Gorgias Freemium Intermediate

Shopify's own Premier CX partner and the default helpdesk pick for most lean D2C teams, its built-in benchmark tool also lets you compare your own response times against industry standards, which is a useful gut-check.

  • AI Agent claims to resolve up to 60% of tickets without human involvement
  • Native Shopify actions (refund, cancel, edit) reduce agent tab-switching
  • Includes a benchmarking tool to compare your metrics against ecommerce peers
