Arbyn now writes a short briefing on customers it knows well

Where Arbyn has enough recorded about a customer to be useful, it now writes a short internal summary: the kind of thing you would want to have read before answering their next message. It updates automatically whenever what Arbyn knows about that customer changes. The summary is careful about certainty. Something a customer told Arbyn directly is stated plainly. Something Arbyn worked out on its own is written as a guess. A customer with barely any history gets no summary at all, rather than a padded one.

Customer addresses now show on their profile

A customer's real Shopify addresses now appear on their profile in the admin, with their default address flagged and the full mailing address available on expand. These are read live from Shopify each time you open the profile, never stored separately, so there is nothing new to keep in sync and nothing new for a data request to cover.

Arbyn now tells shoppers it's an AI, by default

A short, muted line under the chat composer now tells shoppers that the chat is AI powered, that it may be recorded, and that it can make mistakes, with a link to your privacy policy. This is now on by default for every store. This notice already existed and could be turned on in the widget customizer, but it required a merchant to go and find the toggle, which in practice meant almost nobody saw it. If you had already turned it off deliberately, it stays off. Otherwise you can still turn it off, or replace the wording with your own, from the widget customizer's Content section. The notice is translated into all 21 languages Arbyn supports, and where you have a phone number and business hours on file, it also tells shoppers how to reach a person.

You decide which offer wins when two could apply

Only one discount applies per order, so when a shopper qualifies for a bundle and a discount offer in the same conversation, one of them has to win. Until now that was decided by the order the code happened to run in, and between two discount offers it was whichever you created first. Bundles and discount offers now both have a Priority field, on one shared scale. Higher wins. Everything starts at zero, so nothing changes until you set one. Once a code is saved to a conversation, only a strictly higher priority can replace it. That is deliberate: by then the shopper has usually already been told about it, and a promise you have made needs a better reason to break than another offer being equally good. When a second offer does lose, Arbyn says so plainly and names the code that applies, rather than quietly swapping it or claiming both. If a bundle loses the discount slot, its items still go into the shopper bag.

If you uninstall, your data waits 72 hours before it is deleted, and we tell you when it goes

Uninstalling Arbyn no longer means wondering what happened to your data. You now get an email from Odera the moment you leave, asking what went wrong and explaining exactly what happens next: everything you built, your knowledge, your rules and your conversation history, is kept for 72 hours. Reinstall inside that window and it all comes back exactly as you left it. Reply to that email and it reaches the support team directly. If the 72 hours pass without a reinstall, the data is permanently deleted and you get a second email confirming it, including what was removed and the date it completed. That confirmation is sent from the deletion itself, so it only ever arrives when the deletion actually happened.

Get in-app support right from Arbyn, without leaving the page

You can now open a live support chat right from inside your Arbyn admin using the Support button in the footer. It already knows your store and plan, so you don't have to re-explain who you are.

A daily heads-up when customers ask something Arbyn could not confidently answer

Arbyn now sends you a short daily email when customers have been asking questions it did not have a confident answer for, with the most common gap quoted so you can add the missing information to your knowledge base. You will not get the same question two days running, and if you would rather not receive these you can switch the nudge off in your notification settings. The count matches the open gaps shown on your Knowledge Gaps page exactly, so the number in the email never disagrees with what you see in the app.

Arbyn now answers subscription questions and points customers to your portal

Customers can now ask Arbyn about a subscription, renewing, pausing, skipping, changing, cancelling, or a payment question, and get a real answer plus a one-tap button to your subscription management page instead of a dead end. You set this up in Settings, Guardrails, Configure Subscriptions: choose whether Arbyn sends customers to your portal or hands the question to your team, tell it which subscription app you run (Shopify Subscriptions, Recharge, Appstle, Bold, Seal, Loop, Skio and more), and paste your portal link. Arbyn answers accurately for the app you use, never invents a renewal date or a portal link it does not have, and if you have not set a portal yet it hands the conversation to your team and tells you what is missing rather than guessing. A customer sent to your portal is still a normal answered conversation, so it flows into the same follow-up, resolve, and satisfaction steps as everything else.

See the whole story behind a request, and decide in one place

The Approvals queue now opens a single view for each request when you click its row. That view shows the order, a plain-English summary of what the customer asked for, the last few messages from the conversation, and the exact reason it needs you, and you approve or decline right there. Requests that came in by email or that you started yourself no longer show a blank address (Arbyn fills it in from information it already has), and internal status codes no longer show through as raw text.

New emails: when a case reopens, and when a billing change affects your agent

Two new alerts. If a customer replies to a conversation you had already resolved or closed, you now get an email the moment Arbyn reopens it, so nothing quietly comes back to life without you knowing. And if a billing issue pauses your agent, or your plan changes in a way that affects your conversation limit, you now get an email explaining what happened and what to do next.

New confirmation emails for your customers

Two new automatic emails to your customers. When a conversation is handed to a real person on your team, the customer now gets a short note confirming a human is picking it up. And when a customer submits a return request, they now get an email confirming it was received.
