Let's look at the functions in detail.

Real -time chat

SHOPIFY INBOX allows you to exchange in real time in chatting.


Customers who visit EC sites can increase the conversion rate by immediately asking questions or answering questions about products and stores.


It is one of the most important functions as a chat function mounted on the site, but I am grateful that it can be used for free!

In real -time chat, you need to decide the time of the staff to answer first. SHOPIFY INBOX allows you to determine your time every day.

Example: Weekdays 10:00 to 17:00

However, it is important to note that holidays cannot be set.

If you can't respond, hide the chat itself or change the time setting.


You can also set automatic reply words to respond from the first staff to respond smoothly.

Since it can be set in real time during the corresponding time and outside the time, you can immediately inform the customer who sent the chat about the response.

Automatic Q & A settings

When you open a chat from the site, you may have seen a frequently asked question, and you may have seen the function that displays the answer when you click on the question.


SHOPIFY INBOX also has a function under the name of a quick answer!

The demo chat column is displayed on the right side of the setting screen, so it is also a good point that it is easy to set.

Phrase settings

It is hard for the chat -compatible staff to make similar words every time.

In such a case, the quick reply function is useful. By creating a phrase template for reply in advance with this function, you will be able to reply immediately.

Cooperation with mobile apps

Inquiries by chat can be confirmed and reply from smartphones and tablet devices by linking with apps.


It is very convenient to be able to confirm from multiple devices.
