Terrible app, it is very complicated to set up and the support team took a long time to respond. If you use a custom theme, you need a special developer to implement the functions of the app. There is also no way to NOT charge a wholesale customer the VAT fee. When you apply a % discount for a customer across different markets, you need to manually enter a custom pricing for each product price, because the app is not able to automatically calculate the discounted price without the VAT %. We have wasted so many days trying to fix this and get this to work, all to no avail. You are much better off handling the orders manually or try out another app.
Hi there,
My name is Mida, Team Leader at BSS Commerce.
I’m truly sorry to hear about your recent experience with our app, and I completely understand your frustration. We strive to provide the best possible service, but it seems we fell short in this case.
Many Shopify themes can sometimes cause conflicts with third-party apps, and we would be more than happy to offer free support to resolve any issues you encountered.
Regarding the custom pricing configuration and VAT fee deduction, I acknowledge that this can be a bit complex. I sincerely apologize that one of our agents wasn’t able to guide you through the process as thoroughly as you needed.
We would really appreciate the opportunity to make things right and help improve your experience. Please don’t hesitate to reach out at support-sbc@bsscommerce.com, and we’ll do everything we can to assist you further.
Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to hear from you soon!
I usually prefer not to leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience to warn other serious business owners. The positive reviews mostly seem to come from users who are not yet aware of the negative impact this application can have on their webshop.
We have been using this application for a while and frequently encounter bugs that we cannot fix ourselves. That’s why we contacted support and explicitly stated that no changes should be made to the appearance of our theme.
They requested access to our webshop, which we provided. The next morning, I checked to see if the issue had been resolved. To my surprise, they had made changes to the theme. They added a large table in English displaying discount percentages, visible to everyone—even though we specifically asked them not to make such modifications.
Additionally, they changed certain settings, causing all orders to now go through BSS, which has completely disrupted our conversion tracking. As a result, our advertising campaigns are no longer running optimally, leading to higher ad costs.
Despite working on a fix for two days, they still don’t understand the issue and haven’t been able to resolve it. They have left us with significant damage and are offering a mere three-month discount as ‘compensation’—as if that would cover our losses or restore our trust in this application.
We are considering removing the application, but we fear this might make the situation even worse.
It is concerning that such applications are allowed, as they can cause severe damage to businesses without users even realizing it.
Our store isn't compatible with the app and they weren't willing to help us unless we uninstalled other apps we currently use (we are unable to uninstall those apps). We paid $50 for the app, had it less than 24 hours, and they refused to refund us. We really wanted to work with the development team to make this app work for us, but it is unfortunate they were not willing to issue a refund.
The pricing structure of this app forces you to pay for the highest tier just to get all of the most basic features you should have for B2B. The ability to provide customers with tax exempt status is basic in B2B but you cannot offer that unless you are on the highest paid plan.
Hopefully the devs see this review and adjust things, but based on the other reviews, it does not appear they will make any adjustments to the pricing tiers.
Hi there,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback.
I'm Mida, Team Leader from BSS Commerce. First of all, we’re truly sorry to hear that our pricing structure didn’t meet your expectations. We completely understand that features like tax-exempt status are essential for B2B businesses.
Just to share a bit of context — implementing the Tax Exemption feature involves ongoing costs on our end, particularly for integrating and maintaining third-party APIs that validate VAT numbers across different regions, especially for EU and other international compliance standards. That’s why this feature is currently included in our higher-tier plans.
That said, we truly value your input and understand how pricing can be a deal-breaker. While we haven’t had the chance to assist you yet, we’d really appreciate an opportunity to learn more about your needs and explore if there’s a better way we can support you.
If you’re open to it, please feel free to reach out to us at support-sbc@bsscommerce.com. We're happy to discuss in more detail and possibly find a better fit for your use case.
We genuinely hope you might consider revising your 1-star review — it means a lot to a small but passionate team like ours. Either way, thank you again for the constructive feedback — it's helping us shape the future of our app.
EXTREMELY UNHELPFUL SUPPORT TEAM -
Update as of 3/20/25
It almost feels like a prank how they are avoiding to help you after you ask them for something, at 1am they email you saying '' do you really confirm this action?'' and when you confirm it they say they can't do it.
They spam your email at 1 in the morning saying they can't help you
because it's their lunchtime. They beg for reviews, this is my third time editing this review as it's impossible to get help without leaving a bad review. The app keeps crashing - especially if you have large amount of items. For an app that's so expensive, it's ridiculous how unhelpful they are.
Update as of 2/20/25 :
They ignore our support requests. We are using the platinum plan ($100 a month). We have been trying to reach them for the past few days through in-app chatbox, email and whatsapp yet Selina and Emma keeps ignoring them.
Downloaded the app for the 14 day free trial and the app won't even let me use any of the features unless I pay for the services. How am I supposed to know if I like it, if I can't even set anything up such as wholesale forms, wholesale pricing, etc. Uninstalled after using for only about 15 minutes.
Uygulama artık kullanılamıyor. Zor durumda kaldık.
Hi there,
This is Jonas from BSS Commerce. Such a pity that you uninstalled our app and left us a 1-star review.
I have double-checked your history and see that you upgraded to a paid Shopify plan then started a paid plan with our app on Mar 7.
On Aug 2, you canceled our app and left a 1-star review as
""The app is no longer available. We are in a difficult situation."
which made us quite confused what exactly happened since you haven't reached out to us yet.
Could we please discuss some more regarding the situation so that we can assist you much further and resolve this?
Looking forward to hearing you soon at support-sbc@bsscommerce.com or via our Live Chat from the app!
[UPDATE] While B2B has obviously taken great strides to address my previously reported issues, they are still missing the mark, especially regarding communication. B2B has begun sending out weekly updates to note the changes ALREADY made within the past week, but unfortunately all communication is still reactive, rather than proactive and there is no acknowledgement of basic change management practices. Ideally, we would love to be notified before new enhancements are put in production and given the chance to test with a test environment or at least update our own code to match. Instead, we are notified after-the-fact and in such general terms that we don’t always know the exact changes that were made. For example, there was a recent update to the API response received upon failure to update a price rule. The layout of the JSON response was so different from the previous responses that our process posting the updates could no longer recognize failures. This change resulted in hundreds of price rule updates failing without retries or notifications. End result: our catalog pricing is completely off and must be diffed back in. This has resulted in the lost of not only orders, but a partnership that was under discussion. All things considered, I am rather surprised that this is such a highly-recommended solution in the Shopify App store.
--previous--
On the surface, it looks like a really good tool, but our experience has not been stellar. In the end, better communication and follow up would be a very helpful.
Here is a rundown on the issues we have/are encountering:
- The B2B/Wholesale team updates the app with no advanced notice and no release notes. Which wouldn’t be a big problem except that recently most updates have included changes that break the solution. This has resulted in a wide range of issues including - but not limited to - inaccurate pricing, inconsistent pricing, no pricing, and in the most recent incident – selling all items on the site for $5 each. Without advance notice we cannot even plan to test or be on alert for potential issues, which leaves us at the mercy of the customer reporting issues.
- Additionally app updates have – more than once – overwritten our custom code in various places on the site, resulting in inaccurate/incomplete information displayed to the customer. We have had to rollback or modify their changes several times to correct introduced bugs.
- We have two outstanding issues at present where:
o Liquid code contains multiple price rules for same item (only one rule defined) – customers may see either price (seems to be selected at random)
o In rare circumstances, the prices displayed to customer change when either added to the cart, or during the checkout process.
- Updates have been pushed to the API without warning and without documentation which changed how the API responds to calls, resulting – in one instance – in the creation of thousands of duplicate price records. The API online documentation has still not been updated to reflect these changes, though we did get them to rollback (or at least change again) the issue that caused the duplicate price records.
- We have submitted many tickets to customer support. While we have had great support on some tickets, others have been very poorly handled – in one instance our ticket was merged with a ticket from an entirely different customer and we started getting copied on that customer’s ticket updates, and we believe they were receiving our updates on the same issue including screenshots and documentation. In another instance our ticket was “merged with another ticket” and we never received another update; those updates are probably going to someone else.
Overall, need better release testing, communciation and overall process control while improving helpdesk ticket management and follow up.
We are so sorry for all the inconveniences that you faced with our app so far.
Our team has been optimizing the app as well as our system so that you won't face theses kind of issues again. Also, our agent is now working along with you via our ticket system to resolve all issues you've mentioned.
Again, kindly accept our apologize for these all. We will try our a best to revise your experience with our app and our team.
I have had the app installed for a few months. It is full of features but it is also unreliable and has a fair share of bugs. The pricing has failed MULTIPLE times and charged customers full price instead of the discounted rate. Previously (not in the past 2 months) the "servers" have also failed and caused customers to see and be charged full pricing. Now today I have added new products to custom pricing lists and the discounts are not working. It's really fustrating to pay $50/m for an app that is not reliable.
Tried to partner with this app because it looked ideal and had good reviews. Being in Australia, we were directed to an office in Vietnam. Had a rushed demo and then we sent an email with one single question. A "ticket" was sent to us but had no content. Followed up a few times seeking an answer or more info. No replies to the emails. Eventually sent one saying will you assist, or should I give up? No response. Very disappointed.
