Multi-turn catalog ordering in chat uses topic configuration and detail nodes to orchestrate end-to-end conversations, guiding users from item discovery through variable collection to cart submission while preserving context across turns.

Conversational catalog ordering allows users to discover and order service catalog items through a chat interface. It is needed when traditional catalog forms cause friction or abandonment and you require guided variable collection and disambiguation for complex items.
