About Kindly
Did you know that roughly 98% of potential customers leave a website without buying anything? That's a lot of potential revenue lost. 😨
Customers also leave websites because the sites lack basic functionality. Customers want to easily report faults, fill out forms or get answers to simple FAQs. 💬
In most cases, e-commerce sites don't understand their customers and what they need. 🛍
Kindly is the solution. We've built innovative products that e-commerce sites need to offer customers the best possible experience and to sell more. 🟢
