> # Best call center software for online stores
> 
> The big split: do you want **voice bolted into an ecommerce helpdesk** (so agents see the order while they talk), or a **dedicated voice platform** you integrate into your stack? For most online stores, the first wins.
> 
> **1. Gorgias (with Gorgias Voice) - the default for Shopify stores.** Built specifically for ecommerce; agents see order history, can refund/edit/duplicate orders mid-call, and it unifies email, chat, SMS, social, and voice in one workspace. Voice is a per-ticket add-on rather than per-minute, with unlimited talk time and numbers. Entry helpdesk pricing starts around $10/mo for small volumes. Pick this if you're on Shopify and support volume is mostly order-related.
> 
> **2. Gladly - best when phone is your primary, high-touch channel.** It's person-centered rather than ticket-centered: one lifelong conversation thread per customer across channels, no ticket numbers. Strong fit for higher-AOV brands (apparel, beauty, furniture) where reps build relationships. Pricier and aimed at established teams.
> 
> **3. Aircall - best lightweight standalone phone system.** ~$40/user/mo (3-seat minimum), 5-minute setup, 100+ one-click inte
