Use cases · Shopify Ops

No order stuck, no customer left waiting. Even when you're not at the desk.

Running a store means hundreds of small exceptions: a payment that failed, an order stuck in fulfilment, a customer asking where their parcel is. AgentWorks agents catch them, fix what they can, and tell you only about the ones that need you.

How this team runs on agents

A goal on top. Agents doing the work. People approving what matters.

Goal Illustrative

“Keep every order moving”

Orders stuck over 24 h2 left

Agents own the target end to end. Every day the number is checked and what is not working gets changed.

Flow

Stuck order → resolved

Spot payment, fulfilment or shipping issues, fix what the rules allow, message the customer.

Crew

Store expert

Answers "where is my order?" on WhatsApp and email from the order history and your policies.

People

Refunds over your limit and unhappy key customers come to the store owner first.

How it works

You set the target. The agents keep working until it's hit.

  1. Set the goal

    Pick a premade agent or describe the outcome, then agree the metric and target with us.

  2. Run

    Agents work through your tools on a schedule. You choose which actions run on their own and which wait for a person; we agree those rules during setup.

  3. Measure

    Every run records what it did and what it moved, so you see progress, not activity.

  4. Review each run, improve the next

    What broke gets fixed, what didn't work gets dropped, and the next idea gets tried.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can it change orders in Shopify?

Only what you grant. Reading orders is the default; updates, refunds and customer messages can each require your approval. The Docs guide "Set your first goal" shows how to frame these limits as rules.

Does it work with my apps?

If an app has an API, an MCP server or a web page, an agent can use it.

What about refunds?

Refunds above the limit you set always wait for you, with the order and the conversation attached.
