AI assistant for Shopify

An AI assistant that retrieves orders, recognizes tracking info, prepares returns and answers product questions — connected directly to your Shopify store, with a team member in control.

Request demo

Short answer: An AI assistant for Shopify is software that automatically handles customer questions by retrieving orders, customers and products live from your Shopify store and preparing concrete actions.

What an AI assistant does in Shopify

An AI assistant for Shopify goes beyond a chatbot: it looks up the actual order via the Shopify Admin API and acts based on that. This means customers get accurate answers and your team keeps time to spare.

  • Retrieving orders by order number or email address
  • Recognizing and sharing tracking information
  • Checking and preparing address changes
  • Handling cancellations within the rules
  • Answering product questions with live stock levels
  • Preparing returns and creating a replacement order
  • Viewing stock and combining customer data

Connected to Picqer and Returnless

For complete answers, the assistant combines Shopify with your fulfillment and returns software. Picking status comes from Picqer and returns run through Returnless. See also our Shopify platform page.

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI assistant modify Shopify orders?
