What Merchants Think

The Intercom: AI Customer Service app receives mixed reviews from merchants, with appreciation for its seamless integration and the potential to enhance customer service. While the app integrates well with Shopify and provides a centralized communication hub, merchants have noted several areas for improvement, particularly in integration performance and functionality for e-commerce businesses.

Key Strengths

  • Easy and seamless installation and integration with Shopify.
  • Effective centralized platform for live chat and customer support communication.
  • Multistore beta provides excellent multistore data handling.
  • Enables customers to access order details directly, reducing inquiry volume.

Common Concerns

  • Significant slowdowns in website loading times after app installation.
  • Lacks advanced integration features needed for e-commerce operations.
  • Limited ability to customize without additional development work.
  • Poor data synchronization between Shopify and Intercom, issues with customer data importation.
  • Pricing considered expensive for retention of contact data.
  • Current app version listed as "Unsupported" within Shopify.

Final Thoughts

The Intercom: AI Customer Service app has potential to be a robust tool for enhancing customer service communication, particularly through its easy integration and centralized management features. However, its current limitations, particularly in performance speed and e-commerce-specific functionalities, have affected its reception. Addressing these issues could significantly enhance its value for merchants using Shopify.

The multistore beta is working great and will be a huge asset as we continue expanding globally. That said, there are a couple of areas that could be improved: It would be helpful to have clearer visual distinctions—such as more detailed labels or color-coding—between stores. When creating new orders through Intercom, there’s currently no way to enter or select a customer address, which can lead to fulfillment delays. Looking forward to future updates—this has the potential to be a game-changer for our operations.

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.

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!

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.

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.
