Colton vs Zoko
Zoko is built for WhatsApp commerce on Shopify — catalogs and checkout. Colton is a broader AI-agent platform that also resolves support, grounded in your data.
Zoko focuses on selling on WhatsApp for Shopify stores: catalogs, cart and checkout flows, and broadcast campaigns. If commerce is your only goal, it is purpose-built.
Colton is broader: an AI agent that answers order-status, product and support questions from live store data, recovers carts, and hands off to humans — across e-commerce and beyond, with a shared inbox and CRM.
