Shopify Widget

Add SupportUnicorn to Your Shopify Store

If your team already triages client conversations in shared Slack Connect channels, the SupportUnicorn widget adds a second way for shoppers to reach you straight from your Shopify store, and every message lands in the same queue your team already checks. It does not look up orders, recommend products, or recover abandoned carts on its own, and it is not a general-purpose AI chatbot for anonymous visitors.

What It Actually Does

One widget script, the same queue

Built for teams whose support already runs through Slack Connect.

One script, any theme

A single widget script pasted into your theme code works on Shopify and Shopify Plus, no app store install needed.

Same triaged queue

Messages from the widget land in the same queue as your Slack Connect channels, with ownership and open or closed state, not a separate inbox to check.

No AI auto-answers

A real person on your team sees and answers every message. Nothing gets auto-resolved or auto-closed.

No automatic order lookups

The widget does not pull order status, shipping, or product data from Shopify on its own. Order questions land in your queue like any other message.

Async loading

The script loads without blocking the rest of your storefront from rendering.

One flat price

$49 a month per connected Slack workspace. The widget is included, not billed as a separate add-on.

Install it on Shopify

Step 3: Add it to your theme

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers before you install anything.

Is this an AI chatbot that answers Shopify shoppers automatically?

No. SupportUnicorn does not generate automatic answers or resolve questions on its own. The widget captures the message and adds it to your triaged Slack Connect queue, where a real person on your team owns and answers it, the same as a message that arrived in a Slack Connect channel.

Does it look up order status, shipping, or tracking automatically?

No. Unlike a storefront chatbot app, the widget does not connect to your Shopify order data. If a shopper asks where their order is, the question lands in your Slack Connect queue and someone on your team looks it up and replies, the same as any other message.

Does it recover abandoned carts or recommend products?

No. SupportUnicorn is a triage tool, not a marketing or sales automation tool. It does not send cart-recovery messages or generate product recommendations.

Does it work with Shopify Plus?

Yes. The widget is one script pasted into your theme code, so it works the same way on Shopify, Shopify Plus, and any other Shopify plan.

Do I need Slack Connect already set up to use this?

Yes, in practice. The widget is a second inlet into the same queue as your Slack Connect channels, not a standalone inbox. If your team's client conversations do not already run through shared Slack Connect channels, start with our guide to using Slack for customer support before adding the widget.

How much does it cost?

SupportUnicorn is $49 a month per connected Slack workspace, flat, with no per-seat fee and no free tier. The website widget is included at that price, it is not billed separately per store.
