Gorgias: Helpdesk, Chat & FAQ

Love gorgias, makes customer service seamless and easy!

Joaquin was very helpful with providing instructions for the domain verification, as we were experiencing issues with this. Cannot thank Joaquin enough for being so helpful!

The service lacks a proper spam filter. I can’t block email addresses or mark emails as spam. Additionally, I’ve been getting charged twice for months, paying €160 monthly instead of the expected amount. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend it.

Avoid! Ongoing outages and if you use their API you lose all record of any email responses sent. Gorgias has advised that there is no way to recover these emails except for manually forwarding emails to yourself. Resending every email ever sent via gorgias individually to your own email so that you have a record in gsuite is not realistic. They of course recommend their API due to google deliverability issues which of course they can't substantiate.

We are updating our review as a warning to those considering Gorgias. After we left their platform, we endeavored to remove what is ours off of their platform per Privacy Concerns. Gorgias, once again, rather than addressing our concerns and working with us to resolve this very serious matter, is, in response, sending us form letters and sending us in circles (We have had other privacy concerns with them. See remainder of our review below). Buyer beware. Read their TOS to compare and to make decisions before signing onto their platform.

We were with Gorgias for around 4 years. They were good in the beginning--had good support and the platform worked as it should. But, in this past year two we grew very disgruntled with them and could not wait for our term agreement to end with them. Reasons: they are very over-priced, their support is spotty (they have cut way back on support in the past couple of years) and they send you in circles, often not resolving the issue. We paid for their phone add-on and it never worked, despite many support tickets. The phone didn't ring to us, it glitched a lot, it was terrible. The platform itself is "noisy." And, one thing users should be very aware of: IF you forward an email from Gorgias to another person and then email the original sender your forwarded email will go to the original person! This is a nightmare for customer service. They did not listen to my complaint about this and sent me in endless circles, which is what they do. They tried to tell me Google does this, but it does not. Their fix? You have to manually erase the messages that fall below the one you are sending, which includes any forwarded messages. As a busy brand, I can tell you, remembering to comb my emails to make sure I haven't forwarded anything when answering back does not happen. What happens? Customers can see what you wrote in forwarded emails and it might not be something you want them to be privy to. We are so very glad to be done with Gorgias. We have moved away from Gorgias, and on to a better platform, that offers excellent customer service without any of these issues and is a lot less pricey.

Great onboarding and customer support. Very useful to organise and automate customer support tickets. 'Convert' is going to be very interesting too for boosting CVR and AOV.

Our account was billed even though we already canceled it.

The HelpDesk | Customer Support app has been a game-changer for my Shopify store! Managing customer inquiries used to be a challenge, especially with limited team capacity, but this app streamlined everything.

Fantastic application and support.

Review stars is based on SUPPORT TEAM only!
Its fairly seamless to install. Seems ok but have only recently installed.
But the experience with their help desk is absolutely terrible today.
Started off with 'Joeferson' who was somewhat a help with delayed responses. Then Sharmaine comes in after 30 mins saying she needs a min to catch up. ok no problems, thinking we only got 1 step in so wont take long. 25 mins later I ask if she is still there with a reply so basic it was ridiculous. Replied with the obvious of 'yes I have'. I ask has it really take an hour for you to tell me the code needs to be on every page i was it installed? (face palm).
The asks me for a screen shot of the theme where I installed the code... ummm its not installed on the theme, surely you should know this? she replied with 'yes the content section, my bad!' wow... just wow.
anyway a hour later she replies saying it to complex for them and they need the email team to do it, but dont worry, the team will continue trouble shooting!
Over an hour wasted only to be told its to complex. Mind you this is only for the control center to be added to the website (what should be a simple issue). for an app that came recommended from my business coach, I think ill be asking for new recommendations because the support team they have on today don't know left from right.
I dont normally leave reviews, especially like this one. I know most app support teams jump from customer to customer but oh my gosh.
Extremely disappointed.

stay away. nothing works - waste of time! support is horrible!
