What arrives

The email E-commerce teams work through every day

Order questions, return requests and supplier mail land in one inbox, and the urgent ones sit under the rest

Supplier invoices and delivery notes arrive as PDFs that someone retypes into a sheet

A return can't be answered until someone finds the order number, the reason and the condition

In a sale the inbox doubles and replies slip past a day

Customers write in their own language and expect the answer in it

When two people work orders@, one customer gets two answers and another gets none

Triage

Your E-commerce inbox, sorted the way you sort it

Kerna starts you with five categories built for this industry and hands them to you in your own language. Rename them, rewrite them, or add one of your own. Nothing is fixed and nothing is saved until you say so.

Frequently asked questions

Does Kerna connect to Shopify or WooCommerce?

Not directly. Kerna works inside Gmail and Outlook. From Gmail, extracted fields export to Google Sheets. In Outlook, Send to passes a checked order or return to Make, Zapier or Power Automate, and your automation takes it from there.

Does Kerna send emails on its own?

No. Kerna drafts and a person sends. The order confirmations and shipping notices your store sends automatically stay with your store platform.

Can two people work the same orders@ mailbox?

In Outlook, on Business and Enterprise. Kerna shows who has each email and its status, and marks a conversation when a colleague has started a reply. It stores the status, never the email.

Will customers get answers in their own language?

Kerna detects the language of the message and drafts the reply in it, in any of 45 languages, in the tone you set.
