Shopify Inbox
All reviews
This app is broken since they added AI to the app. It won't even display properly on the website now. It used to be very useful and allowed us to communicate with customers easily. You ruined it.
It used to be perfect then they changed it to force log in for the customer and two factor authenticator which adds far too much resistance for the customer. You can turn it off but that now means you cant see any details relating to the customer and cant email them. It went from a perfect app to now being a bit useless. Im looking for replacements
After the Shopify Inbox update, it has become much less user-friendly. Customers are now required to create an account before they can ask a question, which adds unnecessary friction and has significantly reduced our conversion rate. In addition, the new version no longer links customers' previous orders to the chat, making it much more difficult for our customer service team to quickly look up order history and provide efficient support. Would it be possible to restore the previous version of Shopify Inbox? Ideally, we'd like to keep the original user experience while simply adding the new AI chat functionality, rather than replacing the existing workflow.
The recent redesign of Shopify Inbox has made what was once a simple and efficient customer support tool much harder to use. As a merchant handling a high volume of customer enquiries, the new interface requires more clicks, is slower to navigate, and makes it more difficult to quickly scan conversations. Finding previous messages and managing multiple chats is less intuitive than before, reducing our team's efficiency. The focus appears to have shifted toward AI features instead of improving the day-to-day workflow for merchants who simply need to respond to customers as quickly as possible. Customer support software should prioritise speed, simplicity, and ease of use. The previous version of Shopify Inbox was faster, cleaner, and far more practical. This update feels like a step backwards and has negatively impacted our customer service experience. Please consider restoring the previous interface or providing merchants with the option to choose between the classic and new layouts.
var vild med denne app indtil den blev opdateret. totalt uprofessionelt setup nu - man kan ikke se hvem man chatter med og træningen med agenten er mangelfuld og man kan ikke få rullet de oprindelige indstillinger tilbage - så fra at den var til 5 stjerner er den nu kun til 0 stjerner - hvis jeg kunne give det! Troede Shopify skulle udvikle apps til det bedre - men det er ikke tilfældet.

Love the app and where is was. The new update has the makings of something great but missing A LOT of things. I will change my review when the updates change. It seems too buggy to be released right now. 1. Need to be able to be notified when someone is chatting with Ai. 2. Need to be able to jump into the conversation when they are speaking with ai. I cant even open the conversation with someone to correct the mistake ai made. 3. If it answers wrong need to be able to correct the ai and also explain what it did wrong. 4. The formatting for instant answers are all wrong now. We were able to have proper spacing and clickable links. Now it is all jumbled with no clickable links. 5. I wish we could have Hyperlinks in our instant answers. 6. WAY TOO BUGGY!
new upgrades and ai features have turn this into a 1 star app. it has become very difficult to serve our clients with the new sign in and ai features. no data of the customer is provided in order for us to assist them
Thank you for the detailed feedback. The new verified sign-in protects you and your customers and connects each chat to the right person. It's also what provides customer details. With Require customer sign-in turned on, you get the name and email needed to assist and follow up. Turning it off allows anonymous chat without that data. On the AI changes, we'd like the specifics so we can help. Please reach us at help.shopify.com/support.
Das neue Update ist leider sehr schlecht. Bitte rückgängig machen.
bitte sofort wieder die funktion einbinden das kunden mit email chat schreiben können so ist das nur müll die app es bringt nur mehr chaos rein BITTE SOFORT EIN UPDATE machen....
As others have expressed, the recent changes requiring sign in or Shop app registration have brought this 5-star app down to 1 star. There's no longer a quick easy form before chatting and now almost none of the chatters on our site use the sign in feature, so there's no way for us to reach back out.
Thanks for your review. Shopify Inbox now collects customer emails through verified sign-in because the old form allowed someone to enter an email they did not own. Turn on Require customer sign-in in Sales channels > Inbox > Chat settings so conversations with staff include a verified email and real customer record. This also helps Inbox connect the conversation to the correct customer for more personalized support. Please contact us at help.shopify.com if turning this on does not solve the issue for your store.
1. The update introducing the so-called AI features is terrible; the AI itself is highly ineffective and frequently gives irrelevant answers, so I’ve disabled it entirely. 2. Since customers no longer need to provide their email addresses, it is impossible to distinguish between new and returning clients, and replies cannot be delivered to their inboxes, resulting in reduced engagement. 3. For customers who don't provide an email, the product SKU is no longer visible, making it unclear exactly which product they are inquiring about. 4. If a customer makes multiple inquiries during a single browsing session, the conversations are split into separate chat windows rather than being consolidated into one. Summary: Recent updates have been increasingly poor compared to the previous version; if things don't improve, we will be forced to purchase third-party chat plugins. One more thing: for aesthetic reasons, the quick FAQ is basically no longer visible. Previously, many questions could be answered by the FAQ.
Thank you for the detailed, specific feedback. One lever that helps right away: turning on "require customer sign-in". This asks buyers to verify their email, which restores your ability to tell new from returning customers, lets your replies reach their inbox, and brings back more customer context. On the split conversations, the FAQ visibility, and the AI answers, we want to confirm the specifics so we can give you an accurate response. Please reach us at help.shopify.com/support.

The newly added feature that forces customers to register with an email address and receive a verification code is really bad.
Thanks for your review. Shopify Inbox now uses verified sign-in for conversations with staff. The old form allowed someone to enter an email they did not own, which was less secure and could let someone ask about another buyer's order information. Verified sign-in protects buyers and merchants and connects the conversation to the correct customer record, which gives staff better context for personalized support. You can turn Require customer sign-in off in Sales channels > Inbox > Chat settings if anonymous chat works better for your store. If you have more questions feel free to reach out at help.shopify.com.
This was a great app before the new changes yesterday and now its been horrible! Have you even tested how terrible it looks on mobile? It covers the whole mobile screen, the floating button ON product page is no longer floating, the customer first name, last name and email is no longer required so we dont know if you are talking to old or new customer as it says new visitor!! You did this so you can enforce people to subscribe on shop app and bring more money to you rather than support the business whom you are already charging permium . You turned a good working app to a disaster app!! We had to uninstall this app and find another one.
Thank you for the detailed feedback. Good news first: the mobile display issue, where the app covered the whole screen, has now been fixed, so please update and take another look. On telling new from returning customers, turning on "require customer sign-in" asks for their name and email, which restores that visibility instead of showing "new visitor." Shopify Inbox now collects customer emails through verified sign-in because the old form allowed someone to enter an email they did not own improving accuracy on the app. The old form allowed someone to enter an email they did not own, which was less secure and could let someone ask about another buyer's order information. Verified sign-in protects customers and merchants. If anything still looks off after updating, the team at help.shopify.com/support is happy to help.
De app werkte perfect. Maar sinds een nieuwe update zie ik geen naam en email meer van klanten omdat ze deze niet meer hoeven achter te laten. Hierdoor worden de chats ook niet meer aan klanten gekoppeld. Bezoekers moeten nu inloggen met een account wat een te hoge drempel is om een bericht te sturen voor bestaande klanten en bezoekers van de site hebben geen account. Daarnaast als we een bericht sturen terwijl de klant uit de chat is kreeg die normaal automatisch een mail. Dat is nu ook niet meer het geval waardoor klantvragen nu onbeantwoord blijven. Ik was tevreden maar met de nieuwe update heeft de app totaal geen meerwaarde meer.
the app is screwing up and not identifying visitors with questions. this is a recent flaw and they push back saying its us who changed - we touched NOTHING!
Unfortunately a complete downgrade since the new update. Customers are not asked for their email so we cant stay in contact anymore. If youre using the login tool people have to verify by 2fa. This was our main sales funnel & is now complete useless.
Shopify Inbox previously required visitors to provide their name and email address (for follow-up purposes) before sending a message; it now allows anonymous chats, though messages cannot be delivered to the customer if they leave the conversation.
