Selling

Ivy sells like your best store associate

She knows every product, size and stock level, and helps shoppers pick and buy without leaving the chat.

  • Recommendations from your live catalog

    Ivy searches your products by what the shopper describes and suggests the ones that fit.

  • Product cards with add to cart

    Photo, price, rating and stock, with the size or color picked right in the card.

  • A cart and checkout in the chat

    Shoppers build a cart with Ivy and go straight to checkout.

  • Free shipping nudges

    The cart shows how far the shopper is from free shipping.

  • Discounts with guardrails

    Say there are no codes, offer your welcome code, or pass the request to your team. Ivy never makes up a code.

  • Notes only Ivy reads

    Add a private note to any product (fit, care, what it pairs with) and she uses it in her answers.

  • Recommend or don't, per product

    Switch a product out of Ivy's recommendations and she stops suggesting it.

  • Sales counted for you

    Orders placed within 3 days of a conversation with Ivy add to your sales from conversations.

Support & orders

Answers “Where is my order?” and the rest

Order status, tracking and changes, for shoppers who prove the order is theirs.

  • Order status and tracking

    Ordered, shipped, out for delivery or delivered, with the carrier's tracking link.

  • Shopper verification

    Shoppers signed in to your store are known; others confirm with a 6-digit code sent to their email.

  • Refunds, full or partial

    With a reason and an optional restock. A teammate confirms, and has 10 seconds to undo.

  • Address changes

    For orders that haven't shipped, with an address form right in the chat.

  • Replacements

    A new order at $0.00 for an item that arrived damaged or wrong.

  • Cancellations

    For orders that are not fulfilled yet.

  • Ivy can act alone, if you let her

    One switch per action, off by default, with an optional money cap, only for a verified shopper's own order.

  • Answers from your policies

    Shipping times, returns and exchanges, straight from the policies in your store.

Knowledge

She learns your store, and what you teach her

Everything Ivy says comes from your store and your answers.

  • Your Shopify store, in sync

    Products, variants, stock, collections, policies and pages. Products and policies update live, pages every day.

  • Files

    PDF, Word, text or CSV files up to 20 MB: size charts, care guides, wholesale terms.

  • Web pages

    Add any page by its address and Ivy reads it again every week.

  • Teach Ivy

    Answer a question once and she uses your words from then on. You can also send the answer to the shoppers who asked.

  • Unanswered questions

    What Ivy couldn't answer, with similar questions merged and counted, most asked first.

  • Corrections

    Correct an answer from the inbox or from the list of answers marked wrong.

  • Your answers, in one list

    Everything your team wrote or corrected, sorted by how often Ivy uses it.

  • Sync now

    Pull your latest Shopify changes on demand.

Team & inbox

One inbox for the chats that need a person

Your rules decide what Ivy hands off; she passes it with a summary and a reply already written.

  • Handoff rules

    A refund request, asked for a person, sounds upset, a wholesale order, or Ivy's answers didn't help. Each on or off.

  • Rules from your own words

    Hand off chats that mention chargebacks, custom sizes, gift wrapping, press, repairs or any words you choose.

  • A summary and a drafted reply

    Every handoff arrives with what happened and what Ivy would answer.

  • Draft and rewrite with Ivy

    Ask for a draft any time, or make yours shorter, friendlier or more formal.

  • Views for every job

    Needs you, Assigned to me, Ivy is handling, Resolved and All, with filters by topic and teammate.

  • Assign, take, resolve, with Undo

    Mark as urgent, return the chat to Ivy or reopen it. Every action can be undone.

  • Internal notes and mentions

    Leave a note for your team and @mention a teammate; shoppers never see it.

  • The shopper at a glance

    Verified or not, language, location, orders, lifetime spend and the cart they have open.

  • Replies by email

    If the shopper has left the chat, your reply reaches them by email.

  • Routing and reply target

    Leave chats for anyone to take, or assign them to whoever is available. Set a reply target from 5 to 60 minutes.

  • Search and shortcuts

    Find any conversation by name, email, order or topic, and move through the inbox from the keyboard.

iOS app

The inbox in your pocket

A push when a shopper needs you, and everything to answer from your iPhone.

  • Push notifications

    For a new handoff, a mention in a note or a chat assigned to you. You choose which.

  • Needs you, Mine, Resolved, All

    The same inbox as the dashboard, with swipe actions.

  • Send Ivy's draft

    Read the chat, edit the drafted reply or rewrite it, and send.

  • Take over, assign, resolve

    Return a chat to Ivy or reopen it, from anywhere.

  • Order actions on the go

    Refund, replace or update an address, with the same hold before it goes out.

  • Away when you're away

    Set yourself away, pause pushes while you are, or follow your business hours.

Storefront widget

A chat that looks like your store

Light on the page, in your colors, in your shopper's language.

  • Your colors and background

    An accent color, a solid, gradient, pattern or photo background, light or dark.

  • Your launcher

    Ivy's emblem or a chat bubble, your label, on the left or the right.

  • Greeting and suggested questions

    The first words shoppers see and up to three questions to tap.

  • The shopper's language

    Ivy replies in the language the shopper writes in. You write your policies once.

  • Under 42 KB

    Small enough that your pages stay as fast as they are.

  • Installs without code

    A Shopify app embed you switch on in the theme editor and save. Nothing to paste into your theme.

  • Show on phones, hide our branding

    Turn the widget off on phones, or hide “Powered by Strathly”, on every plan.

  • Honest by default

    Shoppers are told they're chatting with an AI assistant and that a person can join.

  • Helpful or not

    Shoppers can mark an answer, and the ones they didn't like come to you for review.

FAQ

About the features

Still curious?
The docs have the rest, and the team answers within a day.

Is every feature in every plan?

Yes. Plans differ only by the Ivy conversations included each month and the number of teammates: Starter 100 Ivy conversations and 2 teammates, Growth 300 Ivy conversations and 5 teammates, Scale 1,000 Ivy conversations and unlimited teammates. Your team's conversations are unlimited on every plan. For more Ivy conversations, add any number from 10 at your plan's rate ($0.20 to $0.39 each), and they never expire.

Do some features need more Shopify permissions?

Refunds, address changes, replacements and cancellations change orders, so they need Shopify's order permissions. If your store connected without them, Strathly shows a Reconnect button and the actions turn on once you approve.

Does Strathly work outside Shopify?

Not yet. Strathly works with Shopify stores today; WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Wix are coming.

Which languages does Ivy speak?

The shopper's. She replies in the language the shopper writes in, and you write your policies once. You can also limit her to the languages you choose.
