AI live chat for ecommerce stores

AI live chat that resolves orders, returns and questions on the spot

Yuma's chat widget runs on the same AI as your support inbox. It knows who's chatting, checks their order, reads the photo they upload and takes the action: refund, replacement, address change, return label. Anything that needs a person goes to your team with the full conversation attached.

The problem

Your live chat is either slow or useless after hours

Live chat is where shoppers go when they want an answer right now. Where's my order, can I change the address, does this come in another size. Staff it with people and you get queues at peak, empty seats at night and a big wage bill. Put a rule-based chatbot on it and it handles the FAQ, then sends everyone else to a contact form. The customer ends up writing an email anyway, and your team answers the same question twice. Yuma's chat runs on the same AI as your support inbox. It looks up the order, reads the photo, follows your Handbook and takes the action, at 3am the same as 3pm. When a person is needed, your team picks it up with everything already in the thread.

Integrations

Plugs into the store and helpdesk you already run

Install the widget with a short snippet, connect your store and helpdesk, and Yuma's chat works with the same order data, policies and actions as the rest of your support.

Live

Built for Shopify

Yuma reads live orders, customers, products and refunds from Shopify and writes actions back. That's how a chat ends with a replacement created, an address changed or a discount code issued, without anyone opening the admin.

Verified

Signed-in customers, recognised

If your site already knows who's logged in, your backend signs a short-lived token and Yuma trusts that email. No "what's your order number and email?" before every answer, and account-specific actions just work.

See knowledge and setup →

Handoff

Escalates into your helpdesk

When a chat needs a person, it lands in Gorgias, Zendesk, Kustomer or Salesforce with every message and attachment attached, so your agent picks up mid-conversation.

Custom

Connects to your own systems

ERP, loyalty, warranty registry, an in-house tool. Custom actions and MCP connections let the chat read from and act in the systems only your business has.

Customer stories

Ecommerce brands running Yuma on live chat

"Before Yuma, we were drowning in a sea of over 10,000 tickets, and our first response time was a staggering 1 week. Other AI solutions we tried were unreliable, hallucinating, and didn't align with our guidelines."
Alejandro ReyesCustomer Service Director
- 89% automation
- 63% cost reduction
- 150k+ tickets processed
"We barely had to think about the technical side. Yuma just worked, right out of the box. That was a huge relief, so we could focus on customer experience rather than implementation."
Amy KempDirector of Omnichannel CX
- 87% faster response time
- 91% accuracy
"When I was setting up Yuma, I compared it with what I had to do to set up another AI tool at my previous company. Two completely different levels. Yuma is so much easier."

Features

Everything Yuma's chat does, end to end

Built for stores that want chat to resolve things, with full control over what the AI can say and do.

01 / Automate

Resolve chats without a human

End-to-end resolution
Yuma reads the whole conversation, checks the order and your Handbook, and takes the action: tracking, returns, exchanges, address changes, cancellations, refunds within your limits.
Resolve questions instantly →
Image and file reading
Shoppers drop in a damage photo, a screenshot or a receipt. Yuma reads it, matches it to the order and acts on it, or flags it for a person when something looks off.
Signed customer identity
Logged-in shoppers are recognised from a token your backend signs, so Yuma can act on their account without asking for their email again.
24/7, in 180+ languages
Yuma detects the shopper's language and replies in it, regional dialects and right-to-left scripts included.
Deliver real-time support →
Voice, inside the widgetBeta
Shoppers can talk to Yuma straight from the chat widget, using the same Handbook.

02 / Protect

Protect your brand and your customers

Drafts and Publish
Every Handbook change lands as a draft you can read. Nothing reaches a shopper until you publish, and every version is saved.
Gradual Rollout
Turn chat on for a share of traffic, a device type or a set of pages, then raise it as the numbers hold up.
Hard Limits
Caps on refunds, discounts and goodwill credits the AI can never exceed, enforced in real time.
Safety Guard
Every reply runs through multiple quality checks before it's sent. Anything that fails pauses for a person instead of reaching the shopper.
Improve chat quality →

Frequently asked questions

Does Yuma have a live chat widget?+

Yes. Yuma's chat widget goes on your site with a short snippet. It runs on the same AI that handles your helpdesk tickets, so it follows your brand voice, takes real actions like tracking orders and processing returns, and hands off to a person with full context when needed. It works 24/7 in 180+ languages.

How is Yuma's chat different from a chatbot?+

A chatbot answers from a fixed FAQ and sends everything else to a form. Yuma reads the whole conversation, checks your Handbook, pulls live order data and takes the action inside your store and helpdesk. When it can't resolve something, it hands the chat to a person instead of guessing.

Where does it get its answers from?+

Your Handbook, your knowledge base, your product catalog and live data from Shopify and the other tools you connect. It doesn't rely on what an AI model happens to know. Update a policy, publish it, and the next chat follows it.

Can it act on a customer's account?+

Yes. It looks up orders, issues refunds within your Hard Limits, changes addresses, creates replacements and more. If your site has customer accounts, signed customer identity lets Yuma trust the logged-in shopper's email without asking for it.

Can shoppers send photos?+

Yes. Shoppers can upload photos, screenshots, receipts and PDFs. Yuma reads them, matches them to the order and acts, or sends the case to your team when something needs a closer look.

What happens when the AI can't help?+

It hands the chat to a person on your team with every message and attachment attached, so the shopper never repeats themselves. Gaps in your Handbook get logged as questions you answer once.

Can I customise how the widget looks?+

Yes. Colours, position, greeting, avatar and fonts all match your brand. You also decide which topics the AI handles and which go straight to your team.

Can I test it before going fully live?+

Yes. Start on a share of traffic, review the conversations and raise it as the results hold up. Every Handbook change is a draft until you publish it.

What languages does it support?+

180+ languages, auto-detected per shopper, including regional dialects and right-to-left scripts. Your voice and policies stay the same across all of them.

Can I manage multiple stores from one account?+

Yes. One Handbook covers every store, with pages scoped per store, channel or language wherever your policies differ.

Is Yuma enterprise-ready for security and reliability?+

SOC 2 Type II certified (audited by Johanson Group LLP), GDPR and CCPA compliant, and certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Yuma processes customer data as a processor under a Data Processing Agreement and never sells or shares it. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is protected by role-based access control and MFA.

Multi-model failover across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google means a single provider outage cannot take your support offline. Every Handbook change is versioned and nothing goes live until someone on your team publishes it. Hard Limits cap refunds and coupon values, and every AI reply and action is logged and auditable.
