## Where AI helps an ecommerce brand.

Ecommerce teams handle a lot of small exceptions. Maito fixes shipping addresses before orders go out, answers where-is-my-order emails from your shipping data, checks return requests against your policy, and builds the evidence file for a chargeback. It also matches returned parcels to refunds and checks product listings before they go live, using your store, support desk and accounting tools.

Your team decides the money. Maito doesn't issue a refund, accept a chargeback or cancel an order on its own; a person approves each. It hands off to a person with the full context when a case is unusual, and tone calls on upset customers stay with your support team.

Start with where-is-my-order emails. Connect your store, shipping and support desk, then forward a typical email to the workspace address and ask for a reply draft with the tracking status. When the drafts hold up, ask @Maito in Slack to run it on the whole queue each morning as a Loop and post what needs a person.

## Questions.

### Does it work with Shopify?

Yes. Shopify connects through MCP, along with Shippo and ShipBob for shipping.

### Does it issue refunds?

No. It checks requests and prepares the refund. A person approves it.

### How long does it take to set up?

Minutes for the workspace: create it, connect your AI provider and connect Slack. Each workflow then takes one request to your agent, plus signing in to any tool it needs.

### Do we need a developer?

No. You set up each workflow by asking your agent in plain words. A repository is only needed for coding work.

### What does it cost?

$149 per workspace per month, with unlimited people and $20 in cloud credits each month. Your AI provider bills its usage separately.

## Put your AI teammate to work.

Set it up in minutes. Start with one workflow, and let it earn the next one.
