Automating customer service for your webshop
Which customer questions can you automate, what stays human work, and how do you get started? A practical step-by-step plan to automate your customer service without losing the personal touch.
Request demoShort answer: Automating customer service means having recurring customer questions handled by an AI assistant based on live data, while complex or sensitive matters stay with a team member.
Which questions can you automate?
Most customer questions in e-commerce are recurring and therefore well-suited for automation:
- “Where is my order?” (order status and tracking)
- Return requests and return status
- Product questions about stock, size and material
- Payment and invoice questions
- Questions about delivery times
What should stay manual?
Not everything should be automated. Complaints with an emotional charge, exceptional goodwill requests, and refunds above a certain amount always go through a team member. Read more about human oversight.

Frequently asked questions
Do I lose the personal touch?
No. You set the tone of voice and which questions stay human. The assistant only takes over the repetitive work.
What are the risks?
The biggest risk is incorrect answers. You prevent that by having the assistant work with live data and requiring approval for sensitive actions.
