📖 The Hustle
Shopify stores get repetitive questions about shipping, returns, and sizing that clog up support inboxes. Build AI FAQ chatbots trained on each store's policies and products. Offer setup through the Shopify ecosystem at $199 setup plus $49 monthly. One chatbot can deflect 60-80% of support tickets, saving store owners hours daily.
🚀 First Step
Set up a Shopify partner account, build a demo FAQ bot using Chatbase for a sample clothing store, and list it as a service on your partner profile.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Scrape the store's website and policy pages automatically to train the bot with Claude or ChatGPT
- Add a handoff feature that transfers complex questions to a human via email when needed
- Track and report monthly stats like questions answered and hours saved to show ROI
