Canteen ‑ Deposits and Fees

We love having the Canteen App on our site. Takes away all of the guess work, and has provided a stress-free experience for our customers with no glitches or errors. We are big fans!

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).

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.

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.

Die App funktioniert ständig nicht. Kann ich nicht empfehlen
