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.

we really enjoy this app, will it send us notifications re: customers that have not ordered in a while or when there is an abandoned checkout so we can follow up?
Hello ActivKare, thank you very much for your 5 star review and feedback! Are you using Shopify Ping on desktop yet? It is now available at shopifyping.com as an option for responding to chats instead of your phone device.
At this time there is not a feature that will notify you of customers who have not ordered in awhile or when there is an abandoned checkout. There is however an abandoned checkout feature built into Shopify, so definitely take advantage of that! For repeat customer insights, you can look into your analytics in Shopify, or download an app if you need something automated.
Feel free to reach out to our team if you have any Shopify Chat or Shopify Ping related questions, ping@shopify.com.
Hope that helps! Get in touch if you need anything else.
Warm regards,

My biggest problem with this app is that you cannot turn it off after hours. You will have customers messaging you at all hours of the night. Only a small percentage of chat customers convert. Due to the high volume of messages I have been receiving 24 hours a day, I decided to remove the chat from my website. However, when I removed the app properly, the Chat icon did not disappear from the front of my website. I contacted Shopify (because it is their app) and they tried to pawn me off on my Theme developers. Now I have customers trying to use a chat that does not work, resulting in ugly emails. Follow up 11/11/20:
This Chat icon is still on my site. Shopify support keeps telling me they removed it, but the icon is still there (only it does not work). We have cleared our cache repeatedly from several different computers, and icon is present. This is the worst customer service.
Hello Willow Lane Hat Co., thank you very much for your honest feedback and review.
Sorry you did not have a great experience with Shopify support. I see your issue was escalated to our technical support team and it looks like they have successfully removed the icon. Thank you for your patience while they looked into the reason it did not remove automatically.
Your feedback is very helpful and we will be integrating more options soon, that will address exactly what you are referring to.
Thank you for trying the app!
Best regards,

I would like to be able to disable where chat tells me a person is back online. If that is going to pop up everytime someone logs back in that will be annoying
Hello Lotus Energy, thank you for your review and very valuable feedback!
The notification for when a person is back online was implemented so you don't miss any opportunities for chatting - we were hoping that would not be too disruptive. However, you should only receive a sound notification and red dot if the customer leaves a new message, and that new message will be at the top of the chain.
Your feedback is valuable, so I will still take that to our product team, thank you!
If you need any clarification or have any questions, feel free to contact our team directly at ping@shopify.com or via the support section of your Shopify Ping app.

This is trash. Magically dropped off the store. Tried to reinstall, doesn't work. chat link takes you to a page asking you to load the app. What a load of sh1t.
Hello Meindl Australia, thank you very much for letting us know the app was not working for you.
I will follow up with a direct email to you and see if we can work together on this issue. I'm not sure what you mean by it dropping off the store, so hopefully you can provide some more details so I can troubleshoot for you. Thank you!

Can't set opening hours and the notification does not work every times. better just when its closed let costumers write email right away or send on Messenger
Hi Ledimporten,
Thanks for taking the time to submit feedback and a review!
Currently, only iOS users are able to set hours of availability within the Shopify Ping app for Shopify Chat. We understand how this is an important feature for merchants and our developers are working this feature on Android and Web/desktop. I don't have an exact date for when this feature will be available on Android. But keep an eye out for app updates!
If you have any questions issues or additional feedback, please feel free to reach us at ping@shopify.com. We continually work towards making Shopify Chat a better app and rely on your feedback!
Thanks again,

Easy to install and comfortably running with KIT Ping on my mobile. My country Austria is not included yet in the SMS service but I would prefer mobile chat so this is the better option anyway.

Einfach zu installieren und läuft komfortabel mit KIT Ping auf meinem Handy. Österreich ist nicht im SMS Service enthalten, aber ich bevorzuge eh den mobilen Chat also ist es so eh die bessere Option für mich.
Hello EGOECO!
Thank you for the five star review! So glad you found the app was easy to install and use with Shopify Ping. Shopify Chat conversations can be managed through Shopify Ping app on iOS, Android or Web (http://shopifyping.com/).
If you have any other feedback or questions, please reach out to our team: ping@shopify.com.
Thanks again!

If you use iOS, this app is great! If not, move on. I was excited to use this app because it integrates so well with the rest of Shopify, however many of the features are only available if you are using the iOS app (availability hours, saved replies, link to products and discounts, etc). Desktop and Android only give you access to the basic chat without the ability to edit any of the settings or more advanced chat options. Hopefully they update the desktop interface to include the ability to manage settings and full chat options, because everything else about it looked really promising and easy to use. Installation was very easy, the only issue is that the chat button is enabled automatically before you've customized any settings. It's easy to disable so just be aware to do that if you are not ready to start customer chats right away.
Hello Socksmith, thank you for the honest feedback and detailed review!
While we don't currently have all the features available across all platforms, our Developers are working on releasing iOS features across all Shopify Ping platforms (iOS, Android and Web) later this year. I hope that once all features are available on Android, you'll give Shopify Chat another try! Feel free to update your review once you give Shopify Chat another chance.
