Why ecommerce brands choose REP AI over Gorgias

 REP AI focuses on conversion before support

Gorgias is strongest after a customer asks for help. REP AI is designed to engage shoppers before they need support. Many visitors leave ecommerce stores because they cannot find the right product, have unanswered questions, feel uncertain about sizing, or simply become overwhelmed by choices. REP AI identifies those moments and starts conversations proactively.

REP AI turns conversations into purchases

Gorgias excels at helping support teams resolve issues. REP AI is built to help shoppers make decisions. When customers ask questions, REP AI will recommend products, compare options, explain differences, answer objections, and guide shoppers toward checkout.

REP AI delivers a stronger product discovery experience

Traditional site search often fails when shoppers do not know exactly what they need.

Gorgias can assist customers who ask questions. REP AI asks shoppers to describe goals, preferences, concerns, or use cases in natural language to recommend relevant products and explain why they fit.

REP AI captures insights that support teams often miss

Support conversations contain valuable customer information, like why they hesitate, what information is missing, which competitors they are considering, and what objections prevent purchases. Most helpdesks store this information inside tickets. REP AI transforms it into structured business intelligence that’s easy to understand.

REP AI combines sales and support into one AI experience

Many ecommerce brands operate sales and support separately. The problem is that customers do not think that way. A shopper asking about sizing may become a customer. A customer requesting a return may be open to an exchange. REP AI was built around this reality.

AI-assisted revenue you can actually trust

A sale is attributed to REP only when the AI helped during the shopping session, such as recommending a product or answering a buying question. If the shopper only clicked the chat icon, got a greeting, asked for a human, or received an unhelpful answer, REP filters that sale out.

Don't take our word for it.

Got questions?

Is REP AI or Gorgias better for Shopify brands?

REP AI is better for Shopify brands that want one AI for sales and support: it proactively engages shoppers, recommends products from the live catalog, adds to cart from chat and automates order tracking, returns and exchanges. Gorgias suits brands that mainly need a support helpdesk with ticket management. Many brands keep Gorgias and add REP AI, which hands chats needing a person to the Gorgias queue.

Which AI chat is better, REP AI or Gorgias?

For AI chat on a Shopify store, REP AI is the better fit for brands that want the chat to sell as well as support. REP AI's AI chat starts conversations with shoppers before they ask, recommends products, guides product discovery and supports purchase decisions, analyzing 500+ behavioral signals in real time. Gorgias's AI Agent is part of its support helpdesk and also offers a shopping assistant, while REP AI is built around selling first.

Which platform is easier to set up for a Shopify store, REP AI or Gorgias?

Both Gorgias and REP AI integrate with Shopify. REP AI offers direct catalog synchronization, onboarding support, and a deployment process designed to get live in minutes. Users can expect a rollout with settings that are pre-customized to their existing store and business goals.

Its AI Agent is a usage-based add-on at $0.90 per automated interaction on annual plans or $1.00 on monthly plans, and the Gorgias trial lasts 7 days. For up to 3,000 sessions, REP AI's Support plan starts at $19 per month and Sales at $39 per month, and REP AI pricing scales with store traffic rather than tickets.
