Inferior support made it difficult to go forward. I have a strong technical background and went through the setup and integrations fine on my own. I had a few questions that I did not see options for. For example "Is there a timeout period in the chat where the visitor asks the first question and doesnt get a response for a long enough period of time that they will be offered the ability create a ticket and be followed up on. Kate in support told me multiple times that it doesn't exist and you need to set your user as being AWAY which is obvious. But users dont always remember this and professional chat systems usually have a time out period and offer this option to the customer. After many "No, we don't have that" answers and me posing the question multiple different ways (15 minutes), she finally told me "yeah, we have that" and then kept forwarding me to the wrong page. My first day and few incidents like that. It was not worth the trouble and I uninstalled. It was a 15 minute waste to setup and make email and dns changes and 30 minutes of suffering with poor support and frustration and I got nowhere and she would not escalate the question. The company needs to hire more carefully, train more carefully and monitor the support reps. This one may have slipped throught the cracks, but I don't have time to play around. The reason that I did not give a 1 star, is that I believe that the product mihgt be good and offers the right features that I needed. But the app includes the whole package and without support becomes useless. Edited 06-16-25: I am editing this review, because of the company's ignorance in addressing the issues mentioned and trying to publicly deflect or discount their shortcomings. 1. What you are saying that I called a timeout included with a full explanation in the chat is EXACTLY what you are calling a FALLBACK FLOW. If you can not see this, then you too have an issue. 2. The screen shots and url which I showed are EXACTLY the same page yet had different options, perhaps due to a permissions issue or subscription level. 3. Then she asked me for a PUBLIC key, which is not something that we would share. If I have a key that she does not know about, then it is kept secret for a reason. In addition, if you believe what you have said is true, then she had no need to ever ask for a PUBLIC key. The bottom line is that I got inferior support which the company itself hired and trained and is not trying to publicly dilute or discount my review. You surely would have been more successful sending me a personal email and saying something like "We are really sorry about the shortfall that you had with support and we are going to use this information to help improve our support...and once we do, we will let you know and hope that you will consider trying us again". In that case, with that kind of sincerity, I would believe that the company genuinely cares and will take steps to improve and I probably would have removed my review and would possibly try it gain in the future if I didn't find an app that fit the bill in the meantime.
Hi Jeffrey, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your first interaction with our platform wasn’t a positive one. While we respect your perspective, we’d like to clarify a few key points in fairness to our team and especially to Kate, who was mentioned by name. Our platform does not currently offer an automatic timeout mechanism that changes the agent’s status based on inactivity -- that part is managed manually or via set operating hours. However, what we do offer is a fallback flow (Handle Missed Conversations) that can proactively respond to users when no agent joins the chat within a specified timeframe. This solution was presented during the conversation, and Kate not only never denied its existence but also provided step-by-step guidance on how to find it. We’ve also reviewed the conversation and the screenshots shared. The link was reiterated because the screenshot you sent didn’t match the section being discussed, which naturally led to some clarification. At no point did our agent intentionally mislead or withhold help; quite the opposite. She remained calm, consistent, and tried to assist despite increasing tension. Support is a core part of what we offer, and we take feedback seriously, but it’s equally important to set the record straight when a team member is unfairly characterised. We remain committed to providing helpful, accurate, and respectful support to all users. Since you barely got started, we’d be happy to welcome you back if you ever give Tidio another try.

It could be great but it's very buggy and it takes massive resources from your shop, immediately downgrading the LCP and INP shop performance (speed) once you install it and activate it, which will ruin the Google ranking considerably. When you try to integrate it you're met with a white blank screen and have to jump around to try and figure out what's going on. If your email for the store differs from the Shopify email, it appears to be unable to do a recognised integration and installation even if you've installed it, which becomes messy. Support never seem available, and they appear to use their own bots for support which is not helpful. Who has time to wait days one end to get a response when you're working on integrating it? By the time they get back to you (if they ever; I never got a response) you've moved on to something else that works.

Enkel installation, Lyro AI chat är amazing. Lätt hantering av tickets. Bästa supporten. Det är en så bra app för telefon men älskar desktop versionen.
Thanks for the kind words! Tack så mycket Olek - Tidio

Hi, I was helped by Tidio's chatbot very effectively and speedily. I am very greatful for the support! 19-06-25: Now I am not happy any more. One can never chat with a human advisor on Tidio. When encountering a real problem, like a feature that is supposed to work, but isn't, the bot runs quickly out of options and then you are "ticketed" for an email by a real person. I will probably have to wait for days now to get an answer. Email responses are too slow...

I've been using Tidio for my customers for a while now. The AI chatbot works but the company's model is really disapointing. Our website gets thousands of viewers with questions but the model is limited conversations per month. Once the limitation is reached, these questions go into a Live Conversation, which is not met if you don't have the team set up for this. So instead of unanswered questions defaulting to your email for example, you get a waterfall of Live Chat questions in Tidio. *Hopefully* your notifications are turned on for this. Mine were not. So I had a lot of unmet customer questions. What a mess. Of course I am happy to set up unlimited conversations... except there is only a tier of limited conversations set up at a price *starting* at $749 USD/month. This is simply unworkable. What a messy model. I'm moving onto an app that supports growth.

Terrible Customer Support – 30+ Days, No Resolution We have spent over a month trying to resolve a basic WhatsApp‑integration error on Tidio. Despite countless emails, chatbot conversations, and a “Level 2” escalation, our phone number still shows as "pending" and messages never send. - 30+ days, still broken. Every reply repeats the same “disconnect and reconnect” script—nothing changes. - No live technician. All contact is through an automated bot or delayed email; no real person ever jumps on a call or screenshare. - Business impact ignored. Our store relies on WhatsApp to serve customers; Tidio’s inaction has cost us sales and credibility. - Empty promises. Each “we’ll get back to you shortly” stretches into days of silence. If you want a platform whose "only" support is a bot that recycles canned responses, Tidio is perfect. If you value rapid, human‑centered help for mission‑critical features, look elsewhere—I’m canceling and moving back to Meta’s own (free) tools.
Hello, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry about the difficulties you’ve encountered with the WhatsApp integration. Our team has been trying assisting you across multiple support tickets, and the issue has been escalated to our engineering team. We provided specific troubleshooting steps based on their findings, but unfortunately, we did not receive a response to proceed further. We completely understand how important this feature is for your business and will be more than happy to continue working together to resolve the issue if you’re willing to resume the conversation. Please feel free to reply to our last email at any time — we remain ready to assist.

It's a really poor design and user experience. They really just want to upsell you to pay for the premium rate, which is so expensive. It's basically impossible to use without that. I tried, paid, and canceled.
Thank you for the review. Please be rest assured we will do our best to assist you with the case. Our Support has already reached out to you via email. We would appreciate it if you could find the time to reply to us, as we care about your satisfaction with our product. Thank you for your cooperation!
