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
This app is really easy to use. Many useful features. I really enjoy this app and would recomend it for sure.
Muy practica para conversaciones con los clientes, tiene herramientas para hacerles llegar más fácil los productos a los clientes.
Certainly does the job for a free app. Multiple staff members can respond which is a great feature. The only thing is we get double emails as one goes to the primary shop email and the second for all staff.
Thank you very much for this work, but a lot of things are missing: 1. Search in messages (you may suggest connecting an external database or google sheet) 2. It is extremely important to link the conversation to a specific order. Otherwise, the conversation is lost and will no longer be found 3. Often messages are not sent the first time and you need to resend them again and again
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us to help us better our services and offerings. We will be sure to pass your comments along to our developers for future consideration. As for messages not sending the first time around, that is not expected behavior. Please connect with our Support team (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) directly so we can offer further troubleshooting. -Olivia, Shopify Support
If you haven't added a live chat option this is great... The Inbox app from Shopify is excellent, it features: - Quick replies for pre made replies - Add product links to the chat - Assign chat to staff - You can send photos - There is a dedicated mobile app for ios and andriod. but it's not perfect: here's a list of features I wish it had: - Option for Private chat - Email the chat transcripts - Video calling options Also, on occasions it can be a little slow on the notifications. Also sometimes store collaborators get notified of chats... these issue to one side. I really love the live chat though and so far it has added value to our shopify store.
Hey, there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad you're enjoying Inbox overall and feel that it's beneficial for your business. I can definitely understand how useful it would be to be emailed chat transcripts and to have a video calling option - I'll be sure to share that feedback with our developers. In the meantime, you can view conversation details in each customer's profile. All chats should be private by default, however please feel free to reach out to our support team (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) if I've misunderstood the request. Feel free to reach out to us about any notification issues as well, and our team will be happy to take a look. Thank you! - Brie, Shopify Support
Very good app. It works great it has lot a features like auto replies and questions also product display directly in chat definitely recommend.
It is used very well, which increases the chance of ordering and provides timely service to customers.
Easy to use on the Go cause of the app. But App doesnt allow to switch between more than one stores on the go
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! I'm so glad you find the app easy to use. I can definitely understand how useful it would be to be able to swap between your stores within the app. I'll be sure to pass this feedback on to our development team. Thank you! - Brie, Shopify Support
Reliable & consistent. Limited in 'options' and controls, but it gets the job done and is presentable. Suggestions for future updates: - settings to send only a single notification when a customer starts a conversation. Being flooded with 10+ emails in 2 minutes is a definite turn off from this app! - customization of e-mail reply to customers when they are offline. Current 'default' template is quite unprofessional looking - controls to add/make particular information, such as a phone number, mandatory when starting the conversation.
Hey, there. Thanks so much for taking the time and sharing these suggestions with us. We can see why having too many notifications for the same email can be a put off, and we understand that having a more customizable email template as well as the option to capture phone numbers is important to you - we'd be more than happy to share these suggestions as a feature request with our development team. Cheers! -Elias, Shopify Support
Can't manage how to start a chat without giving all info related client name and email. Many propects are just quit our website because of that Any solution?
Hey, there. Thanks for taking the time and sharing this feedback with us. We understand that some customers may prefer not having to share their info in order to ask a question. However, in the event that there isn't anyone available to reply to customers using the online store chat, the email is required so that their questions can be forwarded to your inbox allowing you can get back to the customers later. That being said, we can see that there are some improvements that could offer a better experience, such as capturing the customers' information only when the online store chat is offline or by making some of the fields optional, and we'd be happy to share this feedback with our development team. Cheers! -Elias, Shopify Support
Excellent, lots of great features built right in and free. What's not to love? We moved away from Tidio and am glad so far.
I love this app! It makes it convenient and easy to respond to my customers in a timely manner. Resulting in sales.
Shopify Inbox ist ein wichtiger Teil unseres Onlineshops weil es uns ermöglicht, direkt mit unseren Kunden zu kommunizieren und sie beraten zu können. Einfach in der Installation und noch einfacher im täglichen Gebrauch.
L'app funziona benissimo, sarebbe utile che si potesse eseguire lo switch da un negozio all'altra per chi come noi hanno più negozi shopify.
