The question asked, verbatim: best voip phone systems for online stores
Brands named, in the order the engine gave
- Aircall recommended
Aircall - The one I'd name first if your agents talk to customers who have orders.
- Shopify recommended
Its Shopify app pops the customer's order history and contact record on screen before you pick up, which is the whole ballgame for ecommerce support.
- OpenPhone recommended
OpenPhone - My default for small stores (1-5 people).
- HubSpot recommended
~$19-23/user/mo, no seat minimum, Shopify and HubSpot integrations.
- Dialpad recommended
Dialpad - Pick this if you take phone orders on higher-ticket items.
- RingCentral recommended
RingCentral (RingEX) - The boring safe choice.
- Ooma Office recommended
Ooma Office - Cheapest credible option, and genuinely no contract.
- Nextiva recommended
Nextiva - Worth a look if you want voice, SMS, and web chat from one vendor rather than stitching three together.
- CloudTalk recommended
CloudTalk or KrispCall - Only if you sell cross-border and need cheap local numbers in several countries, or you're doing outbound (abandoned-cart callbacks, win-backs) and want a power dialer.
- KrispCall recommended
CloudTalk or KrispCall - Only if you sell cross-border and need cheap local numbers in several countries, or you're doing outbound (abandoned-cart callbacks, win-backs) and want a power dialer.
- Google Voice recommended

The answer, as recorded
Searched and cross-checked pricing. One caveat up front: a lot of the top search results for this query are AI-generated affiliate listicles (ringly.io, consio.ai, hackceleration.com, costbench.com) that exist to funnel you to one product. I've leaned on the pricing I could verify and my own read of these tools. Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in order: **1. Aircall** - The one I'd name first if your agents talk to customers who have orders. Its Shopify app pops the customer's order history and contact record on screen before you pick up, which is the whole ballgame for ecommerce support. Downside is price and the 3-seat minimum: $30/user/mo annual, $40 monthly, and AI call summaries are another $9/user. ([pricing](https://tldv.io/blog/aircall-pricing/), [Shopify app](https://apps.shopify.com/aircall)) **2. OpenPhone** - My default for small stores (1-5 people). Shared inbox model where calls *and* SMS land in one thread per customer, which matches how store customers actually behave - they text about shipping more than they call. ~$19-23/user/mo, no seat minimum, Shopify and HubSpot integrations. Best price-to-usefulness ratio on this list. **3. Dialpad** - Pick this if you take phone orders on higher-ticket items. The real-time transcription and auto-summaries mean you can go back and check what you promised someone on a $2,000 order. Around $15-27/user/mo depending on tier and billing. **4. RingCentral (RingEX)** - The boring safe choice. Best reliability, best deskphone support, deepest feature set, and the one to pick if you need multi-site or heavy IVR routing for seasonal surges. Entry around $20-30/user/mo annual. Known for aggressive contracts and clunky cancellation - read the term length. ([comparison](https://www.wpbeginner.com/opinion/nextiva-vs-ringcentral-vs-ooma-compared/)) **5. Ooma Office** - Cheapest credible option, and genuinely no contract. Essentials $19.95, Pro $24.95, Pro Plus $29.95/user/mo. Good for a store where two people split the phone and you just need a real business line with a decent auto-attendant. Note CRM integrations only appear at Pro Plus. ([pricing](https://fitsmallbusiness.com/nextiva-vs-ooma/)) **6. Nextiva** - Worth a look if you want voice, SMS, and web chat from one vendor rather than stitching three together. Essential $18.95, Professional $22.95, Enterprise $32.95/user/mo. ([comparison](https://www.cloudtalk.io/blog/nextiva-vs-ooma/)) **7. CloudTalk or KrispCall** - Only if you sell cross-border and need cheap local numbers in several countries, or you're doing outbound (abandoned-cart callbacks, win-backs) and want a power dialer. CloudTalk from ~$19/user/mo, KrispCall from ~$15 with no seat minimum. ([overview](https://getvoip.com/blog/business-phone-services/)) **8. Google Voice** - Floor option. $10-20/user/mo, fine if you're already on Workspace and a phone number is a checkbox for you rather than a channel. No ecommerce integration, no queueing. The practical decision: under ~3 people, OpenPhone or Ooma. A real support team handling order questions, Aircall. Phone sales on expensive goods, Dialpad. Everything else, RingCentral.
