Total eCommerce support, without the expensive add-ons

Get the integrations you need at no additional cost

The value of a help desk for eCommerce lies in consolidating messages from Amazon, eBay, Shopify, and all your platforms into one smart inbox. eDesk offers native integrations with 250+ channels including Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, and Mirakl – without requiring extra plugins or fees.

Zendesk doesn’t provide native eCommerce integrations. To make it work for online sellers, you’ll need to invest in third-party apps and added subscriptions.
