Rules the agent should follow
- Do not answer change shopify shipping method after checkout from memory. Use the order, the policy URL and the last scan or refund state.
- If two systems disagree, say so and escalate. Do not pick a winner in chat.
- One remedy per reply. Do not offer a refund and a replacement and a credit unless the rule allows the stack.
- Write the next time the customer should expect an update. Empty 'we will look into it' is how they write again at 2am.
Mistakes that keep the queue full
- Treating every change shopify shipping method after checkout ticket like a unique novel instead of a typed workflow.
- Promising a time your 3PL or carrier cannot hit.
- Leaving the human to re-collect the order number the agent already had.
