Frequently Asked Questions

Can the AI agent look up a customer's order status from an email?
Yes. When a customer emails asking about an order, Afterdraft matches their email address to their Shopify customer record and retrieves the latest order status, tracking number, and fulfillment details in real time.
Does Afterdraft support automated return and exchange emails?
It does. You can configure the AI agent to guide customers through your return policy, generate return labels, and update the order status in Shopify as the process progresses.
Can I send branded transactional emails through Afterdraft instead of Shopify's defaults?
Yes. Afterdraft can replace or supplement Shopify's built-in transactional emails with AI-personalized messages that match your brand voice and include dynamic order data.
How does customer matching work for Shopify?
Afterdraft matches incoming emails to Shopify customers by email address. For guest checkouts, it falls back to matching by order number if the customer includes one in the email body.

No. Afterdraft only references non-sensitive order data like item names, quantities, and tracking numbers. Payment details such as card numbers are never exposed in AI-generated replies.
