Richpanel
Richpanel provides an ecommerce support helpdesk whose AI can handle order and subscription requests through configured actions. [2]
Source excerpts below support vendor claims. They do not prove performance, compliance or suitability for your store.
- SHOPIFY
- The vendor documents Shopify customer/order data access and dashboard order management, including address, discount and refund changes; separate AI action documentation describes Shopify order actions. [1][2]
- CHANNELS / DOCUMENTED SAMPLE
- email, chat, SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok [7]
- AUTOMATION SCOPE
- Documented actions include cancelling unshipped orders, order edits, address changes, subscription changes and returns; availability depends on the connected app and permissions. The customer starts a new Richpanel Return in the portal; the AI works it from there. Loop Returns is not integrated, changing a Skio subscription address is unsupported, and shipped orders cannot be edited or cancelled. The guide also says skip on Loop and pause on Recharge are unavailable, so the AI moves the next order date instead. [2][4][5]
- HUMAN CONTROL
- Each action can require approval; unset permissions wait for approval, and Co-Pilot mode holds every customer-visible action for a person. More specifically, the guide says Shopify lookups run on their own, but cancel, refund, address, edit and discount wait for a person; configurable-autonomy wording is not a promise that all Shopify actions run unattended. [3]
- FINNISH EVIDENCE
- Multilingual translation is advertised, but no retrieved primary excerpt specifically establishes Finnish customer-facing AI support; Finnish quality was not tested. [15]
- PERFORMANCE
- No hands-on product test has been run.
Pricing structure
Rendered Pro pricing and the Shopify listing agree on $69/agent/month equivalent paid as $828 annually. Shopify separately lists $89/month and $89 per additional user. The actual unresolved annual base/packaging conflict is the direct pricebook's $99/seat/month annual no-tier offer versus annual Pro, not the monthly-versus-annual term difference. Rendered AI pricing is $0.20 per AI-handled conversation; the pricebook instead describes an approximately $0.20 model-dependent meter with a $200/month AI minimum. Numeric calculator fields remain null. [8][9][10][11][13][14][12][6][5]
- The rendered Pro annual offer and Shopify's $828/year option match; the monthly-versus-annual billing terms, including Shopify's $89/month, are not themselves a pricing conflict. The unresolved base/packaging conflict is $99/seat/month on an annual no-tier commitment in the direct pricebook versus the $69/agent/month annual Pro offer. Do not combine these offers into a single preset.
- The pricebook describes model/credit-dependent usage and $100 billing blocks, with a $200/month AI minimum; $0.20 is not a guaranteed flat rate or a complete bill.
- The pricebook lists Richpanel Returns & Exchanges as a separate add-on from $99/month. This does not establish that it is required for every Shopify refund; ordinary Shopify refund tools and connected third-party returns apps are separate documented action routes.
- The pricebook says prepaid unused credits expire after 90 days on annual commitments versus 15 days on monthly and on-demand terms; unused spend does not carry forward indefinitely.
- The pricebook says telephony uses separate vendors; the channel list here excludes phone because native/AI phone scope is not consistently established.
- No minimum seat count or included AI quantity was confidently established across these offers; null is not zero.
This is not a quote or complete bill. Confirm current terms, required plans and minimums with the vendor. The custom cost lab does not use these records as automatic presets.

Richpanel's AI agent resolves order and subscription requests by taking the action itself. It cancels unshipped orders, edits or swaps items, and changes addresses. It skips, pauses or cancels subscriptions, works returns and tracks parcels. Refunds run only under your written policy and, if you choose, your team's approval. Every action has its own permission.

Each conversation draws credits at a rate that depends on the model you picked. The marketing reference model, Gemini 2.5 Flash, uses 0.41 credits per conversation. At the annual credit rate of $0.50, that is $0.205, which is where the $0.20 figure comes from. Pick a heavier model and the credits per conversation rise. That is your call, and the rate is visible before you make it. The meter has a $200 per month minimum and bills in $100 blocks. The formula is: conversations, times credits per conversation, times the credit rate for your term, rounded to the nearest $100 block, with a $200 floor. At 5,000 conversations that is 2,050 credits, or $1,025 of usage, billed as $1,000.
