Ecommerce Help Desk for the Team Behind the Customer Desk

‍

Leave, payroll, and onboarding questions as private tickets, answered from your HR policies with a record of each one.

Ticketing for Ecommerce Ops, Wholesale, and Retail Teams

Everyone behind your customer desk uses the same queue, whether they are internal staff or a wholesale account in a shared Slack channel.

DTC brands

A direct-to-consumer brand hands off the cases its desk cannot close. Fulfillment, finance, and engineering pick them up as tickets. Each ticket has an owner and a status.

Partner accounts

Wholesale buyers, distributors, and 3PLs raise requests in their own Slack Connect channels. The retail ticketing system tracks each account separately, with an SLA on the reply.

Store teams

Store and warehouse staff raise stock, systems, and facilities requests in Slack. The retail help desk routes each one to the team that handles it.

Zendesk, Intercom, and Email Escalations Become Tickets

Support agents keep working in the tool they know, and the escalation moves into Slack where the internal teams already are.
  • Zendesk or Intercom integration opens the ticket. Other desks escalate by posting in #ops-escalations or forwarding the mail to ops@
  • The form asks for the order number, the channel, the amount, and the deadline before the ticket opens
  • Fulfillment, finance, engineering, and wholesale each work from their own Inbox, like the internal queues other departments use

Approval for Refunds and Credits Happens on the Ticket

Refund policy exceptions need a person with the authority to say yes. Suptask puts that person in the same thread as the request.
  • The approver answers in Slack, and the approval is marked granted or declined on the ticket
  • A threshold on the amount sets which refunds need a sign-off and which ones the agent clears alone
  • Suptask records who approved the credit and why. Finance reads it from the ticket, and the money moves in the store or payment platform

Each Partner Account Has Its Own Channel and SLA

Wholesale requests come from named buyers at companies you already trade with. Everything they raise is tracked against the account.
  • A Slack Connect channel is shared with each account, and the buyer raises requests from their own workspace
  • Reply and resolution targets are set per account, so a key distributor can carry a tighter SLA than a small reseller
  • Partners not on Slack send email, and the ticket opens in the same Inbox. From there, it escalates to fulfillment or finance like any other case

Escalations, Approvals, and Turnaround Time, Measured

Analytics reads what the tickets already hold. Export to CSV covers the reviews that happen outside Suptask.
  • The report shows what was escalated and where the order came from, web, marketplace, or wholesale
  • The time an escalation takes inside the company is measured, and so is the volume of refund approvals
  • Peak weeks are covered by an SLA on the internal reply. The repeat questions go to Suptask AI, which answers from your policy documents
"The biggest impact Suptask has made on our team is that we now have an organized way to process questions and requests from our employees. All communication for a request stays within Slack and the Suptask ticket - which was an impossible feat in the past."

What Suptask Changes About Ecommerce Help Desk Software

The customer desk keeps doing its job. What Suptask changes is the part that starts after an agent escalates a case.
No DM chasing
Once a case is escalated, the status stays on the ticket, and the agent does not have to go asking around for it.
Approval and reasons
The approval and the reason for it are both kept with the ticket, which helps finance later when the credit is checked.
Bugs reach engineering
Engineering takes the bug in their own Inbox and works it from there. Support follows the same ticket to know when the fix has gone out.
One channel per account
Each account is a shared channel, and the requests are escalated here against that account with an SLA specific to it.
Requesters are free
Only the people answering tickets need a paid seat. Agents, warehouse staff, and partners who raise requests are unlimited and free on every plan.
Nothing shopper-facing
Suptask has no chat widget, no order lookup, and no social inbox. Shoppers keep raising questions in tools they are already using like Gorgias, Zendesk, or Intercom.

How an Ecommerce Ticketing System Works in Slack

Suptask is installed on your Slack workspace once. Everything below happens in the channels your teams already use.

Escalate

The agent escalates from the case in Zendesk or Intercom, or by posting the order in an escalation channel.

Route and approve

‍

Routing sends the ticket to fulfillment, finance, or engineering. Amounts above the threshold go for approval first.

Act and update

Work happens in the team's own Inbox, and the agent reads the outcome on the ticket. The shopper hears from the customer desk as usual.

Connect Your Customer Desk and Tools to the Operations Queue

Zendesk and Intercom send cases into Suptask. HubSpot and Salesforce carry the account details behind a wholesale request. Site bugs go to Jira or GitHub. Policy documents are read from Notion and Confluence. Email arrives at its own address.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Suptask an ecommerce help desk for shoppers?

No, it is not for shoppers. Suptask is used by the teams that work behind the customer desk, the fulfillment people, finance, engineering, and they pick up the cases support is not able to close on its own. It is not e-commerce customer support software. There is no chat widget in it. Order lookup is also not there, and the social inbox and the returns portal are things you will not get here. The shopper keeps talking to the desk you are running to.

How does an ecommerce ticketing system in Slack work with Zendesk or Gorgias?

Zendesk and Intercom have an integration with Suptask, and with that, the case gets escalated into a ticket. That one is on the Custom plan. Gorgias does not have the integration, so what the agent does there is post in the Slack channel, or the email is forwarded to the ops address, and the ticket opens anyway. The status of the ticket can be seen by the agent while the internal team is working on it. The shopper hears back from your desk only.

Can we approve refunds and goodwill credits in Slack?

Yes, the approval can be requested on the ticket itself. The person who has the authority answers in Slack, and the reason also gets recorded with it. Thresholds on the amount come with the Growth plan, so the smaller credits the agent is allowed to clear without any approval. The refund is not issued by Suptask. It happens in your store or in the payment platform, Suptask is only keeping the decision and the reason for it.

Does Suptask integrate with Shopify?

No. Shopify integration is not available, and the order data does not come onto the ticket by itself. A Shopify ticketing system will normally read the orders, refunds, and fulfillment status straight from the store. Suptask is not doing that part. What happens instead is the support agent puts the order number and the amount on the form at the time of escalating. The team that acts on it is working in Shopify or in the warehouse system, same as before.

Can we support wholesale and marketplace partners this way?

Yes, this is how the wholesale accounts get handled. A Slack Connect channel is shared with each account from your own workspace, and the buyers, the distributors, and the 3PLs are raising their requests inside that channel. Partners who are not on Slack will send an email instead and it becomes the same ticket. SLA per account is available on Growth. It is the same model that B2B [customer support] runs on.

What does Suptask cost?

The pricing is per agent, and an agent means the person who answers the tickets. Requesters do not cost anything. There is no limit on them either, so your support agents, the warehouse staff, the partners- all of them are free on every plan. Starter is $15 per agent per month on the annual billing. Professional is $24, and with that you get the Inbox per team, approvals, Slack Connect, and email intake. Growth is $38, SLA management and the approval thresholds come in that one. Zendesk and Intercom integrations are on the Custom plan, there is a fee per integration. The Suptask pricing page has the full details.
