Super helpful for managing in real time the customers on the page, helps close deals and alleviate the unknowns for our customers by having someone to chat to. This also provides a tonne of social proof

el icono de chat se superpone encima del botón de compra. me gustaría que el icono de chat se escondiera al momento de que el cliente abra el carrito de compras.

Hi French Nik Naks!
We're sorry to hear you were having issues logging into Shopify Ping. This was an issue we noticed after releasing version 2.5 of Ping, but our team has since released an update that should allow you to log in without a hitch. The current version of Shopify Ping on iOS is 2.5.3.

If you are still experiencing issues logging in after updating to the current version please contact us at ping@shopify.com and we can work with you directly to ensure everything is up and running. 🙂

We previously used Tidio as a live chat feature on our website however, learning Shopify offered a live chat addition without an extra fee we though we'd give it a go. Features-wise it offers us nearly everything we previously used with Tidio however, the feature I miss most is the search function. Messages from customers are still held within the system after the customer is no longer active however, should you need to contact that customer regarding something you have to scroll through (in our case) hundred of messages to locate that same customer. As time goes on and more messages are received this only becomes worse however, its really not the end of the world. The positives far out-weight the negatives in this case!

Hey, there! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review for Shopify Inbox! Any feedback for Inbox is always appreciated. It's great to hear that the app has been fitting the bill for most of your needs! Your request for a 'search' function is a great idea, and actually something people have brought to us before. I'm going to pass along this feedback to our Development Team so they can look into building this functionality in the future. A temporary solution to consider is using the Crtl+f function on your page with your conversations, as it may be able to help you find those older conversations quickly. Let us know if you have any additional feedback for us! -Imogen, Shopify Support

Functions do not work well. I have installed and uninstalled a few times to make them work but they do not work properly. Not all features are also visible to customers.

I deleted this app due to spam messages. Shopify's solution to block one spammer at a time is impractical. Shopify support couldn't help.

This app has bags of potential, the link with shopify admin is great and beats external apps, living in the infrastructure of the shopify system makes good sense.
The biggest gripe we have is you can't schedule office hours on it - you can do it for responses (after a customer has sent a message it will send something), but we want to do it so it shows us as offline prior to a customer sending a message - it is bad service them writing out a message expecting a reply and then it saying we are offline. Also some customers don't read the offline response and end up sending messages getting frustrated that we aren't replying to them at 3am!
Also, our phones ping through the night and all weekend as customers think we are online for them.
How do we set it to show a customer we are offline initially?

The Shopify Chat app has helped with conversions. We've generally found email inquiries are down and Chat numbers are up. Customers like the immediacy of it and we like the standard reply options. We'll see if we can keep up in the busy season. I wish it had an option to search previous conversations. if a customer starts a new chat, there is no way to find their earlier chat except for going back through all of the previous chats for the whole store. If a search option was added I'd give it 5 stars.
