"The bot did not ask for non-refundable confirmation before the cart." "The AI promises cancellation even though production_start_trigger says production has started." "Chatbot refuses merchant error even though exception_matrix says remake eligible." Three failures where a poorly calibrated non-refundable custom bot omits consent gate, over-promises cancel, or blocks legitimate exception.
An e-commerce non-refundable custom AI chatbot does not replace NREFCUS agents (#693). It reads NREFCUS-MAP, gate checkout consent, explains cancel_window prod_status, and handoffs exception merchant_error to humans.
This guide #694 covers intents bot_nrefcus_*, flow NREFCUSbot, and KPI nrefcus_bot. Bot pair of the NREFCUS playbook (#693). AI usecase: explicit consent validation before order without promising refund or executing exception alone.
Summary
Why automate non-refundable personal consent via bot?
"Is this refundable?", "can I cancel before printing?", and "I accept the custom terms" return to the PDP engraving configurator checkout. A calibrated bot cites NREFCUS-MAP consent_required_copy checkout_consent_ack_copy cancel_window_policy without promising refunds or facilitating cancellation via bot alone post-production.
What the bot resolves tier 1 custom non-ref
Policy pre-buy: non_refund_policy_copy map
Consent gate: checkout_consent_ack before cart
Cancel check: cancel_window prod_status API
Exception explain: merchant_error snad matrix map
Vs standard: Non-custom SKU standard return map
Shopify reminds that line item properties customization requires transparent terms before checkout (Shopify, order properties 2026).
