When a customer signs into their account on your site, the Orders tab in the Customer Hub interface displays their recent Shopify order history. By clicking an order, customers can view specific order details (e.g., delivery status and cost summary), and take actions like repurchasing and tracking.

To provide further support, you can add a “Get help” button to order details pages by configuring a Help setting in Klaviyo. This button allows you to direct customers to the support resource of your choice.

Note that customers must be signed in to view their order history and access the “Get help” button. Visitors who have not signed into a customer account are prompted to do so when they open the Customer Hub drawer on your site.

When you set up a “Get help” button, you can choose where customers are directed when they click it. The right choice for your business depends on your customer support setup and your desired customer experience.

  • Inbox 
    • Guides customers through a series of questions about their specific order issue (such as a missing, incorrect, or undelivered item). 
    • Once completed, Klaviyo initiates a web chat session for the customer and automatically sends a message that includes their order information and issue details.
    • This creates a new ticket in your Klaviyo Inbox so a member of your team can respond directly in the web chat message thread.
  • External link
    • Redirects customers to a specific page on your website, such as a knowledge base or contact page.
  • Gorgias
    • Launches the Gorgias support widget, which allows them to either start a live chat or submit a support ticket, depending on your support settings in Gorgias.
    • Refer to our guide on enabling Gorgias in Customer Hub for further instructions and information about this integration.

Tip: Currently, Gorgias is the only customer support platform that can integrate directly with Customer Hub. If you use a different help desk platform, use the external link option to send customers to your help pages.

    • Gorgias (your account must be actively integrated with Gorgias)
  5. Click Save.
