Order Tracking Chatbot Template
Automate the #1 e-commerce support question: "Where is my order?", with an AI chatbot that knows your shipping policies.
How it works
WISMO (Where Is My Order?) makes up 30-50% of e-commerce support volume. This template trains the AI on your shipping policies, delivery timelines, and carrier information. While full order lookup requires API integration, the chatbot handles policy questions, sets expectations, and provides self-service resources.
Sample conversations

Frequently asked questions
Can the bot look up specific orders?
Full order lookup requires API integration with your e-commerce platform. The AI handles policy questions and guides customers to tracking pages. For live order status, connect via API tools or Zapier.
What if a package is lost?
The chatbot guides customers through your lost package procedure and escalates to a human agent for investigation and resolution.
Can customers get proactive shipping updates?
When integrated with your shipping provider, the chatbot can provide real-time tracking updates and proactively notify customers about delivery status changes.
