It sits at the order webhook layer (the moment immediately after a Shopify order is placed and before fulfillment starts) and reads every order from every channel: web checkout, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, TikTok Shop, Instagram Shop, Facebook Shop, draft orders, POS, B2B / wholesale, subscription renewals, and AI shopping agent channels (ChatGPT Agentic Storefronts, Claude Connector, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Mode). On every order Tacey makes one of three autonomous decisions: PASS (order proceeds), AUTO-RESOLVE (Tacey silently corrects a formatting issue and the order ships normally), or FLAG (order held in Shopify, customer emailed a secure fix link, merchant escalated if customer does not respond). The Operations Toolkit layer adds 40+ additional tools for fulfillment management, customer intelligence, discount intelligence, catalog health, return operations, SKU operations, and store-wide analytics. Every tool has its own dashboard, settings, and Shopify Flow triggers. Tacey is built by ONDUTYOPS LLC. Founder: Odera Joseph Echendu. Solo founder. No VC. Live on the Shopify App Store at https://apps.shopify.com/tacey. ## Pricing - Full Detail ### Scout - $39 / month - up to 500 orders / month Best for small stores or stores just starting to take address quality seriously. - AI validates every order the moment it's placed. - Carrier-grade address validation (US, Canada). - Automatic fulfillment hold on flagged orders. - Customer fix email with secure correction link. - Fix page with smart address autocomplete. - Full dashboard with ROI statistics and order history. - Conservative, Balanced, AND Aggressive sensitivity modes (all available on every plan, including Scout). - 21 Shopify Flow triggers (basic). - 7-day free trial included. ### Agent - $59 / month - up to 1,500 orders / month Best for growing stores that want full control over their address validation. - Everything in Scout. - SMS escalation when customers don't respond to fix emails. - Correction emails sent from your own store domain (looks like it came from you, not a third party). - Email template customization (subject, greeting, body, CTA, footer). - Custom email sender name and reply-to address. - Pre-ship reminders: 3-touch system (email, SMS, voice) with customizable timing and tone. - Customer Intelligence: customer risk profiles, address quality score breakdown, trusted address vault, known bad address detection. - Trusted Address Vault: returning customers with proven addresses skip validation entirely. - Known Bad Address Detection: addresses flagged multiple times are instantly caught on future orders. - 21 built-in Shopify Flow triggers for workflow automation. - 7-day free trial included. ### Commander - $99 / month - unlimited orders Best for high-volume stores where one bad order costs more than the plan does in a month. - Everything in Agent. - Unlimited orders - no cap, no overage. - Custom merchant rules in plain language ("Never flag orders over $500 from repeat customers"). - Rule conditions that reference intelligence data (trusted address hit, known bad hit, flag count). - Voice call escalation - Tacey calls the customer directly for urgent orders. - Decision Replay - re-run any past order through Tacey's current decision engine. - Predictive Hold - surfaces orders an aggressive sensitivity would have caught. - Advanced analytics with cache metrics, address intelligence by state, product type, and trend. - Priority support with real response times. - Dedicated onboarding. - 7-day free trial included. ### Trial Mechanics - 7 days, free, no commitment, full access to the chosen plan during the trial. - Trial starts when the merchant clicks Install in the Shopify App Store and completes the 4-step setup wizard (~2 minutes). - Cancel any time during the trial: no charge. - After 7 days, billing begins through Shopify Managed Pricing. - Plan changes anytime: upgrade or downgrade through Plan & Usage. - No perpetual free tier.

It operates at the order layer, after the customer has already placed their order. Your checkout experience is completely unchanged. No scripts, no popups, no UI injections, no friction added. ### What exactly does Tacey check on each order? Every order is validated for address deliverability (does this address exist and can a carrier deliver to it), completeness (missing apartment numbers, missing unit identifiers), format accuracy (city and postcode mismatch, invalid street combinations), and delivery risk. On Agent and Commander plans, Tacey also applies your sensitivity settings and any custom rules you have configured. ### What happens when Tacey flags an order? Tacey holds the order in Shopify immediately. Your warehouse never sees it. A correction email is sent to your customer with a secure link to fix their address using smart autocomplete. On Agent plan, you receive an SMS alert at the same moment. On Commander, Tacey can call your customer directly by phone and handle the conversation. Once the customer submits a corrected address, the hold releases automatically and fulfillment continues. You do not have to do anything. ### What countries does Tacey support? Full address intelligence with carrier-level validation is available for the US and Canada. International orders across 195 countries - including Mexico, UK, EU, Australia, Japan, and beyond - are validated with country-specific postal format rules, province and state mapping in local languages, and full AI reasoning applied. Non-Latin addresses including Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Arabic are supported. If you ship to a region and want to confirm coverage before installing, contact us and we will give you a straight answer. ### What if Tacey makes a wrong call? Every decision is logged with its full reasoning. If Tacey holds an order you believe should have passed, you can review it and release it manually in one click. You can also adjust sensitivity (Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive) to match how strict you need Tacey to be. You are always in control. Tacey does not make decisions that cannot be overridden. ### Is my customer data stored? Order data is processed to run address validation and is retained in your decision log for audit purposes. We do not sell data to third parties. For full details, see our Privacy Policy. ### Do I need Shopify Flow to use Tacey? No. Tacey works out of the box on all Shopify plans with no Shopify Flow required. If you are on the Agent plan and want to connect Tacey to your existing automations, 9 built-in Shopify Flow triggers are available, but they are entirely optional. ### What is the difference between the plans? Scout ($39/mo) gives you full AI validation, automatic order holds, and customer correction emails for up to 500 orders/month. Agent ($59/mo) adds SMS alerts, your own branded correction emails, sensitivity controls, and Shopify Flow triggers for up to 1,500 orders/month. Commander ($99/mo) adds AI phone calls to your customers, plain-language custom rules, and advanced analytics with unlimited orders. Every plan includes a 7-day free trial. ## Free Tools (browser-based, no install required) Tacey publishes 10 free tools at https://tacey.app/tools. ### Calculators (no rate limit) - [Profit Margin Calculator](https://tacey.app/tools/profit-margin-calculator) - calculate margin from cost, price, and overhead. - [Conversion Rate Calculator](https://tacey.app/tools/conversion-rate-calculator) - sessions, transactions, and conversion math. - [Cart Abandonment Calculator](https://tacey.app/tools/cart-abandonment-calculator) - estimate revenue lost to cart abandonment. - [CAC / LTV Calculator](https://tacey.app/tools/cac-ltv-calculator) - customer acquisition cost vs lifetime value ratio. ### Direct funnel tools (3 uses / IP / day) - [Address Validator](https://tacey.app/tools/address-validator) - validate one address at a time.

Each entry has its own permalink. Newest first. ### Refreshed welcome screen - **Released**: May 5, 2026 | **Category**: improvement | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/refreshed-welcome-screen-may-2026 The first thing you see after installing Tacey is now a proper introduction, 2-minute video, step-by-step explanation, and a tour of the 24+ tools. Pricing moved to the final step. We heard from a few merchants that the old welcome jumped straight to plan pricing before showing any value, this fixes that. The new welcome flow walks through what Tacey reads, decides, and acts on automatically, plus the full Toolkit before you ever pick a plan. ### Choose any sensitivity mode on any plan - **Released**: May 5, 2026 | **Category**: improvement | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/sensitivity-modes-on-every-plan Conservative, Balanced, and Aggressive sensitivity are now available to every Tacey merchant, Scout included. Sensitivity is a preference, not a tier. Switch modes anytime from Settings → Agent Configuration. We removed the upgrade gate because picking how strict the agent is shouldn't depend on what plan you're on, it should depend on your store. ### Bulk actions run in the background - **Released**: May 5, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/bulk-actions-background-progress-bar Hold, release, dismiss, evaluate, approve, or contact 50+ orders at once with a live progress bar. Leave the page, Tacey keeps working. Big batches no longer time out, and you don't have to keep the tab open until the last order is done. Applies across Order Watch, Observed orders, and the Escalation Queue. ### Re-run any past order through the latest AI - **Released**: May 5, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: commander - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/decision-replay-v2-rerun Decision Replay now actually re-runs a past order through Tacey's current decision engine, fresh confidence + reasoning, side-by-side against the original. Available on Commander. Open any flagged or resolved order in Decision Replay, click 'Re-run with current AI', and you'll see what the agent would decide today. ### Search rule templates by what you want them to do - **Released**: May 5, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/rule-template-search-by-intent Type what you want, 'hold high-value first orders', 'flag PO box addresses', 'auto-pass repeat customers', and Tacey ranks the closest templates from your library. No more scrolling categories looking for the right starting point. The library has a search bar at the top now. ### See similar past escalations alongside a new one - **Released**: May 5, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/similar-past-escalations-panel When you open a flagged order, a new 'Show similar' panel surfaces the three most similar escalations from your last 90 days. Helps you spot recurring patterns and reuse the decision you made last time on a near-identical order. ### Per-tool settings on Page Content Audit and AVS Cross-Reference - **Released**: May 4, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/page-content-audit-avs-settings-tabs Two more Toolkit cards picked up Settings tabs, tune thresholds for content quality and decide how partial AVS matches should be surfaced. Page Content Audit lets you tune the thresholds for 'title too short' and 'thin body'. AVS Cross-Reference lets you decide how partial matches should resolve (PASS, REVIEW, or DECLINE). Every change to AVS settings is recorded in your shop audit log. ### Live shipping status now visible alongside Tacey decisions - **Released**: May 4, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/live-fulfillment-status-in-queues Order Watch and the Escalation Queue now show Shopify's live fulfillment status (Fulfilled, Partially fulfilled, On hold, etc.) right next to Tacey's decision badge. If your warehouse already shipped an escalated order, or Shopify itself put a fulfillment on hold, you'll see that without leaving the queue. Updates in real time as fulfillments move through their lifecycle. ### Clearer settings audit log - **Released**: May 3, 2026 | **Category**: improvement | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/settings-audit-log-readable Every Event Explorer settings row now spells out exactly what changed, with units. New 'Who' column shows which member of your team made the change. Before: cryptic rows like '0 → 24' with the generic message 'A setting was changed by the merchant.' Now: 'Hold window, hours: 0 hours → 24 hours', 'Storefront language: English → Dutch'. Per-staff name attribution coming next; for now the column shows the shop owner for in-Tacey changes, 'Shopify (system sync)' for Shopify-driven changes, and 'Tacey support team' for changes our team makes on your behalf. ### Faster, more reliable behind the scenes - **Released**: May 2, 2026 | **Category**: behind-the-scenes | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/behind-the-scenes-may-2026-perf Quietly shipped the foundation for richer in-app analytics, faster diagnosis, and real-time alerting on slow AI inference. You won't see anything new on the surface, but reports load with more accurate data, page-speed regressions get caught faster, and any background processing hiccup now alerts our on-call team in real time. The same hook drives a smarter alert when our AI takes longer than usual on a decision, so we catch slow inference before it reaches your dashboards. ### Tacey is live on the Shopify App Store - **Released**: May 2, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/live-on-shopify-app-store Tacey is now publicly listed at apps.shopify.com/tacey.

We added the same automatic match for time zones, so reminders arrive at sensible local hours. ### Customer reply addresses, fixed - **Released**: May 1, 2026 | **Category**: bugfix | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/customer-reply-routing-fix Replies to address-fix emails now reliably reach you, the merchant, never our support team by mistake. Previously a small percentage of replies on one email type were misrouted; now the entire customer-email surface routes back to your inbox of choice (the address you set in Settings → Notifications). ### Intel Hub v2, 12 cards for customer intelligence - **Released**: April 25, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/intel-hub-v2-12-cards A new Intel Hub takes Tacey beyond order validation into customer-level insights: spend tiers (RFM), cohort analysis, win-back segments, marketing consent reports, and more. 12 new dashboards: Repeat Flagged Customers, Loyalty Segment Export, Win-Back Segments, Marketing Consent Report, Customer Spend Tiers (RFM, Platinum/Gold/Silver/Bronze), Cohort Analysis, Duplicate Customer Finder (deterministic + AI-assisted), Abandoned Cart Recovery (with Shopify-coexistence detection), Checkout Abandonment Report, Customer Notes Bulk Annotator, Address Quality Score per Store, and Repeat Flagger. ### Catalog Health, 9 bulk tools for product hygiene - **Released**: April 22, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/catalog-health-9-bulk-tools A new tab inside the Toolkit covering the most common SKU-level cleanup tasks: dedup products, fix missing publication channels, dead-stock detection, lifecycle changes, inventory transfers. Find duplicate products, find products missing publication channels, find dead stock, run lifecycle changes (active/draft/archived) in bulk, adjust inventory in bulk, transfer inventory between locations, normalize variant option names, bulk-update metafields, and a unified history tab showing every bulk action with row counts and timestamps. ### Discount Intelligence, 11 cards - **Released**: April 20, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/discount-intelligence-11-cards A new Toolkit section for merchants running heavy promotions: discount overview, hygiene cleanup, gift-card balance, A/B comparison, stacking detection, fraud detection on discount abuse, and more. 11 cards: discount overview dashboard, hygiene cleanup, gift-card balance report, A/B comparison, stacking detection, expiry manager, automatic-discount toggle, fraud detection on discount abuse, settings, manual gift-card issuance, and a discount creator that walks you through making a new code. ### Onboarding wizard now suggests sensitivity - **Released**: April 18, 2026 | **Category**: improvement | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/onboarding-sensitivity-suggestion The setup wizard analyzes your store's recent order pattern and recommends a starting sensitivity level (Conservative / Balanced / Aggressive). You can still pick anything; the suggestion is just a smarter default based on what your store looks like. ### Better customer fix-page emails - **Released**: April 16, 2026 | **Category**: improvement | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/personalized-fix-email-subjects Subject lines on customer fix-page emails are now generated per-order using the customer's name, your store name, and the specific address issue. Higher open rates, fewer ignored emails. The body of each email is also re-worded around the actual problem detected. ### Multi-provider AI router - **Released**: April 12, 2026 | **Category**: behind-the-scenes | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/multi-provider-ai-router Behind the scenes, Tacey now uses a multi-provider AI ladder for every reasoning call. If the primary provider has a slow night, requests automatically fall through to alternates. Result: more reliable decisions even during AI provider outages. Your dashboard never knows the difference. ### Predictive Hold (Commander) - **Released**: April 10, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: commander - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/predictive-hold-commander A Commander-tier card surfaces orders Tacey would have held under a more aggressive sensitivity setting, without actually holding them. Use it to test whether Aggressive mode would be a fit for your store before flipping the switch on a live preference change. ### AVS Cross-Reference Report - **Released**: April 8, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/avs-cross-reference-report A new card cross-references the address validation service used (we use multiple) against each held order, see if certain countries or address types consistently get held. Useful for storefronts shipping internationally where one validation source might be weaker for a given region. ### Risk Tagger - **Released**: April 8, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/risk-tagger Tags high-risk orders with `tacey:high-risk` based on signals you configure (order value, country, customer history, address type). Works as a filter for your Shopify Admin and as a Shopify Flow trigger, build any workflow on top of it. ### WISMO Risk - **Released**: April 8, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/wismo-risk-tagger Detects 'Where Is My Order' risk, orders likely to generate support tickets, and tags them so your team can proactively follow up. Reduces support volume by giving your team a heads-up on the orders where customers are about to ask 'where is my package?' ### B2B Company Overview - **Released**: April 5, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: commander - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/b2b-company-overview A Commander-only card for B2B stores: see total order count, total spend, and address quality per company, not just per customer. Maps individual customer email addresses to the underlying company so your reporting reflects business-level reality. ### 20-language UI - **Released**: April 4, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/20-language-ui Tacey's dashboard, settings, and customer-facing pages are translated into 20 languages, auto-detected from your Shopify shop locale. English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (PT and BR), Dutch, Polish, Czech, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Turkish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Thai. All emails to customers are localized too. Switchable from Settings → Language. ### App Bridge native footer - **Released**: April 3, 2026 | **Category**: improvement | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/app-bridge-native-footer Every Tacey page has a Help Center link and a Contact Support button that opens our messenger directly inside Shopify Admin, no external links. Faster support, and the messenger context auto-includes the page you were on when you clicked. ### Toolkit foundation - **Released**: April 2, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/toolkit-foundation A new top-level 'Toolkit' section that hosts standalone bulk-action apps. Each card has its own settings tab, history tab, and enable/disable toggle. Built to be a long-running home for new operator tools. Catalog Health and Discount Intelligence both ship inside the Toolkit container. ### Order Watch tab consolidation - **Released**: April 2, 2026 | **Category**: improvement | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/order-watch-tab-consolidation Escalation Queue and Monitored Orders moved into a unified Order Watch experience with three tabs (All / Held / Observed) and a single filter bar. Faster navigation, fewer redundant pages. The old Escalation Queue and Monitored URLs now redirect to the right tab. ### BFS, Built for Shopify compliance - **Released**: March 30, 2026 | **Category**: behind-the-scenes | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/bfs-built-for-shopify-pass Tacey passes all 50 Built for Shopify Standards checks for App Store submission. Performance, accessibility, security, lifecycle, and merchant-facing copy, every BFS rubric line checked and verified before submission. ### Intelligence layer, fraud, duplicate detection, address patterns - **Released**: March 25, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/intelligence-layer-fraud-duplicate-patterns Beyond address validation, Tacey now factors in fraud signals, duplicate-order detection, customer history, trusted/known-bad address caches, and phone sanity validation. The agent reasons over a richer per-order context: velocity, IP geolocation, browser anomalies, returning vs first-time customer, addresses that previously succeeded or failed, and phone number sanity. Each signal is independently configurable. ### Customer fix page, international support - **Released**: March 22, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/fix-page-international-support The fix page now supports 250+ countries with country-specific field labels, autocomplete, dynamic state/city dropdowns, and address-format awareness. Country-aware field labels (postal code vs ZIP vs PIN, state vs province vs prefecture), Google-style autocomplete, and per-country address validation. Customers in any market get a fix experience that feels native. ### SMS and Voice escalation - **Released**: March 20, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: agent - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/sms-voice-escalation If a customer doesn't fix their address within your hold window, Tacey can escalate via SMS (Agent+) or AI-driven voice call (Commander). All A2P 10DLC compliant. Automatic carrier compliance handling, opt-out support, and smart timing (no 3am calls). ### Custom Rules (Commander) - **Released**: March 18, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: commander - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/custom-rules-commander Write rules in plain English. Tacey applies them per order. Examples: 'Always flag orders over $500 from new customers', 'Skip validation for these countries during holiday season'. Free-form rules compiled by AI into deterministic per-order checks. You write what you want; Tacey enforces it consistently. ### Settings restructure - **Released**: March 15, 2026 | **Category**: improvement | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/settings-restructure Settings is now organized into clear sections: Agent Configuration, Notifications, Email Templates, Voice Calls, Custom Rules, Reminders, Address Fix, Fraud Detection, Audit Log, Plan & Usage. 13 sections in total, each with its own URL. The old single-page settings became unmaintainable as we added features; the new structure scales cleanly. ### Smart Email Timing - **Released**: March 12, 2026 | **Category**: improvement | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/smart-email-timing Customer emails respect Quiet Hours you configure. No 3am pings. Configure your store's Quiet Hours window in Settings → Notifications. All customer-facing emails (fix-page, follow-ups, escalations) defer until the next non-Quiet hour. ### Shopify Flow integration, 16 triggers - **Released**: March 10, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/shopify-flow-16-triggers Tacey fires 16 distinct Shopify Flow triggers (order flagged, address auto-resolved, customer fixed, escalated, fraud detected, and 11 more). Build any Flow workflow on top of Tacey events without writing code. Triggers fire reliably with full per-order payload context. ### Analytics page - **Released**: March 8, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/analytics-page A merchant-facing analytics dashboard with pass rate, flag rate, ROI saved, customer fix rate, top failed addresses, top flagged customers, and exportable CSVs. Auto-updates every 5 minutes. CSVs export with full per-row context for external BI tools. ### Address validation engine - **Released**: February 15, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/address-validation-engine Tacey began as a single-purpose address validator, three decisions (PASS, AUTO-RESOLVE, FLAG) per Shopify order. The foundation for everything above. Webhook-first architecture: Tacey listens on `orders/create` and acts at the webhook layer, no checkout UI changes, no customer friction at purchase. This is by design and stays that way. ### Three plan tiers - **Released**: February 10, 2026 | **Category**: feature | **Plan tier**: All plans - **URL**: https://tacey.app/changelog/three-plan-tiers Scout ($39/mo, 500 orders), Agent ($59/mo, 1500 orders), Commander ($99/mo, unlimited). 7-day free trial on every plan.

This article covers what Sidekick actually does in 2026, which use cases are worth your time daily, and where its limits remain real. ### Shopify's Agentic Commerce Readiness Tool: What It Checks, Why Stores Are Failing, and What to Fix First - **Published**: April 29, 2026 | **Category**: News & Updates - **URL**: https://tacey.app/blog/shopify-s-agentic-commerce-readiness-tool-what-it-checks-why-stores-are-failing-and-what-to-fix-first Shopify launched a free Agentic Commerce Readiness tool that scores how visible your store is to AI shopping agents.
