COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked
Does DirectDesk replace Gorgias or Zendesk?
DirectDesk is designed as a simpler, more affordable alternative to Gorgias for stores that do not need enterprise helpdesk features. If you handle fewer than 500 tickets per month and your support team is under 10 people, DirectDesk covers everything you need at around 10% of the Gorgias Pro cost. For larger support operations with advanced automation needs, Gorgias remains the more powerful choice.
Can customers submit support tickets directly from our Shopify store?
Yes — DirectDesk provides an embeddable contact form widget that you can add to any page on your store. Customers submit tickets through the form and they appear instantly in your Shopify admin alongside their order context. You can also continue receiving tickets by email — both channels are unified in the same inbox.
What happens to my existing support email history?
DirectDesk connects to your support inbox going forward from the install date. Historical emails in your existing inbox are not imported. We recommend archiving your existing inbox and starting fresh with DirectDesk — most support queries are resolved within 7 days so historical context is rarely needed.
