Merchants appreciate this app for enhancing real-time customer communication, leading to improved service and increased sales. They value its seamless Shopify integration, mobile functionality, and direct chat product links. The Quick Replies and automated responses are praised for saving time. However, some merchants seek more customization, advanced features like AI integration, proactive messaging, and improved reporting. The app's reliability and Shopify's support are highly valued.

Pros: I like the convenience of having chat on my website. I also like that it was easy to setup and I don't have to do anything to "maintain" it. I also like that when I miss a chat, the response is emailed to the customer. And I like the idea of having AI responses.
Cons: The AI bot is annoying. It generates long, automated responses that are not accurate. I waste time deleting them to write my response. And then the bot doesn't learn from my responses to improve the next time around. That's disappointing.
Wishes: I wish there was a way to identify shopping patterns and determine when someone was about to bounce out of the website and allow me to flag them before hand. I also wish there was a way that it could provide insights that would improve a customer's overall shopping experience to improve conversion. I wish there was a way I could categorize customers and message them accordingly (e.g. if someone says can I get added to a waitlist for something, I'd like to do that automatically). I wish there was a way that I could consolidate insights about the types of questions they were asking and context so I could make improvements to my site, product descriptions, etc.
Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to write your review and outline what you do and don't like about Shopify Inbox, and how you'd like to see it improved in future.

I would like the cell phone to work as a whatsapp, sometimes you have to enter the email every so often and I do not realize that there are messages pending to answer because the cell phone app does not notify. other than that all good.
Overall its good but the messages take a while to load, it can be upgraded :)
Pros:
1. instant answers
2. getting customer info
3. free
4. ability to engage
Cons:
1. and 2. no way of removing from certain pages like the landing pages, this leads to my next problem where you can't remove the notification 1 in the right hand corner for new customers unless they manually touch the chat box. this is bad for anyone with ocd or adhd. its distracting on a page meant for conversion!
3. can't change the size of the chat bubble
4. no unsend option on text
5. no pc scrollbar for instant answers
Messages do not seem to get transferred to my email inbox, so I sometimes miss them or end up replying too late.
please improve shopify inbox

Very good app. The problem is it does not work with Kallas theme at all. It causes glitches on mobile site, screen flickering, and the modal window not opening fast or closing... Buggy
Hey, there. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! The Shopify Inbox app is designed to work across most themes - however if you are seeing a specific issue on a theme, your best bet would be to first reach out to the theme developers to see if there's any issues on their side: https://shopify.link/7MJw. After that, feel free to contact our own team and we'd be happy to take a closer look: https://shopify.link/WJna. -Rick, Shopify Support
This app has been improving, and currently seems like a pretty good value relative to paid options. But it still bugs out far too frequently, with customers not recieving any messages and asking if anyone is there while I'm actively replying to them. Hope it improves over time!
the live chat does not update side by side i have to close the chat and come back:(

every contact is listed as spam so its hard to understand which experts to really trust
