Good app but loads and alerts me of messages very slowly. Many times customers have left before I am able to reply to them. Is there a way to speed it up?

We recommend that you reach out to our Live Team (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) so they can look into the situation for you, and advise you on some troubleshooting steps. -Imogen

Shopify inbox is great with seamless integration with Facebook Messenger and Instagram Direct Message, however, customers are not able to send images from the website live chat, which is something essential for customers to be able to send images. Extra options and flexibility shall come to Instant answers, like Check Orders, Edit Orders, Edit Shipping Address. Track my order also needs some flexibility to be able to change the link from Thank You page to Order Tracking page, which it is the information customers usually looking for. We hope to have Inbox with some great updates very soon. Abdelaal
Hey, there. Thanks so much for taking the time and sharing this feedback with us!

Your feedback provides some great features that can help improve Shopify Inbox in future releases. Thanks again! -Elias, Shopify Support

Customer states: Your web chat window (at least on my system) can't be resized or relocated and it blocks much of the page... I will need to close it in order to see if I can now add that product to my cart.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing this feedback with us. If the customer is using a tablet or phone, then the chat widget could be blocking their cart. However, since the chat can resume the conversation, they can close the chat to complete actions in the store. On the other hand, if the chat is blocking the product or cart page on the desktop, then you can also adjust the position of the chat widget through the Appearance settings (https://bit.ly/3pFKhsn) on Shopify Inbox. If you need help with this, then we'd be happy to further assist you through live chat, email, or callback. Simply visit the Shopify Help Center (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) and log into your account to create a support request. Cheers. -Elias, Shopify Support

We are not able to get ringing notification on phone when a custer is jumping on the chat to solve the concerns.
Hey, there. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review for Shopify Inbox. If you're having issues with getting notifications from Inbox, this is likely due to the app not having the permissions needed to send notifications. Please, access the 'settings' area of your mobile device and then look for 'notifications.' From there, find the Inbox app and select it. There should be a toggle in there for you to turn on notifications for the app. If you've turned them on and still don't receive the notifications, please reach out to our Live Team (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) for some additional support. - Imogen, Shopify Support

The app is good and functions - but the customization is severely lacking. Our shop is all digital goods so we don't have tracking numbers or order tracking, however there is no option to remove "Track My Order" instant answer. You also can't customize simple text fields that should be customizable. Fix those, and the app will be great.
Thank you for taking the time to write your review and for letting us know how you think Shopify Inbox can be improved. I am glad to hear that you've found it to be useful but I can certainly see why having more customization options would be beneficial for you and your business. We appreciate feedback from merchants on how we can improve our platform and our apps, as this helps inform our decisions when changes are made. I will be sure to pass your comments onto our development team. Thanks again for reaching out. -Victor, Shopify Support

As a free App it is definitely a handy chat feature. I would like more customisable features. E.G When you're using a mobile device and browsing on the website the "Chat with us" Box is way too big and crowds the screen. Also you need the option to close the box as it gets annoying / in the way, in particular on the mobile. I have spoken to Shopify and they said they're working on these upgrades. If Shopify can apply some edits and changes then my rating would improve.

Shopify Inbox is finally getting enough functionality to begin being useful for many merchants. Here's how to get to five stars, Shopify: -Customers need to be able to attach images in chat -Team members should be able to have internal discussions about a chat that the customer can't see. Our current workaround is to communicate outside of Inbox to discuss issues in Inbox -Add the ability to turn off 'add to cart' and 'buy now' when inserting Products in chat. We want people to see our subscription options and 'add to cart' and 'buy now' allows the customer to bypass the product view and miss those options -I dream of Shopify offering a customer Knowledge Base feature for merchants with a nice standardized theme. In addition to having this knowledge base available from store menus, customers can search this knowledge base within the chat client, saving support agents a lot of time. Intercom does this really well -Chat conversations can be synced to CRM software like Hubspot -Customers can see the agent's name (or handle) in chats as opposed to the chat always being from "Company Name" -Agents can upload a profile photo -Collision avoidance so multiple agents don't accidentally respond to the same chat at the same time. This could be as simple as allowing agents to see when other agents are typing on a chat -Agents can set their availability to away which will pause audible notifications -Browser notifications should not show each message from a customer and another agent to all agents. With multiple ongoing conversations, this gets very loud and when an agent is helping a customer, the other agents do not need to see every message sent in those chats -Just because someone enters their email address on Chat, it doesn't make them a Customer. We define a customer as someone who has made a purchase, so it would be nice to have a separate bucket for these contacts instead of adding them all to the customers list in Shopify. Alternatively, if Customers in Shopify were renamed Contacts, this may make more sense
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review and to lay out all of your suggestions here. It's greatly appreciated and I can see why all of the recommendations you have made would help make Shopify Inbox an even more useful tool for you and your business. Merchant feedback plays a big part in how our development team decides how to improve our platform, and this is especially true of our apps and Shopify Inbox in particular. I will be sure to pass all of your suggestions onto our team for their consideration. Thanks again for getting in touch. -Victor, Shopify Support

I am getting used to it. It takes a little time to fully understand the potential. The app is good. The instructions and video could be much better.

The app is okay. But we need to be able to customize it more. Because I want to add a button on the product page instead of being always active on the website. We need a bit more functions like z index and custom placement possibilities.
We appreciate you taking the time to write your review and we thank you for providing us with feedback on how Shopify Inbox could be improved for the benefit of your business. I know that having more control over customization is a popular request we have received from merchants and this is something we may allow for in future updates. I will submit your comments to our development team and I hope in future this is something we can do to help improve the app experience for you and your customers. -Victor, Shopify Support

Meh. Not seamless. To many screens before I get to inbox. I don't like frames. Would like to be able to resize frames to my liking.
Thank you for taking the time to write your review and for providing us with feedback on how Shopify Inbox can be improved. I can certainly see the benefits of having more control over frame sizes and I will be sure to pass your comments onto our development team. -Victor, Shopify Support

Before I can open "in box" on home page, now I have to go to App and Sales channel to open it. It is more steps

Decent. I don't understand why we can only set one set of hours per day in the settings. We're not allowed lunch times? Right now I can only say open from and then closed. It would be a lot more useful if I can send a different message (away message) for our lunch time.
Thank you for writing your review and for sharing your feedback with us here. It is possible to set an away message within Inbox, and when you set it to active the message will automatically send to customers. You can therefore just toggle the message to be active whenever you take lunch or step away for a period. You can read more on how to do this here: https://bit.ly/3IjTi2E. -Victor, Shopify Support

no support for language translation. what a fluke. other than that quite good no workflow on top of a default FAQ.
Hello. Thank you so much for writing to us and sharing your experience. It is very helpful to know how users prefer to work with our app, and I've made sure to pass your feedback along. -Olivia, Shopify Support

Of all the live chats, this one is one of the best. The biggest issue I have with it is the lack of support for people to send emails directly in. If they had this I would definitely use it, however due to the lack of this I still require some other software to manage when people reply to emails that are sent.
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, and I'm glad to hear you are enjoying our app so far. I definitely understand your need for additional email support within the app, and I'd be more than happy to pass this along to our development team for consideration. -Olivia, Shopify Support

The app works well but on mobile devices the chat button covers the checkout button and the customers can not check out as they cant press the button. needs to be disabled at checkout
Thank you for getting in touch and letting us know about this. I believe an update was recently shipped that should fix this issue, so if you're still experiencing it please double check that your app is up-to-date to the latest version. If you app is updated and the issue is still there, please contact our support team directly so we can take a closer look at this. You can reach out here: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. -Victor, Shopify Support

Not really impressed. Seems to slow site down and when I asked for help to change the Chat with us to Chat with me, I got a canned response that didn't address the issue.
Hey, Andrea. Thank you for taking the time and sharing this feedback with us! Though the site speed could be contributed by multiple factors, we'd recommend testing the performance using different devices or networks. If you're still experiencing issues with the performance/speed, then we'd be happy to take a closer look at your account. Please visit the Shopify Help Center (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) and log into your account to create a support request. As for adding a custom greeting message, we've got a step-by-step guide on that right over here: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. If you need further assistance with changing the appearance of Shopify Inbox, don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Cheers! -Elias, Shopify Support
