So I'm weighting toward what's actually widely deployed by real stores plus G2 review volume.\n\nHere's what I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them:\n\n**1. Gorgias (with Gorgias Voice)** - The default answer for most online stores, especially on Shopify. It's a support platform first, with phone built in, which matters because almost no ecommerce call is just a call - it's \"where's my order,\" \"I want to return this,\" \"change my address.\" Agents can edit orders, refund, and cancel shipments inside the conversation window via the native Shopify integration. Roughly 40% of the largest Shopify brands use it. Paid plans start around $50/mo annually for ~300 tickets, scaling to $300/mo (2,000) and $750/mo (5,000). 4.4/5 on G2 across ~1,500 reviews. Downside: ticket-based pricing gets expensive fast at volume.\n\n**2. Aircall** - What I'd pick if you want a real phone system rather than a helpdesk, and you already have support software you like.
