SB: Helpdesk, Live Chat & FAQs

I had given these guys a horrible review 9 years ago, but it appears that they have changed quite a bit since then. I needed help this morning and got Caleb on live chat in about 30 seconds. He was extremely helpful and within about 10 minutes he got into my Shopify store and fixed my FAQ problem. He was very attentive and his communication with me was excellent. I highly recommend these guys!

We added HelpCenter mainly for the FAQ section, but ended up using the ticket system too. It’s actually very easy to manage everything from one place. Reduced a lot of repeat questions for us.

We use this app for our FAQ. Recently (September 2025) it revised its permissions to request full access to all our customer and order data. This is insane. We have no desire to give this app such sensitive data, just to use a FAQ. Regretfully, we may have to uninstall this app and migrate our FAQ to another app. What a waste of time.

The contact form submissions should create tickets... too clunky.

I just installed the app today and had a little issue with getting the contact form on my store. Even though I was on the free plan I had live customer support immediately and my issue was resolved very easily. I was considering using the paid plan for FAQ when my store launches and added the contact form on a whim. The support I received today has ensured that I will be making this my app of choice for FAQ. Thank you Kate for your excellent support.

it great

Good support from Caleb. Quick answers and he try to guide you as best as possible

helpfull support team and great app to help and support your customer

Très bonne application qui me permer de gérer les demandes clients en les assignant à différents agents ou en programmant des réponses automatiques avec des templates. J'ai aussi pu développer la FAQ sur ce meme outil, ainsi qu'un formulaire de contact. J'utilise cette appli depuis plusieurs années maintenant.

Help Center for Shopify has been an absolute lifesaver for my online store. Its feature-rich platform covers every aspect of customer support seamlessly, from customizable FAQs to a robust ticketing system. The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, saving me valuable time that I can now dedicate to growing my business. What truly sets Help Center apart, though, is its exceptional customer service. The support team is responsive and knowledgeable, always ready to assist whenever I have a question or encounter an issue. With Help Center, providing top-notch customer support has never been easier. I can't recommend it enough to fellow Shopify store owners—it's a game-changer!

Very fast and cooperative Support. Easy to use app. Pricing is also absolute fair :) A must have

great service

We have been using the app for 5 years and would recommend it at any time. Great App and great customer Support.

I would not recommend this app to others because of the same reason that most of the others have given it a 1 star review... they changed the pricing model so that functionality that was free was no longer free. This had a direct impact on your live site because now only 5 FAQs were displayed on the site and any other FAQs were no longer live. The danger here is that the creators of this app directly affected your live site and the information that was displayed by changing their pricing model and forcing you to pay for functionality that was free. They also force you to upgrade and pay in order to get an export so you have to manually copy each individual FAQ from their app which means you have to edit every single one to copy the answer. Would not use any of their apps in the future.

Great app, very easy to use, lots of options and the support is amazing and very quick at solving any issues you might have. Totally recommend it.

nous utilisons cette application sur tous nos stores et nous en sommes très content ! Je recommande vivement.

I tried another free app which has over 1000+ good reviews. But they actually do not worth the rating, even thougth it's free. That's why we choose HelpCeter. This app is very user-friendly. Mutiple templetes are availabe for choosing. Customer service is very helpful.

Good app for FAQs, for the most part. Comes complete with schema markup and the ability to link to specific Q&As. The template choices are limited. There are a couple of issues with technical SEO/accessibility: 1) There are three levels for Headings and Q&As: Category > Section > Articles. If you don't use categories AND sections then you end up with skipped heading levels. In our case, we don't need a subcategory/section within each category. 2) It comes with it's own title tag, which means you get flagged in SEO audits for having multiple title tags. There's no documentation about it this, or how to work around it. I've found that you have to edit the theme code so that the Shopify title tag isn't inserted on this page. 3) The app is heavy, so the FAQs page gets flagged for being slow.

FAQ works well with many options. Had an issue once and it was quickly resolved.

Needed some tech support; contacted them via Chat and it was sorted in minutes. Easy to use app, have used it now for around three or four years.

I am trying this app now as opposed to Zendesk. So far, so good! And customer service is really helpful with any issues. I'll update this when I'm 100% up and running!

Great app with an equally great support team! Fast, friendly and accurate. We recommend this app wholeheartedly.

This app was an absolute lifesaver for my business. Very useful if you are subscribed to their paid plan. The FAQs, Product Tabs, and Live Chat feature is worth every penny!

Alright alright hear me out - there is a lot of frustration here about how they handled the transition to the new (paid) subscription plans. I was frustrated too when suddenly my 5 FAQ articels were deleted, just because I didn't select any plan in time. BUT the Helpcenter guys listened to all the negative feedback and restored every FAQ article. The support team was very helpful and there was compensation for the inconveniences. The new subscription plans are fair in my opinion. The App is easy to use and has been updated with new features and an easy interface. Honestly if it weren't for that bumby transition phase, I think the App would have close to 5,0 stars.

for a great app, the sudden switch to asking us to pay for features that were previously available and DRASTICALLY cutting the number of FAQ articles that were available on the free plan for a ridiculous amount of money is daylight robbery. If I didn't have that many articles that I spent money on, I wouldn't have continued with this. but seems i have no choice.

Plataforma simple pero funcional. Destacaría el servicio de atención al cliente, muy rápida y eficiente.

awesome app guys congrats. only thing is we can not remove your name from the website without subscribing a plan.

It was free to use at first, and I thought it worked well, but later it was charged, which I thought was unreasonable. I used a lot of information and content on the FAQ function provided by you, but suddenly changed it to charge, which is obviously unreasonable. Should be later to use the user charge, the old user does not charge. Now I bought a topic that provides FAQ functionality, and now I have to spend a lot of time migrating data.

Cette application est très facile d'utilisation! De plus, leur service à la clientèle est exemplaire! Un grand merci!

Save time on installing other FAQ apps, only to delete them later for being difficult or confusing to use - just install HelpCentre and know that you won't be disappointed.

Great service customer and i love the App thanks much, it better to make FAQ for respond all questions off customer

In recent days, we have been unable to receive messages from customers via the "Contact Us" page. After testing, we can't find the customer's message in the mailbox, please tell us what is the reason? This has taken a toll on us. I try to set up the mailbox in the background, and every time I set it up, I can only receive the first message. Then, the background automatically restores the previous mailbox

I can't say enough about these guys. Very very fast to respond to my support queries and I feel like they genuinely care about their customers. Great app and next level support!

Contacted support via email and a solution was put in place within 10 mins. Great service. Recommended.

UPDATE #2: HelpCenter was able to restore the original data which luckily we didn't have to rely on because of WayBack Machine, but at least they fixed it. Prior to this issue, the App was great and we had never had an issue, but this whole plan transition experience has made us a little wary of future decisions they might make. I've brought the review back up to 4 stars in the meantime. UPDATE #1: Our Customer Support manager had a brainwave and decided to check WayBack machine. LUCKILY, our website has been crawled back in December and we were able to scrape the FAQ page from their backup. We were able to rebuild the page now but this doesn't excuse the developers action on this and many stores won't be so lucky, so the review stands. ORIGINAL: BEWARE! They just erased my ENTIRE Help / FAQ page. They are claiming that they have been sending emails about upgrading to their new plan tiers. I found ONE email in my spam folder about updating from two weeks ago and there is NOTHING about the content being deleted upon the changeover. I've just contacted the Help team and they are telling me tough luck. I can understand needing to change your pricing structure, I would have had no issues with upgrading to the next tier up, but you can't just permanently erase a stores entire Help/FAQ page and kick them to the curb. This is UNREAL! If they can recover the data then I will update this review. Until then I would STEER CLEAR of this app 100%.

Been using for many years... agree with others... we had a free forever plan for just 30 faq's... so they disable your faq's without notice and forcing you to upgrade to paid plan... sorry, but not a great way to do business, espcially with original users... will be deleting now

DO NOT PAY FOR THIS APP. AVOID - like everyone else is saying, they have deleted all the data that was on the FAQ page due to a change of plan (from free to paid). There was NO notice that the data would be deleted and they are not doing anything to recover the data. Given that you have at no point mentioned the content would be deleted if you don’t upgrade I assume this was a mistake on your end and that this shouldn’t have happened. In which case what you should do is notify every store owner who didn’t upgrade about this and apologise for your mistake. I’m sure there are hundreds of store owners right now who have no idea that their FAQ page is missing (it’s not a page we check regularly!) and your actions/mistakes are hurting their business. Notify them ASAP otherwise I am certain each and every one of them will leave you one star when they realise you deleted their FAQ sections. Just to clarify - My issue is not that I now have to pay to upgrade. We hold our hand up, we missed your emails on having to pay. Again, the fee is not an issue. Our issue is that you have deleted all of our data!

NEVER USE OR PAY FOR THIS APP! We had the worst experiance with this app. The app is slowing down the processes. The support was not helpful. The best thing was: They delete your content on FAQ pages. Never ever again.

DO NOT USE THIS APP!!! They deleted my data and are refusing to restore it. I spent days putting it together. DO NOT INSTALL!!!!! Your "notifications" all ended up in our SPAM folder. You deleted hundreds of FAQ entries from our website without authorization. When we asked for a backup, you said it was TOUGH LUCK; we should have saved it when we had a chance. Your response to this review is a total lie and fabricating because we asked you for the FAQ's you deleted, and you said you couldn't send them to us. BUYER BEWARE! Stay FAR AWAY from this app. There are MANY other options from reputable app developers.

I was using the FAQ feature of this app for many years. This was free. However, they decided they needed to charge if you had more than 5 FAQ articles. When they launched the pay plan, instead of just limiting your display of FAQ articles to 5, they deleted all of your content beyond the 5 articles. So, even by paying the money to upgrade, I would have had to recreate all of my content in their system. Very foolish and they lost me as a customer.

this app was a great free app but its a joke now. They removed the option to paste picture in the body. then they deleted all my articles because they are changing the free option to only have 5 articles so they just deleted my other 25. all my time and effort erased and they can't even get it back but want me to pay to add more articles again. no thanks i'll use another app

Stay FAR AWAY from this app!! The developers pulled a bait and switch and now we are missing most of our FAQ on our LIVE website. There are many other great options out there. Do not use this crap app!!!!

We have been using this app for years. Easy to use, so many features available and the list of improvements just keeps growing. Customer support is very efficient and responsive. Highly recommend.

Acabo de Empezar a utilizarla porque hace tiempo hice un curso de Dropshiping y los profesores recomendaban esta APP. Actualmente me la ha recomendado mucha gente y voy a profundizar en ella !

WISH I CAN GIVE YOU GUYS 0 STARS. You're running people's businesses down with your bad customer service and app. literally the worst app on Shopify. If you have a serious business then you cannot depend on these people. They do not reply to emails and there's no other way to reach them. I contacted these guys over a week ago because their app keeps showing up errors and we lost all of our replies to customers because they were never sending. Up until today, none of them has reached out to us . but leave them an honest review and watch them reach out to you. Your customer service is appalling. UNBELIEVABLE

We have issues with our emailing , we dont recieve and cant send emails, its bad for our business and the support does not answer us even tho i sent couple of emails to their support ticketing system. Hope they will resolve it soon because we are in general happy with the app, it serves its purpose but this downtime is not good for us and could potentially make us look for another more reliable app.

The ticketing system is quite nice for most things, and the one time we had an issue with a form the team responded and fixed it the same day, which is pretty huge. There are a few minor nuisances like the ticketing page needing to be manually reloaded to view customer history and the way some search terms and results persist after you switch "bins", and need to have the search terms manually deleted to view the contents of the new bin. Despite a few bumps, quite a good experience overall.

App works great! Had some issues when we upgraded our theme to 2.0, but the support was amazing and they were able to get it up and working perfectly.

The FAQ is great, but there are a LOT of bugs with Helpdesk (archived emails reappearing, receiving duplicate emails in inbox, archive function simply not working). Today I am even unable to open certain emails. Also you can't easily see your sent messages (you have to create an automated rule to tag your outgoing tickets which seems silly)

La aplicación es genial, funciona bien y es personalisable, incluso el plan gratuito, facil de usar y visualmente bella

I have added this APP for years, today I found the APP content all can not collapse or rolled up. This problem has appeared two times. Then the after-sale service is great. The problem has been solved quickly. So I give 5 stars again.

The tech support fixed a new issue with languages super quickly, really on the spot. Also the Customer service responded very fast.

Extremely beautiful FAQ page. Andrius was super fast in response. We got reply within 1 min after sending an enquiry. A while later, the bug was resolved right away. The team is very professional and skillful. You will surely get prompt and professional tailor support from them.

This app is great! It combine 4 super necessary apps in 1 and load fast without demaging your website! The support answer around 6-12 hours since you send them a message and this guys are super commit for your needs. For conclusion - SUPER RECOMMENDED!

Muy contento con esta aplicación. Tuve algunos problemas con la configuración y en menos de 24 horas lo solucionaron.

Very happy with the app and their customer service. I would use this on any other future sites i create also.

We use the FAQ part of this app and it's very easy to use. Outstanding customer service. Highly recommended.

Awesome customer support. They team help me to fix my page quickly. Will recommend to others. 5 stars.

Easy to use and customisable FAQ with great support when we had a conflict with another app. Highly recommended!

I have used this app for the FAQs for nearly 18 months which was great for our website, easy to install, configure and maintain. I then started to use Tabs on our product pages, this also was very easy to set up and use and is great for saving time when editing the same content on multiple products in addition to keeping maximum information in a smaller more manageable style. Very happy with the support I received when I encountered a few difficulties.

It's easy to use and intuitive. Free feature is all that we need at this moment and we're glad we have an option to upgrade when needed.

Update: Their customer service continues to be outstanding. Just resolved another issue - thanks!!! ********************************************************************************** I must say this app and especially their customer service did blow me away. I initially signed up for the free plan and had a couple of support requests/customization questions regarding my theme & colors to be used for the different controls, labels, etc. Honestly I wasn't expecting immediate support and actually fixing the color theme on behalf of me but their support did it anyway to my complete & fullest satisfaction. They were super fast, very professional - even that I was only on their free plan.... Today I decided to go with one of their paid plans, because I think it is worth the money and especially as they really care about their customers. I definitely can recommend their app and especially their support/customer service - THANKS!!!

The formatting tools really suck for the FAQ page. Not user friendly or stable. At All. Not being able to change or match fonts is time consuming and inconvenient :((

Great app with awesome support team! We had a small issue with how the FAQ page was displaying on our website and the help desk team fixed it within minutes of me reaching out! couldn't be happier.

We use the app for customer support dashboard and chose it because it's simple and straightward as our needs are not very elaborate. The decision, after using the app for 2 months, is proven to be excellent. Everything works as it should, and we don't need to think about using it, it's a logical extension, and it works flawless. Additional, when we encountered a problem, the support team went out off their way and did not just do their job but pointed out the exact cause of the problem which lied outside the app itself, so it was an easy fix!

Incredible value for the level of functionality, customization, easy to use and just overall beautiful design. Even for stores just getting stated the FAQ plan makes you look very professional for $5 a month, plus help you sort out your support tickets in a very organized matter. This is a must have.

The App is easy to setup and looks good. One small issue I had, team resolved quickly and up to expectations. Great App. For sure will keep using the app.

App support has been outstanding and so helpful in getting our app settings perfect! Product tabs and live chat are great; it's nice that both features are in the same app.

Useful app with flexible settings. Great and fast support team. Very appreciated for help with installation.

We just started using FAQ page. They don't have many documents to read beforehand but the instruction video gives clear guidance and once you install the app, there is a section to answer general questions user might want to know. The interface is easy to understand and manage. If you know how to write a blog, it should be a piece of cake to manage this app. We needed an adjustment to the app's search function and the support team was fast and sincere in responding via email. Thank you Donatas and Ernestas for quick adjustments and for answering all my questions!

AWESOME APP!!! it really helped my answer all the questions my customer has when they come to my store

Amazing support. I had several small tweaks that required coding and the support team had them all fixed within a few hours. The application runs smoothly and looks great on the store. Highly recommend.

Great app. It has a clean Ui and very easy to understand and use. The price is great too. Highly recommend.

Exceptional support. I send the ticket in regarding an error I got and received a reply within minutes. The problem was solved within the same day. Can only recommend

Very useful app and easy to use. Has all the important customisation you need. Support is also very quick and helpful.

We use both the Help Center and FAQ features of the app. It's a great value. Support's been same day. Highly recommend. Great value.

I love the HelpCenter. It is really easy to use for those who do not have any coding skills. Thank you.

We had discovered a bug for drop-down for the FAQ section, customer service was super quick to answer my emails and concerns. The developers applied a fix within 1 hour. Highly recommended, great product. Thanks, A+

Save lots of time and resources to set the FAQ part. Customer service is always fast! Thank you so mcuh! *If you didn't receive their answers, you may also contact them via facebook OR just send again to see if there's anything wrong with your email.

i have written to the provider twice to find out if i can simply delete the app i no longer need, or if i have to delete code to do so. unfortunately, i never received a reply. always very fast when selling, very poor when helping (hot even "help center"). do i get a reply now? UPDATE: 26.07.2021 After this review I was contacted. The support had supposedly written to me. In the communication it was noticed that they had forgotten a letter in the email. I was helped in the meantime and my questions were answered 100%. This is why I update my stars from 1 to 4 stars!

--- Update: The developers reached out to me personally and have been ultra-responsive to address my concerns. My primary interest was finding an app that allows bulk upload/import... the options presented in this one seemed to allow for that, however it appears that NONE of them do that (based on helpful discussion with the team here.) I decided to stick with this app since the overall UI is still very good - and their personal support has been impressive. Our FAQ is now loaded and formatted, and we are very pleased, overall. I've been trying for an hour to get this app to work. Won't import. Won't export. Crafted an email to their support to try to get help, and it bounced back. Desperately need an FAQ that works - Have tried 5 on here with no success. This was a total bust. No idea how it got a high rating with so many users. Anybody out there who can help me??

Works perfectly, Support is spot on when needed. in fact I only had to use their support once during the past two years.

very helpful app and great, user friendly and easy to use, my store is just new and im going to upgrade it later

I think the app itself is great and the customer service is quick and very friendly. but it is a bit buggy. Older articles cannot be deleted, there were problems with moving articles around and inheriting the font from the theme. So I hope this will be fixed in the long term to provide better usability. The help desk was able to help very fast though.

We've set up Help Center and it looks absolutely stunning, we have encountered few issues but the support team fixed all issues super fast! Strongly recommend

Amazing app! It's so great my customers can search my FAQs now. I don't know why someone said it's unattractive. It looks fine, and is really basically about delivering information- therefore, I'm really happy with the app. Check out how it looks on my website: http://www.xenotees.com/apps/help-center :D

It has been a great FAQ page for our business and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a FAQ page

Fantastic and quick support from their team. I have been using this app for several years now. It works great and was very easy to install!

The app works great, except that it takes so much time to load the page. How can we resolve this issue?

This interface is user-friendly. You pay about 4 dollars a month, and you can create good faq pages with several languages.

Good Service, Good service, Good service, Good service, Good Service, Good service, Good service, Good service

Had an issue with the app and how it was loading on the website, but the support team got back to me immediately and was able to solve the issue quickly. Very much appreciate the speedy support!

Awesome app! Super easy to use, looks good and professional, and the pricing is really affordable. Highly recommend!

Customer service is very friendly and responded in a very timely manner. Good looking app too, and great price! Thank you.

The FAQ page is easier to setup and user friendly, I want to give 5 stars for this feature. However, if you wish for Live Chat feature you need to take premium package, and Live Chat helpdesk app is not stable on my page. Sometimes i can't even login for one day. I hope the live chat feature can give notification directly to our mobile device as we are not always in front of our desktop and have to open the app everytime. So I'm deleting the live chat feature but still maintaining the FAQ page now.

Everyone, this is a fantastic app - easy to use, look great, definitely recommended! Even the free version is great - but of course you get a lot of additional useful features when you get the paid version.

Very good! Easy to use and great design. It's important for us to be able to show our website visitors answers to their questions to increase our conversion rate.
