Why stores switch
Why Shopify stores switch from Gorgias
Gorgias is built for support teams closing tickets. Emailwish is built for stores that want every chat to end in a sale.
Questions that become orders.
A shopper asks about sizing, then leaves without buying. Emailwish sees the chat on their profile and sends a follow-up email about the product they asked about.
No per-ticket bill.
Chat conversations are unlimited on every plan. A busy sale weekend fills your inbox, not your invoice.
Recommend products in the chat.
Recommend products without leaving the conversation. The shopper's orders sit beside the chat, so every reply is informed.
