Gorgias helpdesk launch checklist for a Shopify store covering channels, macros, rules, views and a test ticket
Our track record

450+ Shopify Stores Launched Since 2015. Your Support Setup Gets the Same Care.

After a sale, support is your store's voice. A helpdesk set up well makes that voice quick and consistent. We set Gorgias up around the questions your customers actually ask, not around a template.

Who this is for

Who Needs Help With a Gorgias Customer Support App Setup

Owners usually have an inbox that has outgrown a shared mailbox. These are the six Gorgias situations we meet most.

You are a good fit if
  • You handle customer messages daily
  • You want a fixed price and written Gorgias scope
  • You will own the Gorgias account and its plan
  • You can share your most common questions
  • Stores outgrowing a shared inbox

    Emails are missed, answered twice or buried. A helpdesk gives each message an owner and a status.

  • Teams answering the same questions daily

    Where is my order, can I change my address, how do returns work. Saved replies with live order data save hours.

  • Owners hiring a first support agent

    A new agent needs views, tags and templates ready. We build them so the first day is productive.

  • Brands adding chat or social inboxes

    Messages from several places should land in one queue. We connect channels and test each.

  • Merchants moving from another helpdesk

    Your history and habits matter. We map tags, macros and views so the move does not stall the team.

  • Founders comparing helpdesks

    You want a straight view of whether Gorgias fits your ticket volume and budget before committing.

Problems solved

Why Helpdesk Setups Fail in Practice

A helpdesk installed with defaults feels like a bigger shared inbox. These six problems explain why.

  1. Tickets arrive with no structure.

    Without tags, views and rules, everything lands in one list and urgent messages sit next to newsletters.

  2. Replies are written from scratch.

    Without saved replies that pull in order details, agents copy and paste, and answers drift from your policies.

  3. Order actions need another tab.

    If the store connection is incomplete, agents leave the ticket to look up orders, and every question takes longer.

  4. Nobody owns a ticket.

    Without assignment rules, two agents answer the same message while another goes unanswered.

  5. Auto-replies feel robotic.

    Generic auto responses annoy customers. Well-built rules answer the simple questions and pass the rest to a person.

  6. Nothing is measured.

    Response times and ticket reasons stay invisible, so you cannot tell where support is slow or why.

What we can do

What Our Gorgias Customer Support App Setup Covers

Six jobs make up the service. Your package decides how many channels and automations are included.

Store connection and order data

We connect Gorgias to your Shopify store and confirm that customer and order details appear beside tickets, so agents answer without switching tabs.

Channels

Email, chat and any social inboxes you use are connected and tested, with sender names and signatures set so replies look consistent.

Macros and saved replies

We write replies for your top questions using your policies and live order variables, and group them so agents find the right one quickly.

Rules and automation

Rules tag, assign and prioritise tickets and answer simple questions automatically, with clear exits to a person for everything else.

Views and tags

Views match how your team works, such as new, waiting on customer and returns, with tags that make reporting meaningful.

Team guide and training

A recorded training and a short written guide show agents how to work tickets, use macros and escalate.

    Write macros

    Replies are written in your voice with order variables, then loaded and grouped for quick search.

    Build rules and views

    Tagging, assignment and auto-reply rules are created, then views are set up to match your team's day.

  5. 5

    Run test tickets

What Protects Your Customers and Your Team During Gorgias Setup

A helpdesk holds customer messages and order details, so these six habits come with every package.

Nothing goes live untested

Rules and auto-replies run on test tickets first, so no customer receives an untested message.

Least access needed

We ask for the access our work needs and nothing more. Card details and owner passwords are never requested during Gorgias work.

Customer data stays private

We do not export or keep customer data. Work uses test tickets wherever possible.

No lock-in

You own the Gorgias account, the macros and the rules. Notes explain every rule so another person can edit them.

Replies match your policies

Every macro is written from your shipping and returns policy and approved by you.

Fixed scope, two revision rounds

The Gorgias price is agreed before work starts, and changes inside scope run in two structured rounds.
