There is one annoying problem we'd love Shopify Inbox to fix. When a customer starts a chat with you, Shopify Inbox detects their location and lists it under their name at the top of the chat. eg. (United Kingdom). However, there is no way you can search for that information in Shopify. As an example we had a lot of customers from (United States) contact us and ask when we would be open in USA. Once we were open in USA we went to create a customer segment of all those US enquiries but weren't able to. There is a Search box in Shopify Inbox but it only searches what you or the customer have written in the chat. It doesn't find other customer details like their location. Surely this would be an easy fix? If so, when Shopify Inbox automatically creates a customer card for Chat customers, capture their location too please!!

Never had any issues with this app at all. Does exactly what it is supposed to, and is easy to use. I haven't had any complaints from customers trying to chat either.

Having a direct connection with your customers and effectively addressing their problems can lead to positive changes and satisfaction for your customers.

Really good, it's reduced our email enquiries and increased sales. Would love to see more automations in the app

Shopify Inbox has served us very well over the years, however I would like to disable the recently introduced CATCHPA on the Inbox Chat. I do not believe this feature is serving us well. It reduces considerably the number of opportunistic chats that are taking place. Our potential customers do not want to jump through hoops to chat with us. Just add this option to the settings. In the meantime I am tempted to look for something else to replace Inbox.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm happy to hear that you have been enjoying the app over the years. To provide some context, reCAPTCHA helps analyze the behavior of visitors to your online store to block spam from bots. However, you can disable reCAPTCHA on your store by following this guide: https://shopify.link/2drP. Rest assured, I have shared your feedback with our developers as we're always looking for ways to improve the app. -Mac, Shopify Support

It looks good, however, can't figre out how to configure answers to FAQ, that should be a simple feature. If I can't do that I will have to uninstall as there will be a lot of messages that are only a waste of time to answer.
Hi there! Thank you for reviewing the Shopify Inbox app. To configure your FAQ section quickly, you can utilize the Instant Answers feature. This allows you to create automatic responses for frequently asked questions, which will be presented to customers when they click the chat button. You can learn how to set this up by following this guide: https://shopify.link/kz7D. -Mac, Shopify Support

Now that Facebook and Instagram are no longer integrated, we need to look for another app. This app had potential, but now sadly is slightly better than useless

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your feedback. Currently, the Facebook & Instagram Messenger Channel is no longer supported by Shopify Inbox. However, customers can still initiate conversations while browsing your online store and through the Shop chat on the Shop App. -Mac, Shopify Support

Just enabled chat 2 hours ago and have already received 8 spam messages. What can we do to block these spammers?
Hi there, thanks for your review. Spam messages are often an unfortunate inevitability when you open up lines of communication on your store, but you can block messages within Inbox when you see that they are spam. You can also enable Google reCAPTCHA on your store to prevent bots from contacting you: https://shopify.link/2drP. -Victor, Shopify Support

Great potential BUT so many flaws that I'm looking for an alternative now.... 1-Like all other reviews, I don't like that profiles are being created when someone enters their email address - I doubt this is even legal (following current privacy/GDPR regulations) 2-The fact that customer have to screenshot an image so I can see what product they're talking about is not practical. The app should be able to automatically "capture" whatever product-page they're contacting me from (other apps do this). 3-I should be able to reply to these people via text (instead of -or as well as - email). I've lost sales because of this. A customer may not see a reply if it's sent to their email inbox, even if I reply within minutes. That email may even end up in their spam folder and I don't have the time to be chasing POTENTIAL-customers individually. Good things: the design is beautiful. Installing the application super easy. The FAQs feature is beautifully designed and so easy to use/customise (the faq-suggestions given are amazing).
Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we truly appreciate it. As I can completely understand the benefit of having that as a feature for the app, I've gone ahead and shared your feedback with our developers. This will allow us to consider this in future updates. - Blair, Shopify Support

Your app creates customer profiles on its own, so when the customer goes to create an account, it says "this email is already in use".And also on resetting password it show their is no account but on login it shows email already exists.

Best chat app so far. Track my order feature is the best which I like. Thanks Shopify for making E-Commerce websites more valuable.

it is a spam magnet!! get it if you want to be inundated with nigerian digial marketers every hour of the rest of your life
Hi, there. We appreciate you reaching out and sharing your experience. Earlier last month, our development team enabled hCaptcha to Shopify Inbox to help reduce spam and blocking conversations one by one. If you'd like, you can give the app another try to test out this new feature. We hope this helps! - Moira, Shopify Support.

Huge potential, but I have to block 30-50 people a day as they're just scammers from weird countries trying to sell you their Shopify services. These scammers then get your social media, phone numbers, email etc and pursue that way too. And it's a lot of hard work to spend most of your day blocking messages, there should be an easy way to filter these out some how, until this gets fixed. Once this issue is fixed, I will re-install the app.
Hi, there. We appreciate you reaching out and sharing your experience. I can definitely understand manually blocking is time-consuming and an issue for your business. Earlier last month, our development team enabled hCaptcha to Shopify Inbox to help reduce spam and blocking conversations one by one. If you'd like, you can give the app another try to test out this new feature. We hope this helps! - Victoria, Shopify Support.

Logs you out whenever you travel overseas (so don't forget your password) - the absolute rubbish we've come to expect from the utterly useless development team at Shopify. Update: since contacting support regarding the issues I have with this app, I have been inundated by spam conversations offering marketing services (none received in the 12 months prior, at least 30 spam conversations received since). Coincidence? I wonder!
Hi, there. I understand that it must be frustrating to login again when you're in a new location, and I appreciate you sharing your feedback here. I'll be sure to let our developers know about what you've been experiencing. Thank you! -Sophia, Shopify Support
