01

At a glance

An ecommerce-native helpdesk that unifies email, chat, social, voice, and SMS in one inbox with deep Shopify data and a conversational AI Agent. Built specifically to resolve and automate ecommerce tickets (orders, refunds, WISMO) without leaving the helpdesk; scales from 100 to 100,000+ tickets/month on the same platform.

02

Who it fits

Best forGrowing Shopify and Shopify Plus brands handling meaningful ticket volume (hundreds to tens of thousands of tickets/month) that want native commerce automation.

Skip ifVery small stores with a handful of monthly tickets; B2B/IT support use cases; brands that primarily need internal ITSM ticketing rather than commerce CX.

What operators say

  • Our transition from Salesforce to Gorgias was a breeze, since it integrates so seamlessly with Shopify.

    G2 · 2026-03-02

  • We have been using Gorgias for about 7 years and the last few years the customer service has been terrible.

    Shopify App Store · 2026

  • It is priced too high compared to the rest of the market, and its support is not helpful.

Our verdict

The data points to a clean profile: growing Shopify and Shopify Plus brands handling hundreds to tens of thousands of monthly support tickets, where ticket-based pricing is cheaper than per-seat scaling and the AI Agent's deflection earns its keep against agent-hour labour. Two pricing inflections matter more than the entry tier. Tickets scale through Basic ($60/mo, 300 tickets) and Pro ($360/mo, 2,000 tickets) cleanly, then jump to Advanced ($900/mo, 5,000 tickets) — the step is sharp and worth modelling before it lands. The AI Agent is the second inflection: each resolution is double-billed at $0.90–$1.00 plus counted as a helpdesk ticket. A 5,000-ticket month with 40% AI deflection adds ~$1,800–$2,000 on top of the plan fee, not part of it. For very small stores with sub-100 monthly tickets, B2B / IT support, or pure internal ITSM ticketing, Gorgias is structurally over-built — generic helpdesks cover the workload cheaper and the Shopify-native depth goes unused. G2 (4.6 / 547 reviews) and the Shopify App Store (4.4 / 750) corroborate the capability story; operator sentiment splits between "transition was a breeze" and recurring complaints about Gorgias's own support response time on the lower tiers.
