Shopify Ops Glossary

Ticket Routing

The process of directing incoming support tickets to the right agent or queue.

Definition

Ticket routing assigns incoming tickets to the appropriate team member or queue based on rules: keyword matching, customer segment, ticket channel, or product type. Good routing reduces handle time and improves FCR.

Why It Matters for Shopify Brands

Poor routing — tickets sitting in a general queue or going to the wrong agent — increases response time and frustrates customers. Well-configured routing is a force multiplier for small ops teams.

Benchmarks

Automated routing (vs. manual assignment) reduces ticket assignment time from minutes to seconds and improves first-contact resolution by 10–15%.
