Fixed-price Shopify AI support agent and order-status chatbot
Shopify AI Customer Support Automation, Without the Daily Chore
Shopify ai customer support automation answers the routine questions at any hour: where is my order, what is your return policy, can I change my address, with the order read from Shopify and a hand-off to a person when the case is not routine. Gorgias, Tidio and Chatbase differ in what they may do on an order, and none publishes independent accuracy data. We choose the tool, set the limits and test it on your own tickets, from $290.
- Order status answered from live Shopify data
- Clear limits on what the bot may do: track, but not refund without a human
- Escalation on low confidence, large refunds or frustrated customers, passing the full context
- Test log and a recorded handover

Who this is for
Who Our Shopify AI Customer Support Automation Service Is For
A bot that guesses is worse than no bot. These are the cases we build for.
You are a good fit if
- Your store runs on Shopify
- You can describe the rule in a few sentences
- You want a fixed price and a written scope
- You can share the access we ask for
Stores with where-is-my-order tickets
Order tracking is well supported across platforms and removes most repetitive tickets.
Owners worried about bots issuing refunds
Tidio's Lyro cannot refund or cancel without a human; Gorgias' agent can act on orders. We set the permissions.
Teams with angry customers
Damaged orders, billing issues and frustration go straight to a person.
Agents tired of repeating
The handoff passes the transcript, order and what the bot tried.
Owners watching AI pricing
Per-outcome pricing claims conflict. We trial on your tickets before committing.
Stores comparing tools
Gorgias, Tidio and Chatbase differ on actions and handoff. We compare.

How We Build Your AI Support Agent and Order-status Chatbot Automation, Step by Step
Six stages, in order. Nothing touches live orders until you have seen it work on a copy, and your calculator choices decide how long each stage takes.
- 1
Brief and rules
The brief covers how AI support agent and order-status chatbot works now, who is involved and what goes wrong. Each rule is written in plain words, such as: when a customer asks where their order is, then look up the order and answer.
- 2
Access and platform
You grant limited access to Shopify and the other tools. We pick a platform, show the monthly cost and confirm the link with a live read.
- 3
Map the data
The data map covers order number, tracking status, policy text and conversation; formats are checked on both sides and blank values are given a rule.
- 4
Build in a copy
Nothing is built on live orders. The workflow runs on test data first, and you see the plan, plus a recording if useful.
- 5
Test on real cases
The tests cover an order-status question, a refund-policy question and an angry customer, along with refunds and edits, and each result is checked against Shopify.
- 6
Go live and hand over
After your approval we turn it on, follow the first live runs, then hand over notes, a diagram and a short recorded tour.

Inside every project
Six Safeguards Built Into Every Automation
None of these costs extra. They are simply how we work.
Plain scope, two revision rounds
The price is visible before you pay, and in-scope changes get two structured rounds, so small tweaks never turn into hourly bills.
Build in a copy, never live
Everything is built and tested on test data, so your live orders and questions stay untouched until you approve.
Failures raise a flag
When a run fails, a named person is told which order and why. Silence is never taken as success.
A written definition of done
A workflow is finished when it handles an order-status question, a refund-policy question and an angry customer correctly and the results are logged.
Narrow access, in your name
We request only the permissions the workflow needs, and you own every account.
Nothing sent without approval
No message to a customer goes live until you have read and approved it.
Interactive price calculator

Why Store Design Expert
Why Hire Us to Automate AI Support Agent and Order-status Chatbot
Most of this job is clicking, and you could do it. People hire us because the unglamorous parts, ids, timing and edge cases, decide whether automation helps or hurts.
Notes a colleague can follow
Handover notes record the flow of events and the choices behind each setting, ready for whoever works on it next.
A direct line to the builder
You talk to the person working on your workflow, and questions about a rule or field get a plain answer.
Experience since 2015
A decade and more than 450 stores later, few automation quirks are new to us.
Tested on your real cases
Your real scenarios are the test plan: an order-status question, a refund-policy question and an angry customer.
We live inside Shopify
Orders, refunds, edits and metafields are what we handle every day, which is a different skill from knowing a tool's menus.
A price you can plan around
You see the cost and extra days for each choice in the calculator. Platform fees are separate, and we estimate them for you.
What we need to get started
Getting Started: What We Ask For
The list is short. Most owners have everything ready in a day.
Approve a collaborator request
If the store is live, send us its address and approve our request. Ownership stays with you, our role is limited, and removal takes one click.
Starting from nothing? We build first
No store yet? We build it in our Partner account, set up the workflow there and transfer the whole store to you, so you choose a plan only at the end.
Or share a staff login
Sharing a staff login is possible. The collaborator route is safer, though: one click removes it and no password is passed around.
Access to the other tools
You can invite us to each connected tool, or we can open accounts with your email. Either way, ownership is yours.
Examples of the work today
Tell us where recent cases live, or send a handful. Real examples beat assumptions.
A decision-maker
Who signs off the rules and the test? And when two rules disagree, which wins? Those two answers are all we need.
Your Shopify owner password and card details never reach us. Changes are made in a copy, and we note every setting we touch.
