Ninja Transfers has introduced Shinobi, an AI-powered chat assistant designed to provide apparel decorators, print shops, and DTF customers with instant support for orders, production questions, and purchasing decisions. Unlike traditional customer service chatbots, Shinobi recognizes signed-in customers and can reference their order history, allowing users to receive personalized assistance without manually entering order information.
Available around the clock, Shinobi is designed to answer questions ranging from order status and reorders to gang sheet sizing, artwork preparation, pressing instructions, and turnaround times. Anonymous shoppers can also receive pre-purchase guidance before creating an account.
AI Support Built for Decorators
According to Ninja Transfers, Shinobi was developed specifically for the workflows of crafters, apparel decorators, and print businesses that rely on fast production and immediate answers.
“Our customers are makers, and makers do not want to file a ticket and wait a day for an answer,” said Victor Ilisco, director of business development at Ninja Transfers. “Shinobi was built to remove that friction entirely. It is available the moment you have a question, it already knows your orders when you are signed in, and it speaks the language of DTF.”
The company says the assistant extends the speed of its production model to customer support, helping users quickly resolve issues while staying focused on creating products.
Personalized Customer Service with AI
Unlike conventional chat assistants that begin each conversation without context, Shinobi automatically recognizes signed-in users and tailors responses based on previous purchases and order activity. The company says this reduces customer wait times while simplifying common support requests.
Shinobi Features at a Glance
Ninja Transfers says Shinobi offers several benefits for apparel decorators and print businesses, including:
- 24/7 AI-powered customer support with immediate responses.
- Order-aware assistance that automatically references order history for signed-in customers.
- Pre-purchase guidance for visitors who have not yet created an account.

As AI continues to reshape customer support across the decorated apparel industry, Ninja Transfers says Shinobi provides a more efficient way for decorators to access information exactly when they need it. By combining instant answers with personalized order awareness, the company aims to reduce support delays and help customers spend more time producing apparel instead of waiting for assistance.
Shinobi is now rolling out on the Ninja Transfers website.
