BOLD Subscriptions

I wanted to provide feedback regarding the recent migration of my subscription. Unfortunately, the experience has been less than satisfactory. Since the migration, the shipping method and store pickup options haven’t been functioning properly, and this has caused significant inconvenience.

I’ve always appreciated your service in the past, but this transition has been frustrating, and I cannot rate it positively in its current state. If there is anything that can be done to resolve these issues, I’d be happy to discuss further.

Taylor did a fantastic job. Thank you BOLD

I forbindelse med en migration af subscribers fra Bold Subsciptions v1 til Bold Subscriptions with Shopify Payment har jeg fået fantastisk hjælp i denne uge af Cody i Customer Service. Cody holdt fokus på opgaven, holdt mig løbende godt informeret om processen og kom i mål med det.

BOLD has worked well for my business for the last 5 years. It's been reliable and help was provided whenever I had a (rare) issue. I just migrated from V1 to V2 and support was helpful throughout the whole process. Everything is working well so far, and I appreciate Chintak walking me through all the steps.

Not useful and difficult to cancel. Can't effectively manage subscriptions. So their entire business model is based around customers forgetting about their app and leaving auto pay on.

Many functions not able to perform compared to the old bold v1. Hope could improve.

Great app and excellent customer support! Thank you, Nicole!

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.
