SB: Helpdesk, Live Chat & FAQs

Très bonne application qui me permer de gérer les demandes clients en les assignant à différents agents ou en programmant des réponses automatiques avec des templates. J'ai aussi pu développer la FAQ sur ce meme outil, ainsi qu'un formulaire de contact. J'utilise cette appli depuis plusieurs années maintenant.

Alright alright hear me out - there is a lot of frustration here about how they handled the transition to the new (paid) subscription plans. I was frustrated too when suddenly my 5 FAQ articels were deleted, just because I didn't select any plan in time.

BUT the Helpcenter guys listened to all the negative feedback and restored every FAQ article. The support team was very helpful and there was compensation for the inconveniences. The new subscription plans are fair in my opinion.

The App is easy to use and has been updated with new features and an easy interface. Honestly if it weren't for that bumby transition phase, I think the App would have close to 5,0 stars.

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!

Good support from Caleb. Quick answers and he try to guide you as best as possible

FAQ works well with many options. Had an issue once and it was quickly resolved.

Needed some tech support; contacted them via Chat and it was sorted in minutes.
Easy to use app, have used it now for around three or four years.

I am trying this app now as opposed to Zendesk. So far, so good! And customer service is really helpful with any issues. I'll update this when I'm 100% up and running!

Plataforma simple pero funcional. Destacaría el servicio de atención al cliente, muy rápida y eficiente.

Great App!

For me and most other users out there this app provides and effective, simple and easy solution.

I have tried to create a good FAQ through:
-Shopify Page Design
-Inserting my own specific codes into a page
-Tested three other help center type apps

(Note this is my personal assessment based on my limited knowledge of web programming)

1) Help Center VS. Shopify Page Creation
-Creating Shopify pages are super easy but the design is limited to your theme and may not be adaptable for easy reading on an FAQ type section. This is important to note as customers expect an easy to read FAQ to answer their immediate questions and a regular themed page will not do it. Result: I'm going to learn to throw some style coding...

2) Help Center vs Shopify + Styling
-So this process took me to add a little styling to the html/css code to make it look better. This worked after a few hours of playing around with things. Then, on another note, I decided to change my whole FAQ section and... to my sadness.. my code needed to be re-done... Result: This didn't work either for myself as my coding skills are not up to par.

3) Help Center vs. FAQ/Help Apps
-I tested a bunch of the listed apps liked zendesk and some lesser known apps. Alot of them were very well done and provided a huge array of value and customization. Only problem was, my main concern was a cool/easy to read/and integrated to my theme faq section. These apps provide integration for help/support through email and agents but our 1-2 person back office did not need this level. Also, a few of the apps had excellent help desk style forums but they were located on their hosted site. I could customize the look of these hosted setups nicely but honestly I didn't really have the time to update as I like to follow this process:

Customer sends email asking a question/Sends Facebook/Instagram/etc ->
I respond with a thoughtful and supported answer ->
I take this question/answer and generalize it and add to my FAQ since I assume if one person maybe 5 are wondering bout it ->
Add to FAQ and call it a night

As of now (I have only tested Help Center for one day) - it completes my above goals with easy and no frustration.

This is a free app so the expectation of impressive integration and tools are not needed. But, I would expect once the app has some critical mass of users this basic setup will definitely be a big draw to those small companies with huge growth dreams. I think it is important to pay for hard work of developers and I really appreciate a free app to see if the functionality fits your individual business processes.

One thing I would like to see:
-The ability to add this to multiple pages or have a bunch of individual help centers on one site (EG. One for shipping/Product Info/etc)

Otherwise, very impressed and looking forward to building my content with this app!

5 stars are not really enough to rate this app and the support I have received!
I have never before experienced such a 1st class support and eagerness to update/improve a free app on shopify.
Thumbs up to the HelpCenter Crew!
