Shopify merchants that want AI customer service for live chat and email without a per-seat helpdesk subscription
About Simple Chat
Simple Chat is an AI helpdesk for Shopify stores. The AI chatbot answers live chat and email using store products, orders, policies, FAQs, custom metafields, and merchant instructions. It tracks orders, changes and checks shipping addresses, cancels orders, and follows up on open issues until they are solved.
Staff see each conversation in one inbox inside the Shopify admin, and can take over at any time. Slack alerts tell the team about escalations. The app also sends back-in-stock alerts, manages product subscriptions, and drafts Shopify Payments chargeback responses. An optional ShipHero connection adds warehouse and fulfillment context.
Pricing is per AI resolution, with no monthly fee and no per-seat fee: $0.29 per AI-resolved conversation on the Standard plan and $0.89 on Premium, billed by Shopify. Conversations that staff handle cost nothing.

Reponse
Reponse is the customer experience suite for Shopify stores, installed inside the Shopify admin. Unlimited seats on every plan: a shared inbox with unlimited human live chat, tickets with assignment, SLAs and canned replies, order tracking and returns handled in the chat, each customer's tickets and points on the Shopify customer page, loyalty points and referrals, and a help center. The AI agents work from the first day: they read the store automatically (policies, shipping, catalogue), answer shoppers and guide them to checkout, find orders and start returns, triage tickets and draft replies for the team. Three plans with every AI agent: $39 a month for 1,000 AI actions, $99 for 3,000 and $249 for 10,000, then $0.05 per extra action, billed through Shopify within the monthly budget the merchant sets. Each plan starts with a free 14-day trial. Reponse works in English and French and installs from the Shopify App Store.

Ticketline
Ticketline is a Shopify support ticketing app for merchants who want to manage customer service requests alongside order information. Customers can open tickets from their Shopify customer account or order status page, and each ticket is linked to the relevant order with its items, date, total, and attachments. Store staff can review, assign, reply to, and update tickets from a dashboard in Shopify admin, while email notifications keep customers informed as tickets progress. Plans include monthly ticket allowances, team-member seats, email notifications, and file attachments, with higher tiers adding custom ticket statuses and fields. Ticketline is designed for asynchronous support rather than live chat, giving Shopify merchants a way to organize order-related questions and follow each conversation from submission through resolution.
