Shopify Inbox

I have no idea how people use this application on desktop. The application has had bugs since the last update last year. The Inbox app just times out and continues loading for 20 to 30 minutes. It is unusable through the Shopify desktop admin.

A lot of scammers are reaching out through this platform using the shopify inbox as a way to contact the owner of the store. They are offering to assist new stores with "consider implementing the necessary changes to enhance our store's performance and visibility". Here's a concise breakdown of what needs to be addressed:

1. Reactivate and configure the disabled feature to restore full functionality and ensure seamless indexing by search engines.
2. Implement advanced on-page SEO strategies, including metadata optimization and structured data integration, to enhance organic visibility.

3. Generate and submit an updated XML sitemap to Google Search Console, ensuring expedited crawling and indexing of your store’s pages. And other suspicious activities.

I do not recommend - We have been getting explicit videos for a week on this app, and there is no way to block people via IP or other means, or a way to prevent people from uploading files. This individual just uses fake emails and floods our inbox. Like usual, Shopify support is not helpful. Exploring other apps.

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.

We just made the switch over to inbox, and while you can set hours for chat, it doesn't mean anything apparently because it still sends push notifications to your phone even at 2am, outside of the hours set in the app settings. Super annoying. Seems like a pretty basic issue that should be figured out.

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.

Loathe the automatic opt in on "Shopify Magic" AI responses; on-phone app always shows notifications when there are none. No positive feedback for this app.

The widget on the website crashes often and users are not able to use the widget.

can't get any users to be able to chat on this except for myself. poor interface.

there is no way to export the chat messages out of inbox app
