The multistore beta works fantastically and makes Intercom a fantastic option for ecom companies with many stores.
However, I see options for improvement:
- Displaying delivery address for an order details without requirement to go to Shopify
- A more clear and legible product list in the order
- Refunding and cancelling without having to leave Intercom
- Creating new orders doesn't allow to enter or select address for the customer
I think the UX side can be improved significantly but the functional side of importing data from multiple stores in the beta works without any bugs and glithches.

Easy and seamless integration. Great for support team to quickly and easily ingest and reference all shopify order details.

This is a great app. The main downside for us is that we can't connect multiple stores to our single Intercom instance, but I know that Intercom is working on improvements for that at the moment. Looking forward to when we can connect everything up!

Intercom itself is great, although it's geared more towards SAAS than e-com, it still provides more value than Gorgias imo. The actual integration however is pretty poor, lacks features and the worst part is it really slows your site loading times down by a considerable amount. Fix the loading issues and its probably a 4 or 5*

In a few clicks, I had intercom installed and live on my store. Was able to have my store's chat and help email all go into a single place. My customers can even check their order status on the intercom widget on my site so not as many customers are asking for help with order status.

The intercom app is great in general and can be integrated simply on most of the basics Shopify websites / themes and it's good for conversion if you can use it properly (we mostly use the live chat functionnalities). The pricing is a bit weird and it can get expensive if you keep all the contacts but it's easy to adapt to different kind of scenarios.
*If you have a custom theme or web app or if you don't want to use the default intercom themes you might have to do a bit of development work in order to make it work seamlessly and efficiently but it's nothing to complicated and their doc is good enough.

App doesn't even successfully load/install/connect. I'm receiving an error message stating they are experiencing technical difficulties.

The app itself is great and integrates nicely. We're huge fans.
However, the latency of the app is the real shame and is why it doesn't get 5 stars. This is by far the slowest tag to load at over 2700 ms! This definitely needs to be improved.

It does not work. The intercom people are very nice to continue extending my free trial but I have been waiting for over 2 months for this integration to be fixed. The existing customers in Shopify do not sync with the app. If you do not have Shopify premium, you cannot export a lot of the relevant information to be uploaded into intercom. That data such as user created date, etc. is the benefit of intercom, but we can't access any of it bc the integration doesn't work for previous customers.

We really wanted to use this app but it's a VERY POOR implementation.
1) It imports ALL Shopify accounts, even users that never visited or logged into our website. This is great for their pocket but not an accurate user count. We use 3rd party selling channels (like Amazon) and have those orders imported into Shopify. Intercom imports these @amazon.com accounts, even though they state they only count users as those that actually log into your website.
2) The Shopify customer and order data this app shows is pretty lame, compared to ZenDesk, ReAmaze or other helpdesks or live chat apps we've tested. It's raw data and you can't click on any of it.
Intercom has some great solutions and I hope they actually read this review and put forward a more useful app for Shopify stores. This review isn't about their service, it's about their Shopify app.
