Advanced Store Localization

I've been using this app for almost 2 years now and it works very well.
Instead of creating a whole 2nd store I manage US & Canada on the same Shopify platform. If MAP differ I duplicate the product and show one in one country and the other on the other one. I exclude countries I don't want to have access and redirect them to google (for security issues/hacks etc...). I can exclude whole collections or simple items per country. Easy to use. Wherever I have any issue the support team is always here to help and very responsive. Happy customer.

This is literally the first time I've had to leave a poor review anywhere, but in this case, it is well deserved. Think twice before investing in this app!

TL;DR:

This app may offer enticing functionality, but beware - it comes with poor support and is not a simple plug-and-play solution. After changing ownership, the app's support services deteriorated drastically. They failed to address our configuration issues after a theme update, resulting in a 5-figure loss in sales and counting. Despite repeated attempts to resolve the problem, their responses were automated and they did not take any concrete action.

Full review:

We have been using this app for over two years, during which the service quality has taken a severe dive, particularly in terms of support.

In our initial experience, the developer of the app, Alex, provided commendable support. When one of the key features we needed wasn't working, he stepped in and got everything up and running in a matter of 3-4 days. But the trouble began when Alex sold the app to the current company.

Our woes began when we updated our theme and found that the previous configuration wasn't compatible. Reaching out to the new support team was the first step in a frustrating cycle of poorly handled support and ineffective communication. The support team directed us to their 'resources', which consisted of a paltry three videos, and suggested we fix the problem ourselves. This issue wasn't a simple "one size fits all" situation that could be easily solved using their standard resources.

After much back and forth, the support team finally tried to work on the configuration, but to no avail. In fact, their attempts not only failed to resolve the issues with the new theme but also effectively messed up the previous theme's configuration. We couldn't revert back to the old theme, and neither could we move forward with the new one. The prolonged downtime and the issues with the themes cost us a staggering 5-figure loss in sales revenue.

The response from the support team was nothing short of canned answers, with insincere assurances that our issue was important and that they were working to resolve it. However, they didn't put any real effort into the problem. How do I know this? Because when we removed their access to our store, they didn't even realize it!

After a month of fruitless emails and non-existent 'work' on the issue, they finally admitted that they hadn't even started on the problem, using 'unusually high traffic issues' as an excuse. The empty promise to 'work on the request as soon as possible' offered no relief, given that it's been a month since our initial report.

In summary, while this app may offer significant functionality, it is far from a plug-and-play solution. It requires hands-on configuration, either from a developer or from the app creators. However, based on our experience, you certainly shouldn't depend on the latter. The poor quality of their support service and their lack of help have proven to be disastrous for us.

As it stands, the app itself is rendered useless without proper configuration and support. We're still waiting for our issue to be resolved. So if you're thinking of getting this app, please consider this review as a cautionary tale.

Great app and top tier support by the developers. I found it a little hard to set up but with their assistance was able to have everything functioning as desired.
A tentative 5 stars because I haven't used all the features yet, so can't report on the comprehensive app experience.

UX design could be better, but the app does what it suppose to do and customer service is fast! It took about 1 day to figure out how it works.

App has really helped me with what I needed it to do. Saved me from building a whole new site.

Customer service has always been really good and fast.
