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.

Jusqu'à il y a quelques jour l'application était bien, maintenant c'est vraiment nul. Même les clients ne peuvent plus reprendre des discussions qui ont parfois plusieurs mois.
On arrive sur une interface qui ne se mentons pas ne sert pas à grand chose. Avant c'était clair et direct, maintenant je dois réfléchir pour trouver ce même onglet. Je vais probablement changer d'outil de discussion. Sauf si on me propose une méthode pour revenir à l'ancienne version.

Merci for the feedback. Losing the thread of a conversation is exactly what we are fixing. A new Inbox setting lets customers share their name and email to start a chat, like the previous Inbox, so conversations stay connected to a contact you can reply to. It is rolling out to all stores now under Sales channels > Inbox > Chat settings > Collect customer details. Choose Require name and email there (the other options are Require customers to sign-in and Allow anonymous chats). One note: this applies to chats with your team. The AI agent still answers anonymous visitors instantly, by design, so customers get help in seconds even while you are offline. We default to sign-in because it confirms the customer owns the email they leave, but you can now choose the simpler path for your store.

Die App macht was sie soll. Sowohl die Einstellmöglichkeiten für automatische Antworten wie auch die Nachrichtenbearbeitung selber ist durchdacht und funktioniert gut.

Einen kleinen Verbesserungsvorschlag hätte ich noch: Die App zeigt, wie üblich, an wieviel Nachrichten noch nicht gelesen worden sind. Das ist aber meisten irrelevant. Richtig gut wäre ein Posteingang wo man möglichst leicht oder standardmäßig nur die Nachrichten angezeigt bekommt auf die noch niemand geantwortet hat. Das ist nämlich in der Kundenbetreuung ausschlaggebend: unbeantworte Anfragen.

The Shopify Inbox AI agent has real potential and is a genuine step up from the previous Inbox (which was limited to live chat management). But several issues still need fixing before it can be used reliably in production.

1. Response language
The AI has replied in English even though the entire conversation was in French.

2. Inconsistency depending on how the question is phrased
Two questions with the same intent, phrased differently, don't give the same answer: one omits relevant information/product, the other doesn't. This is a real reliability concern if the result depends so heavily on the customer's exact wording.

3. Hallucinated non-existent link
On certain requests, the AI tries to share a link to a page that doesn't exist at all on our site. How can this type of URL hallucination be avoided?

4. Scope of learning
Does the training/learning happen only at the conversation level, or does it also benefit future conversations?

5. Disabling the AI mid-conversation
After disabling the AI agent while a conversation was in progress, it kept being handled by the AI despite the box being unchecked. Is this a bug?

6. Limited training options
For training, with Knowledge Base you can suggest answers, but not suggest new questions in the scenarios. Is this planned? We also don't have control over selecting/correcting which data source is used, which is surprising.

Overall, a great tool at first glance, but one that still needs a lot of foundational work. Looking forward to updates. In the meantime, to get reliable answers, I'm forced to use another paid tool instead of this native, free one.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We reviewed the issues you raised against the actual conversations on your store and have shared the findings with our engineering team who are actively digging into the underlying causes to fix them.

To clarify two points: The training/learning will benefit future conversations and also allow our background agent to suggest improved Agent persona if that will be more helpful for representing your business to buyers accurately. Also, yes we are planning to surface more questions in Knowledge Base based on the conversations buyers have with your agent.

We appreciate the thorough testing and candid feedback. This is exactly the kind of input that helps us make the product more reliable.

Shopify Inbox is easy to set up and helps me communicate with customers quickly. The chat features are useful, and it works well with my Shopify store.

It worked great when I first set it up, but following an update in late July, things changed; the AI no longer responds, meaning a human has to answer every message from customers—which makes the work much harder. Please revert the app to how it was before; the previous setup was excellent, and the AI assistant handled the job much better. Now it’s too basic and doesn't work effectively. Please go back to the way it used to be.

Das neueste Update, ist komplett Unsinnig.
Das Annonymisieren des Kunden, verhindert aktiv, dass Probleme schnell und unkompliziert gelöst werden können. Kunden die ein Problem haben, können nicht nachvollziehen, warum wir den Namen, bzw. das Kundenkonto nicht sehen können. Auch das Kontaktaufnehmen mit dem Kunden im Nachgang (wenn sich der Kunde außerhalb der Betriebszeiten meldet) gestaltet sich unheimlich schwierig, da ich den Kunden nicht einmal ansprechen kann oder ihm sein Kundenkonto aufrufen kann.

Das führt zu deutlich schlechteren Servicebewertungen - Bitte hier unbedingt nachbessern

Vielen Dank for the detailed feedback. You are right that anonymous chats make it hard to help customers and to reach them after hours. A new Inbox setting now lets customers share their name and email to start a chat, like the previous Inbox, so you can see who you are talking to and follow up by email. It is rolling out to all stores now under Sales channels > Inbox > Chat settings > Collect customer details. Choose Require name and email there (the other options are Require customers to sign-in and Allow anonymous chats). One note: this applies to chats with your team.

Thanks Mark, and following up on my email: what I said we were working on is now shipping. Customers can share their name and email to start a chat, like the previous Inbox, so visitors are identified again without any login. It is rolling out to all stores now under Sales channels > Inbox > Chat settings > Collect customer details. Choose Require name and email there (the other options are Require customers to sign-in and Allow anonymous chats). One note: this applies to chats with your team. The AI agent still answers anonymous visitors instantly, by design, so customers get help in seconds even while you are offline. We default to sign-in because it confirms the customer owns the email they leave, but you now have the choice. Reply to my email if it does not appear on your store this week.

var vild med denne app indtil den blev opdateret. totalt uprofessionelt setup nu - man kan ikke se hvem man chatter med og træningen med agenten er mangelfuld og man kan ikke få rullet de oprindelige indstillinger tilbage - så fra at den var til 5 stjerner er den nu kun til 0 stjerner - hvis jeg kunne give det! Troede Shopify skulle udvikle apps til det bedre - men det er ikke tilfældet.

Muligheden for at se, hvem man chatter med – uden krav om login – nu er implementeret - men kun gældende når chatten er live - ikke når agenten overtager. Det betyder også en masse anonyme besøgende som stiller dumme spørgsmål og kommer med forkerte svar selv om instruktioner og faq er oprettet ?? Mega dårligt udviklingsarbejde. Den kan ikke længere bruges. Stadig 0 stjerner.
