See every featureMerchant Copilot puts an AI support agent on your storefront, so shoppers get answers the moment they ask instead of waiting on email. It indexes your catalogue automatically and handles questions about products, variants, sizing, stock, order status, shipping and returns. Every answer comes from your real store data, so it never invents details.

SupportLift answers them in seconds from your own products, pages and policies, then takes real actions like refunds and order tracking inside the rules you set. You only pay when it actually closes the chat. If it cannot help, it hands off to your team with full context, and that is free.
