FAQ
Questions about e-commerce customer support
Which store platforms can you connect?
We can connect platforms that have open connections, such as Shopify and WooCommerce. We check other platforms and tools during the audit.
Can it process refunds automatically?
It can, but we suggest starting with a person approving them. Later, you could automate low-value refunds that meet clear rules.

We can add cart and post-purchase messages through marketing automation, using consent rules for each channel.
