What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants appreciate this app for its real-time customer interaction, user-friendly interface, and easy integration. They find the customer profile and order history features useful for personalizing chats. The "Quick Replies" function, instant answers setup, and the ability to respond via email to missed chats are also favored. Merchants value the option to offer products or discounts during a chat. The app's affordability and supportive customer service are additional benefits.

Clients images never seem to come through to me so I always have to redirect them to email to see their attachments.

Hello Wood Finds, thanks so much for your feedback and review!

At this time, clients are not able to send images through Shopify Chat, but we are working on adding that ability. Keep redirecting them to email for now if you don't mind.

Hope that helps! Get in touch if you need anything else, our team can be reached at ping@shopify.com

Love the ability to chat with customers on my site. Would love the option to have an away message outside of business hours.

Hello Bloomingdeal$ Furniture Store, thank you for your review and feedback! Glad you love the ability to chat with customers.

For availability hours, we are working on adding that feature so keep your Shopify Ping app up to date!

There is a great Shopify blog post on the benefits and best uses of chats. I highly recommend this read.

It is a good app that allows customers to ask direct questions. however; the delay in getting the notifications sometimes means the customer has left the site. It does send the response via email but sometimes it would be good to interact with the customer straight away - otherwise a great app

It works good but need little more improvement in accuracy, notification and instigation. Overall works good.

I love the app and it really helps me communicate with my customers. Please update a block button for people who want to offer services or people who use it to harass businesses using your service.

Need on Desktop:
Ability to search chats (a must)
Relabel chat headings (this was there before but can't find it now?). Super handy to be able to add a customer name or note there.
Save images with an extension, have to rename them every time right now to open them.
Bulk manage chats (archive etc)
Expire old chats after xxx days
Also need to be able to sent the chat to the customer in Email afterwards like Shopify support does.
Thanks

Nice app. It's integrated with my live chat, Instagram inbox, and facebook messenger so i get messages from all channels in one place. The only issue is having to log in every time.

Kind of a great app. It just lacks customization to make it more branded, and also the customization to hide it on some website pages. Would be great for messages coming from IG if we could see their profile picture and a quick link to access they profile, so we don't confuse different users.

Hi there!

Overall good and super simple to use, but could be improved. Please add a way to research conversations by name/order number. Another useful feature would be the ability to tag customers with custom-tags.
