The Ridgeline jacket I ordered is too small. Can I swap it for a large? Order CO-31907.
Pazau Agent
Of course. A large in Basalt is in stock, so I've created the exchange and emailed you a prepaid label. Drop the medium at any UPS location and we'll ship the large as soon as it's scanned.

The contacts that make up most of your volume, resolved.

In most retail queues, six topics drive more than half of contacts. Pazau resolves each one end-to-end, with the limits your CX and finance teams set.

01

Controls

Generous with customers. Strict with fraud.

Refunds are the Action finance cares most about. Pazau gives your CX team fast, consistent decisions, and gives your finance team the limits and audit trail they need.

PCI DSS

Payments without card data exposure

Card numbers typed into chat are redacted before inference. Payments on voice use DTMF with recording paused (SAQ-D for Voice). No PAN reaches a model or transcript.

Returns fraud

Signals on every refund

Return frequency, wardrobing patterns, 'item not received' history and address risk are checked before any refund. High-risk requests go to loss prevention with a summary.

Limits

Refund caps and approvals

Set per-Action limits by amount, customer tier and reason. Anything above the limit waits for one-tap approval in Pazau Inbox, and every decision is traced.

FTC Mail Order Rule

Delay notices, on time

When a shipment will miss its promised date, Pazau notifies the customer and offers cancellation with a prompt refund, as the rule requires.

GDPR · CCPA

Privacy requests handled

Access and deletion requests are verified and routed to your privacy workflow. EU shoppers can be processed and stored in the EU, and we never train on your data.

Brand safety

Your voice, your policies

Tone guides and banned phrases apply to every reply. Pazau won't invent a promotion, promise a delivery date, or disparage a carrier.

▲Copperline Outfitters
“Every October we used to hire 110 people, train them for three weeks, and hope they were ready by Black Friday. This year we hired nobody. Pazau handled the surge, and our year-round team spent peak on the conversations that actually needed them.”

FAQ

Questions we hear in every evaluation.

How quickly can we go live before peak?+
Most retail teams connect their commerce platform and first Procedures in two to four weeks, then simulate against last year's peak conversations. Copperline Outfitters signed in April and went live in October.
Can Pazau issue refunds on its own?+
Yes, within the limits you set per Action: amount, reason, customer tier and frequency. Anything above the limit waits for approval in Pazau Inbox.
What stops customers from gaming the AI?+
Refund and reship Actions check fraud signals and history before they run. Pazau applies the same rules every time, which is harder to game than a tired agent at 11pm.
Do we have to move off our helpdesk?+
No. Pazau Agent works inside Zendesk, Gorgias and Salesforce. Many retail teams move to Pazau Inbox later so AI and human agents share one queue.
How is Pazau priced for seasonal volume?+
Seats plus a per-resolution fee: $0.75 per AI resolution on Business. You pay for resolved conversations, not deflections, so peak cost tracks peak volume.
