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.

Very poorly designed app. Missing alot of key features!! would suggest looking into another messaging app
Hi RealtorShop.ca
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience with Shopify Chat.
Our team is constantly adding new features and looking for ways to build on the app. I'm going to reach out to you personally over email to get your thoughts on what you'd like to see improved and I'll be sure to pass that along to our team. :)
Take care,
Ellis from Ping and Kit Support.
Shopify, please get rid of the "Leave a number and we'll text you back as soon as we're available (an email address works too)." It's constantly showing, even when the store owner is not 'away'. It signifies to the customer that we're unavailable when we are.
Also, consider putting an end chat feature on the store owners end, automatic options and also button controlled. So the customer knows the chat's ended when it has. On the customers screen it seems like continuous messaging, but on the shop owners screen, its a different visitor and a whole new chat.
Please look into these, your almost there.
Hi AVAGADA,
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Since Shopify Chat is a live chat feature, and we know our merchants are often busy and cannot get to visitor conversations immediately at all times, we wanted to provide a way for visitors to leave some information so that you, the merchant, can continue the conversation at your convenience and potentially capture that sale. However, you make a great point that it could potentially signify to the visitor that you're not available and is definitely something I will bring forward to the team.
We're always looking for ways to build upon and improve our product, so this feedback is really appreciated.
I'm going to reach out to you personally over email to get some more of your thoughts on what you'd like to see moving forward.
Take care,
Ellis from Ping and Kit Support.
App does not open on my android phone, clients as asking questions and I am losing sales thanks to this very bad app. Much better pay for something else.

I have to uninstall it and install it over and over again every time I want to open it to reply to a customer. Till I do all that, a customer is gone.
Hello Ploocy, thank you for your feedback! Our apologies for the issues having to install repeatedly. We have a fix now for the recent bugs in the app, please update to version 1.1.9 so you have the latest fixes.
I'll get in touch soon to see how it's going and if you have any further feedback. Thanks for trying Shopify chat!
Best regards

Doesn't appear to be any way to set availability on IOS either, and that is very frustrating. Customers are reaching out at all times of the night we are not able to answer at those times.
Hello Conscious Ink, thank you so much for your feedback!
On IOS, you can set chat availability in your app settings, but the Android version does not have this feature yet. We are working on adding more options and features in the near future, so definitely keep your app up to date!
Feel free to reach out to our team if you need anything or if you have further feedback. You can reach us directly at ping@shopify.com. Thank you!
Hope that helps.

Early days as we have only just installed this app on our online hat shop: fascinatorsdirect.co.uk
The Shopify live chat app seems easy to use and it's free which is great but you will need to download Shopify ping to reply to your customers.
It's quite basic compared to some other paid apps and it lacks to ability to customise the appearance which is a shame. Hopefully, Shopify will improve the app over time.
Hello Fascinators Direct, thank you very much for your review and feedback!
Yes, in order to answer visitor queries on your site on your mobile device, the Ping app is required to download - although that is also free from the Google Play store or the Apple App store. :-)
We are working to improve Shopify Chat and release new ways to customize the widget. Please keep your app updated so you can benefit from the new features!
Again, thanks for your feedback, it is really appreciated!
Best regards,

Good functionality - easy to install.
Would like the seamless ability to manage the chats on a desktop.
Most other live chats have this.

Hello The Cupcake Queens, thank you so much for your review and feedback ideas!
The desktop version is a great idea, many merchants are requesting this. :-) Keep your app up to date and hopefully that feature will be in a future release. Thank you for trying it and hoping it leads to even more conversions for you!
Get in touch with our team directly if you need anything else.

Poor customisation, chat message received time lag, overly complex sales channels with apple chat and messenger. Could be greatly improved, now we are looking into a third party chat option. Also just don't like the aesthetic of the chat button.
Hello A.BCH, thank you for your honest feedback and review!
We are always improving the app, taking merchant feedback like yours is very serious business for us. We will be addressing several of your concerns in future releases, so would love for you to keep the app or come back to it later.
If you wish to share more of your super helpful feedback, feel free to reach out to our team directly at ping@shopify.com. Thank you!
Best regards.

Have to have this app available for Android users, however I can see A LOT of the functionality that's available with the iOS version is missing. Any time frame when we can expect to see these features matched?
Hello Trini Jungle Juice Store, thank you very much for your review and feedback! Yes, the Android version is a little slimmer, but we are working on adding the same functionality currently available in the IOS version. I don't have a time frame, but tools will be released gradually after full testing.
Keep your app updated and you will soon be able to enjoy some more new features. Thanks again for your feedback!
Best,
