KIBO’s Cart Takeover feature enables customer service representatives to take over an online cart and make changes, so that the cart has the shopper’s desired products and options. For instance, a shopper may need help ordering several custom products with complex configurations. A CSR can take control of the shopper’s cart, browse for products, select options, and add or remove them from the cart.CSR’s can do this for both anonymous and registered shoppers.
