FAQ

When should I choose Clearbox over Zendesk?

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 Zendesk 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.
