Email and ticket response templates for e-commerce

When customers have questions about products, orders, or shipping, ticketing makes it easy to follow up by email. Turn a live chat into a ticketing email when you need more time to check on order status or product details. Respond to messages left when no one was available to answer the chat. Or surprise a customer with a discount offer or coupon after a chat.


Email templates save time and keep team responses consistent while reducing errors. 


We’ve rounded up a few of our own templates you can use for your own business. Feel free to tailor these for your business and personality. Then, just fill in your details and hit the send button!
