How AI Voice Verification Stops Fake COD Orders

Discover how Shippley's AI calls your customers, verifies their orders in Urdu/English, and catches 85% of fraud attempts before you ship anything.

What is AI Voice Verification?

Instead of manually calling every customer to verify their COD order (which takes 20 minutes per order), Shippley's AI automatically calls them, has a natural conversation in Urdu or English, and determines if the order is legitimate—all in under 60 seconds.

The Problem with Manual Verification

Pakistani e-commerce stores face a brutal choice:

Option 1: Don't Verify

  • • 35-40% of orders are fraudulent
  • • Lose Rs 2-5 lakh monthly to fake orders
  • • Product cost + courier fees both ways
  • • Destroyed inventory from returns

Option 2: Manual Verification

  • • Takes 20 minutes per order
  • • Hire 2-3 full-time staff (Rs 60K/month each)
  • • Still miss fraud during busy times
  • • No coverage at night/weekends

The Shippley Solution

AI voice verification gives you the benefits of manual verification (85% fraud reduction) at the cost of automation (Rs 12 per call). No hiring, no training, 24/7 coverage.

How Shippley's AI Voice Verification Works

Order Placed on Your Shopify Store

Customer places a COD order. Shippley automatically receives the order details via our Shopify app integration.

✓ Order pattern analysis
✓ Fraud hotspot detection
✓ Historical fraud check
✓ Device fingerprinting

AI Calls Customer (30-60 seconds)

Shippley calls the customer using a Pakistani phone number. The AI speaks naturally in Urdu or English:

Example Conversation (Urdu):
AI: "Assalam-o-Alaikum, main [Your Store Name] se bol rahi hoon. Aap ne hamare store se ek order place kiya hai?"
Customer: "Jee, main ne iPhone order kiya tha."
AI: "Bohat khub! Aapka delivery address [reads address] hai? Yeh sahi hai?"
Customer: "Jee bilkul sahi hai."
AI: "Perfect! Aapki delivery 2-3 din mein pohunch jaeygi. Shukriya!"
