# Shopify support automation without a heavy help desk

You can speed Shopify support triage—intent detection, refund queues, suggested replies—without a full help-desk migration. For WISMO with tracking, Clearbox can auto-send after shadow review (opt-in). Otherwise it drafts and steps aside. Per-seat pricing.

Automation should not mean ripping out email and learning a ticketing suite. Here is lightweight Shopify support assistance that keeps humans in control.

## Automate triage, not judgment

Clearbox’s copilot classifies intent (WISMO, refund, return) and routes threads to the right queue, so the work is organised without taking decisions away from agents.

## Resolve or step aside

WISMO with a real tracking URL can auto-send after you opt in. Anything else — refunds, lost parcels, no tracking — stays a human draft. Clearbox resolves the easy tracking reply or steps aside.

## Suggested replies, agent-approved

Get a drafted reply with order context; the agent edits and sends when auto is off or blocked. You keep speed without auto-sending refunds.

## No help-desk migration

It runs on your existing support@ inbox—no portal, no ticket fields to learn, no months-long rollout.

## FAQ

### Can I automate Shopify support without a help desk?

Yes—Clearbox adds intent triage and copilot suggestions on top of your shared email inbox.

### Does automation send replies on its own?

Only WISMO with a Shopify tracking URL, after you turn live on in Settings. Refunds and anything without tracking stay human. Kill switch available.

### Do I need to migrate to ticketing?

No—Clearbox works on your existing support@ email.

### What gets automated?

Intent detection, refund/return queues, and suggested replies with order context. WISMO drafts are not sent until a human hits send unless you opt in to live tracking auto-send. Refunds never auto-send.
