Frontdesk
Shopify AI Integration

The AI receptionist for Shopify, Shopify Plus, Shopify POS, and Shopify Flow

Frontdesk plugs directly into Shopify, Shopify Plus, Shopify POS, Shopify Flow, and the Shopify Admin API to handle every voice call, SMS, web chat, Instagram DM, TikTok Shop message, and marketplace inquiry. It coexists with Shopify Inbox, Shop AI, and Shopify Sidekick — adding the 24/7 voice + outbound layer Shopify natively does not provide.

The Problem

Shopify Inbox does not cover voice calls

Shopify Inbox is excellent for web chat and Instagram DM aggregation, but it has no voice answering, no outbound SMS / voice campaigns, and no marketplace messaging. Frontdesk adds the voice + outbound + marketplace layer on top of Shopify Inbox.

Missed voice calls, no after-hours coverage, lost marketplace sales

Shop AI / Shopify Magic is content-focused, not customer-facing

Shopify Magic and Shop AI generate product descriptions, email copy, and merchant assistance — but they do not handle live shopper conversations across voice, SMS, web chat, and marketplaces. Frontdesk runs the live shopper conversation; Shop AI runs merchant productivity.

Wasted potential on Shopify AI investment

Shopify POS calls interrupt floor associates

Phone calls about hours, returns, layaway, and product availability constantly pull Shopify POS associates away from in-store shoppers. Frontdesk handles the call, looks up Shopify POS inventory, and only escalates when truly needed.

Lower in-store conversion, distracted associates

Multichannel sprawl across Shopify + marketplaces

Shopify brands selling on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart Marketplace, TikTok Shop, Instagram Shopping, and Facebook Marketplace face channel sprawl. Frontdesk unifies every channel with Shopify orders, customers, and inventory.

Channel sprawl, lost context, weak repeat rate
