AI chatbot for ecommerce

Chat that resolves. Not a bot that deflects.

Aide Chat answers from your real Shopify catalog, shows live order and tracking cards, and changes orders for verified shoppers. When a shopper asks for a person, your team has the chat at once. · By Ziyad Basheer

Paste it once. The chat locks itself to your site, so a copied key can't spend your AI replies.
We currently use Zendesk and as such needed an AI solution that works with our existing CX platform and allows us to fully leverage our Shopify data to cut down support times and costs. Aide was a perfect fit as it integrates with both and seamlessly helped our agents get through tickets faster and automatically populates ticket fields on Zendesk!

We have been working with Aide for some time now and they have been exceedingly responsive and helpful to our needs. Throughout the process, the Aide team has taken our feedback well and made this as smooth as possible.

Really great approach and strong answers out of the box. Ability to grow into your AI journey at your own pace starting with suggested responses, macro suggestions or precanned messages and then slowly automate once you're confident.

What it handles

An ecommerce chatbot that knows the store

Aide Chat reads your catalog, the shopper's orders and live tracking, and answers with them.

Colours, sizes and stock come from each product's real options in Shopify. If a product only comes in colours, Aide says so, and "in stock" never becomes a delivery promise.
Customer
Does the Ridge Runner come in a wide fit? I need a 10.
Aide
The Ridge Runner comes in regular and wide. The wide 10 is in stock in black and in olive; the grey is sold out in that size.
✓Answered from your Shopify catalog · Stock as your store reports it

Suggestions arrive as a carousel of up to four products with photo, price and why each fits. Shoppers pick an option and add it to their own cart from the chat.
Customer
I'm looking for a gift under $50 for someone who camps a lot.
Aide
Here are three camping picks under $50. Tap a card for details, pick a colour and add it to your cart from there.
✓Product carousel shown · Add to cart into the shopper's own cart

A verified shopper gets a tracking card with the carrier, tracking number, expected delivery and every scan, read from Shopify and directly from UPS and FedEx.
Customer
Where's my order? It's been a week.
Aide
Your order #1042 is with UPS and out for delivery today. The card below has every scan and a link to UPS tracking.
✓Shopper signed in · Live status from UPS · Tracking card shown

Once a shopper proves the order is theirs, Aide can cancel it, change the address before it ships, remove an unshipped item or start a return. Refunds wait for your team.
Customer
Please change the street on #1001 to 2 Elgin St.
Aide
Done. Order #1001 now ships to 2 Elgin St. The city, postal code and name on the order stay the same.
✓Order number and checkout email matched · Address updated in Shopify

"Talk to a person" hands the chat to your team at once, without the AI answering first. Your team picks it up in the same conversation, with the order attached.
Customer
The frame arrived cracked and this is the second time. I'd like to talk to someone.
Aide
I'm sorry, that shouldn't happen twice. I'm bringing in a teammate now, and they'll see this conversation and your order, so you won't have to repeat anything.
✓Handed to your team · Order attached

On Shopify Plus, Aide Chat sits in the corner of checkout, opens only when the buyer clicks it and never promotes products. On every plan, it answers from the thank-you page.
Customer
Before I pay: is the 32 oz bottle dishwasher safe?
Aide
Yes, the 32 oz bottle is dishwasher safe on the top rack. The lid is hand-wash only.
✓Checkout chat (Shopify Plus) · Opened by the buyer
Aide is the AI platform for customer service. The same AI agent answers in Aide Chat, by email and inside Zendesk, Gorgias and Front, with one set of knowledge and rules.

Frequently asked questions

Answer product questions from the store's real catalog, look up a shopper's orders and live tracking, and make simple order changes, all without guessing. Aide Chat does each of these, and hands off to a person whenever a shopper asks.

Yes. It answers from each product's real options and stock as synced from Shopify, and shows a verified shopper a tracking card. Shoppers prove an order is theirs by being logged in, or with the order number and checkout email.

On Shopify, switch on the Aide Chat app embed in your theme editor and save. On any other website, paste one snippet. You can also share a hosted chat page link, and Shopify Plus stores can turn on chat in checkout.

Yes, for shoppers who prove the order is theirs. Aide can cancel, refund, change the shipping address, remove an unshipped item or start a return.

Start free with 150 AI replies a month. Paid plans start at $39 a month with 1,000 AI replies, and replies from your team are always free. See aide.app/pricing for every plan.

If you need voice or phone support: Aide does not handle voice or phone. WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram aren't offered to new workspaces yet, chat in Shopify checkout needs Shopify Plus, and on WooCommerce Aide reads orders but can't change them.
