I love Shopify Inbox! There are some, of course, some things that could be improved upon. For example, I'd LOVE it if users could search within the Mail app for messages from specific users or for messages pertaining to specific products or key words. Sometimes I have to research something for a response, and then it's hard to find that particular message again. That being said, it's an amazing tool and it's FREE. It's also fairly user-friendly and simple. Thank you!

This app is Great! I can track down issues customers are having and stay in touch with them through the process. I do wish that you could program in auto responses. To be able to remind people to request a refund using the Refund link In their Order, rather than having to type it out every time when they aren't seeing that option as the correct way to do it rather than asking in an inbox message.

Correspond à mes besoins. Le seul bémol est qu'il manque la traduction pour les questions prédéfinies

The AI responses are great, but I am having trouble accessing the Shopify Inbox app on my mobile device.

Would be great if we could start email conversations here from an order page. This would help centralize all communications in one place instead of going to our email client and sometimes having clients sending messages to chat and email. Other than that it's extremely simple and works well!

It's really easy and fast to check all the customer info in the profile bar next to the live chat so you don't have to let the chat to manage the orders

It is a fantastic app that has enabled me to answer questions quickly for our customers. The interface is much like texting, and I do truly view it as an asset. Room for improvement: - It would be awesome if an audio reply option was added. - It would be nice if an auto reply feature was enabled, so I could say "Thanks for contacting us! If you don't get a reply right away, we will contact you via email shortly." or something along those lines. We are a small business, and don't have the ability to staff someone to reply immediately around the clock. - The auto AI response feature is frustrating. Every time I go to respond to a message, it never types the first word correctly because it is trying to come up with an AI response instead. If this feature could be a button to press to generate a response for those who want to use it, instead of it being the default, that would be so much better.

I love this app because it gives potential customers access to me. If they have a question, the app notifies me, just like a text. And boom, I can answer any and every question the customer has. This way the customer gets answers immediately and you provide customer service that gains more confidence with them. I've gotten lots of customers because of the accessibility and ease of using this app. And best of all,, it's FREE!!!

A lot of scammers are reaching out through this platform using the shopify inbox as a way to contact the owner of the store. They are offering to assist new stores with "consider implementing the necessary changes to enhance our store's performance and visibility". Here's a concise breakdown of what needs to be addressed: 1. Reactivate and configure the disabled feature to restore full functionality and ensure seamless indexing by search engines. 2. Implement advanced on-page SEO strategies, including metadata optimization and structured data integration, to enhance organic visibility. 3. Generate and submit an updated XML sitemap to Google Search Console, ensuring expedited crawling and indexing of your store’s pages. And other suspicious activities.

Dit is ontzettend handig en resulteert altijd in verkoop of directe hulp voor de klant. Het tilt de klantenservice naar een hoger niveau.

This is a ONE STAR review but when I tried to submit one star, it would not submit. I tried over and over again, but it kept rejecting and refusing to submit. So if you see this, know that I only gave it more stars so it would let me submit. I'm telling the truth for others to know. It should have been ONE STAR. I'm taking screenshots of everything to keep as proof. What it did by refusing to let me submit ONE STAR means that this app that "supposedly" has 5,568 --- 4.7 stars --- is lying to the public because it forces people like me to give higher stars because it won't let us submit ONE star. It would only let me submit after I gave it more stars. So if you don't see one star reviews, it is because this app is lying and misleading Shopify shop owners by forcing reviews to be higher than they are, and its rating really has much lower 4.7 stars at 5,868. This is my real review: The app has no info to show me how to see what my customer sees. I can't see what my store's "sender" contact info is, and there is no way to find it or adjust it in any settings. And most of all, the app says my customer has no orders, but they DO have orders. There is also no help or support for it either. If you really care, email me to help me with a solution and stop preventing reviewers from leaving honest reviews with truthful feedback. Fix your app instead!

This app centralized and consolidates your specific business customer received emails and associates them directly to the store, through your regular business gmail account. It saves you space, and it maintains historical email from the customer.

Its great except if you have a customer service agent or another email for support questions you cant use this app. It will only send to the store owners email. They really need to change this - most store owners are doing their own support or have a different email even if they are and cant change their stores email to the support email for security reasons.
