Services

Returns, exchanges & refunds

Agents handle refunds within the limits you set; above them, your approver decides.

Sample workflow: Returns

How AI Active Support solves it

Returns, exchanges & refunds

Every return, exchange and refund request is handled by an agent, with the order, your policy and your approval rules in front of them.

Money never moves on an automatic reply. The platform enforces who may decide what.

Never automatic: Refund, return, exchange and cancellation conversations are never answered by the AI alone.

Limits enforced by the platform: Each agent has a refund limit; above it, the request goes to your approver.

Made in your admin: Refunds are made by a person in your Shopify admin. NexusHelp has no write access.

Workflow

How it works.

  1. 01

    Request detected

    The AI recognizes the request and finds the order.

  2. 02

    An agent takes it

    With the order, the customer’s history and your returns policy.

  3. 03

    Approval when needed

    Above the agent’s limit, your approver decides in the portal.

  4. 04

    Made and confirmed

    The refund is made in your admin and the customer is told.
