Is this one still available?
Hi, I'm Northside Outdoor's AI assistant. That's our Trail Hoodie in blue. It's in stock in small, medium and large, at $49.00. Which size would you like?
Medium please
Good choice. The Ridge Beanie in blue goes well with it, at $18.00. Would you like one checkout link for both?
Yes, both please
Here's your checkout link for the hoodie in medium and the beanie. You'll pay on our Shopify checkout.
Thanks! Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
Yes, you can return unworn items within 30 days. For a return, email our team at [email protected].

What it does for shoppers

A shop assistant in their pocket.

It works from your real store, so what it says about a product is what's in Shopify right now.

Products and stock

It answers questions about your products, prices and what's in stock, straight from your store.

Send a photo, get an answer

Shoppers can send a photo of the product they mean, and it helps them find it.

One well-placed extra

It helps people choose, and when it helps, it suggests a fitting extra item. You choose how keen it is.

A link to buy

It sends a link to your own Shopify checkout, even for several items at once.

Order status and tracking

"Where's my order?" gets a real answer once the shopper gives the order number and the email on the order, or confirms their email with a code.

It remembers returning shoppers

It recognises people by their number when they message again.

You stay in charge

It helps your shoppers. It doesn't run your store.

It never changes your store

It reads your products and orders and makes checkout links, and that's all.

Honest about being an AI

Its first reply says it's your store's AI assistant, and it only helps with your store.

Refunds and complaints come to you

For refunds, returns and complaints, it gives the shopper your support contact. Connect your email and it also sends your team a short summary.

Questions

Things store owners ask.

No. It reads your products and orders and makes checkout links. It never changes your store.
Only after they give the order number and the email used for the order, or confirm their email with a code. It never shares a delivery address, phone number or payment details, and it can look up orders from the last 60 days. For an older order, it gives the shopper your support contact.
From the information you add during setup, such as your shipping and returns details. When something isn't there, it says so and gives the shopper your contact details.
Not yet. It sees photos, but for voice notes, videos and documents it asks the shopper to type their question instead.
No. It replies to shoppers who message you. It doesn't start conversations.
Meta bills WhatsApp messages to your own WhatsApp account. Replies to shoppers are free for up to 1,000 a month per number. Hania's own usage is billed as shown on our pricing page.
Yes. Shopify Sales & Support is the same kind of assistant for the chat on your store's website.

Sell where your shoppers already chat.
