What changes when you move to Convot
Revenue beside every thread
Every conversation shows the merchant's plan, MRR, LTV, and churn risk, pulled live from the Shopify Partner API. You stop treating all merchants the same and start protecting the ones who matter most.
AI that closes the churn loop
When a merchant uninstalls, Convot's AI examines the support history and tells you whether support was the cause, a signal no other tool can produce, so you fix the right thing.
Many tools become one
Chat, shared inbox, help center, changelog, roadmap voting, status page, scheduling, and a Shopify MRR dashboard, all under one login, one brand, and one bill instead of five subscriptions.
Built for Shopify app teams
Convot is purpose-built for the 1–10-person teams behind Shopify apps, Shopify-native (CORS for *.myshopify.com out of the box), revenue-aware, and live in minutes.
Turn a support chat into a booked call.
In-widget booking with Google Meet, reminders, and your branding, no separate scheduler to run. Free for your first app, no credit card.
