How it sells itself

Mend brings storefront chat and forwarded email into one AI support workflow. It answers from your synced catalog, Shopify policies, and knowledge base, recommends products, and verifies shoppers before order lookups. It can track orders, start returns, process refunds, cancel eligible orders, edit shipping addresses, create service-recovery discounts, and issue store credit.

TideReply adds an AI support chat to your storefront, trained on your products, pages, policies, and FAQ. Customers get instant answers in their own language. Shoppers can ask about their own order and see fulfillment and tracking status after their order number and email are verified. When AI is not enough, the conversation hands off to you for live chat, and email support is included.

Key points
  • Answer questions from your catalog, policies, FAQs, and store knowledge
  • Support chat and email, verify shoppers, and handle order requests
  • Keep control with rules, approvals, team replies, and human takeover
  • AI chat answers customer questions from your products, pages, and policies
  • Customers can check their order status and tracking inside the chat
  • Take over any conversation live when a customer needs a human
  • Replies in the customer's language automatically
