Customers can't send pictures to us, I don't know when this function will be added, it's too inconvenient
Thank you for writing your review and for taking the time to share your feedback with us here. I can see why this would be beneficial and I will be sure to pass your comments onto our development team. -Victor, Shopify Support

I've received five messages to date. To my knowledge the app is working. I need more time to give a better review.

So sosish app. On the plus side it's easy to use and integrate with Shopify. On the other hand, desktop version is pretty crappy (crashes frequently) and does not have basic things like a search function.

Email Notification settings for new chats and new messages for existing chats are very limited. It is easy to miss a new chat or new message from a customer. There are Push notifications available if the iOS/Android app is installed, and there are Desktop notifications you can enable for Chrome, but what this app really needs is an actual Settings feature for Notifications.

Well made application however cannot be useful in a multi-account setting... Really unfortunate because if you manage several sites from your mobile you have to disconnect and reconnect, too long at the risk of losing the discussion.
Hey, there. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for us on Shopify Inbox! We take all feedback regarding our products with the highest of importance, and greatly appreciate you taking the time to request a way for Inbox to integrate with multiple stores at once. I've gone ahead and passed this information to our Product Team so they can look into adding it in a future update. Thanks agai for your review! -Imogen, Shopify Support

Bonne application en générale. Nous avons plusieurs sites de commerce et malheureusement l'application ne permet pas d'être authentifié sur deux sites en même temps. De plus, ça ne rassemble pas tous les messages des différents canaux. Fonctionne bien malgré tout, work in progress et pour le prix, on ne peut pas se plaindre.

Esta muy bien para cuando los clientes te chatean, pero deberías poder tu abrir a los clientes para decirles cualquier cosa respecto a sus pedidos y no tener que enviar un email cuando por email todo es más lento. Por lo demás es bien

L'app ha naturalmente la potenzialità solo per il fatto che è nativa. Ciò che manca però di importante: la possibilità di poter gestire piu store, switchando da un'account all'altro, ricevere i messaggi anche via mail per poter rispondere anche dalle email, e soprattutto la possibilità di cercare tra i messaggi (se ne hai per esempio anche solo 1000 diventa impossibile risalire). Le notifiche non hanno sempre un feedback push, la latenza è un problema per un'assistenza live.

It is a lot better than when the app first came out but it's annoying that you still cant switch between stores without completely logging out.
Hey there, Freckled Sage. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review for Shopify Inbox. Your complaint about having to logout entirely to switch between stores is one that we have absolutely heard of before. I'm happy to let you know that I will be taking this feedback to our Product Development team, so they can look into adding some sort of switching functionality in the future. Though I can't comment on a timeline, you can rest assured that your feedback has been delivered. -Imogen, Shopify Support

The chatbox is great to have only if we can respond in time. The notifications are quite late. This needs to be improved.
Hi there, ICKREATE. Thanks so much for taking the time to a leave a review for Inbox. This delay issue you're seeing with notifications is something our team is aware of, and is actively working on resolving. If you could, it would be great if you reached out to us via this email address: [email protected], so we can collect some data regarding the device you're using where notifications are slow. This information would help the team in resolving this issue. Thank you. -Imogen, Shopify Support

The app is okay. If you are a small team its great. If you have more staff this app does not have enough user controls or logs to support an actual team as of yet. The app will send out notifications to ALL staff members on your store no matter what. You as the master user / owner have no control to limit notifications, which means any user on your store (no matter permissions set) will get a notification about a chat. Also there are no logs of these emails being sent to staff members. I talked with Shopify support and they told me that each user would need to click an opt-out at the bottom of the first notification they receive, but since (as the master user) I would have no log of this happening it would create a bit of a security flaw. Until proper user permissions, that are controlled by the master user are set in place I will not be able to use this app. I really hope this is updated because this app has a lot of promise. Other chat apps currently have more robust options and permission settings and I would recommend using them until updates.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing such a detailed review! We appreciate the feedback and we can see why having more robust options, permission settings, and logs is important to you - we'd be more than happy to pass these suggestions along to our development team. Thanks again! -Elias, Shopify Support

I like the app the only thing that made me give it three stars is everytime i log in it state we were unable to authenticate you you must confirm your account before logging in. So fustrating.
Hey, there. Thanks for reaching out about this; I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble logging into the app. There are a number of reasons that you may be receiving this error - I'd recommend double checking that both your app and your device are on their most recent update, and that you're logging in using the same credentials that you use to access your Shopify Admin. If all of this is correct, please contact our live Support team who can look into this further for you: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. Cheers! - Brie, Shopify Support

notification tone should be something I mostly missed my online customers. and customers coming back again with different chats it should be one tab only for a single customer. by mistakingly i replied twice to many customers. Everytime i have to login for online chats
Thank you for sharing your experiences with the Shopify Inbox app here and for providing us with your feedback on how we can improve the app moving forward. We appreciate your suggestions and I'll be sure to pass your comments on to our development team. -Victor, Shopify Support

The app is light, manageable on different devices, but most of the time it has hiccups or it doesn't work at all. Pity: it could be a real asset!
Thanks so much for this review. Can you tell me more about these "hic-cups"? If this is ongoing, I would advise reaching out to our live support so they can troubleshoot this for you. -Ivy, Shopify Support

I want to like it, but it definitely has some annoying shortfalls. My biggest wish is that in addition to the away message, it'd be nice to just disable the chat altogether and hide it from the website on a schedule. I do this manually sometimes so I'm not getting pinged on my off days, but somehow customers are still able to send messages. Then the app keeps bugging me that "A customer is awaiting a response" and "Make sure you respond to the customer before they get away!" even though I have an away message set with details of how to reach us when the chat window is supposed to be "closed." We only have one person (me) handling online customer support, and I don't want to always be "On" and "Available." I like how well it integrates with Shopify since it is a native app, and the inbox page and app work well. I like how quick and easy it is to solve problems and answer questions when a customer reaches out. I like how they changed the way responses work when sending a message after the customer left the site. Email is much less disruptive and expected vs getting a response with no context from a random phone number because phone numbers used to be required. Please keep working on the app and making it better, but I'm probably disabling it again after the holidays and the holiday returns season is over.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing this feedback with us. We can see how having the ability to schedule the chat availability and being able to disable some of the notifications can be beneficial. We'd be happy to share this with our development team, so we can continue to make our app better. Cheers! -Elias, Shopify Support

It is a very simple and nice app. But why can I not remove this "Can I get an update on my order status?" Thats a standard question and everyone can see the standard question. The app is not very useful with this question. I can see that many are asking about this.

Hey, there. Thank you for taking the time and writing this review. While the "Can I get an update on my order status?" is always there for the customers, it doesn't count towards the 4 active FAQs. Nevertheless, we can see how this question isn't very useful for some stores, and we'd be happy to pass this feedback to our teams. Cheers! -Elias, Shopify Support

I like it but it could be so much better. Here are some ideas that I think should be implemented. ~Custom product listing straight from the message ~Be able to copy and paste snapshots straight to message without having to save and upload a "photo" ~the ability to save frequently used saved replies. It would be nice if we could have 20+ options. ~If the customer has purchased from me before, it would be nice to have all the previous sales and message information on the side of the page. Can you tell that I came from Etsy? lol
Hi there. Thank you so much for your great review and for providing us with this feedback. We do offer the option to save replies, you can configure your saved replies in the Inbox admin. There should not be a limit on the number of saved replies you can have. You can also reply with your "Quick Replies" at ShopifyInbox.com (https://bit.ly/30x02Z4) or through the mobile app. As for your other suggestions, these are great ideas and I have gone ahead and submitted them to our developers for future consideration. Thanks again! Marty, Shopify Support.

I installed this app as I thought it would be great to talk to my customers in real time. However when it pings at me by the time the app opens the conversation the visitor has usually left the store. Its too slow to load the conversation. Very disappointed.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us here and I can appreciate the frustration with these delayed notifications. I will pass your comments onto our development team who work with the Shopify Inbox app, to see if this is something that can be looked into and worked on as the app develops over time. -Victor, Shopify Support

It's a good app, my visitors use it a lot. However: - The size should be customizable. It looks very big on mobile. - There should be an option to add it to the menu instead of having an intrusive bubble on the screen. If that is fixed, it's a 5/5
Aug. 14, 2021
We should be able to archive the conversation once its done. Also Once it is read you cannot change it to unread. I get hundred of messages everyday and It is hard to keep track
