## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-11 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For an online store, the deciding factor is usually whether the phone system pulls up the customer's order the second the call connects. Here's how I'd rank them:
> 
> **1. Gorgias Voice** - My default pick for a Shopify/BigCommerce store. Gorgias is Shopify's only Premium CX Partner, and agents can see and edit orders, issue refunds, and handle returns without leaving the ticket. Voice is an add-on to the helpdesk (base plans from ~$10/mo up to ~$300/mo Pro, voice billed on usage), so your calls, email, chat, and SMS live in one thread per customer. Weak point: it's a helpdesk first - if you need real outbound dialing or complex IVR trees, look elsewhere.

> 
> **2. Aircall** - The best "just give me a good phone system that plugs into my stack" option. Clean setup, strong integration library (Shopify, Gorgias, Zendesk, HubSpot), and non-technical people can build routing themselves. ~$30-50/license/month annually with a 3-license minimum, so realistically ~$90/mo floor; AI features and international calling are add-ons.
