20 most recentUnfortunately the app is very poor. We started facing issues from day one, whatsapp would not connect and keep disconnecting, the support were saying it is a fault on our end even though it is all set up correctly and used to work fine with a different app. Eventually they have agreed that it is their fault and been resolving it for about 3 weeks now, I am constantly on the chat telling them something doesn't work again. Automations do not work either, the support even though they reply quickly, they do not offer any quick fixes, everything is taking weeks. We have now paid £80 monthly fee for an app that can not provide us with automations and whatsapp integration - these were 2 things we needed this app for. I haven't tried any other features, but the two features we have tried are both broken. This has costs us so much time in setting it up, chatting with support and now will have to spend even more time looking for a new app and set it all up all over again.
After Shopify's Inbox sudden fall from grace, this simple and elegant app is being a life saver! The colors are customizable, as well as the texts when first opening the chat, it allows for a small FAQs with quick answers, and you can also customize how much info you need from the customer in order to get back to them later, in my case an email is enough. They also have a Chatbot you can train, though my own shop is strictly non-AI, it can be a great tool for other type of shops. If anything I just wish they had a "Dark mode" instead of a white background, but, it does the job. I'm thankful for this app.
Owner of the app messaged me more than actual customers. 5 missed chats and email transcripts from the owner. Do they not have anything else to do? Kept asking me to leave a review or my opinion. If I had one I would've left my opinion or review at my own accord. Uninstalled the app.
Convenient for chatting. I tried it and it was good.
I would not recommend this company. After I deleted the app due to their co-founder's unprofessional behavior they responded with lies and when confronted with screenshots directly from the co-founder with his tag and photo choose to claim I had the wrong app instead of apologizing and holding him accountable. They have even updated their response several times and continue to email me about deleting my review instead of admitting what he did and making him stop. I even sent them the screenshots where he admits he had my emails but choose to continue anyway hoping to change my review but the company did not care. Since they refuse to hold him accountable I suggest you find a company that will hold staff accountable for bad behavior even if they are a founder. I personally would not trust a company that allows staff to be unprofessional nor their co-founder to lie in order to hide bad behavior.
UPDATE: Premio-Chatway: "I admitted our mistake and said we're sorry" Although this was the response we received in the email, we were saddened to read the company’s statements blaming us. Please also read the other 1-star review. We are experiencing the same issues as Kherish. 1. We don’t encounter this issue with any other popular Shopify chat applications; we’ve tested them all. 2. If you use this app, you will not only face the issue of the X not closing but also experience an infinite scroll problem on your cart page. 3. You will miss out on features like AI-powered responses and great auto-replies based on customer messages. 4. Karina and Marvin won’t trust your screenshots and screen-cast unless you purchase the related device and test it yourself. 5. For two weeks, they made us struggle until Gal, the owner of the company, came and said, “Yes, there’s an issue; let’s fix it.” No action was taken until we gave a 1-star review. 6. The support team ignored our messages, didn’t respond despite reading the messages in chat, and kept sending the same responses. During the conversation, they abruptly ended it with, “If there’s nothing else, we’re closing this" ===================== - We received complaints from customers about the chat balloon not closing after being opened. Despite testing the issue on real devices and providing a video as evidence, Karina, Marvin, and their team refused to acknowledge the problem. - Later, Karina admitted, "I reproduced the issue," which we documented with a screenshot. However, the following day, they claimed, "We didn’t do anything; there’s no issue." - This behavior is consistent with how they’ve handled previous issues—they repeatedly deny problems, even when clear evidence is presented. - They argue that the video recording was taken via a browser, yet the same issue persists on real devices. - Additionally, they have significantly increased their prices. - The application noticeably slows down the website’s performance. - Once this busy period concludes, we plan to switch to a different application.
If there is a survey module would be even greater
It seems like a great app so far, the only downside, is I like being able to download the application on my desktop instead of having to go to through the web browser to use. If they had a separate application I could download for Desktop use, I would rate this 5 stars.
The website chat application has made it super easy for us to connect with our customers in real-time. The interface is simple, responses are instant, and it helps us provide quick support without needing phone calls or long emails. Super easy to integrate
The plugin is pretty good, it works very well.
It’s been so helpful & such a great way for clients to easily ask us questions! And super easy to access our inbox & reply! Definitely recommend!
Just launched our website and Chatway was the perfect solution for our needs. It's a live chat (for free) that customers can use whenever they want. It's the ideal all-in-one inbox!
Super easy to use. Customer support was very helpful. Love having the app on my phone, so I can talk to clients at any time. There are some really cool features like the FAQs. Highly recommend.
