Shopify Inbox
All reviews
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!

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
[ 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.
It's not the most refined but it works. Feels like it needs a facelift now. Convenient though but just a little clunky
I am using this App on my store www.snazzyhunt.com for the real time customer live support. Its really very helpful in store conversion. I recommend it to every shopify store owner to use this Amazing App. Thank you Shopify
I used this app to provide real time customer care. I love when it shows the customer's email and order number that the request pertains to as well as the showing of the customer's current cart items. It will be even better if I can paste screenshots directly in the message box instead of needing to make it a file then attach. Also if I can 'like or love' the customer's message directly as if in the actual chat program, that would be great.
Thanks so much for taking the time and writing this review! We're delighted to hear that our app is helping you with real-time customer care. We'd also be happy to submit your suggestions to our development team regarding the ability to paste screenshots and react to customer messages. Cheers! -Elias, Shopify Support
总体很好,但是有时候新消息不会发邮件通知,希望改进。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Works great to communicate with customers. Only downside is having to sign in all the time if you get notified and don't have the web page or app loaded already. It's not too much hassle but if a customer is waiting live then it will consider you "away" and might end up emailing them by the time you reply.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing this feedback with us! We're delighted to hear that our app is working great for communicating with customers. We also appreciate the feedback on improving the sign-in or response process, and we'd be happy to share them with our development team. Cheers! -Elias, Shopify Support
This app has cut our emails down significantly--only wish they had an emoji option to add when talking to customers.

Only I have a huge problem with the csv, why isn't it possible to download a simple csv, put in the info and upload it back again?
Hey, there. Thanks for taking some time to leave a review for Inbox! Are you having troubles editing and uploading a CSV related to Inbox? Shopify does require certain columns to be included in uploaded CSVs, so it's important to download one of our CSV templates and structures your uploads around that. It's best that you reach out to our Live Team for some assistance using this link: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. They'll be able to authenticate you and help resolve your uploading issue. -Imogen, Shopify Support
I really like the app, but would like it better if you could search for a message instead of going through each one.
Hey, there. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review for Shopify Inbox! We're happy to hear you've been enjoying the app! I agree that having a way to search for conversations would be a helpful addition to Inbox. I've gone ahead and passed your feedback along to the Inbox Team, so the can consider adding such functionality in a future update. I can't promise when that update may be, but you can feel confident in knowing your feedback was seen. Thanks again! -Imogen, Shopify Support
me mantiene informado sobre los mensajes que me llegan de otras redes sociales, aun me encuentro en la etapa de aprendizaje, algunos mensajes lo respondo algo tarde pero se que este es un trabajo continuo.
It works well. Somehow, I still miss some of the notifications. If the notifications kept coming until answered, that would make it near perfect.
Thank you for providing your review and I am glad to hear that Shopify Inbox has worked well for you thus far. Having the notifications repeat if unanswered would indeed be a helpful addition and thank you for sharing this piece of feedback with us; I will be sure to share this with our development team. -Victor, Shopify Support
The app works well and does as it should for an easy online chat app. I wish that you could attach images in the chat to better assist customers, I have to ask them to email me for that. I would also like it if I could send more than one link at a time and have it popup as a preview window. Lastly, there are issues with the shopify inbox on my computer communicating to the shopify inbox app on the cell phone. I will read a message and mark it closed yet I still have the notification on my app and no unread messages in the "open" section. Just a small glitch. Notifications are persistent and not as customizable as they should be. Could be slightly improved and be really wonderful!
Thank you for writing your review and for letting us know how you have enjoyed Shopify Inbox so far, and how you think it could be improved. I am happy to share that in the latest version off the app, customers will now have the ability to send images in their conversations that you can then view in the app. We also appreciate your feedback on the notifications issue which I will pass onto our development team. -Victor, Shopify Support
