SMB support

AI support for SMB teams

SMB support teams face the same repetitive questions as larger companies — but with fewer agents and tighter budgets. Zynli helps small and mid-size teams automate common support questions using knowledge base answers, API workflow automation, and human handoff when exceptions need a person — without enterprise suite pricing or complexity.

What kinds of SMB support teams Zynli is for

  • Ecommerce stores (Shopify, WooCommerce, custom) with order and returns volume
  • SaaS and subscription businesses with billing and account questions
  • Service businesses with policy-heavy support (scheduling, refunds, FAQs)
  • Teams of 2–50 agents who need KB + workflows + ticketing in one tool

Repetitive support problems SMBs face

  • Same policy questions answered differently by different agents
  • Manual order and account lookups eating agent time
  • Slow first response because the team is stretched thin
  • Chatbot tools that cannot fetch live data or escalate with context
  • Helpdesk suites priced and sized for enterprise teams

How Zynli helps automate common support questions

Knowledge base answers

Train AI on your docs via crawl, upload, or Google Drive — consistent policy answers 24/7.

Workflow automation

Visual flows call your APIs for order status, account data, and refund progress on Pro.

Human handoff

Exceptions escalate to agents with full conversation context and optional ticket creation.

Built-in ticketing

Kanban board on Starter+ — no separate helpdesk subscription required.

Where ecommerce examples still apply

Many SMB teams run ecommerce stores. Zynli's ecommerce workflows — order status, shipping, returns, billing, product questions — are the highest-volume use cases for SMB support. WooCommerce stores connect via the WordPress.org plugin; Shopify stores embed via script tag today.

  • Order tracking and WISMO automation
  • Return eligibility and refund timelines
  • Shipping delay and carrier questions
  • Product sizing and compatibility from docs

Where human handoff matters

SMB teams cannot afford to automate badly on sensitive cases. Zynli escalates billing disputes, damaged goods, policy exceptions, and explicit human requests to your agents — with the full thread so customers do not repeat themselves.

SMB-friendly pricing and setup

Zynli publishes transparent pricing: Free ($0, 100 conversations/mo), Starter ($49/mo with ticketing), Pro ($129/mo with API workflows). Most teams embed the widget and connect a knowledge base in under 5 minutes.

Support workflows you can automate

Configure AI support for orders, shipping, returns, billing, and product questions — grounded in your knowledge base and connected to your APIs.

Order Agent

Order status, delivery updates, and order lookup.

Example questions

  • · Where is my order?
  • · Has my order shipped?
  • · Can I change my delivery address?

Example actions

  • · Check order status
  • · Fetch tracking number
  • · Escalate delayed orders

Billing Agent

Charges, invoices, payment methods, and billing disputes.

Example questions

  • · Why was I charged twice?
  • · Can I update my payment method?
  • · Where is my invoice?

Example actions

  • · Look up charge details via API
  • · Explain billing policy
  • · Escalate billing disputes

Product Agent

Product specs, availability, sizing, and compatibility.

Example questions

  • · Which size should I buy?
  • · Is this compatible with X?
  • · Do you have this in stock?

Example actions

  • · Answer from product knowledge base
  • · Compare product variants
  • · Route to sales for custom orders

AI resolves most issues. Agents handle the rest.

When automation can't resolve an issue — damaged goods, billing disputes, or policy exceptions — escalate to a human agent with full thread history and optional ticket creation.

  • Low-confidence answers trigger handoff automatically
  • Agents see chat history, citations, and workflow run logs
  • Escalations become numbered tickets on your kanban board
  • Customers track progress via magic-link portal

Frequently asked questions

Is Zynli only for ecommerce SMBs?

No. While ecommerce is a core focus, the same KB + workflow + handoff model works for SaaS billing questions, service business FAQs, and general customer support.

How many agents do I need for Zynli to make sense?

Zynli helps teams from solo founders handling support part-time to 50-agent teams. Value increases with repetitive question volume.

Can a small team afford Zynli?

Yes. Start free with 100 conversations per month. Starter at $49/mo includes ticketing and human handoff — often less than chatbot + helpdesk combinations.

Do I need a developer to set up workflows?

Knowledge base and widget setup require no code. API workflows on Pro use a visual flow builder with OpenAPI import — technical setup depends on your backend APIs.

Can Zynli replace our current helpdesk?

For chat-first SMB teams, often yes. Evaluate if you need phone support, extensive email channels, or enterprise ITSM before switching.
