Appstle℠ Bundles App & Upsells

TL, DR: I loved Appstle's customer service, they went above and beyond. Appstle Bundles & Upsells offers several options, very customizable. I hit limits with Shopify's rules & a big snag on Appstle's Combo Deal when trying to offer a selection of add-on options since my products aren't in a single list format. I give the app 7/10 for being very useful, but alittle confusing, and their customer service an easy 10/10. Shopify gets rated significantly lower in general for the ridiculous limits.

We'll also be choosing Appstle's other apps for future needs.

-------------------------

There's a lot of options with this app and I highly recommend it for the price, features, and service. Very much worth it if you're looking to upsell products or create add-ons. I also HIGHLY recommend speaking with their tech team, they're very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful, available 24/7 and willing to set up a call with you to help you figure things out. They really go the extra mile! Thanks Alvin & Devin!!! Much appreciated.

It was honestly difficult getting started - my expectations for what I could do with this app were a little different than what was offered & there's a lot of options + settings to go through / figure out what goes where.

My only complaint with the app specifically is that the Combo Bundle option was not as customizable as I wanted it to be.

You can only add one specific product to the combo deal - if the item you choose for the deal is not available in a list with other options at the same price.

For instance, we sell different types of herbs in various package sizes. Each herb has it's own product page, with a dropdown list of available package sizes. Each size is obviously a different price.

I don't want them getting different package sizes for the same discounted add-on price, so I'm limited to one herb and one package size to offer for that add-on because they aren't all in a dropdown menu in the same size:

* Like our samples are, for example. I have a sample page & since the herbal samples are all the same size/price, they're all on one page, in one single dropdown menu. This worked great for creating a Combo Bundle "add-on" for a 5-pack of samples. I was really happy with that, worked perfectly. But not so much for the regular package sizes for each individual herb.

Some Shopify Limitations To Be Aware Of:

- Shopify also has a 25 automatic discount limit, and those count as automatic discounts - which I was trying to add to 30+ different products and found out on product number 24, as we were having a sale that day.

- For other Bundle Deals, you're limited to 100 variations. You would think this means 100 different products, but it actually means all of your products put together in under 100 ways. If you have 3 choices for one bundle, you can only have a few products available for choices as each possible combo counts as a variation.

- For A Fixed Price Bundle, I also had to create a new product page for it before I could finish the bundle.

This was NOT a problem on my previous website, and NOT Appstle's fault - I just want reviewers to know these things ahead of time so they're not hours into testing & creating only to find out you're much more limited than expected.

Back to the Combo Deal Add-on For My Herbs...

My solution: I decided instead to save room for more bundles and such. I would just select one herb in the small package size for the $10 add-on, and then also & keep the deals per category, not per product. I'll just have to switch out the offered item(s) from time-to-time, but I wish it didn't have to be that difficult.

My suggestion is to add a new ability in the future: a custom "type-it-yourself" deal. Let the customer create a customer dropdown menu, type in the prices, etc. & not be connected to products already listed in Shopify.

On my last website (not Shopify), I used a different company for our add-on products. I was able to do just that - simply create a checkbox with a dropdown menu next to it, listing each add-on product option, and set the pricing for each option. That way the customer could check the box if they wanted an add-on, choose which herb & size at the prices I set, despite each herb having different product pages and prices per size. If the box was selected, the option showed up in checkout and on orders.

But in any case, I've been playing around & creating new / different types of bundles & sales & I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Thanks so very much to the Appstle team for their excellent customer service, they were vital in my success in creating add-ons.

We'll be back to support the team - we already use their subscription service, and we'll be upgrading for our needs and then getting their loyalty points app soon. Thanks again, Appstle.

Best Bundle and Upsells app hands down. Very professional and kind team, they helped me with all my issues. Helped me solve everything in a fast and efficient manner.

They also removed the watermark for free, without me even asking for it.

The app is really good, it allows even for the most complex offers. I can only recommend it!

**Amazing App & Outstanding Customer Support!**

Appstle Bundles is a fantastic app, but what really makes it stand out is the incredible customer support! The team went above and beyond to help me customize the bundle widget for my store, including the Arabic layout, RTL support, and custom font.

They were patient, professional, responsive, and genuinely dedicated to helping me get everything right. A special thanks to Max for his time, effort, and excellent support!

It's rare to find a support team that cares this much about its customers. Highly recommended to any Shopify store owner looking for a great bundling app with outstanding customer service!
