Shopify Inbox,1,663 reviews

I recently tried using Shopify Inbox, but unfortunately, my experience with the app was terrible. The app has potential to be useful for managing customer messages, but the frequent spam messages from Nigeria made it nearly impossible to use effectively.

I reached out to tech support multiple times for a resolution, but was disappointed to learn that there was no solution available. The only options I was given were to uninstall the app, block the spam messages, or go to another website that's not on Shopify.

In addition to the spam messages, I also noticed that the app significantly slowed down my website, which further impacted my customer experience.

Overall, I cannot recommend using Shopify Inbox due to these issues. Until these problems are addressed, I would advise anyone to steer clear of this app.

A FUTURE FIVE STAR APP WITH ADDED FEATURES

Overall, the integration is great. We shopify business owners really need this, and since all the app developers are gouging us on their monthly fees, I really enjoy the abilities this app offers. However, there are things that are a necessity to add to the app to make it functional to everyone.

1. Add the ability to have multiple stores connected to the inbox so we can see all of our chats in one place.

2.翻译——让人们看到我们写的in their own language, and vice versa.

它的一个伟大的应用程序,但我发现自己寻找其他r solutions that have these features.

Below average rating. This app do not support customer chat without insert their first name last name and email. There is no option to turn off. which is not convenient for them when their just want instant message.

First Reply can not insert link. That means when off hour, customer may not contact us through whatsapp. But its official i believe it works faster than competitor apps.

So much spam from Egypt and Nigera. I choose to render whatsapp as Customer Service.

I recently started using the Shopify Inbox app, and I must say it has been a game-changer for our business. The app has made it incredibly convenient to manage and stay on top of our customer conversations. The intuitive interface and features allow us to respond promptly to inquiries, provide exceptional customer support, and ultimately enhance our overall customer experience. The ability to centralize all communications in one place has saved us time and improved our efficiency. I highly recommend the Shopify Inbox app to any business looking to streamline their customer communication process.

工作好了!终于!从一个非常有用的功能hopify that makes life so much easier. Still needs a create order function while directly messaging customers, and to be able to send a checkout link in the chat to a customer without really leaving the window would be very good. I look forward to more of these updates from Shopify! Thanks!

[ Update: Rating this app from 3 to 4 stars. The Shopify Inbox team actually listened to my feedback, enabled customers to upload images, and fixed the integration page on their app. Thanks for that. However, I discovered a few more issues: 1. I integrated Shopify Inbox with Instagram, and when a customer chats from Instagram, it doesn’t show the customer’s name or username but instead shows, "Shop Visitor xxx." So we would need to go back to Instagram to check on the customer’s name or username, which is a hassle. It would be fantastic if you could display the customer's name or username, similar to how Facebook Messenger does. 2. I like the fact that this chat is visible on the checkout page as a button under the Total line, and when the chat button is clicked, the chat box is opened, but the color no longer corresponds to the theme’s chosen color. It appears to be black. It would also be great if this was fixed to correspond to the chosen color. ] __ [ Switched from tawkto for ease of sharing products directly from the chat itself and so that customers could track their orders directly from the chat. However, it would be better if customers are able to share images instead of having it sent through other means especially if they receive wrong or damaged goods or if they’re having issues on the website where they would need to share screenshots etc. Not having this feature would create additional hassle to the customer to email or WhatsApp us the issue. Also, there is a bug when the customer gets disconnected while chatting and when the customer resumes the chat, Shopify Inbox still marks them as ‘Customer is offline. Your reply will be emailed.’ Another bug is that the integrations are not working. The integrations page is just blank when clicked. Nothing happens. Will update this review if the customer upload image feature is introduced and if the bugs are fixed. ]

PROS: Works, free, no major hiccups and customers do use it. CONS: lack of meaningful design customization (its just a giant bubble that cant be shrunk/tweaked or moved), cant select where emails go, cant disable on pages where it makes no sense, opaque/confusing language makes using the app more of a chore than it should be, and finally we're also getting spammed on it... Almost every other public-facing app we use has these kinds of options/customization tools. I kind of wish customers didnt use it so I could delete it and not deal with these annoyances.

Reliable & consistent. Limited in 'options' and controls, but it gets the job done and is presentable.
Suggestions for future updates:
- settings to send only a single notification when a customer starts a conversation. Being flooded with 10+ emails in 2 minutes is a definite turn off from this app!
- customization of e-mail reply to customers when they are offline. Current 'default' template is quite unprofessional looking
- controls to add/make particular information, such as a phone number, mandatory when starting the conversation.

good day. I would give absolutely zero stars. the app is good, it works well. but. but the infected news from nigeria, no, enough, nerve wracking. shopify should probably think about their marketing partners as some in Nigeria say because they are fake. I have been watching it for the past month. damage the inbox app and even shopify, sad .... such a huge company. but otherwise the app is good. works fine

Chat pot is one of the most powerful to use on your website even if you are still in the preparation period, just adding some questions and auto-reply can be used to direct your lost visitors directly to right place and solve the issue without spending your time in it, keep going guys, great app
