does it and answers with your actual numbers. It will also clean up a product photo, turn one into a short video, and draft outreach to past customers or wholesale buyers for you to approve. If you would rather click than type, the same store has a full dashboard for orders, products, and inventory.

Messages & calls
What happens to the messages and calls I miss?

You get your own business number that answers every time. It knows your live catalog, so it can tell a caller the price, the sizes left, and what the thing actually is. Then it does what a voicemail cannot: it texts them the product photo and a link to that item, builds their cart on the call, and texts a secure checkout link they pay on themselves. It never takes a card number out loud. It recognizes a returning customer from their number and can pull up their order, takes a message when that is the right answer, and hands the call to you when a human is.

Reputation
What if a shopper has a bad experience?

Before a shopper is guided toward sharing, they rate their order. If they select a low rating, Slad routes that feedback privately to the owner before it goes public.

Content
How does Slad turn one photo into a video?

No, Slad connects to them. Slad syncs your product catalog to Google Shopping and Instagram and Facebook shops, kept up to date automatically as you change products, so your items appear there and shoppers check out on your own store. You connect your Google and Meta accounts once and keep your audience.

Buying
Can shoppers buy a specific product right from the store?

Yes. Your whole catalog sits on your storefront with real checkout, so a shopper browses, adds to cart, and pays without talking to anyone. If they would rather call, your phone line can text them a link straight to that product and a secure checkout link.

Channels
Does Slad replace Google Business, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube?

No, Slad connects to them. Slad syncs your product catalog to Google Shopping and Instagram and Facebook shops, kept up to date automatically as you change products, so your items appear there and shoppers check out on your own store. You connect your Google and Meta accounts once and keep your audience.

Discovery
Will Slad help new shoppers find me, even in AI search?

Yes. Slad structures your products, prices, and verified reviews so Google and AI shopping assistants can read and recommend them, and lists your store on the Slad shop guide.

Operations
Will I have to retrain my staff?

There is nothing to retrain. Your shoppers self-serve on the storefront, and you run the store side by typing a sentence rather than learning a dashboard. If you also have a counter, a sticker hands a walk-in the same store on their phone, and that is the whole of it.

Category
Is Slad an agency, or a tool, or a booking-system replacement?

None of the above. Slad is the operating system a local store or online shop runs themselves. If you have no real online store, Slad stands one up; if you do, it runs the front of it.

Ordering
Can shoppers buy right from the store?

Yes. Your storefront carries your live catalog with real checkout on your own domain, so any product can be bought from a phone, at any hour, with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card.

Setup
How long until we're live?

Same day. Your store is stood up already populated, so you are never staring at an empty page, and average setup is under an hour: bring your products across in bulk or send your assistant a photo of each, connect payouts, and you are taking real orders. Stickers go out for the counter if you sell in person.

Ordering
Can shoppers buy without changing my store software?

Straight answer: Slad stands up its own storefront rather than bolting onto your current one. What it does not make you do is rebuild. It imports your existing Shopify or Woo catalog with prices in bulk, so you are moving a catalog, not starting over, and you can keep selling wherever you sell today while you decide.

Cost
What's a cheaper alternative to a marketing agency?

A marketing agency runs $2,500+/mo and only handles your posts. Slad is an operating system that does the marketing and runs your storefront.

Reputation
How can I stop bad reviews before they go public?

Every buyer is invited to review after their order ships. The verified reviews build trust on your product pages, and you can hide any that are unfair or off-topic before they do damage.

Content
How do I turn product photos into videos automatically?

Upload one product photo and Slad turns it into a polished short video with the motion, light, and warmth a still photo can't show, then adds it to that product so it plays right on your product page in the storefront, with no filming or editing.

Local stores and online shops
What's the best all-in-one app for local stores and online shops?

Slad is built for local stores and online shops: a real store with checkout on your own domain, an assistant that runs it from a sentence, a phone line that sells, verified reviews, automatic cart recovery, and one catalog fed to Google and Instagram.

Research
Are Slad's claims and revenue numbers backed by real research?

Yes. Every claim on this site, and every default in the revenue calculator, is tied to a published source: peer-reviewed research (for example, the Harvard study linking a one-star-higher rating to 5 to 9% more revenue for independent businesses), established research firms like BrightLocal, Rival IQ, and Gartner, and clearly-labeled industry data. Where a study gives a range, we use the conservative end. You can read every source, tagged by how credible it is, on the research page.

Word of mouth
How does Slad get my shoppers posting about me?

Honestly, Slad cannot make anyone post, and you should be suspicious of a tool that claims it can. What it does is ask every real buyer for a review once their order lands, then put those words and stars on the product page where they do the most work. The AI Product Studio is the other half: a product shot good enough that someone actually wants to send it to a friend.

Category
Is Slad an alternative to Shopify, Square, or BigCommerce?

Slad is more than a store builder. Shopify, Square, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce are checkout-first: they hand you a dashboard and the transaction, and everything else is your job or an app you pay extra for. Slad stands up the store and then runs it: you add a product or change a price by typing a sentence, the phone line answers and sells, abandoned carts come back on their own, verified reviews collect themselves, and the catalog feeds Google and Instagram. Slad is not claiming those tools cannot do their piece. It replaces the stack with one flat price.

Inventory
Does Slad handle sizes and stock properly, or will I oversell?

Stock is tracked per size, not per product. If the mediums are gone, the medium greys out on the storefront and nobody can buy it, so you are not refunding an order you could never ship. You set it the same way you do everything else: tell your assistant "set sizes S through XL" and "mark the mediums sold out," or change it in the dashboard. The same numbers flow out to your Google and Instagram catalog, so what people see there matches what you actually have.

Dashboard
Do I have to run everything through chat, or do I get a normal dashboard?

Both, and they are the same store. Typing a sentence is the fast path when you are on your feet: "drop this to $38," "ship order 1041." But you also get a full store dashboard with orders, products, inventory, and customers laid out the way you would expect from any store admin. A change you make in one shows up in the other immediately, because there is only one store underneath. Use whichever suits the moment.

Getting paid
Who actually gets the money when a shopper checks out?

You do, into your own payment account, on the normal payout schedule. Slad does not sit on your money or hold a balance you have to request. Shoppers pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card on your own store, and if your shoppers are in another country the prices show in their currency. When the AI phone line takes an order, it never handles a card number out loud: it texts a secure checkout link and the shopper pays on that link themselves.

Every store gets a Slad page.

Four plans, and a real online store with checkout is included in every one.

What changes the day Slad goes live

Slad is not another marketing layer you have to manage. Your storefront, your catalog, your orders, your Google presence, your channels, your reviews, and your phone line all sit in one operating system you run by typing a sentence, with no agency, no team to hire, no ad spend, no app-switching, and no extra tools.

1 Before Slad: where the money leaks

  • Your products have no reviews and no structured data, so Google and AI shopping assistants recommend the stores they can actually read, and yours is not one of them.
  • A shopper adds to cart at 11pm and leaves. You never find out it happened, and the sale is simply gone.
  • Changing a price or marking one size sold out means logging into a dashboard, hunting the product, and clicking through five screens, so you put it off and oversell what you do not have.
  • Your best products sit flat, because a real photoshoot costs money and a day you do not have.
  • A 1-star review is already public by the time you see it.
  • Your calls go to voicemail while you are on the floor, and the order goes to whoever the shopper calls next.
  • You are stitching it together with five subscriptions, or paying an agency $2,500+ a month to do it for you.

2 With Slad in place: what you get back

  • Verified-buyer stars and structured data are baked into every product page, so Google and AI assistants read, rank, and recommend you on the first pass.
  • You get a real store on your own domain, stock tracked size by size, and the money landing in your own account.
  • Every review comes to you first, so you hide the unfair one before it ever goes public.
  • Any product photo becomes a luxury shot and a short video, with no shoot.
  • Every walked cart gets an email that reopens the exact cart, and you see the exact dollars each recovery brought in.
  • The calls you miss get answered by a phone line that quotes what is in stock and texts a secure checkout link they pay on themselves.
  • One flat price, run by typing a sentence. No agency, no team, no ad spend.

On the storefront

Simple for staff

Your team does not need a long explanation. They can simply say: Your shopper never has to ask you anything. What is in stock, which sizes are left, how much it is, when it ships: the storefront answers all of it, so the questions stop landing on you.

Online

Online, on autopilot

Slad turns your photos into product pages and video, feeds the catalog to Google and Instagram, collects verified reviews, wins back abandoned carts, and answers the phone.

Outcomes

More control, less fallout

You get found on Google and in AI search, stop losing the calls and carts that used to walk, and let verified reviews do the selling, so sales go up while you touch less of it.
