What Merchants Think

The "tawk.to Live Chat" app receives mixed reviews from merchants. Many users appreciate its comprehensive features and free cost, while others face issues with its setup, branding, and support. The app offers a range of functionalities, but the execution and user experience seem to fall short for some users.

Key Strengths

  • Comprehensive feature set surpassing other chat systems.
  • Cost-effective, offers many functionalities for free.

Common Concerns

  • Pervasive branding that is difficult to remove, requiring a paid option.
  • Lack of accessible customer support, primarily AI-based with few opportunities to speak directly to a representative.
  • Difficulties with widget customization and setup, requiring visits to Tawk.to's website rather than integration within Shopify.
  • Persisting installation code even after attempting to uninstall the app.

Final Thoughts

The "tawk.to Live Chat" app is praised for its robust features and affordability, which make it appealing to some merchants. However, the app faces criticism for its intrusive branding, inadequate support, and clunky interface. Its value proposition for a free app is significant, but merchants looking for a more seamless or customized solution might face challenges with its current capabilities.

Terrible service with no support. This app uses a foreign API, so even after uninstalling the app, the code remains. Changing themes doesn’t resolve the issue either. Avoid this app at all costs!

There is button placed outside of the widget. We can't fix this. Customer support is AI, You don't get to speak to a human unless you schedule a meeting. We don't want a meeting!

App installed just fine and even after I enabled the app in my theme, the app settings just keeps showing me to Configure widget to be shown in store.

Like many have said, the interface is quite clunky. It could definitely use an update. Features are nice, but the Shopify data sync leaves lots to be desired. My biggest gripe (and reason for uninstalling) is their branding is everywhere. Everywhere. It's not a simple, subtle "powered by x" like other providers. No. It boldly advertises its own product and redirects customers away from your site. In the main chat window, for example, there's a huge button right above the text field that is almost impossible not to accidentally click and be redirected to tawk.to. It is extremely unprofessional. Not to mention, not a very classy practice from tawk.to. And honestly, greedy and a waste of resources. Most consumers are not needing a chat app, so there's no point in tawk.to using it's own customers to try and siphon consumers to their site to begin with. Anyway. I'm uninstalling. It's not worth paying $20 a month just to remove the disrespectful advertising.

I used this App quite some time ago and uninstalled because I was frustrated with its cumbersome workings. BUT the widget on the bottom right of my website would not go away. SO I reinstalled it and still was having issues with the operations of Tawk. I Uninstalled again, and that darn widget is still on my screen. I know it is from Tawk because if I click it and send a test message, the message will come to my email with the logo of Tawk. Now I uninstalled it, so this APP writes a code on your Theme. I am very frustrated because I want to get another Chat App that will work better for me but the new App widget sits partially on top of the Tawk widget and it looks so unprofessional. I've reached out to Tawk Support for them to remove whatever code is stuck behind but they are not responding to me. So I feel left high & dry. It is unnerving to have code left behind, especially when it messes with my Homepage. Tawk Support ... help me and I will revise this review. PLEASE!
