People type this when something is already on fire — a backlog, a BFCM hangover, a hire they do not want to make. Put materials, sizing, and ship dates on the product page. The agent should not be your PDP.
Before you start
- You can open a paid test order in Shopify admin.
- Your return / shipping window is on a URL, not only in someone’s head.
- You know who owns refunds this week (you, a lead, or nobody — be honest).
- Write the rule, put it on a URL, and let an agent execute the boring 80%. Humans keep the exceptions.
Do this in order
- Write the definition of how to deflect shopify pre-purchase questions in one sentence the agent can test against an order.
- List the Shopify fields it must read before it replies (status, tags, tracking, refunds already issued).
- Write the allowed actions and the cap. If there is no action, write the exact escalate condition.
- Add two examples: a yes case and a no case. Agents learn more from the no.
- QA ten live tickets after a week. Change the article or the cap, not the vibe.
