“Can conversational commerce on WhatsApp become a complete chat-to-checkout sales channel powered by AI agents?”
SleekFlow began in 2019 as an omnichannel messaging platform centered on WhatsApp Business API, Facebook, Instagram, and other channels. It layered commerce on top of conversations — first via Shopify catalog integration and in-chat Stripe/Shopify payment links — and has since pivoted toward AI-driven 'AgentFlow' agents that handle sales, support, and follow-up across chat. Embedded finance is intentionally light-touch: payments are routed via Stripe/Shopify rather than SleekFlow becoming a merchant of record.
SleekFlow processes payments through Stripe and Shopify Payments.
SleekFlow uses Airwallex for FX and cross-border payouts.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 2 layers in SleekFlow's stack: Payments / PSP (Stripe and Shopify Payments); FX & payouts (Airwallex).
SleekFlow was founded by Henson Tsai and is founded in 2019, headquartered in Hong Kong.
