    About

    Understanding Gorgias.

    Gorgias centralizes customer conversations (email, chat, social, SMS) with Shopify integration so deep that agents can refund, edit an order, or manage a subscription directly from the helpdesk, with no tab switching.

    Its pricing is notoriously complex: each AI interaction is billed both as an AI charge ($0.90-1) AND as a helpdesk ticket — double billing that can catch teams off guard. The AI agent also remains exclusively Shopify-only, even though the classic helpdesk supports other platforms.

    Practical uses

    • Centralize multi-channel customer support for Shopify store.
    • Automate FAQ responses and order issues.
    • Analyze support's revenue impact (upsell, retention).
