App did not backup and restore Variant data and metafields. The AI Chat and help files inform of API limitations, but other Apps can do it. Look elsewhere and save yourself the pain of data loss.
After doing a backup, certain in-text images did not get restored. Contacted support, although they were nice, could not fix the issue and said that Rewind Backups does not include these images. I had to manually fix many, many product pages and put these images back.
Then, a few weeks later these images were again removed, without doing a backup. Again, this is costing us many hours of manual work to restore these images.
We had a paid subscription and expected better performance.
If you are looking for an app that restores ALL aspects of your site, including all images, then don't use this app.
Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the hassle you experienced with restoring images.
To clarify, Rewind backs up and restores the exact HTML of your product descriptions, along with images that are properly attached to Shopify resources like products, variants, and collections. In your case, some of the images were added as standalone media via hard-coded URLs, which unfortunately means they weren’t linked to Shopify objects and couldn’t be included in the backup.
The best way to ensure full image coverage is to upload them using Shopify’s image picker. That way, the images are “attached” and Rewind can capture and restore them automatically.
We appreciate you highlighting this. Your feedback helps others avoid similar pain and gives us insight into where expectations can be clearer. Thanks again.
Not worth it. We have paid for over 3 years and never needed to use it once. Canceled due to a 533% price increase (from $3 to $19/month), with no noticeable improvement in value. Sudden price hikes like this break trust, especially for a "just-in-case" app. Hope this feedback helps others make an informed decision.
Data disasters happen all the time. We're glad you've never experienced one and we hope you never do. You don't have to use Rewind but we would caution that having a backup—and a way to restore data seamlessly in event of a disaster—is a must.
Rewind is about preparedness and knowing that if you ever have a problem, you have a clear, quick path to get back to business as usual.
They raised the pricing by double without announcing it.
Is there also a bigger benefit ?
I found nothing.
Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback. Our price update reflects our continued investment in new improvements that enhance the protection of your Shopify store, including: advanced backup and restore coverage for metafields and translations, backups and restores for Klaviyo and Mailchimp at no extra cost, and enterprise-grade security to keep your data safe.
We never want our valued customers to feel blindsided by these updates, and we strive to communicate as transparently as possible.

If you have thousands of products, do not rely on this.
Our store has thousands of products, I accidentally deleted some, so i used this app to restore all products to a date before I deleted the products.
For some reason this app changed the assigned variant image for hundreds if not thousands of products to display the wrong image. I havent been able to check how many products this app has messed up.
Update: in response to their response. I went back and forth with their support for a while, the end result was them telling me they could not reproduce the isssue, no fix.
Thank you for the review. We strive to make our data backup and recovery platform simple to use, secure, and reliable, and we're sorry that your experience with our platform did not meet those expectations. We want to work to remedy this image problem for you and understand what led to this happening. We see our Customer Support team has been in touch with you and is actively working on trying to find a solution. Please respond back to our team at your earliest convenience to help us resolve things for you as quickly as possible.
We had a terrible experience with this app. On go-live day, most of our data did not come across from our sandbox to the live store, so the team had to populate it manually.
Preis hat sich mehr als verdoppelt ! das ist nicht fair ! ich Kündige !
Danke für dein Feedback. Wir haben die Preise vor Kurzem erhöht und uns große Mühe gegeben, diese Änderung sowie die Gründe dafür offen mit unseren Kund:innen zu kommunizieren. Eine 1-Stern-Bewertung wäre verständlicher, wenn wir versucht hätten, die Preiserhöhung heimlich durchzuführen – aber wir respektieren deine Entscheidung. Entschuldigung, falls diese Übersetzung nicht gut ist.
(English:
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We did increase prices recently and went to great effort to ensure that price change and the reasoning behind it was communicated with customers. A 1-star review would seem more reasonable if we tried to sneak a price increase through but we respect your choice. Sorry if this translation is not good.)
UTTERLY USELESS.. HOW CAN A BACKUP NOT BACKUP INVENTORY COUNTS...TOTALLY USLESS. I can't believe they don't backup inventory counts
Hello, I’m Kaleigh - head of customer support here at Rewind. I wanted to reach out and make sure you understood that we completely empathize with your frustrations here, as they're frustrations we've felt ourselves.
Our backups rely on webhooks or little digital notifications from Shopify to us regarding items that have changed so that we can make a new record of it. When it comes to inventory - Shopify’s API currently does not consider a sale to be a change associated with a product. Which means that when you sell something, we are not notified of the inventory update as a ‘change’ to your product.
When a product is restored to an earlier version - we can keep the inventory exactly as it is in the present moment (because we can see it), but when a product is DELETED, we have no record of the inventory changes, so we set the inventory at 0.
Although we do backup your product images, title, description, tags, price and variants I want to apologize that inventory not being included in this this wasn’t clear, and assure you that it’s always top of mind for us in conversations with Shopify about the API.
Given the level of disappointment I’d really appreciate having a conversation with you about it and what we can do to help assure you of our commitment to backing up your store data as much as we possibly can.
Please feel free to email me at help@rewind.com so I can help resolve any lingering concerns you have about the process and again apologize for the misunderstanding.

Head of Customer Support
We have been with Rewind for over 1 year now, and we just came across an overcharge of $6 per month over our $10 per month subscription. When we asked why? we were told " oh you are in the old subscription " which is 65 orders per month". Yet we NEVER got an email to upgrade or enhance our subscriptions, There must be over 200 customers being effected by this, which to me is shady business. Why did you not automatically upgrade the customer who had 65 orders per month since they are paying $10 and the 200 orders per month is only $9? why were you taking an extra $7 per month from your customers?
When we asked for a refund or a credit the answer from support was " No so we did charge you accordingly for the plan you were on, if you would like to switch plans today you can avoid overage charges in the future"
When we asked for when exactly was the new subscription introduced to we can back track it and only get a refund from that date onward we were told " I do not have an exact date as to when the order based plans were introduced. "
This is shady and not good honest business, we will raise this concern to shopify and we will delete this app immediately.
This is our story, honesty is key in any business, and being grandfathered in a subscription has always been the case with many companies, but unfortunately not this one.
Take from this what you will.
We understand that being billed more than you were expecting can come as a shock. At all times we do our best to be as transparent as possible about historical plans and we will never force anyone to change a plan that’s working for them.
The plan you had originally signed up for came with overage charges. This is not something we attempted to conceal and something that at the time was clearly listed on our page. We would backup your store up to 20,000 items - and for every 2500 extra items above that threshold we charged $2.
This plan became a grandfathered plan in the wake of new plans we introduced in 2019, but as many of our clients were getting a better deal on the old plans, we didn’t force anyone to upgrade - nor could we even if we wanted to in accordance with Shopify’s billing procedures.
We understand however that despite all this, it did come as a surprise which is why a full refund has been initiated with Shopify’s billing team. Our support team is also more than willing to help you upgrade to our new plans which will save you some money if that is what you want to do. Please contact us at help@rewind.io or reply to any of our outreach to you.
The restores don't work. I have had 1 major and 1 minor restore, and both failed. You can't get any answers quickly, and my issues never get resolved. I was never able to recover the deleted information in a restore.
Hi there,
We are sorry to hear your restores did not work as you expected. We have been following the progress on your current ticket and are happy to say that both our Support and Development teams worked quickly and have gotten to the bottom of it! It looks like the Restore worked how it was meant to, but there appears to have been some confusion around Rewind functionality, and how the items originally appeared at the time(s) you chose to restore back to.
Please be assured that we will always work with you to restore your data as quickly as we can and as accurately as we can.
We kindly ask that you respond to our email or get in touch with our team at help@rewind.com as we would love to keep discussing this with you!
