Customer Support

Automating customer exchanges across support systems

AI agents handle exchange requests by retrieving customer and order history, checking policy eligibility, confirming inventory, evaluating risk signals, initiating the exchange, and providing next steps without sending the customer through multiple handoffs.

Why the human is still essential here

Support teams still define the business rules, guardrails, and exception paths. Humans step in for edge cases, policy changes, and oversight of customer outcomes.

How people use this

Self-service exchange approvals

AI verifies order details and exchange eligibility in Shopify, updates the support case in Zendesk, and launches the exchange flow in Loop Returns so the customer gets an immediate next step.

Agent-assisted size swaps

During a live support conversation, AI pulls purchase history and current inventory, recommends the best replacement item, and prepares the exchange steps for the agent to confirm.

Return-to-exchange routing

AI detects when a return request should be converted into an exchange, checks stock availability, and sends status updates back into the support workspace as the exchange progresses.
