The short answer
Glasses are a sized product: lens width, bridge and temple length are printed on every frame, and a buyer who knows their old pair's size looks for it. Prescription glasses need a prescription, and anyone without a recent one needs an eye-test appointment. ArabyBot Store shows each frame's measurements as specs, adds a box where the buyer uploads their prescription photo with the order, and sells the eye test as a booking product with a day and hour.

The test is a booking product: you set the days, hours, slot length and how many people per slot, and the buyer picks a free time.

Details ‹VAT and a simplified invoice with a QR code on every order.
Details ‹Selling eyeglasses on WhatsApp: the AI seller answers from your products
Someone ordering prescription glasses asks about size, lenses and the prescription. The AI seller answers from the frame's specs:
My old glasses are size 52 — is the acetate frame the same size?
Yes, the acetate frame is 52-18-145, available in black and havana at SAR 450. When ordering you upload your prescription photo so the shop prepares the lenses to it.
My prescription is old — do you do eye tests?
Yes, eye tests are by booking. The next free slot is tomorrow at 5 pm — shall I book it for you?
An illustration. The AI seller reads prices, sizes and stock from your store at the moment of the question and records the order inside the chat. How the AI seller works.

Mistakes that cost a eyeglasses store
- A frame with no written size
A buyer who knows their size will not gamble. The three measurements sell.
- The prescription in a separate message
The photo gets lost among chats. The prescription box keeps it on the order itself.
- Booking eye tests by phone only
A booking product shows the free slots and prevents double booking.
Frequently asked questions
Can the prescription photo be required?
Yes, make the box required on optical frames so the order cannot complete without it, and leave it off sunglasses.
Do I sell lenses at an extra price on top of the frame?
Yes, the lens type is an option with differently priced variants, or a box with an extra price.
Does the bot answer medical questions about eyesight?
It does not diagnose or prescribe; it answers about products and appointments and books the test.
