What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants highlight the AI agent as a major upgrade that syncs with store data to give accurate, brand‑aligned answers and reduce repetitive support. Many report faster responses, better customer experience, and higher conversions, especially with strong FAQs. They value deep store integration, email follow‑up, and mobile access, plus flexible settings for availability and lead capture. Several note reliable performance, improved notifications, and responsive development.

This has worked really well for us and our customers seem happy to interact with it. Sometimes they ask bland questions but that may be to check a human is involved with the support.

The app really seems great and was an exciting prospect for our store, but unfortunately there's currently a killer flaw: the inability to turn off pre chat form. Requesting a visitor's name and email before talking with them first will greatly reduce the number of people that contact us. People are wary to share their information and it's an unnecessary first step. Hopefully Shopify developers will make it possible to turn off this feature soon.

Hi, thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback here with us. I definitely understand your perspective and can see how the form may deter visitors from wanting to start the live chat in the first place. I'll submit your thoughts as feedback to our internal development team, so that they're aware of the need to customize or disable the form within the Inbox app. Thanks! -Kimi, Shopify Support

It's easy to use and notifies you when customers message you. The only thing I wish it did is text you when someone reaches out. They do have an app, though!

Incredible app on so many levels. Shopify has done a good job keeping the app incredibly simple, easy to use and cross-device. That being said, this app lacks some very basic integration tools that knock it down from 5 to 3 stars. It would be amazing if it could do something as simple as integrate with Google sheets for reporting, Slack for notification and team tracking, etc. A Zapier integration would be really appreciated!

We needed a simple chat plugin that was easy to onboard and Shopify Inbox met those needs perfectly. It was easy to onboard and customize and it being a free app for us to try live chat with was also a big selling feature. We do miss the integration with messenger though!

A great app, especially as it's free. It's missing just one thing that would make it on par with many of the chat systems that charge $$$

Add email piping. So sending an email to a specific email address creates a conversation. This would make this premium, easily.

So far it's been an extremely helpful app. When customers make an inquiry my phone app pings so I can answer it right away. Customers are loving the direct contact. I love having a written record of the inquiries for reference. Customers who take the time to ask a question oftentimes end up making a purchase soon after. It will be interesting to see the reduction in abandoned shopping carts due to customers getting their questions answered quickly and knowing they can contact a human which builds trust.

I love it! It takes away all the junk and sales emails although they are sneaking in here and there! It makes the conversation flow and doesn't get lost in emails! It makes our customer experience much better!

For a free app it works fine. If basic message templates were added for instant answers that would save us a lot of time. Other apps have them. Easy, peasy.
