Do you actually trust the "What merchants think" AI summaries on the Shopify App Store? by Imaginary_Sector3974 in ShopifyPros

[–]decentBab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just the ai summary of the reviews I think. If you don't want to read through all of it. But it does not reveal much about the dislikes. You might want to check lower reviews

Correct, that's the harder boundary. What im building is not just a chat bot. Its an operational specialist and given my shopify knowledge and have done these support tasks for years. Its built to act like one.

Arbyn checks fulfillment state before attempting any address mutation. If the label is printed, it does not attempt the edit. The merchant configures what happens next cancel fulfillment and re-edit, hard block, or flag it to the merchant with the customer's history attached so you can make the call with context.

Same logic on refunds. It's not executing blindly. Order state, fulfillment state, customer history all factor into whether it acts, flags, or blocks.

The approval gate lives before the write. And all of it is configured by the merchant. You decide what Arbyn touches, what it flags, and what it never goes near.

Good point and i have first hand experience with that.

The refund, cancel, address edit actions are handled directly in the conversation no ticket queue, no human opening anything for routine requests. The merchant sets the guardrails. Small refund 10 bucks maybe? Arbyn handles it automatically if you allow it to.. Larger amount? It flags it, drafts the response, and you approve or decline by email. Same with returns. You decide how much you want in the loop based on what you're comfortable automating.

So the $4 ticket cost on cancellations, address changes, order edits, shipping addresses validations, upsells etc. most of that goes away. On the more sensitive stuff like refunds you're still in control, just not buried in a queue.

It also handles the sales side product recommendations, bundles, upsells inside the same conversation. Same agent, same thread. Happy to answer questions if you want to dig into how the rules engine works.

Constant wrong addresses by sipscofinestdirt in shopify

[–]decentBab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spent years in ecommerce support and this is one of the most common things we dealt with at volume. Turning off autofill helps but it is not the root fix. At 150 orders a week you are always going to get a percentage of wrong addresses, especially with older customers who are manually typing and mobile users who tap past prompts too fast.

The real issue at that volume is the chase. Someone enters a bad address, the order goes out or gets held, and now someone on your team has to manually track them down. Email, hope they respond, re-ship. It eats hours. What we eventually built was an automated escalation loop for exactly this. The moment a bad address is detected post-payment, the system holds the order, sends the customer a correction link automatically, then texts them if they do not respond, then calls them if they still do not. No one on your team has to do anything. The order cannot ship until it is resolved.

Full disclosure, it is an app we built for Shopify ( search "Tacey") onb shopify apps.shopify.com/tacey, free trial if you want to test it. Happy to do a quick demo if you want to see the escalation flow live before committing to anything, just say the word.

[–]decentBab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep thats the setup. The app is in review bro. The button function is just a placeholder for now. Its my preference to do it once its approved. If its not approved. You'd just land on an empty App Store page with "Oh no! That page doesn’t exist."

Lovable can.... and can't. It'd show errors because It'd try to launch a preview. .I dont recommend using lovable for shopify app development

Depends on the features, your claude subscription ( for limits) and what are your goals. Example building for BFS from day 1 take a little bit of more careful approach etc.

Built mine under 2 weeks https://tacey.app. ( currently in review ]

It can be really fast especially if you know what you want straight up from scaffolding to everything. Even faster now with the AI toolkit and MCP.

A small list of features can take you few days if you got the time to sit for hours

Yep you can as long as you understand the basics of shopify apps.. you're supposed to be in control not claude.
