Shopify make you log out automatically after a while, for security reasons I assume, even if you use is continiously. BUT they don't let you know you've been logged out. No notification or email. So you just go on with your day thinking its just noone atm that wants to chat. Then after a few days you get angry emails from customer who doesn't get a respsonse in the chat. Because shopify logged you out. Perfect.

Works well as a messaging service EXCEPT from the security of the app and zero protection from scammers and fake email use. Spammers can use fake emails to send messages and leave you endless spam and there is no way to stop them, leaving you sifting through spam to find your genuine customers.

The app needs an email verification system or an IP blocking capability to make it more secure. Because of this huge flaw, I give it a 1 star review.

There's no way to restrict notifications from reaching you at all hours! Even if you set the times the chat is "available" you still get a notification on the app every single time a customer messages no matter the time. This is a basic feature they should have.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, we understand that this would be frustrating and have shared it with our product team.

Currently we do not have a way to restrict notifications during certain hours within our app. A solution for the time being could be to snooze notifications on your device during your unavailable hours. On iOS this is set under the "Focus" settings (i.e. you can silence the Inbox app specifically during certain hours). On Android this should be called "notification snoozing".

Hope that helps! Feel free to reach out to us at inbox@shopify.com with any further questions.

I can't get the Chat bubble to disappear from my website home page. It hides the language preference icon and makes navigation difficult. I've asked for help several times and have been waiting for an answer for a week, but nothing happens. I'm really disappointed. This application is neither user-friendly nor logical.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We understand that this is frustrating as you should be able to receive notifications with sound for Inbox.

Within Inbox settings you can check that your "Push notifications (desktop and mobile)" are enabled. On your mobile device, you also need to have the sound notifications enabled under your general phone settings.

If you still are having trouble receiving sound notifications please reach out to us at inbox@shopify.com and we can assist further. Thanks!

This is the most annoying POC for a business

Am Anfang waren wir von der App begeistert. So konnten wir über eine App alle Shops gleichzeitig mit einem Chat ausstatten. Aber sein einiger Zeit meldes sich die App einfach ab. Die Sitzung wird abgemeldet auf dem Handy. Das große Problem davon ist, dass man nicht merkt dass sich die App abgemeldet hat. Jetzt schreiben Kunden die kurz vor einem Kauf stehen und irgendwelche Fragen haben und wir können darauf nicht antworten, da die App sich von selbst abgemeldet hat. Sehr ärgerlich, da wir ja auch im Chat und im unseren ganzen Marketing Scheiben, dass wir in Echtzeit sofort antworten.

Shopify has decided that we no longer need to see statistics of how our staff are doing in Shopify inbox and removed:

1. Average response time
and mainly
2. Sales

Why would you even think that we don't need to see performance of this sales channel?

Shopify support was NOT able to solve this.
