Brands used to look for a commerce platform that could do everything. But over time, one vendor was no longer enough to meet a brand’s needs, so they added, and added, and added— and now it's essential that these vendors work well together. That’s composable, and it’s important to get it right. Customers and your board expect you to be in new channels and to adapt quickly to market change.

But once a customer signs up, it’s left to a handful of badly written FAQs to help people get the most from the product. It’s no wonder up to 60% of users who sign up for a free trial use a product once and never come back. At Intercom, we believe that providing educational and motivational help content leads to loyal and engaged customers.
