As long as there is chat, the program keeps sending emails, one for each line of conversation. Even if you cancel all notification options in the settings, it will still be the same. Frustrating, no technicians to fix or advise.
Thank you for taking the time and bringing this to our attention. It looks we'll need to take access your account in order to get a closer look at the issue and collect some logs for our development team. Please visit the Shopify Help Center (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) and we'd be happy to assist you through live chats or emails. Cheers. -Elias, Shopify Support

I deleted this app due to spam messages. Shopify's solution to block one spammer at a time is impractical. Shopify support couldn't help.
Hi, there. Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. I can definitely understand how having the ability to block spam converations in bulk would be helpful. We're always trying to improve our features, and I'm happy to pass your feedback on to the development team. -Erin, Shopify Support

Una app que se encuentra limitada en su personalización. No está la opción para mover el chat mediante código.

Boa tarde, preciso uma solucao para meu problema para que volte a funcionar como funcionava a quase 2 anos sem problemas. Nao quero uma solucao para aplicar em mais de 1200 paginas. Por favor, eu pago caro pela plataforma inclusive voces recebem uma comissao em cada venda, para ter meus problemas solucionados, problemas gerados pela propria plataforma. Estou realmente decepcionado com o meu ultimo atendimento que a resposta para meu problema era adicionar uma linha de codigo em todas minhas paginas que me custaria dias de trabalho por uma falha gerado pela propria SHOPIFY. Numero do meu ticket 51101767

Changed from Tawk.to as this is much better integrated with Shopify obviously. All seems great the biggest problem we have is the notifications. Tawk.to played a loud jingle when messages arrived and the browser icon on the PC would flash. Inbox seems to offer no notifications most of the time and then the odd time a single subtle bing. We have missed a few chats because of this and might be the reason we stop it and go back as it kind of messes us up and makes us look bad.
Hello! Thanks so much for this valuable feedback. Notifications for Inbox do differ depending on device settings and whether or not you are logged in. You can select when and where you receive notifications for customer messages in your Admin and Inbox mobile app. If you'd like to discuss these options in more detail, I encourage you to connect with us via our Help Center by choosing "Contact Support". In the meantime, I'll share this feedback with our developer team who are always interested in opportunities for improvement. Thanks for your input! -June, Shopify Support

Great App, worked really well for us, but disappointed to see Instagram and Facebook Messenger will no longer be supported, having it all in one place is the main draw of this
Hi, there! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. I can definitely understand why having everything in one place has been helpful. I'll definitely pass this feedback on to our developer team. In the meantime, I wanted to let you know that you can continue replying to Facebook & Instagram Messenger messages through Meta Business Suite. You can learn more about this in their help documentation here: https://bit.ly/3LataZI. -Erin, Shopify Support

Removing Facebook messenger and Apple business chat takes all the appeal out of this app. Terrible move from Shopify.we will be looking for an alternative and will exploring the possibility of taking our business to another e-commerce platform.
Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we truly appreciate it. We 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 to consider in future updates. - Blair, Shopify Support

I really do not understand why so many negative reviews of this excellent chat support app from Shopify. This really an excellent free add-on for any store owners to increase the sales.

Annoying. Every time there is a message it emails ALL admin personel. Sure you can turn it off for everyone but you can't pick who gets the messages. So all or nothing. Chat support has yet to get back to me. Frank
Hi, there. Thank you so much for your valuable feedback! I do want to clarify that each staff member can adjust their own notifications for Shopify Inbox. Simply login and head to Inbox > Notifications and adjust as needed! - Skye, Shopify Support

Easy app to install and navigate. 2 major issues: You get a copy of every chat message on mail - meaning, suddely you will have 20-30 mails which just is a notification mail. Impossible to turn off. I did try with the help from support. 2nd - the number of scammers has increased over the past 4-5 weeks. all from Nigeria.
Hi, there. That is fantastic feedback. I'll be providing this on your behalf to our developers. As a workaround, you can adjust your settings to only receive push notifications to your desktop and mobile if you prefer, for the time being. Thanks again! - Skye, Shopify Support

Hi, I find the Inbox App generally pretty good. The main issue I get is that as I access the Inbox from various devices sometimes the sync between them all doesn't seem to be consistent. Also I find that messages remain unread and flagged as such on the App icon, even after they have been read. This seems to relate to the sync issue. Besides that it is a handy business tool and I would recommend people to try it.
Thank you for your feedback. It is greatly appreciated! I will provide these concerns to our developers on your behalf. - Skye, Shopify Support

It blocks the whole page and does not let the visitor exit. If they reload the page, it loads back up. This is a horrible experience. got told by support to change the colour and icon when this is not the issue, (tried anyway)
Hi, there. Thank you for providing this feedback. It sounds like there could be a technical issue occurring here. We recommend testing this is out on a freshly downloaded version of your theme. If it doesn't occur in this theme, it is a theme error in your live theme. Please reach out to our live support for more assistance!

Update: This app has really increased our store's response times to customers as well as helped increase sales conversion. Just 1 simple quick response has led to some great sales. Thanks Shopify! Sorry that it took me so long to switch to Shopify Inbox from my old chat provider. The features are very valuable and the customer information really helps you tailor the customer's experience. One of the best apps that I've used on Shopify. Thanks for building this app.

I've seen a HUGE reduction in the number of customer chats since installing this app. It's because Shopify inbox FORCES the customer to enter their name and email address. This will turn off the majority of browsing customers who may just need a little advice to convert. VERY disappointing.
Thanks for taking the time to leave your review, and for sharing your experience with us. For context, the system prompts visitors to enter their email address to allow merchants to follow up and continue any further communications, even after the visitor leaves the store. I can completely understand how beneficial it would be to disable this feature however, as I'm aware that it'll allow merchants to quickly address their visitor's concerns. I'll submit the feedback that you've shared here with us to the relevant development team. Thanks again for leaving your review. -Kimi, Shopify Support

I recently tried using Shopify Inbox, but unfortunately, my experience with the app was terrible. The app has potential to be useful for managing customer messages, but the frequent spam messages from Nigeria made it nearly impossible to use effectively. I reached out to tech support multiple times for a resolution, but was disappointed to learn that there was no solution available. The only options I was given were to uninstall the app, block the spam messages, or go to another website that's not on Shopify. In addition to the spam messages, I also noticed that the app significantly slowed down my website, which further impacted my customer experience. Overall, I cannot recommend using Shopify Inbox due to these issues. Until these problems are addressed, I would advise anyone to steer clear of this app.
Hi, there. Thanks for leaving us a review for Shopify Inbox. We appreciate that you took the time to provide us with some feedback. At this time, there is no way to block folk from sending you a message, but you can block a user once they've contacted you by clicking the ! in the top right corner. This will prevent this person from reaching out to you any further. While not a complete solution, we hope you take advantage of this feature. I'm happy to share your feedback regarding a better method to prevent this sort of spam with the Team. -Imogen, Shopify Support

Very smooth and nice chat. It shows a lot of information about the message sender on the right hand side, which is amazing. This includes whether the customer has products in their cart. Awesome! I love it!

Good free chat. The only problem is that it doesn't support multilanguage translation. We have to choose a main language to display for all customers. Bad for international ecommerce.
Hi there, VAPEVO. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review for Shopify Inbox. We appreciate you leaving us some feedback to help us improve Inbox! I've gone ahead and passed your feedback along to the team for their consideration. I can't say what the outcome of the feedback may be, but you can rest assured that the team has been made aware. Thanks again! -Imogen, Shopify Support
