This app is easy to speak with potential customers and clients. It's also easy to update instant replies messages. I'm really liking this app.

Simple to use and a great tool to help customers directly communicate with us on their favorite product.

Great functionality, but honestly the UI looks like its built by kindergarden pre-school kids. Very disappointed for something built by Shopify actual staff. No way to further customize floating widget button, intrusively too large for Desktop & Mobile. No way to set what and how the button is displayed. No way to set where to display. Added functionality to further customize the look, size of widget & how it is embedded in the pages would push this to 5star app. Currently its really fundamental and lacking.

We just made the switch over to inbox, and while you can set hours for chat, it doesn't mean anything apparently because it still sends push notifications to your phone even at 2am, outside of the hours set in the app settings. Super annoying. Seems like a pretty basic issue that should be figured out.

Incredibly user-friendly and the AI-generated responses are surprisingly good after a week or two of learning!

Easy peasy. Works well for chat. Would be an absolute killer app if it could accept and manage inbound emails rather than just through the widget.

We like the opportunities that this app provides, but it should allow us to reach out to our visitors. It would be more proactive if we can be assistive, rather than wait for someone to reach out to us. People often don't ask questions. Also could benefit to vet and stop spam. We get a lot of unwanted sales pitches.

Très intuitif et très pratique pour les clients qui veulent avoir une réponse rapide plutôt que de passer par un mail. Cependant certains pensent que c'est une IA et se déchainent un peu sur la messagerie .. N'y aurait-il pas possibilité d'avoir une bannière pour leur expliquer quand ils arrivent sur la messagerie ? Sinon application au top je compte bien la garder !

Think the inbox is great, keeps everything organised and notifications come through to website/email easily. I have found setting up laptop notifications a little more tricky.

I have no idea how people use this application on desktop. The application has had bugs since the last update last year. The Inbox app just times out and continues loading for 20 to 30 minutes. It is unusable through the Shopify desktop admin.

Better. Integrated. More efficient than competitor and believe it or not it's Free ! I would definitely pay for Inbox otherwise.

This is one of the best customer messaging systems. It keeps the previous conversation records, which makes it easy to communicate with the customer. The only thing is that you can not send PDF files or Excel invoices.

KLanten apprecieren het directe contact en voor de klantendienst is het een snellere manier ( i vgl met mail) om inzicht te hebben in wie de klant is. We zouden de chat graag kunnen starten vanuit een order in Shopify. Bv wanneer een levering vertraging heeft of een product niet in voorraad is willen we via de chat in contact komen met de klant. Komt dat nog ?

Its a decent free app and will continue to use. Its very basic with no options for ticket agent allocation and no reporting. It shows order and customer information but it doesnt give a link to the product page the customer is looking at, it tells you the page title and then you have to guess

Loathe the automatic opt in on "Shopify Magic" AI responses; on-phone app always shows notifications when there are none. No positive feedback for this app.

God chatfunktion, men jeg kan ikke se noget data/analyser på henvendelserne, svartider osv. - det er rigtig irriterende.

Super happy with this app. I don't care for the automated responses, but I know I just need to go in and figure out how to turn that off. Other than that, I'm thrilled. Thank you so much!

For the most part it does a great job answering questions while we are closed. I am pretty happy with this system.

Would be more recommendable if we get customer contact name along with mail address with every inbox message.
