## FAQ

### When should I choose Clearbox over Front?

When your team lives on support@, wants Shopify order context in-thread, and needs minutes-to-value—especially for 1–5 person teams.

### When is Front still the better fit?

When you need a broader stack (multichannel, heavy automation, enterprise helpdesk) that Clearbox is not trying to replicate.

### Does Clearbox include Shopify context?

Yes—orders, refunds, and customer history beside every support@ thread.

### Can Clearbox prevent duplicate replies?

Shared ownership, live presence, and assignment keep one agent per conversation.

### Does Clearbox auto-reply to where is my order?

Yes, opt-in. After shadow review, tracking replies can auto-send only when Shopify has a tracking URL. Refunds stay human. Per-seat pricing, not per conversation.
