Gorgias

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.

After testing the app thoroughly, I have found that while there are some limitations, it's still a great app overall. I highly recommend it due to its intuitive and easy-to-use interface, as well as the great customer support Gorgias provides!

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.

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.

It's so frustrating... The pricing structure that they show on their own website is VERY misleading. By moving the sliding bar to tell them how much interactions you expect, it looks like you get 160 tickets a month for $10. This isn't the case. It took me to send customer support a screenshot for them to clarify that it's $10 for 50 tickets then $0.40 per additional ticket. Their justification on this was that the best option is to stay on the $10 a month then pay $44 as that's better than paying $60 a month on the next plan up!
The next option is $60. We are off back to help crunch as we know where we are with billing!
They pride themselves on transparency... Would be good if they started out being honest and transparent from the beginning!

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

I must've played the customer experience roulette and lost. I have been trying to add phone service to my current subscription and had some questions about setup, but the level of support experience that I'm getting does not reflect the positive reviews here. Since when do you have to follow up to your own questions? I'm very disappointed.

Edit: I had a feeling that this was an isolated case, but they reached out to me, and I was immediately put on the right track. I appreciate that Gorgias really pays attention to its customer base, and I'm happy with the results.

Great support team. Very knowledgeable. Helped sort out technical issues with great attention to details.

If you are a by the hour worker who never leaves their desktop computer then maybe its a decent app but if you are on the go and work virtually from your phone at times then it is the absolute worst, the app has a 1.7 star rating in the apple store's website. Good if you never use a tablet of phone, stay away from if you plan to use the mobile version. I complained about it multiple times and they did nothing, the app got worse when I upgraded my phone.

The team at Gorgias is incredibly transparent and open to feedback, as they tailor their strategic plan and developments around the needs of their clientele. Since we switched to Gorgias at the beginning of 2021, we've been through large changes in ticket volume and the size of our support team has varied. Gorgias has been a stable platform for us throughout those changes and the flexibility and functionality are a huge value add for us. If you are a scaling support team looking for a helpdesk that can do it all - and is run by a team focused on your needs and open to feedback - I cannot recommend Gorgias more!
