Key features include real-time order visibility, quick navigation to Shopify orders, and consolidated customer data, improving response efficiency.

★★★★★Fuse Lensesfrom United States · 24 March 2022

Shopify has been an amazing tool for us and we are able to access other tools easily to become more efficient. The help we receive is prompt. There are minimal issues using Shopify. Other platforms we have used have been more difficult, not as efficient, or as helpful. This is a great tool for a busy business.

★★★★★Yes.Fitfrom United States · 24 March 2022

We use this app so that our customer service team can see orders that were purchased via our shopify shop. Being able to see the transaction and shipping status without opening shopify allows our customer service team to answer questions regarding their order right away.

★★★★★MPOWERD Inc.from United States · 23 March 2022

We love the Shopify integration with Zendesk. It helps us serve our customers in a timely and accurate way by having access to any prior orders, all in one place. As someone who has not spent a lot of time in the customer service area before, Zendesk made it very easy to learn the platform, access support, and optimize our customer experience.

★★★★★Etekcity • Cosori • Levoit • VeSyncfrom United States · 17 March 2022

We sell on a few different platforms, so it's really nice to just pull up a ticket and see a customer's order history at a glance. It gives a clean, organized view of essential customer info with accessible links to expand their order details, track their order, or refund it on the spot. It's very helpful in providing context for customers we're interacting with.

★★★★★LucyBalufrom Germany · 12 February 2021

Did not work on Safari, but on Chrome the integration worked fine. Seems to be a very good solution to easily link Zendesk and Shopify without coding skills.

    This app worked perfectly, straight away, it literally took 1 min to set up, and our Zendesk account was synced with our entire Shopify store almost immediately. Here's why I think people might be giving a bad review: This app will SYNC Shopify to your existing Zendesk Support account, you also have to install the Shopify app in your Zendesk account. This app won't create a Zendesk Support account for you, so if you don't already have Zendesk setup, it won't work... We do have a Zendesk Support account, so this app worked perfectly for us! And it's pretty amazing really...

    We signed up with Zendesk to implement faster customer service. It's nice to be able to use a real live agent to chat with our customers about something specific. It's also integrated nicely with our product pages, when viewed, specific triggers will generate product related questions, that overall helps the client make an informed decision. We've been loving the app integration and look forward to what else we can explore in the future.

    We receive so many messages that it helps a lot if we can tell right off the bat if the sender is an existing customer. Not everyone includes order numbers, so this helps reduce tracking down and connecting messages with their appropriate orders.

About ShopDigest

The Shopify ecosystem, shown through the work

ShopDigest is an independent directory of Shopify work. Developers, agencies and experts publish the projects they’ve actually shipped — migrations, rebuilds, custom apps, headless storefronts — with the results attached.

For merchants, that means judging a partner on evidence instead of a sales page: browse real builds in your category and budget, then reach out directly. For builders, it means one profile that keeps working after the project ships.

No commissions, no pay-to-rank placements. The best work rises because people save and follow it.
