  • Who is eDesk better for?

    Staying fair: on marketplaces, eDesk is clearly ahead today.

    • Sellers whose revenue comes mainly from Amazon, eBay, Walmart or Cdiscount.
    • Teams with many stores on several marketplaces that bundle messages per store.
    • Sellers on TikTok Shop.
    • Anyone used to dollar prices and support in English.
  • Who is Talkward better for?

    And these are the cases where Talkward is the better choice.

    • Stores in Germany with their own shop and ERP that need a fixed server location.
    • Merchants on JTL-Wawi or Billbee whose order data the AI should use directly.
    • Teams that want a euro price per plan instead of per user in dollars.
    • Stores with international customers that need LiveTranslate without copy and paste.

Questions about switching from eDesk

Question not listed? Write to us at hey@talkward.app.

Can Talkward handle my Amazon messages?

Yes, Amazon buyer messages are a channel of the brand, with order number and 24-hour deadline. eBay, Otto Market and Kaufland.de are planned.

What happens to old tickets?

Talkward does not import eDesk tickets. Work through open tickets in eDesk, new messages arrive in Talkward.

Does Talkward bill per user?

No. One price per plan, Basic €79 to Advanced €279 per month (provisional, net), with 5 to 25 agents per plan.

Where is my data stored?

Storage in ISO/IEC 27001:2022-certified data centres in Nuremberg, separated per merchant. Translation by DeepL (Cologne), AI by Mistral (Paris). “Europe only” option per brand. Without “Europe only”, Claude generates the AI replies, either in Frankfurt (AWS) or in the US (Anthropic). You receive a data processing agreement listing all sub-processors before the start.

I sell mainly on marketplaces. Should I switch?

Honestly: if eBay, Walmart or Cdiscount are your main channels today, eDesk is the better choice. Let us know and we will get in touch as soon as the marketplace channels are ready in Talkward.
