The difference

Serve the customer in front of you first.

A retail answering service mostly passes messages along. A voice agent answers the question or books the visit on the spot.

Without RingOut

  • Staff leave the counter to answer the same questions
  • Calls ring out while the shop is busy
  • Fitting and consult requests wait for a call back
  • Order enquiries get lost on sticky notes
  • No record of what customers were calling about

With RingOut

  • Counter staff stay with in-store customers
  • Calls answered, busy or not
  • Fittings and consultations booked on the call
  • Order enquiries logged with names and details
  • Every call labelled so trends are easy to spot
Quick answer

What is an AI voice agent for retail?

An AI voice agent for retail is software that answers store phone calls in a natural voice, sharing hours and product information you provide, booking fittings and consultations and capturing order enquiries. Shoppers get an answer while staff keep serving the queue.

RingOut's retail agent is Miya, an AI receptionist for retail stores and pharmacies. She does not check live stock, take payments or give medicines advice.

How calls are handled

Every store call gets a proper answer.

Miya answers, books or passes on each call according to your store rules, and sends real emergencies to 000.

Hear an example call

Hear Miya take a script message.

A customer rings Chemist on King to check on a script. Hear Miya pass the message to the pharmacist without giving any medical advice.

Clear limits

Accurate answers, no guesswork on stock or medicines.

Customers act on what they hear, so Miya answers only from your notes. That is the standard a retail answering service should meet.

A customer describing a medical emergency, such as chest pain or a suspected poisoning, is told to hang up and call triple zero (000) immediately. Your team handles every other urgent question.

No live stock checks

Miya shares stock notes you provide, but never promises an item is on the shelf right now.

No medicines advice

At pharmacies, every medicine or health question goes to the pharmacist.

Openly AI

Callers hear straight away that Miya is an AI receptionist.

Records kept in Sydney

Recordings, transcripts and call notes are kept in a Sydney data centre.

Audio processed in the US

Live speech is handled by US speech services, and none of it is stored offshore.

Store systems

RingOut does not connect to Shopify, Lightspeed or Square. Appointments go to Google Calendar or Calendly.

Store types

Answering for every kind of shop.

Every store type gets its own common calls, and Miya handles them with your shop details.

FAQ

AI voice agent for retail FAQs.

Can Miya check if an item is in stock?

Not live. Miya has no connection to your stock system, so she shares only stock notes you write, such as new arrivals, and offers to have staff confirm or hold an item. She never promises a product is on the shelf.

Can Miya take orders or payments?

No. Miya does not process orders or take card details over the phone. She records order enquiries with the product, size and contact details and labels them for your team, who confirm the order and payment with the customer directly.

Can it cope with Christmas and sale periods?

Yes. Miya answers several calls at the same time, from two on Starter up to twelve on Business, so peak trading days no longer mean engaged tones. Extra capacity can be added for $20 a month for each additional simultaneous call.

Will shoppers realise Miya is AI?

Yes. Miya lets every caller know she is an AI receptionist in her greeting, before the conversation starts. Most customers carry on with their question, and anyone wanting a staff member can leave a message that lands in your dashboard straight away for a call back.

Which questions can an AI voice agent for retail handle?

Store hours, location, parking, returns, lay-by and any product notes you provide, every time a customer rings. An AI voice agent for retail also books fittings and consultations and captures special order enquiries, so customers get an answer without staff leaving the counter.

Retail answering service or voice agent: which works better for a shop?

For most shops, the voice agent. A retail answering service generally passes on messages for staff to return, while Miya answers the question, books the visit and handles several callers at once, all on a flat monthly plan without per-call fees.

How does it handle pharmacy calls?

Miya answers hours, script-ready questions you allow and general store questions. Every medicine, dosage or health question goes to the pharmacist for a call back, and anyone describing an emergency, such as chest pain, is told to call 000 straight away.

Does RingOut connect to Shopify, Lightspeed or Square?

No. RingOut does not integrate with point-of-sale or ecommerce platforms such as Shopify, Lightspeed or Square. Appointments go to Google Calendar or Calendly, and enquiries are kept in your RingOut dashboard with every customer detail your team needs to follow up.

What does an AI receptionist for retail cost?

Starter is $49 a month in Australian dollars, or $40.83 a month paid yearly, GST excluded, with no setup fee and no per-call fee. Busy stores often run on Growth at $149 a month for call audio and recaps, and multi-store groups choose Professional or Business.

Is a free demo available for retail stores?

Yes. Tell us what you sell and your trading hours, and we will play a customer ringing to ask about a product and the store's hours. You hear how Miya answers from your details and takes a message when staff are needed, then pick a plan if it fits.

Keep serving the queue. Miya will answer the phone.
