Unfortunately Shopify deleted some links in my store without asking permission then they closed the chat and failed me after being on the chat for hrs the close the chat again. It was Shopify mistake. Now escalation has occurred and they won't fix the issue, furthermore, they requested for me to reload again the information which I paid to begin with 5 yrs ago. This matter needs to be addressed as I do not know how to do this. There Isn't telephone support just chat the website company has failed me. Again I'm giving a 3 stars because the beginning was great but now it's really difficult to deal with getting escalations handle at all. My website looks unpolished and unprofessional until they help.

It is a little confusing when I keep seeing old messages. There's got to be a way where you can ask if the conversation is over for ever, or not...

Thanks for sharing your feedback.

To help keep your inbox decluttered, you can try closing conversations when you feel the conversation is over. This will move the conversation under the Closed tab and keep the Open tab cleaner. The customer is not notified of you closing a conversation as it just for management on your side. If the customer continues a conversation you had closed, it will automatically be moved back into Open.

You can close a conversation by clicking the dotted line circle on the left of each conversation under Open or clicking the "..." button > "Close conversation".

We do not currently have an easy way to confirm with the customer if the conversation is over forever, which may be the feature you are suggesting. Feel free to reach out to us at inbox@shopify.com with more details about what you would be looking for and we can share your idea with the product team. Thanks!

I'm having a problem with the emails from Shopify inbox going to my customer junk folder. I have contacted support but they say it's my authentication and/or email settings. But this is the only place where I have an issue. My email is authenticated and shows up appropriately everywhere else.

You cannot change the "Chat with Us" title on the app, please help with this.

Also if you can add a picture circle option so that when visitors open the chat they can see who they are speaking to, it would make communication much more personal. The option to add a circle picture would be incredible and I'll change my review.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.

We have actually added the chat avatar feature you suggested to help make communication more personal.

You can enable and manage your avatar at inbox.shopify.com under Settings > Message preferences > Avatar.

After selecting "Use admin profile picture", the picture will appear in the circle in the chat as you have described.

You also should be able to change the title and icon of the chat widget. From your shop's admin at admin.shopify.com, select Inbox under "Sales channels". Clicking the "Customize chat" button will take you to an editor in which you can modify the colors, icon, wording, positioning, and greeting message of the chat widget.

For the text, we have preset options as well as the option to remove the text and just have an icon. Please feel free to reach out to us at inbox@shopify.com for further assistance with either of these features. Thanks!

We use it because it comes with Shopify plus. It's very basic by comparison to LiveChat. It works fine as a starter conversation with customers, however does not provide near the information for the client as LiveChat did.

You need to allow people to send documents in chat. I needed to send a documents and had no option of doing that. Thank you.

A great application that works. The problem is that it is only in one language.... There is no way to translate it into other languages like English, French or Spanish. The result is that a Spanish customer only gets the interface in the language of the store (i.e German) and this is a major defect.

It will look a lot cleaner if there's a hyperlink rather than sending the whole link

It works great for actual customers, but there is a lot of spam. Many companies that offer Shopify customization services reach out through the chat pretending to be legitimate customers.
