Abstract :This research examines the customers’ comments about the chatbots published in a customer complaint website while shopping from an e-commerce site or app. First, 89 customers’ complaints were imported from a customer complaint platform to a single document. Then, the document was subjected to content analysis using a qualitative research tool, Maxqda Plus 2022, and each comment was categorized under related complaint categories. Second, the frequency of customer complaints categories was calculated using the same tool. Additionally, visual maps for each category were created to make the complaints more understandable. While these categorical variables have been addressed in previous studies, variables based on consumer feedback have only been included in this study. According to the research findings, the most frequent customer complaint category is about meaningfulness (with a share of 47.6% in the general total). The least frequent ones are the inability to find a real contact person and the absence of chatbot service (with a share of 7.9%).
