Internal chat for e-commerce merchants
π¬ Here's a preview of our initial release featuring a simple and straightforward internal chat, enabling merchants to effortlessly communicate brief messages (kind of like tweets) throughout the entire process of managing returns, complaints, or exchange requests.
βοΈ Due to time constraints, this had to be swiftly designed and implemented, leaving any non-essential features for upcoming versions of the chat.
π€ How does it work? Multiple accounts can be linked to a single store on Shopify, allowing several individuals to engage and manage the same request. To enhance communication clarity throughout the process, we've integrated this internal chat.
βοΈ Comments, however, can be removed, but a trace will persist, indicating that the comment has been deleted. This feature ensures transparency by acknowledging the removal of a comment, leaving a visible mark to inform users that a deletion has taken place.
π§ A concern arose about occasional difficulties in connecting the individual leaving a comment inside the app with the Shopify account they are logged into.
π€ To address this, we implemented a contingency plan: an additional field will be included where the person must also input their name to ensure accurate association with their account.
