What can an AI voice agent do for e-commerce?

An AI voice agent for e-commerce answers order and support calls, confirms cash-on-delivery orders before dispatch, and calls shoppers who abandoned their carts. Bolna has ready templates for each of these calls in English and Hindi. You can run them on an inbound support number or as outbound batches from a CSV of orders. Each call ends with structured data, such as whether the order was confirmed, that you can send to your own systems.

How do you set up an AI voice agent for e-commerce?

  1. Log in to Agent Studio at platform.bolna.ai and import the customer support, COD confirmation or cart abandonment template from the Agents Library.
  2. Edit the prompt with your store policies, pass order details such as order ID, amount and address as context variables, and add Hindi or another language if your customers need it.
  3. Buy a phone number from the dashboard or connect your own Twilio, Plivo, Vobiz or Exotel account, and assign the number to the agent.
  4. Add tools: a transfer call tool for escalations and a custom function that calls your order API to look up or update an order during the call.
  5. Upload a CSV of orders as a batch for outbound calls, or set up inbound on your support number, then review the transcripts and extracted fields such as confirmation status in the call logs or through a webhook.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, if your store or order system has an API. Add a custom function with the endpoint, written by hand or generated from a cURL command, and the agent calls it during the conversation with the order ID the customer gives.

Yes. The e-commerce templates work in English and Hindi, and a multilingual agent switches to the caller's language mid-call. An English word or an order number inside a Hindi sentence does not trigger a switch, so Hinglish callers stay in one language.

Batch calling is built for hundreds or thousands of contacts per CSV upload, and how many calls run at once depends on your plan's concurrency limit. You can schedule the batch, retry no-answer and busy numbers automatically, and restrict calls to set hours in the customer's timezone.

Yes. The transfer call tool routes the live call to a phone number you set, and the agent says a short handoff message in the caller's language before transferring.

Pricing is per call minute and depends on the providers you choose. See bolna.ai/pricing for current rates. If you connect your own provider accounts, you pay those providers directly.
