See every featureActDesk AI auto-trains on your Shopify store and resolves support tickets without human intervention. It reads your products, policies, and FAQs via the Shopify API. Before going live, a readiness scorecard evaluates the agent topic by topic so you see where it performs well and where it needs help. It handles order tracking, return eligibility, product questions, and shipping.
`SupportPrep AI helps merchants prepare customer support replies from manual tickets and inbound webhooks. It matches messages to Shopify order context, applies store policies, flags identity or safety risks, and creates a draft for a human to review. The app does not automatically send replies, refund orders, cancel orders, or edit orders.`

Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
