How it sells itself

Hushdesk is a help desk and live chat app for customer support. Email, live chat and contact forms become support tickets in one shared inbox, each with the customer's orders beside it, so your team can refund, cancel, edit an address or check parcel tracking in place. AI drafts replies from the whole conversation, and an AI chatbot can answer simple questions like order status.

Running a Shopify store solo is hard enough. SDesk keeps your customer support simple, organised, and under control — without the complexity of tools built for 50-person teams. Every email and contact form submission becomes a ticket, automatically linked to the customer's order and profile. No tab switching. No chasing Gmail threads. Just a clear inbox that lives inside your Shopify admin.

Key points
  • Refund, cancel or edit orders and see parcel tracking inside every ticket
  • AI drafts replies from the whole conversation, in your store's voice
  • AI chatbot answers simple questions like order status, day and night
  • Live chat in your brand colours that recognises logged-in shoppers
  • Unified inbox with automatic Shopify customer and order linking
  • Custom email domain support with branded email addresses
  • AI Copilot generates draft replies, improves text, and suggests quick responses
  • Create task list to keep track of customer actions.
