Frequently Asked Questions
Can voice AI determine if an item is eligible for return?
You configure your return policies — time windows, condition requirements, and product exceptions. AnveVoice checks eligibility in real-time and explains the result clearly to the customer.
How does the exchange-first approach work?
When a customer wants to return an item, voice AI first asks if they would prefer a different size, color, or alternative product. You configure which exchange options to offer for each product category.
Can it handle partial returns from multi-item orders?
Yes. Voice AI walks through each item in the order, identifies which items the customer wants to return, and processes them individually according to your policies.
Does it reduce return fraud?
Voice AI follows your configured verification steps — order number confirmation, purchase date validation, return reason documentation — providing a consistent process that discourages fraudulent claims.
Can it collect photos for damaged item claims?
AnveVoice is voice-first, but it can direct customers to your photo upload portal or email address for visual evidence. The return claim is created with all conversation details attached.
