Gorgias is the #1 Shopify helpdesk

Shopify is an investor in Gorgias, and our entire platform has been built around Shopify from the very beginning.

‍

While Zowie connects to Shopify, it has very shallow capabilities in your helpdesk workflows.

‍

You cannot use Shopify data to automatically sort tickets, personalize messages, or update orders – which means extra clicks and tab switches on every single ticket.

AI

Answer emails with humanlike AI on Gorgias

Gorgias’s AI Agent answers emails like a human, with empathy and personalization, to automatically resolve up to 60% of your emails.

‍

Zowie lacks generative AI with an Emailbot that redirects inquiries to an external chatbot, creating a disjointed and frustrating customer experience.

‍

Gorgias gives you more ways to review, QA, and improve AI accuracy with feedback.

Integrations

Connect your ecommerce tech stack

Gorgias is a one-tab tool. We focus on high-quality integrations with tools most ecommerce brands use.

‍

Enjoy easy-to-set-up integrations with Skio, Attentive, Okendo, and Smile.io that are unavailable on Zowie. Plus, Gorgias integrates with 100+ additional apps to sync data and stay efficient with workflows for inbox management, message personalization, and more.

Enterprise

Powerful enough for top Shopify Plus brands

Gorgias is enterprise-ready.

‍

Onboard on Gorgias's secure and reliable platform with hands-on implementation, custom integrations, SMS support, advanced analytics and ticket management, support for multi-brand and multi-language, and more — that’s why 40% of the 250 largest stores on Shopify choose Gorgias.

All-in-one

All the features you need in one place

Gorgias's helpdesk is built for any size team.

‍

Zowie's helpdesk lacks basic features like inbox Views, variables and Actions for macros, and self-serve Flows and Order Management from Shopify.

‍

With Zowie, ecommerce brands have to set up APIs and build rule-based automations (one at a time) for each question they want answered.
