An AI business platform is one place that runs a small business's everyday work - selling, payments, customer conversations, bookings and marketing - with AI doing the repetitive parts. Pludor is one example: a free store with checkout, POS and bookings, an AI receptionist, AI Studio for content, and a marketplace that helps people find you, all sharing one set of data.
An AI business platform runs the everyday work of a small business in one place and uses AI where it saves time: selling online and in person, taking payments, answering customers, making product photos and posts, and being found. Pludor is one: a free store with checkout, POS and bookings, an AI receptionist, AI Studio for content, and a marketplace and AI feeds that help people find you.
It's a single place that runs the everyday work of a small business - selling online and in person, taking payments, answering customers, making marketing content - with AI doing the repetitive parts like answering common questions and writing product descriptions. The value comes from everything sharing one set of data, so the AI knows your products, prices and customers. Pludor is one example, with a store, checkout, POS, bookings, AI receptionist and AI Studio included.
Yes, it's free to start: every feature is on, there's no item limit and no card needed. You pay a fee on paid orders (4.99% + $0.90 per order) and credits only for usage past the monthly free amounts, such as 3,000 visits, 100 AI replies and 30 bookings. Your store, checkout and orders never switch off for lack of credit.
It depends on the platform, but Pludor charges $0 to start with everything switched on, and you only pay for what you use past the monthly free amounts, in credits where 1 credit = 1 cent. Optional monthly plans are Starter $9, Growth $29 and Scale $79 - these are credit bundles with bigger free amounts and a lower order fee. There's also a 4.99% + $0.90 fee per paid online order.
Pick a platform, enter your store name, and you can usually have a live link within minutes. On Pludor you open a free store with one field, then describe your business in a few sentences and AI writes your description, adds items with photos, builds a website and switches on AI answering in about a minute. You can also set everything up yourself if you prefer.
Yes - AI receptionist services answer calls, texts, WhatsApp and chat using your business knowledge, and can book jobs into your calendar. On Pludor this is built in: the AI receptionist answers up to 10 calls a month free, and AI replies cover 100 messages a month free, with the AI knowing your products and prices because they come from your store.
No. On Pludor your store gets its own live link straight away, and the platform can build a website for you - the first one is free. You can share the link via WhatsApp, a QR business card or your social bio, and customers order and pay right on the store page.
Shopify is a dedicated ecommerce platform with a monthly subscription, while Pludor is a broader AI business platform that includes a store plus POS, bookings, an AI receptionist, AI content tools and a marketplace - with no monthly fee required. Pludor charges 4.99% + $0.90 per paid order and credits only past the free monthly amounts, instead of a base subscription. Which fits better depends on whether you mainly need ecommerce or want answering, bookings and marketing in the same place.
On Pludor the AI only answers from what you teach it and your store data, so it won't invent facts about your business. It also asks for your confirmation before anything that spends money, books, posts or sends on your behalf. You can see every charge in Credits & billing, so nothing runs invisibly.
Yes. Pludor is designed so you start with the one tool you need and the rest stays out of your way. For example, you can use the AI receptionist alone - it's free up to 10 calls a month - and add POS, bookings or marketing later as you grow. Everything is already switched on, and you only pay when you use it past the free amounts.
It means event-triggered rules that run without you - for example on a new order, new lead or missed call. On Pludor that includes automations for stale leads and abandoned orders, win-back emails, comment auto-replies, and AI Missions that set up a whole workflow from a plain-language description. 200 automation runs a month are free.
