Zendesk alternatives for marketplace sellers
Zendesk does almost everything, but a marketplace seller pays per agent and adds a connector for Amazon and Mirakl messages, while WhatsApp and live chat come with the Suite plans. These are the alternatives sellers compare it with, from general helpdesks to marketplace specialists, priced for the same two teams.
Miross covers more than support. The same workspace keeps the orders from every channel in one order book, makes shipping labels by your rules with your own carrier contracts, issues invoices with EU VAT, sets a price per marketplace from your margin rules and runs returns from the portal to the refund. Mike, its assistant, answers from your own orders, costs and cases and prepares the work for you to confirm.
Priced for the same two teams
Per month, excluding VAT, billed yearly where offered. The last two columns show what each site documents about Amazon and Mirakl.
Small team: 2 agents, 500 conversations a month. Growing team: 5 agents, 2,000 conversations a month. Each vendor’s cheapest documented setup for the team, with connectors where Amazon or Mirakl need one; the page comparing it with Miross shows every line.

What Miross does beyond the inbox
Support is one part of Miross. The same workspace runs the rest of a seller’s back office, and every part works from the same orders.
Orders
Orders from Amazon, your marketplaces and your own shop in one order book: what ships today, what is on hold and what already left.
Shipping labels
Labels made automatically by your rules, with your own carrier contracts or Sendcloud. Tracking goes back to the marketplace.
Invoices with EU VAT
An invoice for each order with the VAT it calls for: one-stop shop, home VAT, intra-community or local registration. Your numbering series and your template.
Prices per marketplace
A price for each marketplace and country, worked out from your costs and your margin rules.
Returns
A returns portal for your customers, the label from your carrier, reception by scanning with a phone and the refund.
Catalogue and purchasing
Products with their costs, suppliers and purchase orders in one catalogue.
Warehouse
A location for every product and pick routes for the day’s orders.
Mike
The assistant that works inside Miross: ask in plain words how the shop is doing and he answers from your own orders, costs and cases, drafts replies and prepares the work.
When to stay with Zendesk
- Your team is large, with complex routing, several brands and voice.
- You depend on apps from Zendesk’s marketplace.
- You need enterprise controls and a long track record.
Switching from Zendesk to Miross
- Request an invite; we set up the workspace with you.
- Connect Amazon and each Mirakl marketplace directly in Miross, and disconnect them from ChannelReply, or whichever connector you use, so messages don’t arrive twice.
- Connect your support mailbox, and WhatsApp on Growth, through the sign-in wizard.
- Recreate the triggers and automations you rely on as Miross rules.
- Keep Zendesk until its open tickets are closed and export what you need to keep, then cancel Zendesk and the connector at the end of their billing periods.

Questions sellers ask
Which of these helpdesks connect Amazon and Mirakl marketplaces?

Is Miross only a helpdesk?
No. Support is one part of it. The same workspace keeps the orders from every channel in one order book, makes shipping labels by your rules with your own carrier contracts, issues invoices with EU VAT, sets prices per marketplace from your margin rules, and runs returns, the catalogue, purchasing and the warehouse. This page compares the support part.
What does Mike, Miross’s assistant, do?
Mike works inside Miross. Ask him in plain words what has to ship today, how much you earned yesterday or which products lose money, and he answers from your own orders, costs and cases. He drafts replies in the customer’s language and prepares the work that follows; a person confirms before anything is sent to a customer.
Does Miross make shipping labels and invoices for marketplace orders?
Yes. Orders from Amazon, your marketplaces and your own shop land in one order book. Your rules choose the carrier, on your own contracts or through Sendcloud, and the label is made by itself, with tracking sent back to the marketplace. Invoices carry the VAT each sale calls for: one-stop shop, home VAT, intra-community or local registration. Shipping is on every plan and invoicing from Growth.
