Merchants describe this as a fast, professional way to handle customer support that improves the shopping experience and boosts conversions. They like the clean, intuitive interface, deep Shopify integration, and reliable notifications. Real-time chat with rich customer context and organized histories helps manage multiple conversations. The AI agent is praised for accurate, brand‑aligned answers that cut repetitive work, with some calling it a must‑have compared to similar apps.

I run my business mostly by myself right now. This app makes me seem like I have a team ready to help customers at most any time.

Very good way to have communication with our clients. The way to send emails to our clients would be missing, since we pay for our own domain and I do not have that option

We used this app for a few months and found some serious limitations. One, it's not possible to search for or within conversations. That means you could have a conversation with a customer and not be able to find it unless you scroll through all conversations and find it manually. Or worse, if you have multiple chats from the same customer, you have to re-read all of them until you find the specific conversation piece you're looking for to confirm that you say the same thing again. Using the Shopify Inbox app through a mobile phone doesn't let you type more than a few lines before you lose the "send" button and can't send the message. We found a work-around (type the message, then close the chat, then re-open the chat to see the send button) but it's really clunky and not well thought through. Lastly, when we remove the app we'll have no record of any chat conversations because the chat transcripts were never emailed to our email inbox as promised. That's a complete fail that really limits the ongoing use.

We appreciate you taking the time to reach out and write your review so that you could share some of the pain points you've had with Shopify Inbox thus far. I can certainly see why a lack of a search function makes browsing your conversations difficult, and why not being able to type longer messages on mobile before losing the "send" button is far from ideal.

Our development team welcome feedback from merchants and I will be sure to pass on all of your suggestions to them for their perusal. Thank you for getting in touch. -Victor, Shopify Support

This app is easy and it works. As suggestions for improvement: a) it would be helpful to be able to create folders for organizing chats
b) it would be helpful to have a filter that would let me see chats assigned to others.

The app is fantastic however the only downside is the tracking details lack information. It just tells you that the order is either fullfilled or unfulfilled which is insufficient for clients.

This app does what I expect it to do. It allows my customers to ask me questions directly from my website.

I really like being able to chat live with my customers! It's a handy feature that I use quite often. However I continue to get a lot of spam. I wish that could be controlled.

This has helped us convert looky-lous into customers in just minutes. The app is great and customers are always so happy to have quick responses from us since we allow notifications on our phones.

This app is great! It allows consistent communication with your customers and it's easy to use. I only wish it would send customer's message to my email when I'm not available.

So glad to hear you're enjoying the app! If you receive a message from your customers when you are logged out of Shopify, you should be receiving an email notification by default. This would be sent to all staff members with Inbox permissions, so I'd recommend double checking those settings if you aren't receiving the emails. If everything looks good there, feel free to reach out at inbox@shopify.com, and we'd be happy to help you troubleshoot that! - Brie, Shopify Support
