Issues e-commerce brands face with Zendesk
Multiple tiers (Team, Growth, Professional, Enterprise), each with different features. Add-ons for AI, social channels, and analytics inflate costs unpredictably.
Zendesk is a generic helpdesk. E-commerce features like order tracking, cart recovery, and deep Shopify integration require workarounds or third-party apps.
Zendesk Advanced AI (chatbots, intelligent triage) costs $50+/agent/month on top of already expensive base pricing.
WhatsApp Business API isn't included. You need to pay extra for social messaging channels that Convo AI includes free.
