Good app. Customer service is superb. Gursharandeep went above and beyond helping us. Our only gripe was that it does slow the loading speed somewhat, but that's inevitable with almost any app.
Thank you for your review. We are happy that the support team was there to help and especially Gursharandeep! We are always working on app improvements and really appreciate the feedback.
Update: the issue has still not been worked out, as per response from Bold.
Unfortunately, there is a serious glitch in Bold's currency conversion in the subscription app. Bold has still not been able to resolve this after over a month, and it's causing us ongoing issues for our customers and our accounting.
It's been frustrating as they are taking a long time to answer, I've been passed around and had to answer the same question by different people twice, and now the person who I had been speaking to has gone on holiday and I've been passed to someone else.
The glitch is that when customers have their subscriptions changed from the backend they then get charged the amount set by our store, only it's in their original purchase currency. So if the price in our store is 49.60 AUD, and the customer originally purchased their subscription in USD, when we swap a product for them, they start getting charged 49.60 USD instead of 32 USD (which is the correct conversion rate).
It's a massive issue, as we changed the products in ALL our customers' subscriptions (the customer was effectively getting the same product, we just had to create new SKUs in Shopify and update the subscriptions accordingly), so this is now happening to around 25% of subscription transactions, as these are in USD.
Also, when we change products in the backend, some customers are being charged for postage and others aren't - we have no idea why.
Thanks so much for writing in with your feedback. We are so sorry to hear of the frustration you’ve experienced with the currency conversion as well as the wait from our team. We take this feedback very seriously as this is not the expected behaviour of Bold Subscriptions. I can confirm our team has been in contact and have uncovered a cause. Please keep your eye out for further communication. We would love to turn this around and get you back on track to success!
just installed, I must have made an error somewhere in the code - but i popped on live chat and simran had it fixed within 10 minutes. I look forward to working with the bold team going forward if this is the ustomer service thats to be expected.
Thank you for your kind review. We are thrilled that Simran was able to fix the error you were experiencing. We look forward to working with you as well, remember we are always there when you need us. Thank you for choosing Bold!
Customer service is responsive but the app itself has some issues. No bulk edit or pause button- so if we are skipping a week of delivereis I need to manually go in and change each individual subscribers account. Also they don't charge taxes on the initial sign up for taxed items (but they do on subsequent charges). If you edit a product in a subscription group it will not update current subscribers to the updated product- you will need to swap with another product then swap back. Works week to week but when you want to do anything else it is a real pain.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write in with your feedback. Our developers are always working on ways to improve Bold Subscriptions and bulk changes are coming soon! Our team has reached out to provide some help with the tax issue you are seeing as this would not be the expected behaviour. Please keep an eye out for the email from our team. We would love to help get to you back on track!
Email support was helpful and solved my problem during setup, including a link to videos for my next steps. (Thanks, Taylor.) I'm looking forward to trying out the app in more detail during the trial period...
Thank you for your review. We are so pleased that we were able to solve your problem. If you ever need any assistance with set up we would be happy to help!
Mayank was the representative that helped me. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I'm happy! I enjoy using the app.
We are so happy that you are enjoying the app! Thank you for the kind review.
Excellent customer service, they helped me to solve a problem, in this case with the Simran agent, it was very clear and concise, 100% recommended app.
That's great to hear that our support team was there to help solve your problem! Thank you for the recommendation and looking forward to seeing your subscriptions grow!
The migration from Bold v1 to Bold v2 has been terrible. We've had customers with duplicate orders and now customers are being sent notification from v1 despite the fact they're on V2. We've lost subscribers and wasted customers time and had to take on a lot of extra customer service. YOU'VE STILL NOT RESPONDED
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are very sorry for the troubles you have encountered after the migration. I can confirm our team is taking this very seriously and are looking into the issue further. Hopefully we can get this back on track for you and improve your experience going forward.
great app, very simple to use
The support team very helpful and sorted my issue quickly will be signing up for sure.
Thank you so much for the review! Happy to hear that our team was able to provide quick and helpful support.
Getting subscriptions going on my Shopify store has been quite a challenge. I had trouble with my theme, and the BOLD staff provided me with a specially coded theme package in one day. I have found the online help pages for BOLD SUBSCRIPTIONS to be very valuable. I would be lost without them. Whenever I have a problem, I quickly get a help-chat session going, and good answers are provided very promptly. After much struggle, I learned that Bold Subscriptions does not support the Shopify Express theme, which I was using. I switched to the Debut theme, and it was much easier to do this than I anticipated. There are a good number of small, obviously needed features that V2 does not have yet. For example, my shipping frequencies are all out of order, and no means to sort them is provided, The support people have been good about submitting the feature requests that I ask for.
Thank you so much for the review and the very helpful feedback. We are very happy to hear that despite some difficulties with the app that you found our online resources and live chat helpful. Wishing you all the best with launching subscriptions on your store!
