Which orders appear
- Email, helpdesk and social conversations: the sender’s address finds the store customer, and their 10 most recent orders show, newest first.
- Chats from a verified shopper: the same, and Aide’s replies can use their orders.
- Chats where the visitor only typed an email: your team sees the matching orders, marked “Unverified”. Aide’s replies never use them.
- Several stores: orders from every connected Shopify store are included. Orders from a store you disconnected are not.
Reading an order
The newest order is open; older ones fold to one row with the number, total, status and date. An order with a refund waiting for approval, or whose last action failed, opens on its own.- Items: photo, variant, quantity and line total. Removed items are crossed out.
- Totals: the current total after removed items and returns, followed by how much has been refunded. A cancelled order’s original total is crossed out.
- Details: shipping address (with an Edit shortcut until it ships), the order note, tags and store details.
- History: earlier refunds, cancellations, address changes and notes, one line each with who asked and when.
Shipments and split orders
Each shipment has its own line with carrier, status and a Track link. When an order ships in several packages, each line says what was in it, and a partly shipped item shows “1 of 2 shipped”.Live tracking
Each shipment shows its latest status (“In transit”, “Out for delivery”, “Delivered”), the expected delivery date, and the latest tracking update. Expand the tracking updates to see the full timeline with places and times.- Tracking events Shopify receives appear as they arrive.
- For UPS, FedEx and USPS, Aide also checks the carrier directly: when the conversation’s orders are opened, and regularly in the background for shipments from the last 30 days. Delivered shipments aren’t checked again.
- Other carriers show what Shopify reports.
- A package returned to the sender, or undeliverable at the address, shows as failed rather than delivered.
- If a carrier doesn’t answer, the last known tracking stays and Aide tries again later.
