Burbuxa runs order-confirmation, abandoned-cart, and shipping-status automations, collects reviews, cross-sells on the storefront, and closes catalog-grounded checkout in chat — across Shopify, TiendaNube, VTEX, and WooCommerce."

  subtitle: "Gorgias is a support helpdesk: it has support and ticket automation, but no ecommerce-event automations, review collection, or on-site AI cross-sell.

  summary: "Gorgias is a strong, dedicated ecommerce helpdesk with deep Shopify support and ticket automation — but no ecommerce-event automations (order-confirmation, abandoned-cart recovery, shipping-status), no review collection, and no on-site AI cross-sell. Burbuxa runs all three, recommends real catalog products, and sends an in-chat checkout link. Pick Gorgias for a deep ticket queue; pick Burbuxa to run those revenue surfaces and close the sale."
  differentiators:
    - "Ecommerce-event automations Gorgias lacks: order-confirmation, abandoned-cart recovery, shipping-status"
    - "Review collection and on-site AI cross-sell — neither exists in Gorgias"
    - "Catalog-grounded in-chat checkout: recommends real products and sends a checkout link"

      body: "Gorgias is a strong ecommerce helpdesk with deep Shopify support, and it does automate support tickets with a rules engine. What it has no equivalent for are the store's revenue surfaces: ecommerce-event automations (order-confirmation, abandoned-cart recovery, shipping-status), post-delivery review collection, and an on-site AI cross-sell widget on the storefront. Burbuxa ships all three — 18 prebuilt automations triggered by real store events, review requests after delivery, and a cross-sell widget on Shopify, TiendaNube, and VTEX storefronts."

whenCompetitor:
  title: "When to choose Gorgias"
  body: "Choose Gorgias when your priority is an ecommerce helpdesk: a support team working a structured ticket queue with macros, SLAs, and native Shopify order actions like refunds and cancellations, across email, chat, SMS, and social. Gorgias is built around the support ticket and the agent, not around proactively selling from your catalog and closing checkout in the chat."
whenBurbuxa:
  title: "When to choose Burbuxa"
  body: "Choose Burbuxa when you want the revenue surfaces a support helpdesk doesn't run: order-confirmation, abandoned-cart recovery, and shipping-status automations, post-delivery review collection, and an on-site AI cross-sell widget — none of which Gorgias has. It also recommends real products from your live catalog and sends a checkout link inside the chat, syncing natively to Shopify, TiendaNube, VTEX, or WooCommerce, self-serve from $20/mo."
faq:
  - q: "Is Burbuxa better than Gorgias?"
    a: "Neither is better in the abstract. Gorgias is the better ecommerce helpdesk for support teams working a ticket queue with native Shopify actions. Burbuxa is the better fit for an online store that wants an AI agent to sell from its catalog and close checkout in chat, synced natively to Shopify, TiendaNube, VTEX, or WooCommerce."
  - q: "What is the difference between Burbuxa and Gorgias?"
    a: "Gorgias is an ecommerce helpdesk built around support tickets, with ticket automation and native Shopify actions. Burbuxa adds the revenue surfaces Gorgias lacks: order-confirmation, abandoned-cart, and shipping-status automations, post-delivery review collection, on-site AI cross-sell, and catalog-grounded in-chat checkout. Gorgias bills per ticket plus per resolution; Burbuxa bills per message."
  - q: "How much does Burbuxa cost compared to Gorgias?"
    a: "Gorgias costs $10 to $900 per month by ticket tier, plus about $1.00 per AI Agent resolution. Burbuxa costs $20 to $200 per month from one shared message quota that already includes AI, automations, and broadcasts. Cost tracks ticket volume for Gorgias and message volume for Burbuxa."
  - q: "Can Burbuxa replace Gorgias?"
    a: "For an online store, often yes: Burbuxa covers the customer inbox and AI replies Gorgias is used for, and adds the surfaces it lacks — ecommerce-event automations, review collection, on-site cross-sell, and in-chat checkout. For a support team that lives in a deep ticket queue with Shopify order actions, Gorgias's helpdesk remains the stronger tool."
  - q: "Which is better for ecommerce, Burbuxa or Gorgias?"
    a: "Both are built for ecommerce. Gorgias is purpose-built for Shopify-first support ticketing. Burbuxa is purpose-built for selling: it reads your live catalog, sends checkout links, and syncs natively with Shopify, TiendaNube, VTEX, and WooCommerce, with Spanish and Portuguese for LatAm and Brazil."
  - q: "Does Gorgias or Burbuxa charge per ticket?"
    a: "Gorgias charges by ticket tier, from $10 to $900 per month, plus a separate per-resolution fee for its AI Agent. Burbuxa charges per message from one shared monthly quota that already includes AI replies, automations, and broadcasts, with no per-ticket or per-resolution add-ons."
