Customer service tool

1. A system comprising:

a computing system comprising:

a processor;

a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the memory storing program instructions including a customer service tool, the program instructions being executable by the processor to cause the computing system to:

receive validation information of a customer service agent;

receive identification data associated with a customer;

responsive to receiving the identification data and validation of the customer service agent, generate a user interface presentable at a remote customer service agent device, the user interface including:

a first graphical representation of an active shopping cart of the customer, the active shopping cart being associated with the identification data, and the first graphical representation having an appearance corresponding to a customer view of the active shopping cart; and

at least one administrative option selectable by the customer service agent to execute a function affecting the active shopping cart of the customer, wherein the at least one administrative option is unavailable to the customer.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the program instructions further cause the computing system to:

receive an instruction to select and perform a function affecting the active shopping cart of the customer in response to receipt of user input from the customer service agent at the user interface; and

execute the instruction, thereby affecting the active shopping cart of the customer.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first graphical representation of the active shopping cart of the customer associated with the customer is generated from shopping cart data.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein a second graphical representation of the active shopping cart of the customer associated with the customer is also generated from the shopping cart data.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the identification data associated with the customer includes: a cart number, the customer email address, the customer phone number and the customer name.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one administrative option includes:

applying discounts; and

waiving fees.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions further cause the computing system to:

receive identification data associated with the customer service agent; and

upon verifying the received identification data associated with the customer service agent, customize the generated user interface based on the identity of the customer service agent.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the customization comprises excluding from the user interface at least some administrative options associated with customer payment information.

9. The system of claim 1 , further comprising the remote customer service agent device, wherein the remote customer service agent device comprises a computing device communicatively connected to the computing system.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein the user interface includes a toggle input that allows the customer service agent to select between an agent view and a user view.

11. A system comprising:

a computing system comprising:

a processor;

a memory communicatively connected to the processor which stores program instructions executable by the processor, wherein, when executed the program instructions cause the system to:

receive identification data associated with a customer;

responsive to receiving the identification data, generate a user interface presentable at a remote customer service agent device, the user interface including:

a customer account interface including customer account information, wherein the customer account information is associated with the identification data, the customer account interface having an appearance corresponding to a customer view of the customer account information; and

at least one administrative option selectable by a customer service agent to execute a function affecting the customer account information, wherein the at least one administrative option is unavailable to the customer.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the customer account information includes active shopping cart information associated with the customer.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the customer account information includes order information associated with the customer.

14. The system of claim 11 wherein the program instructions further cause the computing system to:

receive an instruction to select and perform a function affecting the customer account information in response to receipt of user input from the customer service agent at the user interface; and

execute the instruction, thereby affecting the customer account information of the customer.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the identification data associated with the customer includes: an order number, customer email address, customer phone number and customer name.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the program instructions further cause the computing system to:

receive identification data associated with the customer service agent; and

upon verifying the received identification data associated with the customer service agent, customize the generated user interface based on the identity of the customer service agent.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the customization comprises excluding from the user interface at least some administrative options associated with customer payment information.

18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the at least one administrative option includes:

canceling items from orders;

canceling orders;

editing payment information;

editing shipping information;

accessing detailed order status information;

refunding costs; and

waiving fees.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the user interface includes a toggle input that allows the customer service agent to select between an agent view and a user view.

20. A method comprising:

prompting a customer service agent to input credentials, wherein the credentials correspond to the identity of the customer service agent;

in response to a positive verification of the credentials, prompting the customer service agent to enter identification data associated with a customer;

receiving the identification data associated with the customer from the customer service agent;

in response to receiving the identification data, providing a user interface to the customer service agent, the user interface including:

a customer account interface including customer account information, wherein the customer account information is associated with the identification data, the customer account interface having an appearance corresponding to a customer view of the customer account information; and

at least one administrative option selectable by a customer service agent to execute a function modifying the customer account information, wherein the at least one administrative option is unavailable to the customer.

21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the customer account information includes active shopping cart information associated with the customer.

22. The method of claim 20 , wherein the customer account information includes order information associated with the customer.

23. The method of claim 20 , further comprising:

hosting a database that stores customer account information associated with the customer, wherein the customer account information includes active shopping cart information of the customer and order information of the customer.

24. The method of claim 20 , wherein providing the user interface includes displaying the user interface on a customer service agent device.

25. The method of claim 20 , wherein providing the user interface includes sending the user interface to a customer service agent device.
