BOLD Subscriptions

If you are a small-medium merchant, DO NOT DO NOT switch to Bold!

My migration from V1 to V2 was horrendous.

On numerous occasions in the past year, entire batches of subscriptions were not processed overnight, for no apparent reason. First tier customer service is not helpful, it feels like they respond from a script. The tendency is always to blame Shopify and to divert inquiries to them. You can’t call a hotline, you can’t get transferred to a supervisor. You just get semi robotic replies in their online chat (that only works during day time business hours). If you are lucky enough to convince them to escalate your complaint to a higher level, you wait 24-48 hours for an email reply.

Most recently, BOLD significantly overcharged me for the 1% transaction fee. I brought this to their attention before it became announced that the issue affected other merchants. After two weeks of waiting for an update, I had to follow up again and was given their wonderful solution. In a nutshell: “We (Bold) made a mistake. You have been charged incorrectly. We are now going to charge you the correct amount. Shopify will refund you the incorrectly charged amount in a few days/weeks”. Unbelievable! No substantial apology, no compensation for the time and effort. I feel like it will now be up to me to chase after Shopify to get my money back for the mistake that BOLD made. For a fintech company, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Take my advice, read the reviews for other apps, and chose one of those. BOLD may go out of their way for the large enterprises, but small businesses get treated like crap. I am going to start working in migrating to an alternative platform asap.

V2 has been great for us.

I needed a few things yesterday, and the service was fantastic. Fast, responsive. Able to do customizations.

Excellent app and brilliant, fast support from the team. Special shoutout to Irfan, Chaysen & Evan. Thank you

I had a quick issue with setting my default from subscription to one-time purchase and Krupa was able to help me quickly with a screenshot and quick video. I have had bold for 3 years and their customer service is really good.

We have used Bold Subscriptions for over three years to bill our monthly recurring Shopify accounts. Have experienced virtually no issues and have had great support when required. Love the new app dashboard. Would highly recommend to any business needing a reliable customer billing platform.

This plugin is good option if you want to have a product or donation subscription. It supports for many kinds of payment method with Shopify Payments. Also, the support team is available to answer any question or concern including migration V1 to V2.
Excellent!

Bold Subscriptions is easy to use, and the customer service team is able to quickly help us resolve issues. We worked with Krupa a few times from their CS team and they're great :)

DO NOT USE THIS APP.

If you are migrating from Bold v1 to this app because V1 is no longer supported - your experience will be terrible.

Really basic features are missing - the support team gives you attitude and treats you like you are stupid when you ask questions.

NO Build-a-box migration.
NO fixed-term contract options
NO Convertible options for migration.
It is NOT an embedded app, so if you want to change anything, they refer you to the theme code and ask you to change it yourself.

Really simple features are missing, along with all the main features above.

NEW users - STAY AWAY.
MiGRATING users - I wish you good luck.

There is a reason it is the lowest-rated subsciption app on Shopify. BOLD used to be a great company with great apps, but they have dropped the ball on this one.

Overly complicated. Don't support dev stores so you have to pay on a real store to play around, slow support and dont support new shopify accounts

Customer service is super helpful! I was struggling to help a customer and Krupa did everything they could to help me find the right solution! The tips I was given will be saved in the event I run into the same issues again.
