If you’re an ecommerce company using Shopify, you’re probably constantly looking up order information there to respond to customers.
If you’re an ecommerce company using Shopify, you’re probably constantly looking up order information there to respond to customers.
We’ve just added a Shopify integration to Gorgias, and we’d like to share how it compares to the Shopify integration in Zendesk.
Choose the customer data you want to display
When you respond to customers, you need to look up two things in Shopify:
- The customer profile: the total amount spent, the billing address, etc.
- The last orders: its amount, delivery status, etc.
Both Zendesk and Gorgias display this in a sidebar:
The main difference on our side is that you can completely customize this sidebar. You can drag & drop all data points available in Shopify, like the discounted amount of an order, and display it your sidebar.
You can also display information from other tools in the sidebar, like the last payments of this user on Stripe, or the delivery logs from Shipstation.
Take actions on your orders
The other big difference with Zendesk is the fact that you can take actions on your orders in Shopify without leaving the ticket. You can use all the actions available in the Shopify API, like editing an order, giving a credit, etc.
For instance, let’s imagine you want to refund an order. In this case, you can create a refund macro which will contain both a canned response to the customer and the refund action on Shopify. When you insert this macro, you can choose how much you want to refund, and customize the text. That’s it. No need to take additional actions.
If you’d like to see our Shopify integration in action, create your account on Gorgias!
