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.\n\nHere's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in order:\n\n**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.
