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

Really good app - not just for messaging with customers but also the FAQs and quick answers. Just hope that promised Instagram link works well.
One request is that variants can be linked to from the app linked to the generic product type isn't good enough.

We're delighted to hear how you feel about our app! We can definitely see that linking variants or having product identifiers can be an improvement, and we'd be happy to pass this request to our developers. Thank you for taking the time and sharing this feedback! -Elias, Shopify Support

Removed this app after a month. Half the time could not reopen on my phone to answer questions from prospective customers so no chance of real time chat. Very buggy. At times the app simply would not open. Not a great impression left for me or my customers. Will continue my search.

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,

The first day I installed it I received an order because we were able to chat with them at the decision point.

It seemed to work OK, The problem is that there is no way to set your opening hours so the damn thing is pinging all night thanks to international customers who get annoyed because they think that you are ignoring them.
No-one can be available 24/7 365 days a year.

Hello Graphics Direct, thank you very much for your review and feedback.

It is possible to set hours of availability as well as a separate automated message for when you are 'available' or 'set to away'. This is all done through the Shopify Ping app. Here is the link to the help doc (https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/promoting-marketing/ping/setup#set-your-chat-availability) on how to set that up.

Setting up hours of availability won't prevent customers from chatting in outside of your hours of availability, so notifications may continue (but hopefully fewer!) so I will include your feedback to our developers.

If you ever need any assistance with the app, or have further feedback and suggestions, feel free to contact our team directly at ping@shopify.com

Best regards,
