How it sells itself

Remora brings your Shopify data into every support conversation. Agents see order history, tracking info, and customer details alongside each ticket. AI classifies incoming tickets and drafts replies for agent review. Nothing sends without approval. Process refunds, cancellations, and discount codes from the inbox.

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
  • Unified inbox with full Shopify order, customer, and tracking context
  • AI ticket classification and draft replies with human-in-the-loop approval
  • Process refunds, cancellations, and discounts without leaving the inbox
  • 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.
