Repetitive Payhere work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
Answering where-is-my-order messages
Today
The same message arrives again and again: where is my parcel? Each time you open Payhere, search for the customer, find the order and copy the tracking into the chat.
With Flann
“Leila is asking where her order is. Can you check?”
Flann finds Leila's latest order in Payhere, reads its status and tracking, and drafts a reply in her language with the details filled in. The look-up is instant.
What you stop doing: Searching orders to copy tracking numbers into chats is no longer your job.
Making it right with a discount
Today
When an order goes wrong you want to offer something back. Creating a one-off code in Payhere and writing the apology around it is another chore on a bad day.
With Flann
“Give Priya a discount on her next order, her delivery was late”
For Priya, Flann prepares a single-use discount code in Payhere and drafts an apology that includes it. You set the amount or accept its suggestion.
What you stop doing: Turning a complaint into a goodwill gesture takes a message, not a session in the admin.
