Tidio, native.
Tidio is an SMB Gorgias alternative with strong Shopify integration. Inside a Talmee app it ships as native React Native components, not a web-view embed.

How it is wired
Tidio's chat, AI bot and order-context handoff render in-app. Pre-chat forms surface order context automatically.
The native vs web-view fork
Tidio is the right Shopify SMB pick. Gorgias-style features at SMB pricing. Talmee uses each partner's REST or GraphQL API directly and renders with native React Native components. The visible result is faster, more cohesive, and platform-correct on both iOS and Android.
Pricing
Talmee's flat £1,999 a month covers the Tidio integration build and every release after. There is no extra integration fee, no per-API-call charge, no revenue share. The brand's own Tidio subscription is paid directly to Tidio, unchanged.
On Tidio in a Talmee app
How is Tidio wired into a Talmee app?
Tidio's chat, AI bot and order-context handoff render in-app. Pre-chat forms surface order context automatically. The wiring is built during the standard two-week launch and there is no extra integration fee.
What is the typical performance lift?
+18% support-deflection rate on FAQ-heavy categories. Talmee benchmarks pre and post-launch so the impact is a measured number rather than a hope.
Why does it matter that the integration is native?
Tidio is the right Shopify SMB pick. Gorgias-style features at SMB pricing. A native React Native component loads instantly, respects iOS and Android conventions, and reads as part of the app. A web-view embed reads as a website inside an app, which is the experience customers download an app to escape.
