Reviews for BOLD Subscriptions

Irfan has helped me out more than once. Getting good customer support is so important to us.

I was having a pricing issue with the bulk update feature on the app. I reached out to Bhumi and they quickly resolved the issue for me with simple, easy instructions. I always appreciate good customer service. Thanks Bhumi!

Thank you for being so responsive, Daniel!

The app is very easy to manage, both from the admin and customer vantages. We've been using it for 4+ years for our deodorants with no issues and almost immediate in app support for any issues you come across or questions you have. I recently had a question about an active subscription I have for a product that has no variants that I wanted to add a variant to but was worried it might disrupt the active subscriptions. Chintak was able to test different ways of solving the issues on a test store and I went from realizing a potential problem to having a solution in under 10 minutes on the help chat.

Chintak Pandya provided me quick and very accurate solutions to the issue I was having and was super patient and stayed with me while I had to pause talking to him and help a customer! We're glad Chintak was able to help you out. Thanks for the review!

Chintak has been very helpful, prompt and willing to assist in my needs! Thanks for the review! Don't hesitate to reach out if theres anything else we can help with.

Seamless with Shopify. BOLD continues to have excellent service people too We appreciate your kind words. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Chaysen was awesome to work with! He met my expectations and beyond! If the whole team has a servant heart like him, Bold will surely excel with their company. Thank you for such a seamless experience and your willingness to help me migrate everything over and offer more services. Thank you. Happy to hear your migration went well! Thank you.

Please GOD can someone help me?!?! Can anyone suggest an alternative app that I can retain these last remaining customers???? I'm DYING to find an alternative to this nightmare of an app. We used Bold v1 for years and everything was fine. Since they forced us to "upgrade" (ha hilarious to call it an upgrade), it has been a NIGHTMARE. I've spent hundreds of hours trying to get the "upgraded" app to work. The "seamless" migration was a fail that I had to fix every single existing subscription manually with custom discount codes & notes. Since then I have had every subscription group duplicate the frequency list over and over... to the point that you would need to scroll for 3 feet to find the end of the frequency list. Thousands of dollars lost, endless customer complaints. Went from 400+ subscribers to now only 68. Most of the orders placed for subscription don't actually create subscriptions. And no way for me to know that we just lost what should have been a recurring customer. Product pages look ridiculous with all the duplicate subscription frequency options. No customer could navigate these. Front end support staff always says they have to escalate to developers, but no way to talk to developers directly. Around 2 weeks after contact I get an email saying everything is "fixed" and what that usually means is I have to start over trying to fix every item from A-Z manually. Can't remove the subscription widget no matter what I do. I've even deleted every subscription group and the damn widget still remains (sometimes duplicated five times over). After getting 3 months free three times over for "frustration"... I have been working on this for over a year... I gave up on even contacting them for credit. My DREAM is to dump them, contact my credit card company to dispute remaining charges (including their "oops.. we may have charged you too much for processing fees for months"... no shit, my processing fees tripled) by explaining their fraud, BUT I have these 68 subscriptions remaining. Can anyone suggest an alternative that I can retain these last remaining customers???? Shopify should have more control over this. This app should not even be an offer on their app market. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. THIS APP IS A SCAM. Please, if you have an alternative that I can migrate over to please let me know. This experience has brought me to the point of considering ending the online side of my business just to end this nightmare.

I have used the subscriptions for about 5 years now. The app has been great and the support when needed has been just as awesome. Thankfully I don't need support very often!

Excellent support from Irfan today, thank you so much!

I have enjoyed this app. The first version was a bit complex to set up, but now that they've updated everything, it seems to be working smoothly. There have been some hiccups, but every time I've reached out, the staff are always quick to respond and resolve issues. Thank you Chintak! You were a great help!

Chintak very helpful and patient with me to help me understand the complexities of my challenging setup. Thank you Chintak, you are a true blessing!

Daniel is the Bomb!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS APP!!!

The app is very easy to navigate. If you ever run into any issues, their support team has always done a great job. I've worked a lot with Chintak and he's always resolved any issue quickly. Great app and great support!

We had an issue with the Liquid code that meant that we couldn't make full use of the application's functionality. Taylor made an amendment to the code remotely and got us up and running within an hour. Very happy!

very helpful with screenshots to guide me. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

TL;DR This app charges WAY more for WAY less functionality We have been using the BOLD Subscription app for over 9 years and I have been incredibly disappointed in the transition from v1 to this version of the app. The new version of the app is missing several key features that were included in v1: *No customer activity notification: in v1 we would get an email if a customer changed or canceled their subscription order, keeping our customer service team in the loop. *No confirmation to the customer if they change or cancel their order. There are email confirmations when a subscriber starts a new subscription or there is a payment issue, so I don't know why they didn't include options for editing or canceling a subscription. *In v1 customers could define their own subscription interval. Creating multiple variations to match the intervals that our customers are looking would create a very cumbersome list for the customer to have to sort through. *Flat Rate Shipping only for subscription order. We have subscription customers who use our local pick-up option, guess we won't be getting orders from them anymore! *Doesn't work with other BOLD apps. One of the main selling points for us almost a decade ago was that we could use the BOLD Subscriptions app with Custom Pricing and Upsells, but according to the BOLD Help Center the apps are no longer compatible. To add insult to injury our cost for BOLD Subscriptions is projected to 100x (yes, that is a one-hundred times increase!) over the cost we were paying for v1. I thought shrinkflation at the grocery store was bad, but this is ridiculous. We are currently looking at upgrading to Shopify Plus to manage our custom pricing and switching to the Shopify subscription app. I will say the front-line service team that I have interacted with has always been perfectly pleasant and are probably the best employees in the entire company.

Daniel helped me navigate learning bold and some glitches customers were having! He was great! We're glad to hear you had a great experience with our support team! Thanks for leaving a review.

10 STARS for CHINTAK. They did not give up until a solution was found. Friendly, thorough and persistent. Thank you, Chintak! Thank you for the kind words about Chintak! We're happy to help.

Taylor did a fantastic job. Thank you BOLD Glad to hear you had a positive experience with our support team. Thanks for the review!

Bold's Migration Team was a big help in getting us up to speed in our latest update. Brysen and Cody worked with our team to ensure we had everything working as intended for our subscription products without interruptions to our existing customers. We're thrilled to hear you had a positive experience for your subscription migration. Thanks for the kind words.

The migration process was very simple. The team stayed in communication and answered all of my questions. Appreciate the support and would recommend bold to other organizations. Thanks for the review! Comments like these keep us going.

Do not use this app! I have never left a bad review for any app or product in my life, but I feel compelled to save anyone from having to deal with all that we have dealt with in this app. Not only does it continue to have problems, but they have the WORST customer service that I have ever experienced. They do not have any access to a live agents, ever. They have very limited business hours so if you have a major issue, which we have multiple times, you can not get any assistance if it is outside of their M-F central time office hours. Being an app in the eccommerce space, they should realize that these business are 24-7 and should at least attempt to have expanded hours since issues arise over the weekend too. They have shown us multiple times that they do not care that their platform glitches cause a disturbance in your business. That it could cost you customers. They simply don't seem to care. They show no concern about how long it takes them to even answer the support ticket in a timely manner, let alone actually fix the issue in a timely manner. I am always patient when it comes to tech because I realize that stuff happens and errors occur and all of that, but I am telling you. I have had more awful experiences with this app, its service, and its lack of customer service than I have ever experienced and I am so very frustrated. I have resisted changing to a new subscription app because I was worried about migrating to something new, but I should have a long time ago because this app continues to be a nightmare. Please keep looking and save yourself the trouble of dealing with this app. I am certainly moving on!
