This app does not support image. you won not able to see on your mobile. it's completely disappointed.
Thank you for getting in touch and for writing your review. The Shopify Inbox app allows you to upload and share images with your customers via your mobile device; I just tested this myself in my iPhone and was able to share an image successfully. I would recommend referring to our documentation on setting up the app (https://bit.ly/3Dapxxx), and if you're still having issues, you can contact our support team directly who'd be happy to assist you with this image load problem you're seeing on your mobile phone: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. -Victor, Shopify Support
*Extremely stressful experience. Can’t access any messages although I see them there waiting to be read. The app keeps disappearing and giving me the opportunity to download however it still seems uninstalled. Rubbish!
I am sorry to hear that you've had a stressful experience while using the Inbox app and can appreciate the frustration in not having it work as intended. Nevertheless, we appreciate you reaching out and sharing your feedback with us in your review here. If you are being asked to install the app again after having already done so, there may be a caching error with the browser you're using. You can try accessing the app via another browser or a private/ Incognito window to see if it works better there. If not, and if you are still unable to access your messages, I would encourage you to contact our support team directly so you can be authenticated on the store and our team can look into these issues for you: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. -Victor, Shopify Support
I installed this app, invested time in tweaking and testing it, added the phone app to be always responsive. No action on the app for since testing. Now I look at my backend and the app is not even there! What's with that?! I like the idea of what it offered, but it didn't come up with the goods :-(
Why we cannot give negative stars?? Minus 1000 for us, it installed by itself on a perfectly working chat (Ping) and is now asking our customers for their phone number to start a simple chat, we basically lost every contact with our customers, shame on you!
Hi, We would give a 0 star If we could. We never added the app on our store and we just received an email saying that a message is waiting via this app. After login, we realize that the app is available and running. Unable to remove it now. Please could you remove it ASAP. Thanks.
It's currently impossible to delete or mark conversations as inactive from the desktop web based version. You will have to download their mobile app in order to do this. How this was published without such a feature for desktop users is baffling to me. Yes, I understand there is a work around but no one runs their full time business from their phone only. And no one who manages a large amount of customer support does it from their phone either.
The only good thing about this is the order lookup. Otherwise it's very, very basic. Needs a lot of improvement to do things like missed chats, tell customers that you're offline, etc.
was working fine, but now won't stay on my site? seems like an issue as this didn't happen before - doesn't stay in the app store.
Trop ''basique'' . Il n'est pas possible d'automatiser ou de programme d'autres questions que '' je veux connaître le status de ma commande'' ...
Hello Mon Adresse Civique, thank you for your honest feedback. As we work on making an amazing conversational marketing app, your feedback is important to us. Although, the order look-up feature is not customizable, we will be releasing a new update for all Shopify Ping users within the next few weeks that will allow for custom automated responses that will appear along side the order-look up. I hope you'll try this feature out when it does become available as I think this is what you are looking for! If you ever need any help, have questions or even more feedback, feel free to reach out to our team via the support link in the app, or directly at [email protected]. Kind regards, Ruby C. Senior Support Specialist - Ping
UPDATED REVIEW: Moved to 1 star. No progress has been made with this app. It doesn't load half of the time. There is no way to deleted/complete messages or categorize them still after 6 months and a newly updated name. Still no way to switch between stores. If you have multiple stores, you have to log out and log back in. There is no easy way around this. Original Review: 2 Stars We have 2 stores, we are unable to manage both within shopifyping.com There isn't a way to have a set schedule when our customer service staff shows up to work every day. The message management is clunky and you're unable to filter/archive old messages. When this app gets much needed improvements, my review may change.
Hello KIALOA, thank you for the review and feedback! We heard the feedback and want to let you know that our Product team is currently working on a solution to manage more than one store using Shopify Ping. I do not have an estimated release date, but this is something to look forward too! As for message management, we will be releasing the ability to filter/assign/archive messages on both android and web version of Ping by Spring 2021. And assigning chats on a set schedule; that is something I will take our Product team for consideration - this is valuable feedback! If you ever need any assistance with the app, or have further feedback and suggestions, feel free to contact our team directly at [email protected] Thanks again! Ruby C. Senior Support Specialist - Ping
The app doesn't work on my phone. it keeps signing me out and I miss messages. Not very useful if it doesnt work half the time.
Hello Good Vibes All Purpose Cleaner, thank you very much for your direct and honest review. Please accept our apologies for the troubles you have been encountering. I will be sending you a private email to help with troubleshooting the problems. Please keep an eye on your inbox and hopefully we can work together to solve this! Thank you! Best regards, Veronica N. Senior Support Specialist - Ping
My biggest problem with this app is that you cannot turn it off after hours. You will have customers messaging you at all hours of the night. Only a small percentage of chat customers convert. Due to the high volume of messages I have been receiving 24 hours a day, I decided to remove the chat from my website. However, when I removed the app properly, the Chat icon did not disappear from the front of my website. I contacted Shopify (because it is their app) and they tried to pawn me off on my Theme developers. Now I have customers trying to use a chat that does not work, resulting in ugly emails. Follow up 11/11/20: This Chat icon is still on my site. Shopify support keeps telling me they removed it, but the icon is still there (only it does not work). We have cleared our cache repeatedly from several different computers, and icon is present. This is the worst customer service.
Hello Willow Lane Hat Co., thank you very much for your honest feedback and review. Sorry you did not have a great experience with Shopify support. I see your issue was escalated to our technical support team and it looks like they have successfully removed the icon. Thank you for your patience while they looked into the reason it did not remove automatically. Your feedback is very helpful and we will be integrating more options soon, that will address exactly what you are referring to. Thank you for trying the app! Best regards, Veronica N. Senior Support Specialist - Ping
Super simple app that gets the job of live communication done. However it does not offer any scheduling options so you need to be available 24/7 and it has an non remove-able message about leaving your phone number for a text message reply. I don't want customers having my personal cell number so un-installing this app.
Hello Five and Diamond, thank you for your review and feedback! I can address these concerns for you, as they are understandable. The ability to set hours is available only on IOS at this time, but is coming for Android soon. I agree, it's not easy being available 24/7! Your personal cell phone number will not be shown. If the buyer leaves a phone number, you can reply directly from within Shopify Ping. The buyer will be sent a text message to the number they left from a randomized phone number that Shopify Chat provides - not your own cell phone number. The buyer can stop receiving messages by texting "stop" or by deleting the conversation. We would love to see you re-installing the app if this information helps. Just keep it updated and you can benefit from scheduling hours when that feature is released. Feel free to contact us if you have further questions. Our email is [email protected]. Thanks again and hope to see you back! Warm regards, Veronica N. Ping Support
I have to uninstall it and install it over and over again every time I want to open it to reply to a customer. Till I do all that, a customer is gone.
Hello Ploocy, thank you for your feedback! Our apologies for the issues having to install repeatedly. We have a fix now for the recent bugs in the app, please update to version 1.1.9 so you have the latest fixes. I'll get in touch soon to see how it's going and if you have any further feedback. Thanks for trying Shopify chat! Best regards Veronica N.
App does not open on my android phone, clients as asking questions and I am losing sales thanks to this very bad app. Much better pay for something else.
Hello Kyoui, thank you very much for letting us know you were having issues and please accept our apologies. We have fixed many of the recent bugs on the phone app for Android, if you wish to try again, we would love to have you back! Please re-install and if you have any questions, contact our team directly at [email protected]. *** GOOD NEWS! We have just launched Shopify Ping for desktop! Go to https://shopifyping.com and login with your Shopify credentials, then enjoy the ease of use of replying to your customers from a desktop or laptop. *** Best regards, Veronica N.

Very poorly designed app. Missing alot of key features!! would suggest looking into another messaging app
Hi RealtorShop.ca Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience with Shopify Chat. Our team is constantly adding new features and looking for ways to build on the app. I'm going to reach out to you personally over email to get your thoughts on what you'd like to see improved and I'll be sure to pass that along to our team. :) Take care, Ellis from Ping and Kit Support.
In general the app is not bad. Just the iPhone app to answer the support request forces you to install kit. If you don't want to use it you can not even skip it and it has loads of bugs so sometimes you're just not able to answer the chat messages because the iPhone app has problems (iPhone 11 Pro). I just deleted it.
Hi Necklesse, Thank you for your feedback! Kit is a free tool that is built into Shopify Ping to act as a virtual employee. Since Kit offers a range of free marketing tools such as email marketing, thank you emails, creating posts to Facebook, as well as the ability to create paid marketing campaigns on Instagram and Facebook, we wanted to get it in as many merchants hands as possible. However, there are ways to use Ping without using Kit. I'm going to reach out to you personally over email to continue this conversation. Take care, Ellis from Ping and Kit Support
This app really is badly made. Lots of 'American' phrases in the text that can't be edited (you should at least be able to edit the button text! but you can't). Very poor for a Shopify official app.
Hi Nice Things by Helena, I'm sorry to hear you're not having a good experience with Shopify Chat currently. Shopify Chat's button text will automatically translate to whatever language your Shopify theme is set to. I'm going to reach out to you via email personally to go over the steps on how to translate your theme should you so wish. Take care, Ellis from Ping and Kit Support.
Don't install it. You can't get it off your website, even after deleting it. Plus it comes with the Kit app which is a pain in the butt to get rid of as well.
Hi Michael Steddum, Thank you for your feedback. Shopify Ping can be removed from your store by either disabling the chat button from the Sales Channel directly in your Shopify Admin (found on the left hand navigation menu under ‘Sales Channels’) or by removing the Sales Channel entirely from the Settings > Sales Channel section of the Shopify Admin. If the button still appears on your store after trying either or both of those methods please contact our support team directly at [email protected] and we can work with you to get that sorted out. 😀
Oh no... This has killed my SEO! Google has started crawling my pages with (1) - the notification from this app in the meta title. This looks so unprofessional on Google and has really affected my organic results. You need to fix this ASAP!!!
Hi Protein Package, Thank you for your feedback. Our developers were able to resolve the issue you were seeing, in which the (1) notification appeared before page titles in Google searches. However, Google's site crawlers can take a few weeks between rounds, so it may take some time before the page titles are indexed without the (1). You can speed this process up by asking Google to re-crawl your URLs - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6065812?hl=en Or by resubmitting your sitemap - https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/promoting-marketing/seo/find-site-map If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask.
