What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants value this app for reducing customer support workload with a clean FAQ section, live chat, and helpdesk integration. It's praised for easy setup, customization, and managing interactions in one place. The app integrates smoothly with Shopify, and merchants commend the responsive support team for prompt issue resolution, even on the free plan. It's ideal for small e-commerce businesses due to its essential features and professional appearance.

We added HelpCenter mainly for the FAQ section, but ended up using the ticket system too. It’s actually very easy to manage everything from one place. Reduced a lot of repeat questions for us.

I had given these guys a horrible review 9 years ago, but it appears that they have changed quite a bit since then. I needed help this morning and got Caleb on live chat in about 30 seconds. He was extremely helpful and within about 10 minutes he got into my Shopify store and fixed my FAQ problem. He was very attentive and his communication with me was excellent. I highly recommend these guys!

We use this app for our FAQ. Recently (September 2025) it revised its permissions to request full access to all our customer and order data. This is insane. We have no desire to give this app such sensitive data, just to use a FAQ. Regretfully, we may have to uninstall this app and migrate our FAQ to another app. What a waste of time.

Hi K3D Designs Team!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re really sorry for the frustration this has caused.

To clarify, the recent permission update does not give us access to view or use your customer or order data. The request was made because of technical changes in Shopify’s requirements, but HelpCenter app only uses the minimum information necessary to run its features, and your sensitive data is never accessed or shared.

We value your trust and hope we can restore your confidence in HelpCenter.

Best regards,

I would not recommend this app to others because of the same reason that most of the others have given it a 1 star review... they changed the pricing model so that functionality that was free was no longer free. This had a direct impact on your live site because now only 5 FAQs were displayed on the site and any other FAQs were no longer live. The danger here is that the creators of this app directly affected your live site and the information that was displayed by changing their pricing model and forcing you to pay for functionality that was free. They also force you to upgrade and pay in order to get an export so you have to manually copy each individual FAQ from their app which means you have to edit every single one to copy the answer. Would not use any of their apps in the future.

This app was an absolute lifesaver for my business. Very useful if you are subscribed to their paid plan. The FAQs, Product Tabs, and Live Chat feature is worth every penny!

Good app for FAQs, for the most part. Comes complete with schema markup and the ability to link to specific Q&As. The template choices are limited. There are a couple of issues with technical SEO/accessibility:

1) There are three levels for Headings and Q&As: Category > Section > Articles. If you don't use categories AND sections then you end up with skipped heading levels. In our case, we don't need a subcategory/section within each category.

2) It comes with it's own title tag, which means you get flagged in SEO audits for having multiple title tags. There's no documentation about it this, or how to work around it. I've found that you have to edit the theme code so that the Shopify title tag isn't inserted on this page.

3) The app is heavy, so the FAQs page gets flagged for being slow.

Stay FAR AWAY from this app!! The developers pulled a bait and switch and now we are missing most of our FAQ on our LIVE website. There are many other great options out there. Do not use this crap app!!!!
