Shop chat

Shop chat lets you chat with customers who reach out to your store through the Shop app. Messaging with your customers can help improve their experience before and after they place an order, and can increase your conversion rates.

Customers using the Shop app can initiate a chat with your store at any time, whether or not they've made a purchase from your store. However, you can’t initiate a chat with a customer.

To allow Shop customers to message you through the Shop app, you need to be using theShop Channel,并Shopify Inboxset up.
