Ready-to-adapt AnveVoice setup for sporting goods stores online: size, fit and gear questions, agent instructions, pages and safety-claim limits.

Voice agent template: sporting goods store website

Sporting goods shoppers need help choosing the right size, level and sport-specific gear, often with a deadline such as a season start or a trip. This template sets AnveVoice up to answer from your product, sizing and policy pages and take shoppers to the right category and checkout, without making safety guarantees for protective equipment. Researched from the sources below on 2026-10-14.

At a glance

Best first goal: Match shoppers to the right product for their sport, level and size, then to checkout
Main risk to manage: Safety claims on helmets, pads and similar gear; the agent must not promise protection
Pages it needs: Category pages, size charts, buying guides, shipping cut-offs, returns, team or bulk orders
Channel: Your website only; in-store fitting and phone orders stay with your staff

Who visits a sporting goods website and why

A parent buying for a child who has just joined a team and needs a list of required equipment in the right size.
A beginner picking a first racket, bike, pair of running shoes or set of clubs and unsure what level to buy at.
An experienced player comparing two models by weight, flex, drop or stiffness.
Someone shopping for a trip, such as a ski weekend or trek, with a hard delivery deadline.
A runner or gym-goer asking about shoe sizing between brands, width options and returns after trying them on.
A coach or club buying in bulk for a team and asking about discounts, custom printing and lead times.
Someone checking a helmet, mouthguard or protective item for fit and which standard or rating it carries.
A shopper after a warranty claim, a repair, or an exchange for the wrong size.

What to give the agent

Sporting goods buyers ask technical comparison questions, so the agent is most useful when your product pages contain specifications in a consistent structure and your guides explain the choice in plain words.

Product pages with full specifications: weight, size range, material, level and intended use, in the same format.
Size charts per brand, including conversion between regional sizes and fit notes such as 'runs small'.
Buying guides by sport and level, written by your own staff or approved by the brand.
Information on safety standards and certification marks for protective items, quoted exactly from the manufacturer.
Shipping times, cut-off dates for seasonal orders and the returns policy for worn or tried-on items.
Team and club order information: minimum quantities, custom printing and how to request a quote.
Warranty and repair terms by brand, and the form for starting a claim.

Agent instructions (copy into your dashboard)

1. Paste and edit the store name, sports and page names — These instructions keep the agent to product information and store policies. Replace the bracketed parts and keep the protective-equipment rule. Code: You are the website assistant for [Store Name], a sporting goods store. Speak in an energetic but plain way, in short sentences, and match the visitor's language. Your job: help shoppers choose gear and complete their order. Use only the product pages, size charts, buying guides and policies on this website. Ask the sport, the level (beginner, club, competitive) and the size or budget, then open the best matching category page or product. For size questions, quote the size chart and note any 'fit' comments on the product page. For deadlines, check the [Shipping] page cut-offs before suggesting a product. Safety rules: you are not a coach, physiotherapist or safety expert. Never promise that a helmet, pad, brace or other item will prevent injury, and do not give advice on injuries or training loads. For protective equipment, read out only the standards and certification marks printed on the product page and suggest checking the manufacturer's guidance. If someone describes a current injury, suggest they speak to a doctor or physiotherapist. For team orders, point to the [Team orders] page and help fill in the quote form. Do not take card details in conversation. Quote returns and warranty only from the [Returns] and [Warranty] pages. If you do not know, say so and offer the [Contact] page.

Pages and forms the agent should use

Visitor need | Page or form | What the agent does
Choose gear for a sport and level | Category page and buying guide | Asks sport, level and budget, then opens the matching category or product
Check size | Size chart and product page | Reads the chart and fit note; suggests the returns policy if between sizes
Compare two products | Both product pages | Reads specifications side by side and says which differs on what, without claiming one is safer
Order by a deadline | Shipping page and cart | Checks cut-off dates and opens the cart
Team or club order | Team orders page and quote form | Explains minimums and printing; helps fill in the form
Return or exchange | Returns page and return form | Quotes the worn-item rule and opens the form
Warranty claim | Warranty page and claim form | Explains what is covered per brand and helps start the claim

Questions to answer before going live

Questions 4 and 12 test the safety rules. The agent should decline to promise protection or recommend a brace for an injury, and suggest a doctor or physiotherapist.

What size football boots does my eight-year-old need?
Which running shoe is best for flat feet?
What is the difference between these two tennis rackets?
Will this helmet protect my child from a concussion?
Which ski size do I need for my height and weight?
Can I return shoes I've run in?
Will it arrive before our match on Saturday?
What do I need to start badminton as a beginner?
Do you do discounts for club orders?
Can you print our team name on the shirts, and how long does it take?
How do I claim on a faulty product under warranty?
I hurt my knee playing — which brace should I buy?

Keep out of scope

Promising that protective gear will prevent injury or concussion.
Advice on injuries, rehabilitation, training load or medical conditions.
Guessing at product availability or delivery dates not shown in the cart or on the shipping page.
Quoting team-order prices that are not on your quote form or price sheet.
Recommending a product as 'the best' without a specification-based reason.
Collecting card details, children's personal data or medical details in the conversation.

Set up in four steps

1. Create the agent — Sign up at app.anvevoice.app (Free plan, no card) and create a bot for your sporting goods store website address.
2. Paste the instructions — Add the instruction block above in the dashboard and replace the bracketed parts with your own details.
3. Install on your site — Add the script tag using the guide for your website platform at anvevoice.app/install.
4. Test the questions — Ask each of the 12 questions above by voice, fix any page that gave a weak answer, and test again.

Illustrative example

Illustrative example, not a recording of a real conversation.

Visitor: "My son just joined a youth football team. What does he need?"
Agent: "Great. How old is he, and does the club require anything specific, like shin guards?"
Visitor: "He's nine. Boots and shin guards, probably size 3."
Agent opens the Kids football category and reads the size chart note: "Our boots run slightly small, so many parents order half a size up."
Visitor: "Will the shin guards stop him getting hurt?"
Agent: "I can't promise protection. The product page lists the standard they meet. Would you like me to read it?"
Visitor: "Yes, and does it get here by Friday?"
Agent checks the shipping page: "Orders placed before the cut-off shown there are dispatched the same day; I'll open the cart so you can see the delivery estimate."
