# Tidio alternative for Shopify email support

Clearbox is a Tidio alternative for Shopify teams that handle support over email rather than live chat: a shared support@ inbox with native order context, assignment, and per-seat pricing.

Tidio is chat- and bot-first. If most of your customer questions arrive by email and you want order and refund context beside each thread, Clearbox is the email-first option for 1–5 person Shopify teams.

| | Clearbox | Tidio |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Primary channel | Email-first shared support@ inbox | Live chat & chatbots first |
| Shopify context | Orders, refunds, history beside each email | Chat-focused widgets/integrations |
| Best fit | 1–5 person email support teams | Stores prioritising on-site chat |
| Pricing | Predictable per seat | Tiered, conversation/add-on based |

## FAQ

### Is Clearbox a good Tidio alternative?

Yes if your support is email-led. Clearbox centralises support@ with Shopify order context; Tidio is stronger for live chat and bots.

### Does Clearbox do live chat?

Clearbox focuses on shared email support with order context. If chat is your main channel, Tidio may fit better.

### Can my small team avoid duplicate replies?

Yes—shared ownership, live presence and assignment prevent two agents answering the same customer.

### How is pricing structured?

Per seat and predictable, so a busy week does not spike your bill the way conversation-based pricing can.

### 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.
