Voicemail and unattended chat = next-morning churn
A shopper who can't reach you Sunday night about a missing Shopify order opens a Stripe dispute Monday morning. Klaviyo / Attentive lifecycle stops mattering when the human moment is missed.
Frontdesk runs your support desk after-hours, on weekends, and over holidays — answering calls, chats, DMs, and marketplace messages with full order, return, and inventory context from Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, Square, and Clover. Wake up to a clean queue, not a backlog.

The Problem
A shopper who can't reach you Sunday night about a missing Shopify order opens a Stripe dispute Monday morning. Klaviyo / Attentive lifecycle stops mattering when the human moment is missed.
Offshore night-shift teams cost $4-8k/seat/month, miss tone, and can't actually mutate Shopify / WooCommerce / Magento orders without supervision. Quality drops on weekends and holidays.
BFCM, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, and back-to-school multiply ticket volume 5-10x. Gorgias / Zendesk / Re:amaze queues blow past SLA and Amazon / Walmart Marketplace response time drops below threshold.
Amazon Seller Central, eBay, Etsy, Walmart Marketplace, and TikTok Shop response-time SLAs run 24/7. A 12-hour overnight gap tanks your seller rating and Buy Box eligibility.
How Frontdesk Works
