BOLD Subscriptions

I have enjoyed this app. The first version was a bit complex to set up, but now that they've updated everything, it seems to be working smoothly. There have been some hiccups, but every time I've reached out, the staff are always quick to respond and resolve issues. Thank you Chintak! You were a great help!

The app is very easy to navigate. If you ever run into any issues, their support team has always done a great job. I've worked a lot with Chintak and he's always resolved any issue quickly. Great app and great support!

We have used BOLD for YEARS and they have always been amazing and offer the best support. We have over 1,000 subscribers and they keep coming out with new features. On occasion we have a few gateway issues with payment processing, but they are always super quick to respond. Not only that our customs love how easy it is to sign up, change and edit their subscriptions. I HIGHLY recommend this app to anyone who is looking for a good subscription app for their business.

This app is a huge enabler for the e-commerce side of our business, and the updates over v1 make it significantly easier for customers to manage their own subscription changes. When we have had questions or integration items to address, the BOLD team has been responsive and thorough. Special shout out to Brysen on the customer support team--thank you for going the extra mile to thoroughly address our questions.

10 STARS for CHINTAK. They did not give up until a solution was found. Friendly, thorough and persistent. Thank you, Chintak!

We mucked around for months trying to figure out what to do and when to start our migration form Subs V1 to Subscriptions to Shopify Checkout.
Cheyson and Cody and his team jumped in and sorted everything out with simple easy steps and it took no time.
This took all the pain away and in the end was a very simple process.
Thanks to you both and your teams, we certainly appreciate your assistance.

The customer support team have made the Migration extremely easy for us. A big thank you to Krupa, Chase, Daniel P and Chaysen.

Chintak very helpful and patient with me to help me understand the complexities of my challenging setup. Thank you Chintak, you are a true blessing!

Do not use this app! I have never left a bad review for any app or product in my life, but I feel compelled to save anyone from having to deal with all that we have dealt with in this app. Not only does it continue to have problems, but they have the WORST customer service that I have ever experienced. They do not have any access to a live agents, ever. They have very limited business hours so if you have a major issue, which we have multiple times, you can not get any assistance if it is outside of their M-F central time office hours. Being an app in the eccommerce space, they should realize that these business are 24-7 and should at least attempt to have expanded hours since issues arise over the weekend too. They have shown us multiple times that they do not care that their platform glitches cause a disturbance in your business. That it could cost you customers. They simply don't seem to care. They show no concern about how long it takes them to even answer the support ticket in a timely manner, let alone actually fix the issue in a timely manner. I am always patient when it comes to tech because I realize that stuff happens and errors occur and all of that, but I am telling you. I have had more awful experiences with this app, its service, and its lack of customer service than I have ever experienced and I am so very frustrated. I have resisted changing to a new subscription app because I was worried about migrating to something new, but I should have a long time ago because this app continues to be a nightmare. Please keep looking and save yourself the trouble of dealing with this app. I am certainly moving on!

TL;DR This app charges WAY more for WAY less functionality

We have been using the BOLD Subscription app for over 9 years and I have been incredibly disappointed in the transition from v1 to this version of the app.

The new version of the app is missing several key features that were included in v1:
*No customer activity notification: in v1 we would get an email if a customer changed or canceled their subscription order, keeping our customer service team in the loop.
*No confirmation to the customer if they change or cancel their order. There are email confirmations when a subscriber starts a new subscription or there is a payment issue, so I don't know why they didn't include options for editing or canceling a subscription.
*In v1 customers could define their own subscription interval. Creating multiple variations to match the intervals that our customers are looking would create a very cumbersome list for the customer to have to sort through.
*Flat Rate Shipping only for subscription order. We have subscription customers who use our local pick-up option, guess we won't be getting orders from them anymore!
*Doesn't work with other BOLD apps. One of the main selling points for us almost a decade ago was that we could use the BOLD Subscriptions app with Custom Pricing and Upsells, but according to the BOLD Help Center the apps are no longer compatible.

To add insult to injury our cost for BOLD Subscriptions is projected to 100x (yes, that is a one-hundred times increase!) over the cost we were paying for v1. I thought shrinkflation at the grocery store was bad, but this is ridiculous. We are currently looking at upgrading to Shopify Plus to manage our custom pricing and switching to the Shopify subscription app.

I will say the front-line service team that I have interacted with has always been perfectly pleasant and are probably the best employees in the entire company.
