Siena AI Customer Service Setup for Shopify

Siena AI is an autonomous support agent built exclusively for eCommerce. It runs on Shopify and Fulfill, connects to Zendesk, Gorgias, Kustomer, Gladly, and Dixa, and handles email, chat, WhatsApp, SMS, and social without a human touching the ticket. Shero trains the agent on the brand's voice and policies, connects the helpdesk, and configures the action workflows.

Proportion of customer interactions Siena AI targets for autonomous resolution

Siena AI claims up to 80% autonomous resolution. The actual rate depends on how well the agent is trained on the brand's policies and how consistent the incoming query types are. Shero runs a calibration period before any live volume hits the agent.

$750

Monthly platform fee plus $0.90 per automated ticket

Siena AI charges $750 per month as a platform fee plus $0.90 per automated ticket, with final pricing confirmed on a sales call. The $750 floor makes it unsuitable for small teams or brands with low support volume. Mid-to-high-volume DTC brands on Gorgias with 3,000+ monthly tickets are the real sweet spot.

98%

Client Retention

98% of Shero's clients stay on retainer after their project closes. Siena AI agents need ongoing policy updates, brand voice refinement, and new action workflow additions as the brand's product catalog and support processes evolve.

Shopify

Premier Partner

Shero holds Shopify Premier Partner status, one of fewer than 150 agencies globally. Siena AI implementations requiring brand voice training, Shopify order action configuration, and helpdesk integration need both CX platform and Shopify Plus depth.

Our journey from Magento to Shopify was riddled with complexities and challenges. With a vast catalog and intricate B2B logic, we needed expertise that could navigate through these intricacies. Shero Commerce was our beacon.

What Siena AI does and what setup covers

Siena AI resolves support tickets autonomously across email, chat, WhatsApp, SMS, and social by connecting to Shopify order data, executing actions within approved policies, and escalating to a human only when the query falls outside its training. The setup incluces:

  • Siena AI installation and Shopify order data connection
  • Brand voice and policy training: return policy, shipping SLAs, and product FAQs
  • Helpdesk integration: Zendesk, Gorgias, Kustomer Gladly, or Dixa
  • Approved action configuration: address updates, return labels, refunds, subscription changes
  • Subscription platform connection: Recharge, Skio, Smartrr, Stay AI, or Loop Returns
  • Calibration period: agent performance reviewed on real tickets before full deployment

Why brands work with Shero on Siena AI setup

Siena’s resolution rate relies on training depth. While generic policies build basic capability, brand voice, detailed rules, and edge-case training drive real ticket deflection. Shero completes this training before launching live traffic.

01

Brand voice trained before any customer sees the agent

Siena AI learns the brand's communication style, tone, and personality during onboarding. Shero works with the brand's existing customer service templates, tone guidelines, and product knowledge base to train the agent so responses feel like they come from a real brand representative, not a generic chatbot.

02

Approved actions configured so the agent resolves tickets, not just answers them

Siena AI takes action: updating delivery addresses, generating return labels, issuing refunds, initiating exchanges, pausing subscriptions, and swapping products within approved policy boundaries. Shero configures each action workflow and the approval boundaries before go-live so the agent handles end-to-end resolution rather than answering questions and routing to a human.

03

Gorgias or Zendesk integration so the agent works within the existing support stack

Siena AI sits on top of the existing helpdesk rather than replacing it. Tickets arrive in Gorgias, Zendesk, Kustomer, Gladly, or Dixa as usual. Siena resolves what it can and passes the rest to human agents with full context already prepared. Shero configures the helpdesk integration so the handoff is clean and agents do not receive partially resolved conversations.

04

Subscription management actions connected to Recharge, Skio, or Stay AI

Subscription management tickets skip, pause, swap, and cancel are among the highest-volume query types for DTC brands. Siena connects to Recharge, Skio, Smartrr, Stay AI, Ordergroove, and Prive so subscription actions execute directly rather than routing to a human. Shero connects the relevant platform as part of the setup, which sits alongside the subscription and retention practice Shero runs for Shopify brands.

05

Calibration period before full deployment

Shero runs a calibration period where Siena handles a subset of real tickets under review before full deployment. Resolution accuracy, edge case handling, and escalation patterns are reviewed and policy training is refined based on what the agent gets wrong. Full deployment only happens after calibration confirms the agent is performing to standard.

06

Siena AI versus Gorgias and Richpanel: when a standalone agent is the right choice

Gorgias and Richpanel both include AI features built into the helpdesk. Siena is a standalone agent that sits on top of an existing helpdesk. It is the right choice when the brand wants a dedicated commerce AI agent with deeper action-taking capability and brand voice customization than a helpdesk's built-in AI provides. Shero implements Gorgias, Richpanel, and Siena and recommends based on ticket volume and action complexity. See how Shero sets up Gorgias for Shopify brands.

Working with Shero Commerce on our migration from WordPress to Shopify was honestly such a pleasant experience. We’d been on WordPress for five years with tons of content and very specific styling, and moving all of it into one cohesive Shopify site was no small feat — this was a genuinely complex, highly technical migration. But they pulled it off on deadline with zero errors and zero issues. Their team showed up with everything we needed: a project manager, multiple developers, marketing leads, email specialists, and CRO experts, all coordinated through dedicated meetings and a real task management system. They also designed several high impact conversion pages so our digital presence didn’t just function better — it looked beautiful too. Since migrating, we’ve seen an increase in revenue thanks to having one simplified, cohesive platform. I’m so grateful for how seamlessly they executed this, and I’d recommend Shero Commerce to anyone facing a migration like ours.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“
