Callify gives your store a number customers can call and text, and rings it through to the phone you already carry. Set it up inside the admin in about two minutes. Customers see the store number, never yours.

Hi, this is Dana. I ordered the walnut pour-over stand last week, order 1043, and I'm just checking whether it's shipped yet. Feel free to text me back. Thanks!
How a call reaches you
So you always know why your phone rang, or why it didn’t. No desk phone, no app left open, no number to memorise.
They dial the toll-free number on your site or packing slip. It costs them nothing, from anywhere in the US or Canada.
Closed, or a holiday? The caller goes straight to voicemail and your phone stays quiet. Open? The call carries on.
“Call for Northside Coffee, from (415) 555-0142. Press any key to accept, or hang up to send it to voicemail.”
Only you hear that. The caller hears ordinary ringing.
Recorded and written out, if you keep recording on. Press nothing and the caller leaves a voicemail instead. Either way, it lands in your admin.
Screening is also what keeps your carrier’s voicemail from grabbing store calls. A recorded greeting can’t press a key, so an unanswered call ends up in your Callify inbox, written out, instead of on your personal phone.
What you get
Calls, texts and voicemail sit alongside your orders and customers. There’s no separate dashboard to log into and no second phone to carry.
A US or Canadian number that’s free for customers to call. Search by digits, or by letters that spell something on a keypad.
Forward to your mobile, a landline or a VoIP line. There’s no second handset to buy and no app to keep open.
Hear who’s calling and press a key to accept. Store calls never end up in your personal voicemail by mistake.
Every message is written out as text. Skim ten voicemails in the time it takes to listen to one.
Record the calls you answer, with a transcript split by speaker and timestamped. Both sides hear the announcement first.
Customers text the same number. You reply from a thread in your admin, with a delivery status under every message.
Set a weekly schedule in your store’s timezone, with exceptions for dates you’re closed. Outside it, callers go to voicemail instead of ringing you at 4am.
When a caller matches one of your customers, their name, order count and lifetime spend sit next to the conversation.
Every call, text and voicemail is logged with who, roughly where from, and how long. Export the lot as a CSV.
Setup
Two questions, then your line is taking calls. Everything else is optional and can wait.
Callify opens inside your admin, next to orders and customers. No separate login, and no card to enter: it bills through Shopify.
Take one from the list, or search by digits or by letters. Typing SHOP finds numbers containing 7467. US or Canada, your choice.
Your mobile, a landline or a VoIP line. Callify buys the number and points it at your phone. From that moment, it’s live.
When you’re ready, the home page walks you through business hours, a recorded greeting, registering the number for texting, and a test call.Each step has a guide in the help center.
Pricing
Choose on how much you’ll use, not on what you get. Usage beyond your allowance is billed per minute or per text, and never past the spending cap you set.

Questions

No, it routes to it. Calls to your store number ring whichever phone you nominate: your mobile, a landline or a VoIP line. If that phone is off or out of signal, the caller goes to voicemail.
Not yet. Callify handles calls to your store number; you place calls from your own phone as you always have. Texting works in both directions.
The United States and Canada, for both your store number and the phone it forwards to. A US toll-free number is still free to call from Canada, and vice versa.
US and Canadian carriers block business texts from unregistered toll-free numbers. Callify walks you through a one-time form with your business details; the carriers usually decide within a few business days. Calls, voicemail and receiving texts all work in the meantime.
Your voicemail greeting, then a beep. Record your own by phone or upload an audio file; until then, a synthesised voice reads a default. The message they leave is written out for you.
Callify plays “This call may be recorded for quality and training purposes” to both sides before you’re connected, which is what most jurisdictions require. Turn recording off and the announcement stops too. Rules vary by state and province, so check your own obligations if you record at scale.
Through your Shopify invoice, every 30 days. There’s no card to enter and no separate account. Usage beyond your plan is billed per minute or per text, up to a spending cap you control. Reaching the cap stops the billing, not your phone line.
The subscription stops, the number is released, and your data is removed. Export your call history first if you want to keep it.
Install Callify, pick a number, say which phone should ring. Two minutes from install to a live line.
