Answer Shopify store customer questions with an AI sales agent
A commenter uses Rep.AI on a Shopify store to handle routine shipping, promo and product questions, reporting 97% handled without handoff.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- A Shopify store owner in gardening and hydroponics said they use Rep.AI’s AI live chat on their store. They described it answering customer and prospect questions, filling product-knowledge gaps, giving product advice, and taking over Shopify messages, emails, and webform queries instead of handing them to a human.
- How it went
- They said it pays for itself in sales and reduced Shopify messages to zero. In their reported last 30 days, it handled 28 conversations and resolved 97% of queries without handoff.
- Worth knowing
- The biggest catch from the thread is scale: the only metric shared was 28 conversations in 30 days, so the reported results came from a fairly small volume.
