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.

The app really seems great and was an exciting prospect for our store, but unfortunately there's currently a killer flaw: the inability to turn off pre chat form. Requesting a visitor's name and email before talking with them first will greatly reduce the number of people that contact us. People are wary to share their information and it's an unnecessary first step. Hopefully Shopify developers will make it possible to turn off this feature soon.

Hi, thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback here with us. I definitely understand your perspective and can see how the form may deter visitors from wanting to start the live chat in the first place. I'll submit your thoughts as feedback to our internal development team, so that they're aware of the need to customize or disable the form within the Inbox app. Thanks! -Kimi, Shopify Support

Très bonne application, mais j'ai un problème, sur mon site il y a plusieurs erreurs qui se mette dans la console due à votre application, et ceci nuit un peut au référencement naturel de google car le site pagespeed proposé par google le détecte et réduit en conséquence nos points de référencement sur le site . Je mets 3 étoiles en attendent que les problèmes soient réglés.
Sinon bonne application pour centraliser tous les clients, et possibilité d'avoir une application mobile.

From a former Shopify employee:

Why does it keep logging me out? Why does it eat my messages before they are sent?

Stop spending time on AI and just get basics right.

Hi, I find the Inbox App generally pretty good. The main issue I get is that as I access the Inbox from various devices sometimes the sync between them all doesn't seem to be consistent. Also I find that messages remain unread and flagged as such on the App icon, even after they have been read. This seems to relate to the sync issue. Besides that it is a handy business tool and I would recommend people to try it.

I like this app because it helps my customers reach me in real time. But I would like if they are able to show me the title and image of the items they are inquiring about. Currently they are able to say the title of the item but no image of it shows.

Bonne application en générale. Nous avons plusieurs sites de commerce et malheureusement l'application ne permet pas d'être authentifié sur deux sites en même temps. De plus, ça ne rassemble pas tous les messages des différents canaux. Fonctionne bien malgré tout, work in progress et pour le prix, on ne peut pas se plaindre.

I wish there was a way to see and respond to chats on your computer. I feel like the Ping app doesn't always send notifications, I often seem to miss messages. It would be so useful to not have to answer on my phone.

Decent. I don't understand why we can only set one set of hours per day in the settings. We're not allowed lunch times? Right now I can only say open from and then closed. It would be a lot more useful if I can send a different message (away message) for our lunch time.

Thank you for writing your review and for sharing your feedback with us here. It is possible to set an away message within Inbox, and when you set it to active the message will automatically send to customers. You can therefore just toggle the message to be active whenever you take lunch or step away for a period. You can read more on how to do this here: https://bit.ly/3IjTi2E. -Victor, Shopify Support
