Canteen ‑ Deposits and Fees

Very slow response times, never fixed our problems with Shopify POS, app is very inconsistent, the deposit and fee rules only work correctly 75% of the time. When they don't, our customers get charged the incorrect amount, causing problems with customers trusting us. We tried for a couple of months to get it to work properly, and it still doesn't.

This app doesn't work. Sometimes it charges the core charge and sometimes it doesn't. Support has been poor and non responsive. They said they would look into it right away but then I never heard back from them, all the while I keep getting orders with no core charge added. Time to look for a different app that will do what this one is supposed to do

Responsive customer service, helped us through some early glitches where fees weren't linking correctly. Smooth sailing since then.
Linking different deposits/fees for different sized options cannot be done with product variants. You must create independent products and link deposits/fees to each item.

We had been using this app for a pretty long time. Since our store started getting more and more orders, we had a lot of faulty orders where the fee didn't get applied and we lost quite a sum of money. The support was not so helpful about this - back when we were in direct contact with Jordan from Sasquatch Studio I liked the support better.

Today (and probably the past days) our "Add To Cart" Button stopped working - one of our customers has luckily messaged us and let us know about the issue. We found out that a probably recent update in Canteen (some rules.js file) has had an error and our customers couldn't order anymore. That was the last straw for us to uninstall the plugin.

I do not recommend this plugin because it is simply not 100% reliable. I will still give it two stars because the support in the past (Jordan) was good.

For our winery that needed to automatically apply tax free bottle deposits, it's really convenient. Rules are easy to create and easy to apply, very straight forward app.

Overall, I recommend this app to streamline the process of collecting deposits. It makes it simple for staff to click a button and apply the proper deposits, all with minimal work to set up deposits when creating new products. If I could give 4.5 star, I would!

The only negatives:
1. Occasionally, the app glitches on the Close button and it confuses new staff. Not sure why the Close button doesn't work, but it hasn't for a while.
2. Wish we could apply negative deposits to refund customers when they return things! This may be a Shopify limitation, so it might not be fair to ding the app for it, but if it were possible to create a button to streamline returns, that would be ideal. Subtracting out returns as discounts isn't preferable for us, but it's how we manage these returns (which creates extra manual work on the back end for accounting purposes).

We use this to tie environmental fees to products, overall works well. Had a few issues bit support has been great. Without this our site wouldn't work.

It does the job. However I question the value. We do not sell a lot of (cans) so paying $9.99UDS/month = 13.74CDN would be equal to the deposits on 137 cans.

If you are using it to pass long the can deposit fee to the customer and segregate it from the cost, it will do this, but it will cost you more at the end if you are selling less than 137cans/ month.

I am considering just absorbing the deposit into my costs. It will create savings for the customer and cost me less in the long run.

Canteen App has solved our problem of automatically applying deposit fees. A Key feature is that it works on Shopify POS and automatically applies the deposit fee when the product is scanned into the register.

Unreliable, randomly removes selected products from their rulesets costing our company money while their support team tries to figure out what is happening. Slow on POS devices as well, overall happy to be done using this application. App has a lot of potential, but not quite there yet.
