We are updating our review as a warning to those considering Gorgias. After we left their platform, we endeavored to remove what is ours off of their platform per Privacy Concerns. Gorgias, once again, rather than addressing our concerns and working with us to resolve this very serious matter, is, in response, sending us form letters and sending us in circles (We have had other privacy concerns with them. See remainder of our review below). Buyer beware. Read their TOS to compare and to make decisions before signing onto their platform. We were with Gorgias for around 4 years. They were good in the beginning--had good support and the platform worked as it should. But, in this past year two we grew very disgruntled with them and could not wait for our term agreement to end with them. Reasons: they are very over-priced, their support is spotty (they have cut way back on support in the past couple of years) and they send you in circles, often not resolving the issue. We paid for their phone add-on and it never worked, despite many support tickets. The phone didn't ring to us, it glitched a lot, it was terrible. The platform itself is "noisy." And, one thing users should be very aware of: IF you forward an email from Gorgias to another person and then email the original sender your forwarded email will go to the original person! This is a nightmare for customer service. They did not listen to my complaint about this and sent me in endless circles, which is what they do. They tried to tell me Google does this, but it does not. Their fix? You have to manually erase the messages that fall below the one you are sending, which includes any forwarded messages. As a busy brand, I can tell you, remembering to comb my emails to make sure I haven't forwarded anything when answering back does not happen. What happens? Customers can see what you wrote in forwarded emails and it might not be something you want them to be privy to. We are so very glad to be done with Gorgias. We have moved away from Gorgias, and on to a better platform, that offers excellent customer service without any of these issues and is a lot less pricey.
Thank you for sharing your honest and detailed feedback, ThumbPro! We're sorry to hear that your experience with our platform and support did not meet your expectations. We take feedback like yours seriously and are committed to making improvements to better support our customers' needs.

Review stars is based on SUPPORT TEAM only! Its fairly seamless to install. Seems ok but have only recently installed. But the experience with their help desk is absolutely terrible today. Started off with 'Joeferson' who was somewhat a help with delayed responses. Then Sharmaine comes in after 30 mins saying she needs a min to catch up. ok no problems, thinking we only got 1 step in so wont take long. 25 mins later I ask if she is still there with a reply so basic it was ridiculous. Replied with the obvious of 'yes I have'. I ask has it really take an hour for you to tell me the code needs to be on every page i was it installed? (face palm). The asks me for a screen shot of the theme where I installed the code... ummm its not installed on the theme, surely you should know this? she replied with 'yes the content section, my bad!' wow... just wow. anyway a hour later she replies saying it to complex for them and they need the email team to do it, but dont worry, the team will continue trouble shooting! Over an hour wasted only to be told its to complex. Mind you this is only for the control center to be added to the website (what should be a simple issue). for an app that came recommended from my business coach, I think ill be asking for new recommendations because the support team they have on today don't know left from right. I dont normally leave reviews, especially like this one. I know most app support teams jump from customer to customer but oh my gosh. Extremely disappointed.
Hi there! We regret the poor experience you had due to the delayed response time, and we apologize for any inconvenience this caused.

It's so frustrating... The pricing structure that they show on their own website is VERY misleading. By moving the sliding bar to tell them how much interactions you expect, it looks like you get 160 tickets a month for $10. This isn't the case. It took me to send customer support a screenshot for them to clarify that it's $10 for 50 tickets then $0.40 per additional ticket. Their justification on this was that the best option is to stay on the $10 a month then pay $44 as that's better than paying $60 a month on the next plan up! The next option is $60. We are off back to help crunch as we know where we are with billing! They pride themselves on transparency... Would be good if they started out being honest and transparent from the beginning!

Their phone app does not work - it is broken 5 different ways. We've been barking at them for 4 months. My CS employee has literally NEVER been notified of a customer on the site messaging us. They let us know it is just not a priority. Infuriating. We are looking for a new solution.

**** MISLEADING **** Firstly, I gave this app 1 star because I am sure it is a great app with loads of features although I did not set it up completely. The reason being that you should CHECK YOUR SUBSCRIPTION whilst on the FREE TRIAL before you set it up. They give you all features which is about $360 USD a month ($550 AUD) aprox. Then when you want to get off the free trial and opt in for the $10 USD a month, all you get is 50 tickets. Everything else is an addon and costs $$. Please live chat them first before setting it up to confirm the features and not waste your time.
Hi Stoned Hilda! We appreciate your feedback and want to ensure that all our users have a positive experience. We genuinely regret to learn about any confusion or inconvenience you experienced with our subscription model.

NOT GOOD. They just keep on spamming you with emails. If you don't reply, they continue sending spam - once a week. You add them to spam filter, they use a different mail server and messages go through. Awful system - too expensive and not useful at all. There are hands full better and much cheaper alternatives out there (who also respect your privacy and don't send unwanted spam).
Hello, Team. We're sincerely sorry for the inconvenience you've faced. Your experience is important to us, and we're committed to resolving this promptly. We would like to contact you directly so that we can discuss this matter in more detail. With this said, would you be so kind as to email us at [email protected], and one of our dedicated Team members will make sure to address all your queries. Thank you so much in advance.

STAY AWAY - They have Zero support and will pass you from person to person. There is zero on-boarding help and no one will pick up a phone to call you. You can only manage Facebook, IG, Tik Tok and email. It's not the be all end all like they make it out to be. For a company that sells efficiency and service they have NONE. In three days I think I recevied emails from 6 different people and not one of them knew anything! All they want to do is sell you there service and none of them know anything about what they are selling. I have emails from them saying "I know nothing on how to set it up, but it really great" How the heck you know it's great if you don't know how it works? Total waste of my time and energy trying to make this stupid thing work. I'll find something better with time.
Hello, Team. We are sincerely sorry to hear about your impressions, and we can assure you that it is far from our intention to leave you feeling like that, and cause such disappointment when the truth is quite the opposite.

With that in mind, we will be reaching out in private to gather more details about your case, and do our very best to assist you, turning this experience around.

They just won't stop sending spam emails. We asked multiple times to stop but still they continue. Don't know how they manage to get through the spam filter that I set up monthly to bnlock their email but they do. Bravo! We tried using it and that is what we found: 1) Very expensive compare to available free or less expensive apps on the market 2) They don't take privacy seriously. The privacy and general terms links are not even linked or working on their website. 3) The functionality and the price model is a huge joke ) Their team is only good selling their product or unnerving potential customers regardless if they want it or not Look for cheaper and better alternatives and you will certainly find some...

they propose you trial for 7 days to check if it is a good fit for you. After 4 test tickets and just import mail box my account was disabled and i was required to pay for plan ... ? i try to contact with support team to get some information what happened as i just install app and didnt even test it. i got information that trial is limited and i have to buy subscription to use app. so my question is where are these information >? that i can use only 4 test ticket and than i have to pay for subscription. and how iu suposted to test app with 4 tickets ? also support..... nice guy who enter chat. 10 min waiting for respond. and after 3-4 messages he just gone without any messages..... if this is how its work the best thing is not even start to avoid future issues

After a confusing start with the app, I managed to get it working. The support doesn't have a live support chat for some reason, and after a while they emailed back mentioning a phone call... Not something I was looking for to be honest. When I signed up I really thought the Starter Plan was free but it's not so after 7 days of trying the app I will be removing. Wish they would support smaller businesses.
Dear Team, Thank you for sharing your concerns. We are really sorry to hear about this misunderstanding concerning the difference between our one-week free trial and our paid Subscription Plans. Here at Gorgias, transparency is what we advocate, and the same goes for our Pricing structure. Our Paid Subscription Plans can all be checked on our Pricing Page (https://www.gorgias.com/pricing), including all the features each of them offers. What we would also like to add is that we're genuinely sorry about the belated response when you initially tried to reach out. Please rest assured that one of our Team members will be getting in touch with you to discuss everything that you pointed out here. Thank you once again for bringing this matter to our attention.

We had high hopes for Gorgias. But key integrations they said they had simply did not work. We were told repeatedly the issues would be resolved, but after weeks we had to abandon. Further, the phone queue functionality is extremely limited. If phone service matters, do your diligence - this likely isn't the service for you. You can't prioritize agents, adjust queue roll times, offer call backs, etc. - pretty basic stuff for any operation, large or small. They have some nice features and this may work for small/niche applications, but it's just not ready for prime time if you truly are a multi-modal shop. Finally, beware the trial - they charged us up front and offered credits in subsequent months. When the platform didn't work as promised, they refused to refund the up front cost despite the fact that we never used the credits. Not a huge deal -the real cost to my business was the time, effort and expense of employees to implement a service that didn't live up to the hype, but it's reflective of a poor approach to clients/accountability.
Hello, Team. We appreciate you taking the time to leave your detailed feedback. We're genuinely sorry to learn that this is your impression. We would never want to see any of our clients leave with a bitter taste in their mouths. Your satisfaction is our top priority and this surely is not what we would like to hold ourselves to when it comes to the quality of our overall service. What you mentioned in the first part of your review is something that will be relayed to the dedicated teams as is definitely a learning opportunity for all of us. Concerning the Billing aspect, we do, however, keep everything perfectly transparent, providing the full information at the very beginning of your service with us. This being said, we are always ready to discuss any point of the Terms and Conditions of our Service with complete honesty and in full detail. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your review, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors. 🙏

Great app, Terrible support for bugs and issues. --- adjusted the review from 2 stars to 1 star after they decided to respond. They responded here as if something was going to happen, nothing happened. The service is terrible, they are constantly giving wrong advice and then someone else different picks up the ticket and gives additional wrong advice. ironic for a support ticketing app, shows their logic and systems doesn't work. save your sanity and find a different app.

Your satisfaction is of utmost importance to us and we would like to show how much we care, and that we'll do everything to find the best solution for you and your Team.

Gorgias continued to bill AFTER we uninstalled the app from our Shopify Store. We also had consistent issues with Gorgias having significant down-time and the app logging out of our laptops and phones without notice. Unless you were on their most expensive plan, support was poor — ZERO live onboarding. We LOL'd at their reply to this review because their claim that they somehow help everyone equally was absolutely NOT our experience. It's self-serve unless you're at the very highest levels. One thing that particularly irked us was - after watching the how-to video, Gorgias expects you to grant them full access to all your brand's customer communication channels (email, all the social media channles, website etc). You never get to talk to a live person. We simply didn't trust or have faith in Gorgias to hand that access over. Luckily - many Gorgias features now come standard with Shopify since the latest Shopify update.
Hello Team. We're saddened to learn that you've decided to end your journey with us. Every single team at Gorgias is always ready to work on any issue with utmost dedication, ensuring that your questions are answered in the shortest amount of time. It has never been our intention to make you feel this way, and this is why we're extremely sorry to hear that you have such an overall impression of Gorgias. Please rest assured that we strive to equally assist all our clients whenever they need us, and that will never change. We would like to thank you for taking the time to provide us with the details of your experience which will surely be useful to improve our service in the future. We wish you all the best.

There is a MASSIVE bug in Gorgias - Once you click "Send" or "Send and close," there's a popup that says "Message sent" along with a button that says "Undo." If you close the tab before that goes away, your message DOES NOT get sent or saved in drafts. You have to do it over! I've spent an afternoon plowing through tickets and now I have to do ALL of them over again.
Hi Team Biotikur! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! Your valuable input regarding the "Send and Close" feature has been passed on to the development team. Rest assured, your concerns are being taken seriously, and our dev team will continue working on improving the efficiency of the mentioned feature. Your satisfaction is our top priority! We genuinely appreciate your candidness and are grateful for the opportunity to improve our product and ensure that your Gorgias experience is smooth and hassle-free. 🙏🏼

Very bad application and service. We sent an email to their billing department and we did not get a response on the unsubscription. Also very difficult to use compared to Helpscout. I do not recommend it at all. They made a reply and said that it is unsubscribed. However, IT IS NOT!!!!! I still see my credit card details and can login to my account. What is going on with you guys and why you made it incredibly difficult to cancel?
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and for bringing this to our attention, Team. Having spoken to our Billing Team, we can confirm that your subscription was fully canceled and that the confirmation was sent your way. Your opinion is of utmost importance to us, and please be assured your feedback has been shared internally so that we can take steps to improve the cancellation process. We're sincerely grateful for your patience and understanding throughout this entire time. 🙏 Update: Dear Team, thank you for getting back to us. We have just sent you another email double-confirming that your subscription with us has ended and we provided some additional information, as well. Once again, we highly appreciate your cooperation, patience, and understanding. 🙏
