ccording to a research by Accenture, AI could potentially boost profitability rates by an average of 38% across 16 industries by 2035. AI will particularly benefit the retail sector because of its immediate impact on two fundamental areas that have a serious impact in retail ecommerce; creating a very personalised shopping experience and making smart business decisions. Artificial intelligence in ecommerce is also helping ecommerce platforms to cater the needs and interest of the users. 1. AI-Assisted Product Recommendations Retailers are able to use Big Data (the collection and compilation of data from different channels, previous transactions and other activities) to determine the trends in the shopping habits. This analysis could be used for personalized product recommendation. 2. Advanced Semantic-Based Search When we talk about personalization in the context of ecommerce and customer support, right now there is nothing better than intelligent customer engagement at every point of contact. One of the most important aspects of personalization is the ‘search result’. With advanced semantic-based site search, customers are able to easily navigate the store and find the relevant products without wading through a lot of unnecessary results 3. Chatbots Chatbots might just be the ultimate solution for the customer support woes. The good news is that modern chatbots are able to interact with customer databases and extract details of a customer and respond in the most appropriate and personalized way in real-time. Chatbot provides a comfortable customer experience that keeps visitors from leaving the website without making a purchase. 4. Virtual Assistants Other application of artificial intelligence in ecommerce is through virtual assistants. Virtual Assistants contribute a lot in creating an efficient sales process. These assistants communicate with customers to understand their preferences and provide them with an intuitive shopping experience. 5. Efficient Company-Wide Decision Making Pricing and Inventory Management Pricing products is no more a guess work. AI can use complex learning algorithms that assess market dynamics and all the other relevant factors of market competition. Optimal pricing of the merchandise helps a business stay relevant and ultimately succeed in a competitive environment. Business Analysis Putting all the data to use, you can also determine the kinds of products and business actions that have decreased efficiency, increased conversions, and if anything needs readjustments. These comparisons pertain to market share, pricing patterns and overall progress of a business. 6. Cybersecurity Enhancement Ecommerce websites have a ton of customer data that will be vulnerable if there aren’t any proper cybersecurity measures in place. Detection of New Threats Unlike traditional software, AI software tend to get smarter with time as new types of malware and threats emerge. Therefore, they will be able to quickly detect malware or ransomware attacks on your website before they’re able to cause any serious problems. Blocking Out Bots Bots form a large amount of the internet traffic today, and they can prove to be dangerous. Bots can steal credentials, create fake accounts and cause data fraud. 7. Sales Forecasting Sales forecasting and inventory management has become an absolute necessity for every business. To avoid any unforeseen shortages or stock run-outs, ecommerce businesses can now use artificial intelligence for sales forecasting. Software like Mintigo make use of AI to predict future sales based on consumer patterns and help decision-makers predict the results of their marketing efforts. 8. Fighting Fake Reviews Believe it or not, online reviews can make or break your brand. One fake review from your competitor or a bot can turn things around for your brand

ClicShopping has now a first implementation about api rest. For more information about how to use it, we recommend you to read our wiki on github. If you do not know what is an API REST, we invite you to read this website. https://restfulapi.net/

Time-based one-time password (TOTP) is a computer algorithm that generates a one-time password (OTP) that uses the current time as a source of uniqueness. As an extension of the HMAC-based one-time password algorithm (HOTP), it has been adopted as Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard RFC 6238.[1] TOTP is the cornerstone of Initiative for Open Authentication (OATH), and is used in a number of two-factor authentication (2FA) systems. A Time-Based One-Time Password or TOTP is a passcode valid for 30 to 90 seconds that has been generated using the value of the Shared Secret and system time. How it works inside CliShopping, You have two options you can activate, one for the administration protection and one on Catalog login. The approach is the same for the both. You insert your email and your are redirected on Topt page QR code. You have just to scan the code with your phone. Aministration Login : Protection 1 Connexion : You must enter you login and password. If it's does not work you must restart. It's security normal process Protection 2 Ip identification : You Ip is registred everytime you want to try to log inside the administration. After 5 times (you can define), you account is blocked and you must wait to try another time. You can also receive an email to know if someone try to connect on you admin Protection 3 Double authentification by TOTP: (option) This is an option where you can include the TOTP identification. The process is quite simple. If you activate the TOTP, the first time when you tried to connect inside the admin, a TOTP password is generated and save inside your database. After a QR code appears and you must terminate your identification with the sanc of your QR code and include the number given by your phone. The process compare the TOTP number with your QR code number and allow you to connect or not inside the administration. The login This the same process as the administration. Protection 1 Connexion : You must enter you login and password. If it's does not work you must restart. It's security normal process Protection 2 Double authentification by Topt : (option) Same process as the Administration for the TOTP authentification. Conclusion : This approach is not a perfect process security but allow you to have something best with a low interference with the action client. It's in coformity with the regulation recommandtion proposed in Europe. You can activate this process only for administration or for the catalog. It's independent process. For example, Amazon is more restritive about the double identification because you must receive a code on your smartphone. The problem with this approach if you tried to connect with another computer and you do not have your phone, you can not. In other part, with the TOTP process implemented inside the ClicShopping, you can use on every computer. To increase the application security and data storage, you always have a compromise to choose and there is always a repercution on your client. For moment, it can be transparent, another moment, it must do an action. Also you can increase again the security to include and antispam App and create different kind to security approach inside different ClicShopping forms. The point aborded here is only about the identification.
