Artistry.io

It's a great app with tremendous potential! Once you understand the workflow, it is relatively easy to build a good looking product builder. But the options within the app are still limited, and the website implementation on shopify sites is rather clunky. BUT IT WORKS!

Very poor support.

Tried to reach out to them several times via phone and email, reinstalled the tool but it's still not working.

The team at Artistry has been a joy to work with. We had this idea of a personalized or custom Mini Hoop and the dream has become a reality... due to this application. The Build-A-Hoop experience is simple, easy with a great output so the customer can see the hoop they have built. Thank you Luis and team.

From the moment I integrated the Artistry app into our Shopify store, the experience has been nothing short of transformative. As an online merchant, finding the right tools to elevate your store’s aesthetics while keeping the user interface intuitive can be daunting. Artistry effortlessly bridges that gap, providing a suite of customizable options that cater to the unique flair of our brand.

The integration was a breeze, and the way it melds into our store’s existing theme is incredible.

Beyond the app’s functionality, what has genuinely set Artistry apart for us is the support team. In a digital world where customer service often falls by the wayside, Artistry's team has been responsive, knowledgeable, and overwhelmingly helpful - they've addressed every query and provided solutions with a speed and efficiency that's rare to encounter.

Ease of use is another commendable aspect of Artistry. Even with its robust capabilities, never once have we felt overwhelmed. It's designed for those who aspire to create a beautiful online presence without getting entangled in the complexities of web design. This ease of use does not compromise on power or flexibility, which speaks volumes about the thought put into the app's development.

Integration with our store was another smooth aspect worth mentioning. Artistry synced with our existing setup without a hitch, maintaining the integrity of our content and layout while enhancing our capabilities. It’s reassuring to have an app that works with you, rather than against you, as you grow your e-commerce business.

If you’re looking to enhance your Shopify store with an app that offers limitless customization, an intuitive interface, and stellar support, it's Artistry. It's an essential tool in our e-commerce arsenal, and we can't recommend it highly enough. It’s not just an app; it’s a partner in your online retail journey.

Rating: 5/5 Stars

I like this app. I used to love it.

I got on board with Artistry when Luis had just launched it, it was promising, it needed work but it definitely had potential. there was a lot of talk about Special AI that helps sell more products to your customers and when you contacted Luis he would respond instantly and really push the level of support through the roof to help you. Best of all was the commission based pricing structure that meant they would earn as you would earn so you knew they were really entwined in giving you a better product.

Fast forward a few months and not much has changed with the app itself. The Dropbox integration is a really good addition that saves time - this is probably the most unique thing about the app and i haven't found it elsewhere (yet...).

Other things have changed though. All that talk of specialist AI (Frida was it??) has completely gone. The pricing increased by changing the structure to a minimum payment and then commission based when it goes above that. The commission rate is very high compared to other apps of this type on the market.

The back end is quite clunky and difficult to understand until you fully get your head around how it works. It took me several weeks to work it all out and I'm not exactly a technophobe. The whole product template creation process is not very intuitive at all, there is no flow to the situation.

One of the most annoying things about artistry.io is the long time is takes for the javascript to start on the product page changing the add to cart button to the customize button. others have mentioned it in reviews and it really does get annoying as it can take 10 - 15 seconds to appear. With the way people browse the internet these days they simply don't wait that long unless you have absolutely captivated them with your product and they can't get it elsewhere.

And so to the Support. Cindy is a co-founder and the support Guru. She is really helpful and always responds, the problem is that as artistry has expanded Luis still seems to be the only developer and when things go wrong with the app it can take a long time to get fixed (it doesn't happen often but it does happen). It feels like Luis concentrates his attention on those customers that are paying extra for customisation of the template (quite rightly in his eyes).

Speaking of customization of artistry, thats also something that unless you're knowledgeable in CSS and liquid code then you'll be getting your wallet out again to pay a hefty price for basic integrations. Want the custom product image to show up in the cart? that'll be $100, want the customise button changed from being javascript to actually being in place of the add to cart button that'll be $1000 (no that's not a typo...), Just basic integration of the style of artistry into your website theme will cost in the 4 figures. These are all things that are inclded as standard on other apps.

IN SUMMARY: Artistry has let things slip recently. They started off so well and maybe its just growing pains as they get bigger, but they need to up their game to compete with newer, cheaper and more polished apps like Zakeke.
