Ranked by what I'd actually pick:\n\n**1. Aircall - the default for a Shopify/BigCommerce store with a real support team.** Native Shopify integration pops the caller's name, recent orders, order status and tracking links into the softphone as the call connects, so you skip the \"can I get your order number?\" opener.
