Zoko ‑ WhatsApp Catalog & API

Great app with helpful features for whatsapp business integrations, mainly for the newly launched websites/businesses. A REALLY Helpful support team. Great for blast marketing and broadcasts. Need to add certain basic features like multi language chat support with customers. Should allow re arrangement of the list of fixed 'quick replies'. The website is where all the features are available, on the mobile app the options are limited.

My old review:

"Zoko is costly compared to Wati. I started using Zoko for my D2C store. It was good. Then I used Wati for my B2B business. Comparatively, the amount of customization and flexibility we have on flows is more with Wati than Zoko.

One more thing is 1000 conversations per month are free in WhatsApp. Just like that, Wati is also offering 1000 free platform conversations. But Zoko is charging for all the conversations.

Now, I considered Freshmarketer, which is way more powerful and cheaper than Zoko.

Do not choose Zoko. Go for either Wati or Freshmarketer. I'm planning to move to Wati or Freshmarketer soon."

For this review, they have blocked my access to my dashboard without any update from their end. I've cleared all the bills!

I'll take this to the Shopify app store.

We are using this app for transactional communication with the customers, and sending broadcast messages. It's fulfilling the requirements. The are improving as per the requirements, and their system is real easy to operate. Not to miss, the real time support we get from their team is appreciable.

The experience with zoko has been very smooth. Had a few issues in creating some templates but the sales team were quite patient and efficient. They help us, guide us and are open to answer all questions and concerns. Very responsive team. It allows multiple agents at the same time. You can view all agent conversations anytime you wish, just switch to that agent's icon.

Good app for standard WhatsApp flows such as COD confirmation and reviews. Customer support stands out - very responsive and one of the major reasons to stay with Zoko.
I would recommend the team to allow flow customisation as that will unlock more value for merchants.

The abandoned cart recoveries that we got out of this app was terrific ! We also found some useful workflows for some exception cases. Over all highly recommended !

Apart from the whatsapp blast for marketing, this app makes it really hard to use whatsapp for businesses. Even their newly launched app is lacking in so many features. You cannot attach photos or files to the chat, and you cannot send products from your catalog to your customers. These are all the basic features available readily on whatsapp business. And since the app is still in beta version, we can only use this app via their website. Which is troublesome because the whole reason we want to link our business to whatsapp is for ease of communication. Also, you cant text anyone from Zoko after the 24 hour window. You have to either wait for that person to text you first, or use a template. Again, this makes things more complicated than just using regular Whatsapp for businesses. If you want to install this app, i recommend buying a new number, one that you intend to use solely for zoko whatsapp blast marketing, and use another number for your whatsapp business for regular chats with customers/clients. Dont sacrifice your current business number for this app because you cannot retrieve it again. Apart from the system not working well, atleast their customer service is really good. They reply very fast, even outside office hours. The three stars are for the customer service and whatsapp blast marketing that are really good. Zoko is a good concept, but still needs a lot of improvements.

ZOKO team is far the best help in terms of onboarding and support. Highly recommend using their service!

THANKS ZOKO, TREMENDOUS SERVICES, THEY DELIVERED WHAT THEY HAVE NOT PROMISED, HOPE TO WORK WITH YOU FOR LONG TERMS, LIKE VERY LOOOONG

Even tho the app is paid, still there is a "powered by Zoko" on your chatbot! looks cheap. store demo on the Shopify app store is not a store demo! it's a youtube video! so no way to find out how it functions before actually using the app. The spelling errors are not being highlighted and Grammarly doesn’t work on this app. Typing with big fingers on your phone, you will be in trouble! Support is excellent! The app has a long way to be that expensive! I personally think they should have offered free if they wanted to have their name on the app and charge this amount after perfecting it! I get a notification on my phone that I have a new message but when I open the Zoko app there are no messages even after refreshing the app unless I open Zoko on my desktop. not so convenient and I keep missing messages. Overall not mobile optimized at all. thinking of changing to another app.
