Gorgias: AI, Helpdesk & Chat

Very disappointing experience with Gorgias. My access to the service was cancelled without explanation, yet my credit card continued to be charged for two months while I couldn’t use it. Despite reaching out, I received no response or explanation for why my access was removed or why the charges continued. In my experience, this is unprofessional and unacceptable. I’ve lost trust in Gorgias and would not recommend them. Not to be trusted, when things goes south they don't care about your business. But happy to keep taking your money. ZERO STAR

Really want to like this app given all the previous great reviews, but we are struggling with it. #1 - We use it for the most basic task: centralizing our e-mail helpdesk. But so far, we have run into issues with emails not syncing between GMail & Gorgias, we can't see replies that we sent via Gorgias in GMail which makes the experience super confusing because we cannot easily tell what we have replied to vs. not etc. #2 - I am sure the issues can be worked through, but what makes is even more challenging is that it is impossible to get on a support call and show the issues we are running into & get quick help making sure our setup is correct. Everything happens over chat. And while the team is fairly responsive over chat, most of the issues we are running into are complex enough that it feels like we are not getting anything resolved. For a helpdesk app, it is very disappointing that we cannot get the help we need to be successful. The schedule a help call calendar is booked 2 weeks out. #3 - The worst is even once we have a chat going with their team, the chat window disappears on its own and once you are out of the chat, there is no way to get back to it!

Solid customer support, includes features we need, great options for adjustments.

Our favorite chat tool we have tried. It is not cheap but for the features it provides it works really well. Have been using Gorgias for 2.5+ years and happy with the service and so are our customers.

In response to Gorgias' response- DO NOT USE THIS APP IN THE NEAR FUTURE. Since my original review we now have had several people reply to our emails and customer support requests, but all they've done so far is confirm that the system isn't working in the ways we're saying that it's not working. The phone system kicks agents off calls when new calls come in, the email import timed out after days of trying to import emails, then wiped our account clean when the import failed, when emails are uploaded we're getting duplicate emails in multiple boxes so agents are doing double work and stepping on each other's toes, our user accounts were all deleted over the weekend and nobody knows why, you can't leave an after hours message, etc... like I said before it's a great idea but a HORRIBLE execution. At this point we're trying to get our money back for the time we paid for the service that's worse than unusable- it's making our agent's jobs harder and wasting our tech team's time. Hopefully with the $30MM they just raised they can actually build the service that they're selling. And Connor used a free gift for listening to the pitch offer to get my attention then never sent the gift and hasn't replied to any of my emails after the account sign up was completed. He got his sale and was done with us. ******* Original Review: It's a great idea and they sell it well but it doesn't work and nobody calls you back. Starting with the salesperson, Connor who makes promises that the company doesn't keep, to the implementation team that disappears before the integrations are working, to the system itself that isn't ready for use (no hold function on the phones and when a call comes in and an agent is on the phone it kicks the agent off the current call and gives them the new call) gorgias is a huge disappointment. I never write bad reviews, btw but all of our emails to anyone in the company are go unanswered and the executive team isn't reachable on linkedin or any other way. Hopefully this review will get someone's attention at gorgias and they can fix this situation.

This app smells scammy all over the place. Used it for a while, but it got to complex. Then trying to get out, is not easy. No delete account button, and you need to chat with them. And how is that going? Not good at all, since they are stalling,... stalling.... stalling....

Horrible customer support. This is very strange because this is a customer support app, but it looks like they have to work more on improving their support!

Sent us an email to say they are TRIPLING the price we pay. Disgusting how they treat customers! Don't do it. They are too big to support startups now. This is an enterprise app these days.

One of the worst apps to use for customer service. 1. They updated how they pull in comments for Instagram ads without notifying us and started charging based on # of ads which is ridiculous 2. Their support "live" team is horrible - take 10-20 minutes to reply to each message. Will send one half-assed response, I'll reply to the chat right away, will not reply again for another 10-20 minutes. How is this "Live" support? How can a customer support platform have horrible customer support? STAY AWAY FROM THESE CROOKS

Can't send SMS. It's been weeks and they still haven't fixed it. I rely on this heavily and no one knows when or if there will ever be a resolution. I'm losing clients because I can't operate fully.

Im leaving for something more professional. - The phone app doesn't work and is seriously lacking basic feature - The phone app is full of bugs. - The App is also buggy as hell. - Every time you send a message it closes it. causing a new "Billable Ticket" to be created. Which they then charge you for - Their Customer service is terrible. - When they update there application is changes your settings which for me caused billable tickets to be created. Which they then charge you for These guys are the kings of "Extra charges" they update there application to get more money out of you without mentioning. ive had to be on my toes this last year just to stop them form taking all my money. Ive had enough of this. I gave these guys a chance but they just too unprofessional. I would highly avoid these unless you fancy just giving all your money to them

Not really understanding some of the recent negative reviews of Gorgias. This is hands down the best customer service app we've used and it is constantly improving to keep up with the changing nature of support. We are a Shopify Plus user with five stores running through a single Gorgias account and the experience is seamless. Add to this a transparent product road map with the ability for users to upvote and suggest improvements, along with a very responsive customer support team, and you've got yourself the best support app for your Shopify store.

Gorgias has been so helpful in managing our inbox and providing better support to our customers. They are so responsive and willing to help build workflows/rules and layouts that better support our support team. I've worked with Gorgias on other clients, and they all love what the helpdesk has had to offer.

Be careful. If you turn on auto-reply they will count it towards your billable tickets. There is no clearly visible disclaimer when turning on this rule. We incurred over $700 in overage fees which they are not willing to refund although we have been a Gorgias customer for years and have spent thousands with them. Hopefully this review will save someone else this grief. Feeling scammed.

Love this app. Great software and customer service. Integrates well with my tech stack (Shopify etc.).

The agents I have interacted with were very knowledgeable and quick with their responses to my requests. Thank you!

I love Gorgias! The app is perfectly integrated with Shopify, couldn't live without it. And their customer service responds in a few hours (normal you will say for a customer service app x) Keep it up!

Honestly can't imagine life without Gorgias now! It saves so much time as we have templates for all of the most common customer service questions, and we've created an online help centre where customers can find replies to common queries without having to get in touch, which has further reduced the number if enquiries. The support team at Gorgias are really helpful and friendly too. Would definitely recommend :)

Their support team is always there to help. Can't thank the team enough. Highly recommend Gorgias to any company utilizing Shopify as their helpdesk.

Their team has been providing support and assistance ，and responding to questions in a timely manner. Then will also consider our actual usage when handing over more features to us!
