Selling globally means supporting globally. Bookbag automatically detects the language a customer writes in and replies in kind, pulling from your product data and policies to give accurate, natural-sounding answers in Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Korean, and dozens of other languages. No translation delays, no outsourced agents — just seamless support for every market you serve.
The problem
Shopify makes it easy to sell internationally, but most support teams are monolingual. Non-English-speaking customers get slower, lower-quality help or no help at all, leading to higher refund rates, more chargebacks, and missed repeat business from your fastest-growing markets.
- Non-English queries sit unanswered for hours while staff scramble for translation tools
- Machine-translated responses often sound unnatural and erode customer trust
- Hiring fluent agents for every target market is prohibitively expensive for small and mid-sized stores
- Customers who can't communicate in their language are far more likely to request refunds or file disputes
How Bookbag handles it
Automatic language detection
Bookbag identifies the language of each incoming message — no configuration per customer or channel required.
Native-quality replies in the detected language
Using your store's product, order, and policy data as the source of truth, Bookbag composes accurate responses in the customer's own language with natural phrasing.
Consistent policy application across all languages
Your return window, shipping rules, and discount conditions are applied the same way regardless of language — no conflicting information across regions.
Handoff with language context preserved
When escalation is needed, Bookbag passes an English summary alongside the original conversation so your team understands the issue immediately.
