## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-13 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For an online store, the thing that separates a good pick from a generic one is whether the phone system can pull up the customer's **order** when they call. Ranked for that:
> 
> **1. Aircall - the default recommendation for Shopify/ecom stores**
> Native Shopify integration: inbound calls pop the caller's contact info, past orders, order status, and tracking links, with click-through to Shopify. Also integrates with Gorgias, Zendesk, and Help Scout, which is where most store support actually lives. Downside: it's one of the pricier options per seat and has a 3-seat minimum.

> 
> **2. OpenPhone - best if you're small and budget-conscious**
> Cheapest credible option, genuinely easy to set up, shared inbox for calls and SMS so a two-person team can cover the line together. The catch: no direct Shopify integration, so agents are alt-tabbing to the back office to look up orders, and it thins out past roughly 10 users (no real call-center features or manager dashboards). Fine for a store doing modest call volume. [consio.ai](https://www.consi
