You are the QA, the lead, and the exception desk. The agent has to take nights or you do not have a company, you have a job.

Outsourcing buys hours. AI buys consistency. Many brands need a little of both. Do not confuse them.

Resolved, reopened, escalated, refunded, by type. If the vendor cannot do that, you cannot manage it.

Tell the team which tickets they lose and which they keep. People fight mystery automation.

Week 1 URLs and caps. Week 2 WISMO live. Week 3 refunds under cap. Week 4 QA. That is a month, not a quarter.

Pre-purchase can live on-site. Post-purchase must see the order. Do not buy one tool and hope.

Read order, cancel, refund, exchange, recapture. Tick the boxes on paper before you tick them in software.

Short pages, one decision, dates in the first line. Blog posts do not belong in the retrieval set.

Tags are for routing and reporting. If the agent cannot tag WISMO vs refund, your dashboard is folklore.

Company location, price lists, and net terms. A consumer refund cap on a wholesale invoice is a bug.

Chargeback mentions end the automation. The agent collects the order facts and stops talking about goodwill credits.

Not all AI chatbots are equal—what separates a real AI support agent from a glorified FAQ bot for Shopify stores.
