A great app, especially as it's free. It's missing just one thing that would make it on par with many of the chat systems that charge $$$ Add email piping. So sending an email to a specific email address creates a conversation. This would make this premium, easily.

It seems to be working fine, which is strange considering it is a Shopify-made app. By the way, there is a bug with the official Bundles created using the new official app. In fact, bundles are always showed as not in stock in the chat on buyer side (of course they are not). They appear in stock from admin side, even in Inbox, but not on the chat. That's strange and must be solved asap

Is there a way to have it optional providing the name and email address to continue the chat? It might discourage people from starting a chat at all if they want to ask just a quick question.

Hi, thank you for your review. For context, the reason behind the email address requirement prior to chatting is to allow merchants to follow up with customers in case they leave the chat or store. I can totally understand your perspective however, so I'll be sure to pass along your thoughts to our internal development team. Thanks again! -Kimi, Shopify Support

For a free app it works fine. If basic message templates were added for instant answers that would save us a lot of time. Other apps have them. Easy, peasy.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave your review here with us. I'm sorry to hear that you've had a negative experience with our live support team. If you're looking to allow your Staff members to access specific features of Inbox, you'll need to set them up with the correct permissions: https://shopify.link/05Qk on their Staff account, as detailed below. - To reply to customer messages: ‘Customers’ permissions - To send product pages in chats: ‘Products’ permissions - To send discount codes in chats: ‘Discounts’ permissions - To send draft orders in chats: ‘Draft Orders’ permissions If you still need further help however, I encourage you to contact our live support team once more: https://shopify.link/qLKl, so that we can have another try at assisting you. Thanks! -Kimi, Shopify Support

It's great but I need to be able to delete a sent message. Or alter it. Then it will be 5 stars. Cheers

El servicio de shopify inbox es bueno pero estaría mejor que fue in-app y no otra ventana. Esa función haría que la mensajería sería más rápida y eficiente.

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

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

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.

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
