Your store, on the phone
Everything your website does, done on a call.
Your callers shop the way they would on your website — with an AI agent doing the clicking. Same catalog, same prices, same stock, same checkout, and every order in the same place.
Search and browse
“Cocktail dresses in medium, under $200?” — it searches your catalog and suggests what fits.
Product pages
Details, sizes, colours, choices and stock — exactly as your store has them, right now.
FAQs and policies
Shipping, returns, hours and the rest, learned from your website and kept up to date.
Cart
Adds, changes and removes items as the caller goes, then reads the whole cart back.
Checkout
Delivery or pickup, the real fee for their postal code, now or a time later.
Payment
Cash or card at pickup or the door, or a secure pay link by text from a Phonefront phone store — never a card number read out.
Order confirmation
The order lands in your store like a web order, and the caller gets it by text.
Customer account
Regulars are recognised by their number, with their usual address and order.
Order tracking
“Where's my order?” — status and timing, from your store.
Cancellations
Cancels an order for the caller, as long as your store hasn't started on it.
Contact us
Questions, messages and complaints reach the right person, with the caller's details.
The problem
A missed call is often a missed order.
Phone orders come from your most loyal customers. When nobody picks up, they don't leave a message — they call someone else. And keeping people on the phones to catch every call costs more than most businesses can carry.
01
The line is busy
Two calls at once and the second caller hears a busy signal — then orders from someone else.
02
You're closed, or slammed
After hours, at the rush, or when the team is out on deliveries, the phone just rings.
03
Phone staff cost by the hour
A call centre, or someone on your team stuck on the phone, is paid busy or quiet — and callers still wait on hold at the rush.
Phonefront's AI agent answers those calls — several at once, with your catalog, your prices, your zones and your hours — and takes the sale through to your store.
For Canadian businesses that sell — whether you answer the phone yourself, don't have a call centre yet, or want to automate the one you have.
How it works
Live in three steps
Set up your AI agent yourself in minutes: we read what we can from your website and your store, so you check instead of type. Try it in test mode, forward your line when you're happy. On the Custom plan, we set it up with you.
- 1
Give us your website
We read your address, hours, delivery areas and policies from it — you just check what we found. No website? Fill them in once.
- 2
Connect your store — or open a phone store
Connect WooCommerce in a click, or Shopify by the next business day, and your products, prices, delivery zones and hours stay in sync. A custom-built website? We read your products from it every night. No website? Build your menu or product list in a Phonefront phone store, or upload a spreadsheet.
- 3
Forward your line
Your AI agent gets its own Canadian number. Forward your existing number to it — all calls, the overflow, or after hours — and unforward any time.
Orders
Phone orders land in your store
Phone orders land where your web orders do — in your online store, or your Phonefront Orders inbox with a chime — paid by text link or at the door.
- Placed like a web order: items, sizes, address, notes
- Pay-by-text links paid into your own Stripe
- The caller gets the order by text, and updates later

The AI agent
Your best salesperson, on every call
Not a chatbot on a phone line, and not a receptionist taking messages — an AI agent that knows your store as well as your best salesperson, and completes the sale.
Knows your whole catalog
Every product, size and price, matched to how callers really talk — nicknames, shorthand, “the big one”. It searches before it answers, every time.
Real delivery fees
Postal-code-exact fees from your own delivery zones. Areas you don't cover are told so — never promised.
Knows when you're open
Your hours, holidays and closures. Closed means closed — or, if you take orders for later, the order is set for when you can have it ready.
Orders land in your store
Through our integrations, into your online store like a web order — or, in a Phonefront phone store, into your Orders inbox with a chime. The caller gets the order by text, and from a phone store, another text when it's ready.
Pay by text
In a Phonefront phone store, callers can pay by a secure link texted to them, straight into your own Stripe account. No card numbers read out on the phone, and Phonefront takes no cut.
Remembers your regulars
Returning callers are greeted by name, and “the usual” is remembered — their address is still confirmed every time, in case they've moved.
Hears through a bad line
Phones garble words: “thin” comes through as “10”, a brand as something close. It matches by sound and checks with the caller — postal codes too.
Sounds like a person
Natural, human-sounding voices, a speed your older customers can follow, and patience to let callers finish. No phone tree, no hold music.
Complaints reach you
A missed delivery or a damaged item goes straight to your inbox with the caller's details — so you can make it right.
A call centre that scales
At least two callers at once on every plan, up to six on Scale and as many as you need on Custom — all on one number. No seats to staff: add room for another caller any time, for $25 a month.
Grows your text list
If you'd like, it asks callers whether they want your deals by text — and keeps proof of every yes.
Your name, your address
On the Custom plan your team signs in at your own domain, under your own name — no Phonefront in sight.
You stay in control
Safe to switch on
Start in test mode, see every call, and go live when you're happy. Going back is just un-forwarding your line.
Test mode first
Try every call end to end. Orders stay in your dashboard until you switch to live.
Every call on record
Transcripts, summaries and outcomes for every call — orders, complaints, messages.
Live commentary and real-time alerts
On Growth and up, see every call as it happens with a running commentary, and get an email or text the moment one goes wrong — one problem per message, ready to forward to the right person.
Your number for emergencies
No hold queue for a human — but a truly urgent problem is passed straight to your phone.
Pricing
Simple monthly plans
Pay for minutes, not seats. Every plan includes the complete AI agent and our integrations; Growth and up add live commentary and real-time alerts. Prices in Canadian dollars.

Questions
Good to know
What is agentic commerce on the phone?
An AI agent that does the shopping with your caller, the way your website does it on a screen: it searches your catalog, answers product questions, checks sizes and stock, builds the cart, quotes delivery, takes payment and places the order in your store — then tracks, changes or cancels it when they call back.
Is this voice commerce, or AI phone ordering?
Both, for your own store. Voice commerce usually means a smart speaker ordering from one big retailer, and AI phone ordering usually stops at taking the order. Phonefront puts your own catalog and checkout on your own phone line — search, questions, cart, payment and the order in your store — and handles where's-my-order and cancelling after.
Is Phonefront an AI receptionist?
No — it does more. A receptionist answers and takes a message. Phonefront is your online store on the phone: it answers your calls, several at once, day or night, and completes the sale, from the first question to the order in your store.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. Forward your existing business line to your AI agent's number — a quick change with your phone provider, with step-by-step guides for Bell, Rogers, Telus and mobile phones. Unforward any time.
What if a caller asks for a person?
It explains it's the one taking calls and helps them — that's almost always what they need. Only a real emergency is passed to your number.
Do callers pay on the phone?
Never by reading out a card. They pay as they do today — cash or card at the door or at pickup — or, in a Phonefront phone store with your Stripe account connected, by a secure link texted to them. That money goes straight to you; Phonefront takes no cut.
Who is it for?
Canadian businesses that sell — online stores, restaurants, shops and delivery services, one location or many. Whether you answer the phone yourself today, don't have a call centre yet, or run one with people and want to automate it, Phonefront puts your whole store on the phone.
How do orders reach my business?
Through our integrations: connect your online store — WooCommerce and Shopify now, with Square, Clover, Lightspeed, Wix and BigCommerce coming soon — and phone orders land in it like web orders. A custom-built website? We read your catalog from it every night. No website? Open a Phonefront phone store: your menu or product list, an orders inbox, and payment links texted to callers.
We already have a call centre. Can Phonefront replace it?
Yes, or back it up. Send it every call, only the overflow, or just after-hours. The AI agent takes many callers at once, completes each order in your store, and you pay for minutes, not seats.
