Très réactifs grace au chatbot on arrive facilement à debloquer une situation et vérifier des paramétrages. Je n'ai pas encore de retour client, mais je pense que JOY sera efficace pour le consommateur également. Merci à vous
- Nov 5, 2026
Great app and very easy to implement. The included features are generous, and the support team is exceptionally fast, knowledgeable, and helpful. Highly recommended.
- Oct 27, 2026
I suggest staying away from Joy. Their development team completely broke our theme beyond repair and without telling us, they published a draft theme. This is completely unacceptable. No third-party app has ever done anything like this in our seven years with Shopify.
