What Answerbase is
Answerbase is a paid product knowledge platform for ecommerce merchants. It identifies customer information needs and knowledge gaps, then helps teams create material for product questions, search visibility, AI answers, and sales support. Its AI drafts responses from existing product knowledge, while merchants review and approve them before publication. Approved answers can be reused in product Q&A, product and collection FAQs, buying guides, knowledge base articles, AI responses, and support resources. Conversion analytics show which questions drive engagement, relate to purchases, or leave buyers uncertain. Shopify integration syncs products and collections, supports App Proxy and webhooks, and displays Q&A through the store theme. Gorgias and Zendesk integrations use support questions and tickets to find FAQ candidates. Plans start at $149 a month, with a 30-day trial and no free plan.
