For e-commerce brands

Run the store, not the busywork behind it.

PURIST automates the operations behind an online store: answering order status questions, handling returns and exchanges, keeping stock in sync across channels, drafting purchase orders, catching order exceptions and sending one daily summary of the numbers. Built in n8n with Claude, connected to Shopify or WooCommerce and the tools around it.

Where a growing store loses its week

Past a certain order volume, the team spends its days on the same tasks: "where is my order" emails, return requests handled one by one, stock counts that drift between Shopify, Amazon and the warehouse, and numbers copied from five dashboards into one spreadsheet.

None of it grows the brand, and all of it grows with every order. These are rule-based steps between tools that already have APIs, which makes them a good fit for automation.

What we automate for e-commerce brands

Order status replies

Claude answers "where is my order" with live data from your store and carrier, and hands anything unusual to a person in your help desk.

Returns and exchanges

Request form, eligibility rules, return label, refund or exchange, stock updated. Each step logged.

Inventory sync and alerts

Stock kept consistent across your store, marketplaces and warehouse, with low-stock alerts before you sell out.

Purchase orders

Reorder points trigger a draft purchase order for approval, then it goes to the supplier and is tracked until received.

Order exceptions

Address problems, fraud flags and late shipments turned into tasks for the right person instead of surprises.

Daily numbers digest

Sales, refunds, ad spend and stock in one short summary in Slack or email every morning.

Your realistic options

Option	Where it works	What to watch
Shopify Flow and apps	Native, quick for single-platform rules.	Stops at the edge of Shopify; marketplaces, suppliers and finance stay manual, and app fees add up.
Hiring an operations assistant	Handles exceptions with judgment.	Grows with order volume, not with automation.
DIY with Zapier or Make	Cheap to start.	Task limits and fragile chains at higher order volumes.
PURIST	The full order-to-cash chain across every tool, maintained for you, fixed price.	Needs your return and reorder rules written down; we help during the audit.

Works with your store stack

We connect the tools you already run the store on.

A good fit if…

✓You ship orders every day and the team answers the same questions.
✓You sell on more than one channel.
✓Returns or stock issues eat hours every week.

Not the right fit if…

✕You are pre-launch or ship a few orders a week.
✕Everything you need already runs inside one Shopify app.

Questions people ask

Will the AI answer customers on its own?

Only for questions you approve, such as order status. Everything else is drafted for your team or routed to a person in your help desk.

Does it work with Amazon and wholesale too?

Yes. The point is to connect the store with marketplaces, suppliers and finance, not to stay inside one platform.

What happens during sales peaks?

Workflows are tested on past order volumes and monitored; monitoring and fixes are included in the monthly plan.

What does it cost?

From $390 per month with maintenance, monitoring and updates included, or a one-time deployment from $790, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. The exact scope is fixed in a written quote before anything is built.
