What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants highly value this app for enhancing customer service and boosting sales with features like real-time support, "Quick Replies", and customer detail provision. Its seamless integration with Shopify, mobile convenience, and email response option for missed chats are appreciated. The app's affordability and minimal technical issues are beneficial for small businesses. Merchants also commend the ability to offer products or discounts during chats, customize autoresponders, and gain insights into customer inquiries and shopping patterns. The support team is praised for their exceptional assistance.

The app is okay. But we need to be able to customize it more. Because I want to add a button on the product page instead of being always active on the website. We need a bit more functions like z index and custom placement possibilities.

We appreciate you taking the time to write your review and we thank you for providing us with feedback on how Shopify Inbox could be improved for the benefit of your business.

I know that having more control over customization is a popular request we have received from merchants and this is something we may allow for in future updates. I will submit your comments to our development team and I hope in future this is something we can do to help improve the app experience for you and your customers. -Victor, Shopify Support

I like this app, but it's so frustrating that it's impossible to get rid of this text on top of the pop-up chat: "Leave a number and we'll text you back as soon as we're available (an email address works too)." Even, after contacting support, I didn't manage to succeed. Is it just me, or is that text really unnecessary and ugly?

Hi Amber Guru, thank you for your honest feedback and review! The "Leave a number .." banner is not removable at this time, as it's meant to link up a phone number or email address to an existing customer. If your customer list recognizes a phone number or email address, it will replace that with their name to personalize the chat! If it is not recognized, a customer account will be created and then you can market to them at a later time.

However, we are noting it would be great to have this as an option to edit or turn/off on, so will be adding your request to our product team. :-)

Hope that clears up any confusion, and again, thank you for your feedback. This is very helpful so we can improve our products!

All the best,

It's fine but I really dislike that I can't remove the Welcome Message notification indicator. The red dot that is SUCH a distraction to users.

The Chat works completely fine. I wish it had more customizations. For example: If we had any way to help/assist customers with what's already in their cart, such as adding different quantities, adjusting pricing, adding more customer service to the experience. I also would like to see a different away message based on the day of the week or time of day. Still very glad to have this function in the shop. Easy to install and easy to use.

The app is okay. If you are a small team its great. If you have more staff this app does not have enough user controls or logs to support an actual team as of yet. The app will send out notifications to ALL staff members on your store no matter what. You as the master user / owner have no control to limit notifications, which means any user on your store (no matter permissions set) will get a notification about a chat. Also there are no logs of these emails being sent to staff members. I talked with Shopify support and they told me that each user would need to click an opt-out at the bottom of the first notification they receive, but since (as the master user) I would have no log of this happening it would create a bit of a security flaw. Until proper user permissions, that are controlled by the master user are set in place I will not be able to use this app. I really hope this is updated because this app has a lot of promise. Other chat apps currently have more robust options and permission settings and I would recommend using them until updates.

Below average rating. This app do not support customer chat without insert their first name last name and email. There is no option to turn off. which is not convenient for them when their just want instant message.

First Reply can not insert link. That means when off hour, customer may not contact us through whatsapp. But its official i believe it works faster than competitor apps.

So much spam from Egypt and Nigera. I choose to render whatsapp as Customer Service.

I've received five messages to date. To my knowledge the app is working. I need more time to give a better review.
