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.

It's an okay start, but the browser based functionality is where we need to be.
As it stands, you can't even set a conversation to closed from a browser.
Piping everything thorough a phone app means you're forcing a company to use someone's personal device to monitor messages, rather than having a team take care of it.
Hi Little Shop of Magic, thank you for the review and feedback!
Although the app functionality seem limited at this time for our Web users (shopifyping.com), we are working releasing all features, message management, across all platforms (iOS, Android and Web) throughout the year. We recently released the ability to assign conversations to Staff for Web. Keep your app version up to date to see those releases.
If you ever need any assistance with the app, or have further feedback and suggestions, feel free to contact our team directly at ping@shopify.com.
Kind regards,

I would give it 5 stars but for the fact, if a person leaves an email you cant copy and paste it into the email from the top of the app. If a person types their email into the conversation then pressing this does in fact open the email app so you can email. It's a little annoying.
Hi BWS LTD, thank you for submitting a review and feedback!
It's the details that matter, right? Having the option to copy the email from the customer information capture form is a great suggestion. I will be sending your feedback to Shopify Chat developers.
If you ever need any help, have questions or even more feedback, feel free to reach out to our team via the support link in the app, or directly at ping@shopify.com.

I love this app. It's great that I can chat using the app and my customers receive messages as texts once they are offline. I would give this 5 stars if I could change the prompts. "Check order status" is not relevant to my customers and confuses them. Pls change the coding to allow shop owners to add different conversation starters.
Hello Plant Gather, thank you for your thoughtful review and feedback!
I'm so glad that you are loving the app so far! And, find it convenient to communicate with customers. Being able to enable/disable the automated order look-up feature along with adding additional automated flows is a great suggestion! I will be sharing this feedback with our Developers.

I really wanted to like this app. Integration with Apple Messages works well, it looks good and everything is centralised on Ping. Plus it’s free. However, just turning this app on instantly kills my pagespeed score! It’s loading webfonts, google captchas, jquery and a bunch of other stuff. Plus I have no control over it. There should be an option to manually insert chat onto the theme, so I could get some control on how it’s loaded. Or options to disable chat on mobile version (it’s where it’s most noticeable the performance hit). Or please do anything really about performance, I want to use this app and chat service but as it is it’s simple impossible.
Hello Arda Suppliers, thank you for your honest review and feedback.
We understand how important page speed is for our Merchants and this feedback is valuable. I will be sharing it with the Developers.

Enjoyed this app, but staff can't respond: ("you dont have permission ). Already sent invite, but still same message.
Hi Optique Prima, thank you for your review and feedback!
Staff accounts are able to connect with Shopify Ping to respond to customers via Shopify Chat however, they will need specific permissions set within the Shopify Admin. Here is the link to the help doc that lists the required permissions: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/ping/setup. I will send you a personal email to ensure that your staff is set up right!
If you are pleased with the app, feel free to update your review. And, if you ever need any help with Shopify Ping or Apple Business Chat or Shopify Chat, get in touch with our fabulous customer service team at ping@shopify.com

good and easy, simple to install and desktop version also available. It can be installed on any mobile device too
Hi Wayanad Green Fresh, thank you for the 5 star review!
I'm so glad to hear that you found installation and using the app easy! We always recommend that users should install Shopify Ping app on a mobile device in addition to using our desktop version of Ping (shopifyping.com) - that way notification won't be missed!

Please provide the option to start minimized instead of just popping up.
This could be experienced a bit too pushy for the visitor and have a negative impact.
Hello RETRO VERSO, thank you for review and feedback!
I will be sending your feedback to Shopify Chat developers. One thing to note, a first time visitor will see the collapsed chat widget. The chat window will appear expanded to customers who are returning to the store within 7 days of their previous visit.

Its a beloved feature for our customers. If only the app would support notification for multiple stores - that is so important for us and I guess many other multiple store owners.
Hi ZARKOPERFUME, thank you for review and feedback!
I'm so pleased you are using the app to establish connections with your customers. We have received similar feedback that merchants would like to use Shopify Ping on multiple stores. Although this is not a feature that is currently available (our developers are looking into this), I do have a work around. If you have two devices - like an Ipad and Iphone - you can use each device to log into separate stores.
Hoping this leads to increased conversations and conversions.
All the best,

The app works well, however it would be much better if there were scheduled times it was On or Off for when we cannot respond.
Hello Science Supplements - The Equine Nutrition Specialists, thank you for the review and feedback.
We understand how important the hours of availability feature is for transparency with customers. While it is possible for iOS users to set up Chat Hours Availability for Shopify Ping, we are hoping to have this feature available to Android users in the coming months.
As always, keep Shopify Ping app up to date for all of the latest releases and bug fixes. If you ever need any help with Shopify Ping or Apple Business Chat or Shopify Chat, get in touch with our fabulous customer service team at ping@shopify.com

Having an in-store chat option definitely increases customer engagement, and we have had a few extra customers purchase due to the chat, which might not have otherwise. It'd be great if the app had the option to add/edit hours of availability for the chat, so folks don't just sit around wondering when they'll get a response, but for what it is, it does its job well.
Hello RiceRoadGreenhouses, thank you for the detailed 5-star review!
I love to hear that Shopify Chat has led to sales. And, it will hopefully lead to more! Shopify Ping does offer availability hours, which is set up in the Ping app. Availability hours let the customers know that you are away, but it does not prevent customers from chatting in. Here is a link to the help doc explaining how to set it up: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/ping/setup#set-your-chat-availability
