Depending on your business, customers could reach you for a variety of reasons from pre-sale to post-sales. You should always be easily reachable during and after sales to create a positive experience for customers. Here are some of the common customer support use cases:

Order Cancellation

Many businesses expect customers to go to their website to cancel their order. However, if you want to improve your customer experience, it’s better to let them cancel their order in a way that’s easier for them; like via WhatsApp! A customer can message you and request a cancellation on WhatsApp. Either an agent from your team or your WhatsApp chatbot could assist them with their cancellation. Here is how a chatbot cancels orders for an eCommerce store.
