How does Chad's AI chatbot for customer service compare to other Shopify chatbot apps?

Chad goes beyond simply generating responses, unlike regular customer service AI chatbots like Kustomer or Tidio. Chad integrates deeply with your business stack—from your ticketing software provider to payments processing to logistics—ensuring that our AI agents can autonomously take action and serve your customers like your regular human support agents would. For example, imagine your customer wants to swap a small for a medium right after placing an order. Chad verifies that the order hasn’t been processed, checks inventory levels in real time, and updates the order automatically. That’s true end-to-end customer support automation.

Is Chad compatible with Gorgias / Zendesk / Freshdesk / my Gmail inbox?

Yes! Chad seamlessly integrates with all major customer support platforms for Shopify—including Gorgias, Zendesk, Freshdesk, and even your Gmail inbox. It automatically creates and assigns tickets that require human attention, ensuring smooth handoff to your top customer service agents while keeping your workflow flexible.

What makes Chad the best ecommerce chatbot for Shopify stores?

Standard Shopify chatbot apps focus on either customer support or upselling—but rarely both. Powered by enterprise-grade generative AI models, Chad blends problem-solving with sales by detecting the right moments to introduce new products, ensuring it not only resolves issues but also actively drives revenue.

How does Chad's conversational AI improve customer service for my Shopify store?

Unlike chatbots that lead you in circles, Chad’s conversational AI uses enterprise-grade generative AI and a sophisticated multi-agent model to deliver human-level service. It detects customer intent and emotion and, when necessary, offers an easy escalation to a live agent.

Does Chad's AI customer service chatbot integrate with my existing helpdesk software?

Yes! Chad integrates seamlessly with major ecommerce helpdesk platforms, ensuring smooth operations with your preferred ticket management tools.

How quickly can I set up Chad's AI support chatbot on my Shopify store?

It just takes 30 minutes! Hit install, create an account, and Chad auto-configures itself by scanning your store—including policies and product descriptions—to provide up-to-date and effective responses.

How does Chad compare to outsourced customer service for ecommerce businesses?

Chad is faster, cheaper, and more reliable than outsourced customer service. Its AI agents provide 24/7 consistent, high-quality support without the drawbacks of human burnout, high turnover, or variable quality.

Is Chad considered one of the must-have apps for Shopify stores?

Absolutely! With advanced AI capabilities, seamless integrations, and human-like assistance, Chad is an essential tool for any Shopify store looking to streamline customer service and boost sales.

Why is my plan limit set based on the number of orders instead of tickets?

We base the plan limit on the number of orders to provide clear, upfront cost visibility. About 30% of support queries relate to order tracking, so this method simplifies billing and eliminates hidden costs.

Do I have to pay per number of agents?

Nope! Businesses aren’t penalized for staffing adjustments. Your plan’s pricing is based solely on the number of orders.

What happens if I exceed my plan’s limit?

If you exceed your plan’s limit, Chad will revert to a contact form that forwards queries to your support inbox. To restore full functionality, simply upgrade your plan or wait for usage to reset at month’s end.

Is my customers’ data used for training AI models?

No. We use enterprise-grade APIs from Anthropic and OpenAI, which do not train their models on your data. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for more details.

Is the Chad widget not appearing on your website?

Follow these simple steps in your Shopify admin to solve the problem!

1. Log into your Shopify admin

2. Click on Online Store

3. Click on Themes > Customize

4. Click on App Embeds

5. Turn on the Chad widget

6. Ensure your Chad widget stays visible: Adjusting the z-value

If your store has a lot of plugins—like discount banners, pop-ups, or other interactive elements—the Chad app bubble might get hidden underneath these layers, making it difficult for your customers to see or click it.

The z-value controls the stacking order of elements on your webpage. By giving the Chad widget a higher z-value, you ensure it stays on top of other plugins, so the bubble is always visible and clickable, no matter how many overlays you have.
