Shopify Inbox

We like the idea of using the Shopify inbox on our site but in reality the app is too basic.

There is no ability to universally select notification settings. Notifications are automatically set to ON and now everyone with access to our store is getting notifications.

To switch this off - EVERYONE will need to individually enter the app and disable notifications for themselves. Even if you have 100 staff members who are nothing to do with customer service. That is bad app design.

As the store owner I should be able to select who gets access to Shopify inbox and universally what the notification settings are.

I think there also needs to be more functionality integrated around which staff members are currently available to take conversations - ideally auto allocating them to people on shift.

It is getting better by the day.
Can do with some options. But for a free app it shoud get 5 Star.

4 Star now for asking me again for a review.
And if you ask me for a review why should I have to agree to your Terms and Conditions.

I like that it allows video files, wish it were able to be longer than 59 seconds, but still a good feature!

Shopify make you log out automatically after a while, for security reasons I assume, even if you use is continiously. BUT they don't let you know you've been logged out. No notification or email. So you just go on with your day thinking its just noone atm that wants to chat. Then after a few days you get angry emails from customer who doesn't get a respsonse in the chat. Because shopify logged you out. Perfect.

Very easy to use. I never miss a message from my customers

It works great on phone or laptop. It is an easy way to communicate with customers.

love that it replies back to client's questions with full details of service and suggestion. its quick and fast like a human mind.

Works well as a messaging service EXCEPT from the security of the app and zero protection from scammers and fake email use. Spammers can use fake emails to send messages and leave you endless spam and there is no way to stop them, leaving you sifting through spam to find your genuine customers.

The app needs an email verification system or an IP blocking capability to make it more secure. Because of this huge flaw, I give it a 1 star review.

Very useful app -
1. can send product information
2. AI assistance added - reduces turnaround time in live conversation setting
3. Used effectively this type of customer is usually ready to buy.

it save our lives, .. customer message us with questions about our web site and found problem and fixed it right away, other wise we would have lose $$$$ of sales.
