Shopify

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.

‍

With Front, you need at least two tabs open. One for Front, to respond to messages, and one for Shopify, where you can access the customer information you need, like order numbers and addresses.

AI

Resolutions, not just replies

Gorgias’s AI Agent answers emails like a human — including the ability to perform Actions like updating orders, subscriptions, returns, and more.

‍

Gorgias connects directly with Shopify to fully resolve customer inquiries, whereas Front’s AI can only draft email responses that still require human approval, answer FAQs, and recommend articles. Save your agents and customers time with the more powerful AI.

Integrations

Connect your ecommerce tech stack

Gorgias is a one-tab tool. Gorgias connects to key ecommerce apps: sync data across tools, build workflows to prioritize tickets and send automatic responses, and push updates without switching tabs.

‍

With Gorgias’s 100+ ecommerce integrations, you can view detailed customer information, have seamless conversations between marketing and support, and easily make instant changes. Front is a simple messaging tool that doesn’t integrate with any ecommerce tools other than Shopify (and even that integration is very shallow).

Test

Test responses to gauge accuracy

Gorgias’s AI Agent offers a free test environment where you can see how AI Agent would answer common questions.

‍

Once you’re satisfied with the responses, AI Agent is able to fully respond and resolve customer inquiries.

‍

By contrast, Front’s AI can only draft responses that still require an agent to approve and send them. This means agents spend valuable time vetting responses to basic tickets instead of focusing on conversations that need a human touch.

All-in-One

Go beyond with Conversational AI, Flows, and Convert

Gorgias is a comprehensive customer service platform built for ecommerce support teams. Front does not offer conversational AI that actually resolves issues, Convert for on-site revenue generation, or Flows and Order Management to improve your website’s CX.

‍

Consolidate your tools to avoid separate vendors and switching between platforms.

"Gorgias AI Agent is going to be a game-changer for us during BFCM. Immediate, personalized responses reduce the volume of repetitive inquiries and ensure our community feels supported during the busiest time of the year.
