I love Shopify but I just struggle navigating it sometimes and I do panic when stuff isn't running correctly

So far I'm really happy with it. I like how I can share discounts, see what's in their cart and more. I hope they add more options, like AI replies to certain questions that are not necessarily instant answers as we don't need a dozen or more options available there. However, some questions we are asked often could be answered with trained AI responses like we had in another free chat app we used up until switching to Inbox.

I love how I get the message via my private cellphone and my desktop computer at the same time. It makes response time very fast! Thank you!

The app works great, but I need to be able to (automatically) translate instant answers to customers language (i.e. Dutch for Dutch customers etc). Please implement this, thank you!

The Shopify Inbox app is really great and very helpful. It would be even better if customers could submit their phone number before contacting support. Also, image quality becomes low when sending images, which needs improvement. Other than that, everything is excellent.

We love using Shopify Inbox at Livv - www.LivvActivewear.co.za. It's the best way to stay in contact with our clients.

So much simpler and effective than our previous third-party chat (Tawk.io). See the customer contact info and their cart helps so much with product questions. And the mobile app is just perfect for responding quickly. I'm so glad Shopify integrated this and offers a free solution to a common problem.

not bad so far, but it should show the page or product your customer is messaging about, very often do i get customers asking me about products but i have no clue which ones they are talking about

Ottima, potrebbe essere sicuramente migliorata, ma offre una buona integrazione e permette di gestire una chat in modo rapido ed efficace.

Auto generated answers are not accurate, and there really isn't any way to fix that. Better than nothing, but it's worth paying for a real inbox app.

It's really glitchy. There is no doubt that it is a powerful conversion tool, but it's far too glitchy with messages not loading or coming through instantly, meaning the customer drops off whilst waiting for a response. The AI auto messaging feature is also poor, if you start typing a message, the AI auto message feature will then completely overwrite your message.

Working great and already getting positive feedback from customers on the excellent customer support!

A little glitchy and often does not load, forcing one to log in to Shopify to access the app. Time-consuming! When it works smoothly, it is excellent and allows me to have real-time conversations with customers. But it still needs work to function smoothly and consistently. The phone app on Android is especially temperamental.

Great for keeping in touch with current and potential customers. On Apple devices you can bypass focus modes to ensure messages come through without delay.

I love that you are notified immediately when a customer writes in and I'm able to take care of there needs immediately. I feel like I'm able to give great customer service.

Great feature. The only thing that I'd suggest is the ability for merchants to contact customers regarding their order, using inbox.
