Ecommerce customer support phonePhone and text support that scales with your order volume.

Give shoppers a real number to call and text. AI agents answer "where is my order?", returns and product questions in seconds, day or night — and your support team gets the conversations that actually need them, with the order already pulled up.

Support line + textingAI answers orders & returns 24/7Ready for peak season

How do online stores automate "where is my order?" calls?

Online stores automate where-is-my-order (WISMO) calls by connecting an AI agent to their order data. TalkerIQ gives your store a real phone number and text line; its AI voice and SMS agents look up orders, answer shipping, returns and product questions 24/7, and pass refunds and exceptions to your support team with the order attached.

Sound familiar?

Every sale week, "where is my order?" buries the tickets that actually need us.

Online, a question nobody answers is an abandoned cart; an order problem nobody answers is a refund request. Speed is the customer experience.

  • "Where is my order?" is half your volume

    The answer is in your store admin. Your team still spends hours copying tracking links into replies.

  • Pre-purchase questions go unanswered

    A shopper wants to know about sizing or compatibility at 10 p.m. Nobody replies until morning, and the cart is gone.

  • Peak season breaks support

    Black Friday, Cyber Monday and holiday shipping cut-offs multiply volume overnight. Response times slip just when the stakes are highest.

How it works

From first question to delivered and happy.

Your support line, texting and AI agents run as one system, and every conversation sits next to the order it's about.

  1. A number shoppers can reach

    A toll-free support line and textable number on your site, packaging and emails — plus a voice widget on your store.

    Automatic
  2. AI answers in seconds

    Order status, delivery dates, returns, sizing and product questions answered by voice or text, 24/7, in 12+ languages.

    AI
  3. Problems reach a person

    Damaged items, refund exceptions and upset customers go to your support queue with the order and conversation attached.

    Your team
  4. Shoppers are nudged to checkout

    When the question is pre-purchase, the AI answers it and texts a link back to the product or cart.

    AI
  5. Everything is logged

    Calls, recordings, texts and AI summaries on one customer timeline, synced to your helpdesk or CRM.

    Automatic

Before they buy

Answer the question that's standing between a shopper and checkout.

Sizing, colours, compatibility, shipping times — when shoppers text or call with a question, the AI agent answers from your catalog and policies, then sends them straight back to the product with a link. Questions it can't answer go to your team instead of sitting overnight.

  • Product and sizing answers from your catalog
  • Checkout links sent in the same thread
  • Hand-off to sales for bulk or custom orders

After they buy

"Where is my order?" handled before it becomes a ticket.

The AI agent looks up orders by number, email or phone and gives the real status and delivery date. It explains your return and exchange policy, starts a return when your rules allow, and texts the label or tracking link. Your team only sees the orders that went wrong.

  • Order status and tracking by call or text
  • Returns and exchanges explained and started
  • Escalation with the order and transcript attached

Across channels

One shopper, every channel, one timeline.

Shoppers start on your site, continue by text and call when something goes wrong. TalkerIQ keeps every touchpoint — widget conversation, texts, calls, recordings and AI summaries — together, so whoever picks up next already knows the story.

  • Website voice widget for questions while they browse
  • Text and call on the same number
  • One history per customer, synced to your tools

A day with TalkerIQ

What does Black Friday weekend look like with AI on the support line?

A direct-to-consumer skincare brand with a three-person support team. Maya leads support.

  1. A shopper asks before she buys

    She calls to check whether a serum suits sensitive skin. The AI answers from the product catalog and texts her the product link; she checks out ten minutes later.

  2. The WISMO wave arrives

    Dozens of "where is my order?" calls hit at once. The AI agent answers them together from the order system, with the real status and delivery date.

  3. Wrong size, handled

    The AI checks eligibility, starts an exchange under the brand's policy and texts the return instructions.

  4. A refund exception goes to Maya

    A damaged parcel outside the return window arrives in Maya's queue with the order, photos and transcript attached. She approves it in one step.

  5. Overflow kicks in at the wait limit

    When the support call queue hits its wait limit, new callers go to the AI instead of hold music.

  6. "Did my order ship?" by text

    The AI SMS agent replies with tracking. Result: the team spent the weekend on exceptions, not status checks.

FAQ

Questions e-commerce teams ask

Still unsure? Talk to our team.

Reviewed by the TalkerIQ product team · Updated

Can the AI agent look up real orders?

Yes, once it's connected to your store or order system. It finds orders by order number, email or phone and answers with the actual status and delivery date. Without a connection it can still answer policy and product questions from its knowledge base.

Which e-commerce platforms do you work with?

TalkerIQ connects with 20+ tools and supports webhooks and an API, so order data can be looked up and conversations logged. Ask us about your platform and helpdesk in the walkthrough.

Can it process returns and refunds?

It explains your policy, checks eligibility and can start a return or exchange when your rules allow. Refunds and exceptions that need approval go to your team with the order and conversation attached.

Will it help with abandoned carts?

It helps prevent them by answering pre-purchase questions instantly by phone, text or the website widget, and sending a link back to the product. Follow-up texts go only to shoppers who have opted in to hear from you.

How do we handle Black Friday and holiday peaks?

AI agents answer many conversations at once, so a spike in order and shipping questions doesn't create a queue. You can set the AI as overflow when your support queue reaches a wait limit, and add AI capacity for the season.

What does it cost?

Starter is $39 per user per month, or $29 billed annually. Most growing brands choose Growth ($79/user/mo) for dialers and campaigns, or Pro ($149/user/mo) with 100 AI minutes per user; high-volume brands talk to us about Enterprise. Annual billing saves up to 25%, or pay as you go. See pricing.

What is WISMO in ecommerce?

WISMO stands for "where is my order?" — the most common question ecommerce support teams receive by phone, text and email. TalkerIQ AI agents answer WISMO calls and texts automatically by looking up the order and replying with the status and delivery date.

Do stores with physical locations need something different?

Brands that also run physical stores usually give each store its own number and ring group alongside the central support line. See the retail customer service phone system for the store-side setup, which runs on the same TalkerIQ account.

Give shoppers a number worth calling.
