CaseKit for Gmail

Shopify order details and replies, inside Gmail.

Use the optional CaseKit extension to see the order beside your customer’s email. Request a draft, review and edit it, then insert your reply.

Install the Shopify app first. Gmail requires desktop Chrome and a connected store. Prefer to work in Shopify Admin? No extension or Google connection is needed.

With CaseKit cost = support labour + $19 Pro / month. $19 per Shopify store, not per person. USD; taxes excluded. Year = 12 months at monthly billing.

Your assumptions, not a measured benchmark. This estimates the Gmail extension workflow. Allow for loading in generation, and checking and edits in review. You still review and send every reply. Recovered time does not automatically reduce payroll. Shopify Admin also works on its own; Gmail is optional.

A few things to know

Do I need the Shopify app before using CaseKit in Gmail?
Yes. Install CaseKit in Shopify first, then add the optional Chrome extension and connect the Google account that handles support from CaseKit in Shopify Admin. The Shopify Admin app works on its own without Gmail or an extension.
Is this a real Shopify Gmail integration?
CaseKit connects your Shopify store to the Gmail conversation you are reading. The Gmail extension is a Chrome extension rather than a Gmail add-on: it renders a panel beside the open conversation and reads Shopify through your connected store. Gmail itself is untouched.
Does CaseKit use the Gmail API?
No. The Gmail workflow uses a Chrome content-script adapter that reads the conversation currently open on screen. CaseKit does not request Gmail API restricted scopes and does not connect to your mail account.
Does it work with Google Workspace and a shared support inbox?
CaseKit works in Gmail on the web, including Google Workspace accounts. Connect one Google account to one store on any plan. You can use that account on more than one computer.
Does it work in the Gmail mobile app?
The admin app works wherever your Shopify admin does, including mobile. The optional Gmail extension is Chrome on desktop only.
What Shopify permissions does it need?
Read-only access to the order, customer and fulfillment data needed to resolve the order behind a conversation. CaseKit cannot refund, cancel, edit or fulfill orders.
Will it slow Gmail down or break my inbox?
CaseKit is designed to fail quietly. If it cannot resolve an order or reach Shopify, it shows that in its own panel and leaves Gmail working exactly as before.

Bring the order into your inbox.

Start with the Shopify app, then connect the optional Gmail extension.
