Shopify returns & refunds (teams of 1–5)
A simpler Gorgias alternative for 1–5 person Shopify teams running support@.
Clearbox is the WISMO agent for small Shopify teams on support@: it auto-sends the tracking reply after shadow review only when Shopify has a tracking URL (Gorgias Macros/Rules vs the Clearbox agent). Billed on the Shopify invoice, not per ticket.
Fast onboarding, shared inbox ownership, and Shopify order context beside every email—with per-seat pricing that does not spike with ticket volume.
Why teams switch
- Lower setup overhead for 1–5 person teams—hours, not weeks.
- Email-first workflow without heavy helpdesk complexity.
- Shared ownership that prevents duplicate replies.
What you keep
- Shopify order context next to each customer email.
- Assignment, internal notes, and real-time team collaboration.
- Support metrics dashboard with median FRT, resolution, and CSV export.
WISMO auto
- Clearbox: the WISMO agent sends after shadow review, only when a tracking URL exists. Kill switch in Settings.
- Gorgias: Macros / Rules you configure.
When Gorgias is still the right choice
If you need heavy omnichannel routing or contact-center automation from day one, Gorgias may justify the complexity. Clearbox wins when the job is reliable email execution for a small Shopify team.
