AI customer service agent that resolves orders, refunds and returns for ecommerce brands
After order verification, the agent can cancel, refund, change shipping addresses, remove unshipped items and start returns inside Shopify rules.
Drafts appear as internal notes in the helpdesk your team already uses, and Aide can take over an inbox once you take it live.
Aide Helpdesk provides an AI-first inbox with routing, SLAs and macros, while Aide Chat embeds on any site and on Shopify storefronts.
Every topic is set to AI Agent, Drafts or None, refunds wait for teammate approval, and an audit log records every action.
