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

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

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

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.

Edited: I wish the 'Instant Answers' had rich html so we could add Bold, Italic, and URL's into those answers to direct customers with more clear messaging. App is working great and love that it is free.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing this feedback. If the customer enters their email (using the online store chat) and an account is created without a password, then they can create a password by resetting their password directly on the customer accounts page. That being said, depending on the type of customer accounts that you're using, you may also be able to send a password reset (https://bit.ly/3ZOTOgP) to your customers. If you need more assistance on this topic, then please get in touch with us via the Shopify Help Center (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA). Cheers. -Elias, Shopify Support

I have had this app installed about a month and so far it works good. Notifies me when a customer sends a message and hasn't crashed. So far I have been very happy with it.

It's a great app when you're using the desktop version within the store, but 1 star gets knocked off for the mobile version. Mobile is sloooow and buggy and long conversations with a customer make the app almost unusable.

Its has the right features and good integration that you need with any chat client. The only place its lacking is the customization of the look and placement on the website which should be granular otherwise its egoistic when you expend to dominate a single spot on the website which is prime for a lot of services.

Great app runs smoothly and hopefully, additional features will be developed. Cant go wrong with a shopify developed app.

This app really helps with customer service however there are a few glitches. In the open category for messages there should be a blue indicator if i still have new unopened messages there. Also a button that could reorder the messages so we can go through the ones on the weekends first. Every time we would scroll to a message for example on a Saturday when our offices are closed and reply to it, it will reset the whole inbox and I'd have to scroll all the way to the bottom again. Also an autocomplete for quick message replies like instagram has would also be kinda cool. Or the option to toggle that feature. These are just a few UI adjustments that i think could make this Shopify Inbox Feature even more spectacular.
Hey, there. Thanks so much for taking the time and sharing these suggestions. We'd be happy to pass your feedback on having unread message indicators and the ability to sort messages to our development team. That being said, you can set up quick replies for the online chat, and we've got a step-by-step guide on that right over here: https://bit.ly/3Xchqe1. Cheers! -Elias, Shopify Support

The app is great. A function to send the chat to your email for records would be great to have.
Hey, there. Thank you so much for taking the time and sharing this feedback with us. We greatly appreciate the suggestions on developing a search function and the ability to send or forward chats to email, and we'd be happy to pass them along to our development team for future considerations. Thanks again! -Elias, Shopify Support

Great app that allows us to provide instant customer service to our clients. The integration with Shopify and the ability to see where the customers are coming from (web page) as well as whether or not they placed an order is great. One feature that we would love to see is the ability to see the customer's cart and potentially edit it before the customer placed an order.

Allows for more efficient communication with customers on various platforms. Convenient to have everything in one place.

GREAT APP, but could get 5-STARS if was possible to switch between different stores or have a sort of hub with all the stores enabled with Inbox! Look at the forum as there are MANY request for this feature!
Hey, there. Thanks for leaving a review for Inbox! We're so happy to hear that you've been loving the app! We appreciate the fact that you took time to leave us some constructive feedback to help improve Inbox. I've gone ahead and passed your feedback off to the Team so they can consider adding this functionality in the future. I can't comment on what may come from passing along this feedback, but the team will definitely know about your suggestion. Thanks again! -Imogen, Shopify Support

I use this app to communicate with customers and solve many problems of customers. It would be better if the app could add a tab bar to the filter.

It's a great point of contact BUT it would be AMAZINGLY HELPFUL if there was a SEARCH feature so we can easily search for chats via customer name and keywords.
Hey, there! Thank you so much for your review, and for your feedback. It's suggestions like this that help us continue to create fantastic products, and support our existing ones. I'm happy to take your suggestion here to our Inbox Team, so they can consider building it for a future update. I can't suggest what may come as a result of your feedback, but you can trust that the team is aware of your idea. Thanks again! -Imogen, Shopify Support

Works great. It would be nice if there was a search function to easily search through existing and old messages.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing this feedback with us! We're delighted to hear that our app is working great and we understand that you'd like to see a search functionality for older messages. We'd be happy to share this suggestion with our development team for future considerations. Cheers! -Elias, Shopify Support

[ Update: Rating this app from 3 to 4 stars. The Shopify Inbox team actually listened to my feedback, enabled customers to upload images, and fixed the integration page on their app. Thanks for that. However, I discovered a few more issues: 1. I integrated Shopify Inbox with Instagram, and when a customer chats from Instagram, it doesn’t show the customer’s name or username but instead shows, "Shop Visitor xxx." So we would need to go back to Instagram to check on the customer’s name or username, which is a hassle. It would be fantastic if you could display the customer's name or username, similar to how Facebook Messenger does. 2. I like the fact that this chat is visible on the checkout page as a button under the Total line, and when the chat button is clicked, the chat box is opened, but the color no longer corresponds to the theme’s chosen color. It appears to be black. It would also be great if this was fixed to correspond to the chosen color. ] __ [ Switched from tawkto for ease of sharing products directly from the chat itself and so that customers could track their orders directly from the chat. However, it would be better if customers are able to share images instead of having it sent through other means especially if they receive wrong or damaged goods or if they’re having issues on the website where they would need to share screenshots etc. Not having this feature would create additional hassle to the customer to email or WhatsApp us the issue. Also, there is a bug when the customer gets disconnected while chatting and when the customer resumes the chat, Shopify Inbox still marks them as ‘Customer is offline. Your reply will be emailed.’ Another bug is that the integrations are not working. The integrations page is just blank when clicked. Nothing happens. Will update this review if the customer upload image feature is introduced and if the bugs are fixed. ]
Thank you for taking the time and sharing this review. We understand that you'd like to see further improvements for Shopify Inbox, such as being able to share screenshots or images and to resume the chat when customers reconnect, and we also appreciate you for letting us know that the integration page isn't working properly. We will be happy to share your feedback and suggestions with our development team. Cheers! -Elias, Shopify Support

A quick way for customers to contact us and ask questions about the availability of products or about products we sell. Had some recent problems with Nigerian cons sending me multiple chat requests to my inbox. I blocked them on my end, but wonder if there is more that Shopify can do to stop these scam artists.
