So I'd rank by how well it plugs into Shopify/your helpdesk.\n\n**Aircall** - my default recommendation for a real DTC store with a support team. Native Shopify integration pops the customer's name, recent orders, order status and tracking link in the softphone the moment the call connects, and it logs the call plus an AI summary back to Gorgias/Zendesk/HubSpot automatically. It's also the phone layer Gorgias itself partnered with, so the Shopify-support stack is well-trodden. Downside: it's one of the pricier options and has seat minimums.\n\n**Gorgias Voice** - if you're *already* on Gorgias as your helpdesk, just turn this on instead of buying a separate phone system.
