Aircall - the default pick if your support lives in Shopify + a helpdesk.**\nThis is the one I'd name first for ecommerce specifically. The reason is the integration depth, not the calling quality: when a customer calls, the agent sees the order before saying hello, and the [Gorgias partnership](https://aircall.io/call-center-software-integrations/ecommerce/) creates a ticket and matches it to the Shopify customer automatically, so your team can edit the order mid-call. Also integrates with WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Zendesk, HubSpot. Downside: it's the expensive option - roughly $30-40/license/month with a **3-license minimum**, so it's wrong for a one-person shop.\n\n**2. Dialpad - best value, and the best AI.**\nAround $15-27/user/month. [business.com's head-to-head](https://www.business.com/articles/ringcentral-vs-dialpad/) gives Dialpad the win on price against RingCentral while keeping real functionality, and its live transcription / call summaries / sentiment are genuinely the strongest in the category rather than a checkbox.
