# The AI finishes the order change itself.

Willdesk's AI guides a cancellation or address change, then hands it to your team. Aide's AI makes the change in Shopify, and its helpdesk is free for every conversation your team answers.

Aide is a Willdesk alternative for Shopify stores that want the AI to cancel orders and change addresses itself rather than flag them for a person, with refunds waiting for a teammate by default. Aide bills per AI reply and never charges for conversations your team answers.

## Apartment 5B, fixed in the chat.

Aide checks the order belongs to the person asking, then edits only the line that changed and confirms the full address back.

## What 100 and 1,000 conversations cost

Say the AI answers every conversation and writes 2 replies in each. The prices come from Willdesk's App Store listing.

- 100 conversations: Willdesk Basic is $16.90 plus $20 of AI, so $36.90. Aide needs 200 AI replies, which is Starter at $39.
- 1,000 conversations: Willdesk Pro is $89.90 plus $200 of AI, so $289.90. Aide needs 2,000 AI replies, which is Pro at $149.

Willdesk's AI quota matches the plan's whole conversation quota, even the conversations a person handles. Conversations your team answers alone never touch Aide's count.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can Willdesk's AI cancel a Shopify order?

Willdesk's help center, checked November 3, 2026, says its AI assists with cancellations and escalates the request to your team, and guides address changes and returns before transferring them. Order tracking it answers directly. Aide cancels, refunds and changes addresses itself once the shopper is verified, by login or by order number plus checkout email.

### How does Willdesk charge for AI?

On top of the plan. Its help center prices AI at $0.20 per conversation of your plan's quota once AI is switched on, and the AI quota rises with the conversation quota. Each workspace gets 10 free AI uses to try it, and AI features switch off when the quota runs out.

### When is Willdesk the better fit?

When you want one low-cost inbox for email, live chat, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp, a hosted help center and FAQ pages, unlimited seats even on Free, or tracking pages from TrackingMore or ParcelPanel built in. Its App Store review history is far longer, and with AI off its paid plans start at $16.90 a month.

### When is Aide not the right fit?

If your support runs on phone calls, since Aide has no voice channel today, or your store is on WooCommerce and you need the AI to change orders there. Aide can read WooCommerce data but acts only on Shopify orders.

### Does Aide host a help center?

No. Aide imports yours from Zendesk, Gorgias, Intercom, Help Scout or Front, or your website up to 300 pages, and answers from it in chat and email. You can also write articles in Aide.

### Can Aide work inside another helpdesk?

Yes. Aide connects to Zendesk, Gorgias and Front on every plan, so a team on one of those keeps it. Teams without one use Aide Helpdesk, with routing, SLAs, macros and sender rules for automated email.
