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

Very poor after sales support.

contact form does not in fact support multilingual. both ai-agent and human support are dumb and waste your time

This platform went from an industry leader to an ad laden hacked up pile of AI slop. They'll say they care about your feedback, and ignore it. I have ads in 3 places to pay extra for an AI agent that hallucinates more than I did in college, force a complete relearn of a UI into an obviously AI generated UI that is missing loads of subtle details from previous versions that just so happened to be essential to our usage of the platform. It's good that we live in an era where I can just AI generate a whole new platform to suit my needs over the course of a weekend. It's ironic really.

Day 1 after using the app. The app worked fine for about 8 hours, and now I can't even send an email or pay for my subscription. I still have 6 more days of trial, but it won't even allow me to send a test email. Oh and BTW the support team doesn't have a live chat, they reply to your emails "within 48 hours"

There are so many missing features. New features come along very rarely. Even their support documentation has lots of 404s. Their intent stuff is a mess, their AI stuff is half baked, their integration with Shopify is missing basics (e.g. B2B vs retail customers). Where other platforms are making leaps and strides, Gorgias stays still, and never gets better. When you make requests for improvements, they never listen, even for ones that would clearly make their product better. Its just not really where a customer service tool should be in 2026. I could not recommend it to others. They recently updated the UI.... fine... but the basic features just aren't there... it's like they don't have a dev team making improvements. Shame really.

The software is really quite buggy... There are so many missing features. New features come along very rarely. Even their support documentation has lots of 404s. Their intent stuff is a mess, their AI stuff is half baked, their integration with Shopify is missing basics (e.g. B2B vs retail customers). Where other platforms are making leaps and strides, Gorgias stays still, and never gets better. Its just not really where a customer service tool should be in 2026. I could not recommend it to others. We have been using with clients for about a year or two, never gets much better.

I have been using Gorgias for about 7 years and the last few years the customer service has been terrible. For the past few months I am having an issue and the AI bot just says we opened a ticket and someone will get back to you but nothing this has been going on for too long and its impacting the way we work. Shame on Gorgias.

The new upgrade is terrible. I can't delete a ticket.

It’s ironic that the so-called best support app has some of the worst support I’ve experienced. I started a trial while using Shopify Plus, and they still haven’t been able to fix a store sync issue after a full week. For such a critical issue, and for an app of this level, it should have been escalated and resolved the same day.

No support, no onboarding, no chance. The when I told them we were looking for a better fit they handed me over to a third party consultant to get set up. Worst app experience on Shopify. Switched to Gladly and they we super helpful and responsive.

VERY DISSAPOINTING EXPERIANCE FROM WHAT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT COMPANY TO WORK WITH. READ MY EXPERIANCE We had a very disappointing experience with Gorgias. During the initial sales process, we were told that the platform is complex and evolving, and that it’s completely normal not to know exactly what we’d need upfront. Based on that, we answered our sales people's questions to the best of our ability and were reassured multiple times that we could adjust our plan later once we saw how everything actually worked in real use. Because AI is new to everyone and so we thought we would try it to. However, the contract they put together did not accurately reflect those conversations we had. After getting set up and realizing our needs were different than what was scoped based on questions 6 months into using it, we reached out to make adjustments—just like we were told we could with their salespeople. They quoted us a huge plan, very expensive that we needed this based on our volume of tickets. We were no where near these numbers and AI tickets and they warned us of overages and the expensive overage charges. Then I get an email 4/10/26 that is from Gorgias stating May 10th if you upgrade your plan mid billing cycle you'll pay a one time prorated charge for the upgrade. Well wouldn't this have been nice to know when they quoted me this huge plan and we would have planned accordingly. A lot of things represented to sell me this expensive software changed and was not in the contract that they said was all in there. Along with slow support response times, and when we did get responses, they were not helpful or solution-oriented. Most importantly, they refused to adjust our plan, despite clearly telling us during the sales process that flexibility would be available. It feels like what was promised during the sales call was not honored once we became a customer. If you are considering using Gorgias, make sure every single detail, expectation, and promise is clearly written into your contract is something I would strongly advise and make sure you love that contract because they will not work with you on this to make their app work for you if it is not in there. Do not rely on verbal assurances as in my case. In our experience, what is said during the sales process does not necessarily match how they operate afterward.

We have been using Gorgias for over a year, and our experience has been extremely frustrating. If you operate Shopify with a third-party ERP, the integration is unreliable and creates ongoing operational challenges. We have experienced significant syncing issues that directly impact customer experience. Support has been disappointing. Responses often lack clarity or resolution, and we’ve received explanations that don’t fully address the issue. In one instance, folders were randomly deleted. We were initially told the deletion was done by an admin user (me), but when support reviewed the account, they acknowledged it wasn’t. The ticket was ultimately closed without a clear explanation or resolution, and we are still without closure a month later. We’ve also encountered instability within the platform itself. Features have appeared and disappeared without warning. We have had folders vanish. Most concerning, the AI/bot has sent incorrect responses to customers, closed tickets without proper replies, or failed to respond entirely—resulting in customer complaints about lack of follow-up. For a CX platform, reliability and accountability are critical. Unfortunately, our experience has fallen far short of that standard.

This has got to be the greediest and ruthless company ever. We were paying over $13.5k per year on Gorgias for the Advanced plan (6350 automations, 60,000 tickets). This is A LOT...but the story gets worse. I mention this because their pricing is not clear at all after that point. If you a fast growing company, (7-8 figures or more) I highly recommend staying away from this platform. Their upsell features are highly predatory and can increase the cost of your plan by a if your orders/tickets increase. Their AI automation feature auto-bills you over and over, to the point without telling us until its WAY to late, we were charged $14,000 on TOP of $13.5/year. We tried to work with them but we received threats. The AI automation costs them essentially nothing to run, but it would have brought our yearly bill to $27k. Instead of trying to work it out, they tried to strong arm us. For a customer service platform, it was one of the worse customer service experiences I've ever experienced and would not recommend it to anyone. We are switching to a competitor that offers the same functions and essentially unlimited automations. They just lost a customer paying 5 figures a year without any care.

The app is extremely difficult to navigate with very poor user interface. It's also very difficult to find info online that actually shows you how to use the app efficiently. It took over a week for someone on the Apps side to figure out that you only can send chats direct to your email if you're on a paid plan. You cannot test that function during the free trial. The pricing is ridiculous for what you actually get. Anyone that has been in the AI game for any amount of time knows what tokens cost and their fees for AI responses are ridiculous as well as the price to simply forward a chat through email has equally ridiculous pricing.

I have heard good things about Gorgias, but I am very unhappy with their customer service. I installed it in my store and was getting things set up on a 7 day free trial. Within hours of installation, it charged me a full $400 for the pro plan, completely negating the "free trial". When I pointed out the error, they quoted policies rather than resolving the issue, and didn't even bother to address me by my actual name. This is not an app I want to use for customer service when their own customer service doesn't come close to meeting our own standards of care. I'm very sorry I gave them a try at all.

support is non existent. I have sent 4 support emails over the last three days and no respons. Just a friendly AI that is useless. Secondly the software lacks many basic features like the ability to create filtered views that make sense. Something as obvious as "show me emails with no reply" doesnt exist. We sell in currency NOK, but Gorgias still show USD with the NOK amount. Go with the larger companies like Zendesk, Hubspot etc.

Gorgias in theory has a good product and the value prop is there. The AI and responses are probably a 4/10. What makes Gorgias a 1 star app is how they handle issues on their platform. They advertise that their product can handle cancellations, variant changes, and order edits automatically. From day 1, this was completely broken for me and the ticket was escalated to their L2 support team. It takes multiple days between responses, only for nothing to happen. This is shocking especially as automated order edits is the key functionality their product advertises for Shopify integration. Where it gets worse is that their technical support rep completely lied to me and told me the issue was fixed by doing a customer sync, but it did not fix the issue at all. They did not provide any details on what the issue was, how they fixed it, and what they tested. They just lied to me and said that it worked when it remains broken, and now I have to continue testing myself and reporting errors to them. This tells you that their tech team is either not competent or does not care to fix high priority customer issues, which is why it's a 1 star. If you cannot fix tech issues, then lie to your customers just to close a ticket without helping them, then your tech team/support is just bad and doesn't care. It makes it feel like a scam. Your software cannot be trusted, and it calls into question the product at large and the (lack of) TLC that's going into it. I feel completely misled about this product and the false advertising that has taken place so far for me. This is a really bad experience as I have invested probably 36 hours of my time to get the guidance, macros, and rules set up only to be completely washed away by a horrific bug that their tech team has completely dismissed and lied to me about a "fix". Really, really disappointing and disrespectful to small/rapid growth businesses that cannot afford to sink and lose this many hours.

This platform worked very well. They assisted us in setting up the AI agent functionality which took several weeks but turned out fantastically. Then they changed something, likely they degraded the LLM to save money. Suddenly our agent went from solving 95% of issues to failing in 100% of the cases. For example, it forgot what kinds of products we sell and started recommending unrelated items that we don't carry. It stopped being able to follow the logic that the Gorgias team wrote and so could no longer edit or cancel orders. It started promising things to customers that we cannot do. I've been trying to get in touch with support for 2 weeks now with these issues. I've tried reaching out to the team who built the Agent for me, but they don't offer support. I've tried working with their L2 support but response times are well over 36 hours and the issue is complicated enough that asking and answering questions with days between responses is never going to adequately identify the problem. I tried their regular chat support and they told me the code was sloppy and should be deleted- but they wrote the code. I'm left with no choice but to disable the agent because it's frustrating my customers with irrelevant responses, or worse promising that we will do something that we simply can't. It's very disappointing to see Gorgias opt to not support their product and to cheapen the service to this point. The few months of functioning AI Agent definitely convinced me of the value of this kind of thing. I'd be willing to pay close to a regular full time salary. But the Gorgias system isn't the right one because it's not supported. I know I'm not the only one with this problem. During the period I've been trying to get support the Gorgias support team has had to remove their own chat widget because they are being overwhelmed with requests. This is likely due to the failure of their system.

If i could give zero stars I would. Absolutely not "easy to set up" like I was sold on the initial sales phone call

We recently encountered a billing issue with this app where we were overcharged $780 on October 24th, and we are still waiting for the refund to be processed. While mistakes can happen, the delay in resolving the overcharge is concerning. I’m sharing this so other users and businesses are aware and can keep an eye on their billing statements. I hope the team resolves this soon and improves the refund process moving forward.

We’ve been using Gorgias since 2017. It used to be an amazing tool -affordable, reliable, and backed by great people. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, things changed. Prices went up disproportionately, our dedicated CSM was suddenly removed without notice, and support quality dropped drastically. When we finally decided to migrate to Re:amaze (which offered better pricing for the exact same features), Gorgias was anything but helpful during the transition. After eight years of loyalty, it’s disappointing to say this - but I can’t recommend Gorgias anymore.

My contact form has been down for more that one day, emailed twice the support team and I got strictly NO answer from them. Overall the app is pretty good, but when something goes wrong, them it seems will not be there for you (except useless AI automatic responses).

How ironic that a so-called CX app is giving me the worst customer experience ever. Our team has been reaching out for help since last month, and no one has responded. I’ve now sent two emails 48 hours ago regarding the outrageous $726 USD charge on my card. NO RESPONSE again. This charge was made without any prior notice or alert about a plan upgrade. That is unacceptable. I expect an immediate refund. On top of billing issues, the AI responses are a disaster. When there isn’t enough information, it fabricates random answers that only frustrate our customers. Plus we've been submitting multiple feedbacks to the AI responses, and no changes, same repsonse again and again. Worst of all, the lack of real support: you get bounced from one AI response to another, then finally to a person who passes you along again and promises a fix, but never follows through. This isn’t customer service. It’s avoidance.

the most expensive app we have ever used, just use shopify chat, you can configure the exact same.

Looks terrible, cheap and chaotic, not as advertised at all. Cant login, no email with PW reset is sent, customers are waiting.

AVOID Been with gorgias with 3 stores, the onboarding help was pretty much none existant, now they dont even have support chat, My tickets have been piling up for days, still no one has reached out. If anyone from giorgias is reading this please help

Within 24 hours of installing this app for a trial, an unsolicited meeting request was sent to me and other random people in the organisation.

Aplikacja co najwyżej średnia, a na polskim rynku mało użyteczna. Rezygnacja z subskrybcji oczywiście nieintuicyjna, a pomoc ze strony obsługi polega na tłumaczeniu, że zwrot pieniędzy jest niemożliwy. Nie polecam

App is very expensive.

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

The service lacks a proper spam filter. I can’t block email addresses or mark emails as spam. Additionally, I’ve been getting charged twice for months, paying €160 monthly instead of the expected amount. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend it.

Our account was billed even though we already canceled it.

Avoid! Ongoing outages and if you use their API you lose all record of any email responses sent. Gorgias has advised that there is no way to recover these emails except for manually forwarding emails to yourself. Resending every email ever sent via gorgias individually to your own email so that you have a record in gsuite is not realistic. They of course recommend their API due to google deliverability issues which of course they can't substantiate.

stay away. nothing works - waste of time! support is horrible!

We are updating our review as a warning to those considering Gorgias. After we left their platform, we endeavored to remove what is ours off of their platform per Privacy Concerns. Gorgias, once again, rather than addressing our concerns and working with us to resolve this very serious matter, is, in response, sending us form letters and sending us in circles (We have had other privacy concerns with them. See remainder of our review below). Buyer beware. Read their TOS to compare and to make decisions before signing onto their platform. We were with Gorgias for around 4 years. They were good in the beginning--had good support and the platform worked as it should. But, in this past year two we grew very disgruntled with them and could not wait for our term agreement to end with them. Reasons: they are very over-priced, their support is spotty (they have cut way back on support in the past couple of years) and they send you in circles, often not resolving the issue. We paid for their phone add-on and it never worked, despite many support tickets. The phone didn't ring to us, it glitched a lot, it was terrible. The platform itself is "noisy." And, one thing users should be very aware of: IF you forward an email from Gorgias to another person and then email the original sender your forwarded email will go to the original person! This is a nightmare for customer service. They did not listen to my complaint about this and sent me in endless circles, which is what they do. They tried to tell me Google does this, but it does not. Their fix? You have to manually erase the messages that fall below the one you are sending, which includes any forwarded messages. As a busy brand, I can tell you, remembering to comb my emails to make sure I haven't forwarded anything when answering back does not happen. What happens? Customers can see what you wrote in forwarded emails and it might not be something you want them to be privy to. We are so very glad to be done with Gorgias. We have moved away from Gorgias, and on to a better platform, that offers excellent customer service without any of these issues and is a lot less pricey.

Review stars is based on SUPPORT TEAM only! Its fairly seamless to install. Seems ok but have only recently installed. But the experience with their help desk is absolutely terrible today. Started off with 'Joeferson' who was somewhat a help with delayed responses. Then Sharmaine comes in after 30 mins saying she needs a min to catch up. ok no problems, thinking we only got 1 step in so wont take long. 25 mins later I ask if she is still there with a reply so basic it was ridiculous. Replied with the obvious of 'yes I have'. I ask has it really take an hour for you to tell me the code needs to be on every page i was it installed? (face palm). The asks me for a screen shot of the theme where I installed the code... ummm its not installed on the theme, surely you should know this? she replied with 'yes the content section, my bad!' wow... just wow. anyway a hour later she replies saying it to complex for them and they need the email team to do it, but dont worry, the team will continue trouble shooting! Over an hour wasted only to be told its to complex. Mind you this is only for the control center to be added to the website (what should be a simple issue). for an app that came recommended from my business coach, I think ill be asking for new recommendations because the support team they have on today don't know left from right. I dont normally leave reviews, especially like this one. I know most app support teams jump from customer to customer but oh my gosh. Extremely disappointed.

I tried this in 2021, and my original review is beneath. I was recommended to Gorgias as a solution by Loopreturns, and I explained that I could not get it to work. They said it had changed a lot, so I signed up for the expensive ($380/month) subscription because our store has grown so much. I have to tell you that the app is even worse than it was before - they have added a new online course - but the images are wrong - and they apologize but they did not change it! I have been on trying to fix this for about three hours now - and talking with a support agent (Sharmaine) who is even more useless. I asked her how to change the logo size, and she asked me to write to the engineers to ask how to add that future in later releases! I will be long gone. The logo is microscopic, and you cannot change the size. Sharmaine said to increase the bit size of the file - up to 500k - how does that make sense? It doesn't matter how big the file is (I made it 380k) the file is microscopic. I am going back to the referrer, "Loop Returns" and telling them about my experience, as this reflects poorly on the referring developer. It does not work on Firefox. Secondly, when you try to access the app through the shopify window, it takes you to a "sign up new account" window, which is a useless loop. You then find your way to your support tickets, but cannot find the settings from there. Mostly, it does not work on Firefox, and this was verified by the support agent. Poorly designed app and is not functioning.

It's so frustrating... The pricing structure that they show on their own website is VERY misleading. By moving the sliding bar to tell them how much interactions you expect, it looks like you get 160 tickets a month for $10. This isn't the case. It took me to send customer support a screenshot for them to clarify that it's $10 for 50 tickets then $0.40 per additional ticket. Their justification on this was that the best option is to stay on the $10 a month then pay $44 as that's better than paying $60 a month on the next plan up! The next option is $60. We are off back to help crunch as we know where we are with billing! They pride themselves on transparency... Would be good if they started out being honest and transparent from the beginning!

Costumer service has a brain of a 3 year old...

The customer support at this "customer support" software is comically bad. I have been using this software for almost five years and can not wait to get away from it.

Their phone app does not work - it is broken 5 different ways. We've been barking at them for 4 months. My CS employee has literally NEVER been notified of a customer on the site messaging us. They let us know it is just not a priority. Infuriating. We are looking for a new solution.

App would not integrate with email accounts as described and support was non existent, terrible app, don't waste your time or money

**** MISLEADING **** Firstly, I gave this app 1 star because I am sure it is a great app with loads of features although I did not set it up completely. The reason being that you should CHECK YOUR SUBSCRIPTION whilst on the FREE TRIAL before you set it up. They give you all features which is about $360 USD a month ($550 AUD) aprox. Then when you want to get off the free trial and opt in for the $10 USD a month, all you get is 50 tickets. Everything else is an addon and costs $$. Please live chat them first before setting it up to confirm the features and not waste your time.

terrible customer support! nobody answers!!! it is not working properly and it's been a week and I am yet to get any help at all!!!

We had high hopes for Gorgias. But key integrations they said they had simply did not work. We were told repeatedly the issues would be resolved, but after weeks we had to abandon. Further, the phone queue functionality is extremely limited. If phone service matters, do your diligence - this likely isn't the service for you. You can't prioritize agents, adjust queue roll times, offer call backs, etc. - pretty basic stuff for any operation, large or small. They have some nice features and this may work for small/niche applications, but it's just not ready for prime time if you truly are a multi-modal shop. Finally, beware the trial - they charged us up front and offered credits in subsequent months. When the platform didn't work as promised, they refused to refund the up front cost despite the fact that we never used the credits. Not a huge deal -the real cost to my business was the time, effort and expense of employees to implement a service that didn't live up to the hype, but it's reflective of a poor approach to clients/accountability.

Great app, Terrible support for bugs and issues. --- adjusted the review from 2 stars to 1 star after they decided to respond. They responded here as if something was going to happen, nothing happened. The service is terrible, they are constantly giving wrong advice and then someone else different picks up the ticket and gives additional wrong advice. ironic for a support ticketing app, shows their logic and systems doesn't work. save your sanity and find a different app.

Gorgias continued to bill AFTER we uninstalled the app from our Shopify Store. We also had consistent issues with Gorgias having significant down-time and the app logging out of our laptops and phones without notice. Unless you were on their most expensive plan, support was poor — ZERO live onboarding. We LOL'd at their reply to this review because their claim that they somehow help everyone equally was absolutely NOT our experience. It's self-serve unless you're at the very highest levels. One thing that particularly irked us was - after watching the how-to video, Gorgias expects you to grant them full access to all your brand's customer communication channels (email, all the social media channles, website etc). You never get to talk to a live person. We simply didn't trust or have faith in Gorgias to hand that access over. Luckily - many Gorgias features now come standard with Shopify since the latest Shopify update.

There is a MASSIVE bug in Gorgias - Once you click "Send" or "Send and close," there's a popup that says "Message sent" along with a button that says "Undo." If you close the tab before that goes away, your message DOES NOT get sent or saved in drafts. You have to do it over! I've spent an afternoon plowing through tickets and now I have to do ALL of them over again.

Very bad application and service. We sent an email to their billing department and we did not get a response on the unsubscription. Also very difficult to use compared to Helpscout. I do not recommend it at all. They made a reply and said that it is unsubscribed. However, IT IS NOT!!!!! I still see my credit card details and can login to my account. What is going on with you guys and why you made it incredibly difficult to cancel?

You can't "undo" when typing a whole email into their text box! When you decide, oh, I should save this and make it into a macro, so you select the whole email and mean to hit copy, but you hit paste instead, then the whole entire thing is GONE!!!! FOREVER!!!!!! THIS IS A BASIC EMAIL FUNCTION — UNDO!!!!

**SCAM APPROACH*** I took Gorgias just for a trial and guess what? at the end of the trial I got a bill to pay per month of 540$!!!!!!! I'm now waiting for an answer from their billing team but this is such a scammy approach as I only tested the platform for a week before probably going to their first plan of 10$! This is really a scammy approach, even when I tried to downgrade the plan it was not working, my god!

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.

If you are like us, thinking of moving to Zendesk to Gorgias. Please don't. They advertise chat and email support BUT for chat its takes 5-6 hours to receive an initial acknowledgement and even then they still haven't responded to my query. For email support it takes 72 hours to receive an acknowledgement. Apparently they have lots of staff on leave and it was also 2 day public holidays but its been week and they chat is still showing limited support. If you are like me used to getting instance response from Zendesk chat support, don't bother moving. Also for integration we received no support, only some prerecorded videos. If you are SMB you are so much better of staying on Zendesk. Huge mistake on my part to move to this joke. Now I have to pay the developers twice to move back to Zendesk

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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....

Gorgias was good, albeit limited at first however they have now released an update to the android app which causes it to no longer work. This renders the Gorgias platform useless. I'd strongly recommend looking for another customer service ticketing option as when raising any faults with Gorgias they are simply ignored.

Terrible!! I thougth is will be a solution for my business and now it becomes hell. I changed my local phone number for Gorgias phone number and the service does not work at all. Calls appear randomly on different team member's screens, they don't ring sometimes, team members cannot recieve the calls despite they are connected on line...massive Dissaster on Christmas season!!!!!!!! lots of sales lost. The worst of it is the response from Gorgias. I understand problems can happen but I contacted the person who sold me product no answer, I contacted my account mananger no solution, I contacted the technical team...only apologies and no answer to my questions about company address for all my time and sales lost and it is like they ignore the questions....DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still having problems with my phone line...

Byer beware, the $60 subscription requires that you agree to a $10,000 not to exceed monthly limit. Your giving them permission to bill your credit card up to 10k per month uncontested instead of pausing your subscription in the event of a hack.

If you stay with Gorgias long enough, you’ll become an “appreciated loyal customer”. This means that they’ll put you on a legacy plan which no longer receives any new core features. This became apparent for us recently when they updated their Instagram integration to also allow replying to Instagram DMs (sounds like a core part of the Instagram integration right?). Turns out we can only access this core Instagram integration feature if we update our plan to either: a) a much shittier plan for the same price. or b) a slightly less shittier plan for 5 x the price.

We've used Gorgias for just about 2 years now and if you love consistent down times with the inability to respond to your own customers than it is a great service. When Gorgias is experiencing issues, nothing on your front-end is changed. So customers can still send you messages and you can't respond to them. Gorgias doesn't even put a message out to customers that there is an issue with the live chat. Ironically, when you look for support from Gorgias on their "live chat", there is never anyone to be found. They've even swapped it over to some useless automated messaging that is the same level of useful as Amazon Seller Support. We've given Gorgias multiple chances because the platform itself has a lot of potential. But they don't seem to want to make the basic fixes that merchants want. If you're looking at Gorgias, here are some of the features that are missing. 1. You cannot put in vacation hours for the storefront, only by person only. So the live chat widget is active at all times, even if you are not. The only way around this is to modify your business hours every time there is a Holiday. Or, you deactivate the widget all together. The kicker? If a customer has your website cached, they will still see the Gorgias widget and be able to send you messages but on your end it will say "Gorgias has been deactivated, please reactivate to reply to this message". Very business friendly. 2. No variability between the Desktop and Mobile experience. Everyone knows mobile shopping is booming and the fact that this isn't even an option is simply outstanding in 2021. 3. Removing features from the plan you're paying for and putting it in a plan at 2.5x the price without telling you those changes are being made or any sort of grandfather period. Excellent way to keep your loyal customers on board. At this point, we're going to look at apps like RE:amaze and see what they have on offer as we've given Gorgias multiple chances. If this is how they treat a customer who has been with them for 2 years, I can't imagine the treatment new customers get. I decided to give Gorgias one more chance to see if they could deal with the most basic frustrations before posting this review and the below happened. I sent this review over to Gorgias through their live chat support at 10:37am on July 28th, 2021. At 1:22pm PST, I still had not received a response even though their support hours are listed from 9am - 7pm PST. Finally at 1:35pm PST, I received a response that they completely understood my frustrations and would pass it along to the management team who would arrange a call the next day. Aleksandra sent an e-mail at 8:08am PST on Thursday, July 29th to confirm that 2pm was a good time for her to chat today. I confirmed with her at 11:37am PST. It is now 2:06pm PST and I have yet to receive a confirmation from her or a phone call. Clearly Gorgias did not understand our frustrations and we are unfortunately forced to leave this review.

Integrations did not work during the call with a Gorgias employee but we were already charged a fee (which was refunded later). We also tried to solve the issue by ourselves but the documentation is not totally clear and we do not have enough resources for an extra task. It is frustrating to sign up to a new platform and run into problems from minute 0. I think the integration should be smoother and also they could offer a free implementation service for all the plans. Also the chat support service was not friendly and they took a lot of time to respond to our concerns.

I regret ever migrating from Re:Amaze. I cant comment on the software iteself because I cant get past the horrific customer support. Getting any help from Gorgias is like pulling teeth. They have zero regard for their customers time. STAY AWAY FROM GORGIAS IF YOU ARE GOING TO NEED ANY SUPPORT. And their support documentation is junk.

They don't listen to and don't care about customers. Its missing a MAJOR feature you have to have for ecommerce. Time tracking. Tons of people have been screaming for this for years and they just keep ignoring us. Want to know how efficient each customer support agent is? Can't do it. Want to know if you have a crazy customer that is taking up way too much time? Can't do it. Want to know the cost of customer support per brand? Can't do it. Time tracking is a simple easy feature they could they just don't care.

God these guys! Alright, they spammed me multiple times to go review and so I'll do it. Love the idea of the app, but their own support is really so poor it makes me worry how anyone can use their app for support. If you want to use Android, don't bother-- there's no app AND the web integration is completely broken. (It's close but has a major bug where you can't type anything to respond.) The CEO spams us with requests to review. I reply telling them their Android browser site is completely broken for responding to tickets-- I get two completely different people responding (not the CEO) and they're clueless as to what's going on or how to fix the issue. So they just say "use iOS" or something-- this is 2018, no idea why that's even possibly a response. Then I get another spam from their CEO saying I should review the app. So here I am... I hope they're happy! Maybe he reads these? Oh, and before I even tried Gorgias for real I asked them if they had a very simple feature via FB messenger-- I asked them if a customer could view their own tickets across different services or if they were left piecing it together from their chat logs/etc. Seems like an obvious help desk thing to do, right? Let customers see their own ticket history and responses, etc? (Just like what agents see, or perhaps cleaner...) but no, no such feature. Not the end of the world not to have a feature (I signed up anyway), but the support experience from them on Facebook was so bad. I realize now it's because they're using Gorgias itself and have multiple people responding. So the 1st person didn't understand what I was asking (hadn't seen a real helpdesk portal before I guess) and brushed me off--- then the 2nd person was confused, too. Finally I think that when I was fed up they put someone who was STILL confused, but at least was more cordial and finally understood what I was asking to tell me that, no, the novel feature of giving my VIP customers a way to see their ticket history wasn't something they'd thought of before (or didn't seem to have a desire to add). Like I said, not the end of the world not to have a feature like that-- perhaps I'll write it myself, but it should have tipped me off how bad their support quality is. The app itself on desktop is fine-- though it has a long way to go to be easy to use. If you have a lot of tickets, the very flat view structure they have will limit you and get cluttered/confusing (as the defaults already are). A little more iconography or folders or something would go a long way. Rules and their integrations seem to work pretty well, so I can't really fault them there-- I think that will go okay, especially if they work to refine things. But fundamentally if their own company can't even use the tool to create good support for their own tool, it really worries me that the entire premise of the tool is flawed for good support. It feels like whoever is on staff grabs any ticket and their goal is very rapid closing without actually solving issues-- and because the agent changes and they're rushed, they don't really engage at all to understand the question or issue. TLDR: App has potential, but (1) their own customer service is responsive but dismissive/un-engaging/etc which makes me feel like their own tool doesn't lend itself to amazing customer service (or they don't understand good customer service enough to be building this app), (2) they have no feature to let customers follow their own ticket history (which is big for building long-term loyalty and is found in most ticket systems), and (3) they literally ignore one of the most popular browsers on earth (Android/Chrome) and are dismissive that it doesn't work when they don't have an Android app yet. Oh, and they'll spam you to review their app without even bothering to be sure you're satisfied.

they say on the highest plan they will have someone dedicated to your account and that's a bologna , getting someone to get us up and running and help us design the campaigns is a task, we are still waiting for that dedicated rep who was supposed to help us 2 months ago. Software is good but promises are a joke.
