UPDATE January 8, 2024: DOES NOT WORK WITH ANY MOBILE APP SERVICE -- DON'T USE ZAPIET IF YOU WANT YOUR SHOPIFY STORE TO BE A MOBILE APP.
We spend over five weeks getting the runaround from MageNative and Shop2App because Zapiet told us both worked with Zapiet...but never got a correctly functioning app and had to follow up multiple times with Zapiet before they admitted Zapiet actually DOES NOT WORK WITH ANY MOBILE APP PROVIDER AT ALL, including the ones they had been advertising compatability with (MageNative and Shop2App). Zapiet Support staff repeatedly gave us conflicting answers, deletied their previous replies, and we left with very little evidence that anyone at Zapiet actually knew what was going on, or even took to heart all the time and money we wasted having taken Zapiet's advice. Eventually, Zapiet did finally remove MageNative and Shop2App from their list of compatible apps only after we asked them again and again and again--hoping other potential customers don't waist the money and time we did bringing on Zapiet, let alone taking their advice.
(Side note about the mobile app provide Zapiet said their app worked with when it never actually did: Our experience working with MageNative was horrible--they led us on w/misleading replies, consistently missed deadlines, wouldn't reply until we'd reached out repeatedly, and morel At times we had trouble understanding their replies at all (not sentences, using terms incorrectly). Besides checkout never ever working correctly w/ Zapiet settings on our app developed by MageNative, there were lots of other issues on our app by MageNative (like not being able to select quantity of item before adding to cart and more). Zapiet and MageNative each blamed one another for why our mobile app never worked correctly and neither actually did anything we witnessed that helped identify or solve issues. After we repeatedly outlined all these issues to both Zapiet and MageNative, finally a MageNative rep who seemed to have some level of authority offered to try building our app w/Zapiet settings again, but given our experience over 5+ weeks trying to work with MageNative and Zapiet, we definitely did not want to tie our business to these horrible services. All this to say, even without Zapiet, we would not recommend working with MageNative. )
Original Review Jan 23, 2023: Does not work with Shopify Basic Plan (even if billed annually). Their website was misleading about this, which we shared with their Support Staff and they've updated the text now, but they also still have on their site as of right now: "If you are on Shopify Starter or Basic plan, you can still use our app without the Rates feature." This doesn't make any sense because, just as one example, in order for only the pickup rate to show when a customer selects pickup during checkout, you cannot be on a Shopify Starter or Basic plan. It's like saying, you can download our app on any shopify store...but then leaving us to discover on our own that it will only work correctly if they have a Shopify plan other than Starter or Basic. As of right now, upgrading beyond the Basic Shopify plan would cost us $540...and we haven't even paid for the Zapiet app yet! What's more, we see lots of other customers on the support pages complaining about code left on their sites after uninstalling Zapiet...and this leftover code impacting the performance of other apps, too. Sounds like we have even more frustrating surprises from Zapiet in our future even though we've ended the trial and uninstalled the app. Definitely looking elsewhere for another app that provides these services before investing $540 + the app's monthly fee to even see whether or not it's a good fit for our site. Overall feel misled by the bait-and-switch of Zapiet.
UPDATE: 9th August 2023
Hello,
We wanted to let you know some great news - in response to your feedback, we have developed an alternative solution for rates, which doesn't require adding the Shopify Carrier Service API to your plan!
It also doesn't require adding an unnecessary product to the cart, or use the Draft Orders API, which means we can maximise compatibility with other apps with this new rates feature.
We'd love you to give you another free trial of Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery to let us know your thoughts on our new rates feature. If you'd like us to enable this for you, please reach out on support@zapiet.com or via the live chat on zapiet.com so one of our agents can walk you through the setup!
Best wishes,
Bogi

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback on the app store. Until very recently there was the option to add Shopify's Carrier Service API to the basic plans, unfortunately Shopify changed their policy regarding this on January 1st, you can see details on this here:
https://shopify.dev/changelog/update-carrier-service-api-access-for-stores-on-starter-and-basic-plans
Many apps in the ecosystem are currently adjusting to these changes. Updating documentation across all platforms is a huge challenge and something that we are working super hard to finish ASAP so that all merchants can expect the right experience with our apps.
The Carrier Service aside, our app will work perfectly with the Shopify Basic plan if you are offering delivery only or pickup only stores, with all advertised features functioning as expected.
I do understand on this occasion things might not have worked perfectly and but we hope that you grant us the opportunity again in the future to try our class leading features!
Regards,
Sam Forde

Unfortunally this app is very unstable. Three times in 3 weeks their app has been down, which made it impossible for customer to buy anything on our webpage... There is also no 24h Support, so when the app is down, you can just wait and hope. Sorry, you lost me as customer
Hi Lani,
It's Andy here the Founder of Zapiet. I just wanted to express my sincerest apologies for the issues you have faced recently whilst using the app. Our infrastructure has certainly been hit hard recently with the surge in demand of deliveries and pickups.
After some thorough investigation we have discovered that each of the three downtime periods you mentioned were caused by a single stores sheer volume of traffic. The merchant is a national supermarket chain with ties to Masterchef. When Masterchef airs each week, people start ordering on mass. That's why the downtime has been consistantly the same day and time of the week. We have now migrated this particular merchant to their own server so not to effect other users of the app.
Behind the scenes we have also rapidly been rewriting all key parts of the app to improve stability as well as performance. Tomorrow I will be sending an email to all existing merchants detailing the exact steps we have taken to mitigate these issues going forward.
With regards to customer support please feel free to contact me directly on andy@zapiet.com should you feel you aren't getting a response from my team in a timely manor, or for any other issues or questions you have.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon :)

Very bad customer services still waiting for a respond and nothing. I dont know why they don't answer in the chat
I lost HUNDREDS of dollars in sales. Slow response time. Used this for months and constantly had issues. This week, many of my customers just couldn't check out because the app was randomly deciding when certain products could be shipped or not. Now I have remnants of the app left behind and have errors on my site after deleting the app... So disappointed.
Hi The Good Fill,
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback! After checking with my support team we responded to your issue within just 4 hours of you reaching out to us. When my team has asked for additional information to help diagnose the issue it appears there was a delay of 2 days in you looping back to us? We have just replied to your open support ticket and hope to hear from you soon.
Also just to let you know we also have live chat and telephone support available via our website should you ever need an immediate response :)

A difficult company to work with and not very accommodating when it comes to issues with the app not being used.
Hi Mike,
Thank you for taking your time to leave a review on the app store. Our refund policy regarding app charges aligns with that of Shopify, that being that app charges are non refundable. However, we understand that each situation is different and we are always willing to go the extra mile to support our merchants. Unfortunately in this case you had the app installed many months past your use date that seen us unable to issue a refund or a credit. I understand that you are a seasonal store and I have reached out to you personally to understand if there is anything more we can do to support you.
Kind Regards,
Sam
Upon install seemed like it would work great and do what I needed. I am transitioning my business online and can only deliver within a certain radius. I installed and set everything up and when I put a zipcode in the homepage validator it pops up fine per my requirements however, once I get to checkout if I change the address I can still make the purchase even though it is outside the delivery range. Reached out to support and they requested access to my account and I have yet to hear back from them after asking for an update three times. Seemed promising but support is not helpful at all, seems they try to make contact to make it seem like they are resolving your issue only to leave you high and dry.

Hi The Yard Co,
Thanks so much for your feedback! I'm truly sorry for the poor experience you had back in May.
As i'm sure you can imagine demand for our app skyrocketed exponentially this year. We certainly struggled to keep up both technically and on the support front as we just wasn't prepared.
We have since grown our team and have implemented a huge number of process and technical improvements. As you will see from our recent reviews we have successfully scaled and are back on top form.
I have documented the improvements we made at length in this blog article: https://www.zapiet.com/post/surviving-the-pickup-ocalypse.
I'd be more than happy to personally hop on the phone with you anytime to help get you setup and clear up any questions you may have about the app or our business.
I hope to hear from you soon :)
All the best!

The support response times for this application with our team have been horrible.
The service team seems to all run in EU time and have zero bandwidth to provide support in NA hours. We've tried calling or chatting even in EU hours and they do not answer, pick up the phone or reply in a timely manner. We had one call back last week and now they've disappeared...
For now,... a lot to be desired. HIGHLY UNRESPONSIVE.
Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback.
I am really sorry to hear that you had trouble getting in contact with our support team.
We do have team members in the NA time zone and while we are normally highly responsive on our live chat and phone support, these support channels have become increasingly busy in the run up to Christmas which unfortunately meant there was some delay in responding to queries.
I reviewed your ticket and it appears that my colleague Robert called you and is helping you to resolve any outstanding issues.
We hope to provide you with a better support experience going forward.
Kind regards,
Ronan
I understand that due to the current climate, support staff is overwhelmed. We have had nothing but issues since we installed the app and very little service to help fix the issues. We recently designed a new theme for our store and the integration with Zapiet was unsuccessful. These apps must offer phone support to resolve issues! An email exchange is far from helpful.

I'm so disappointed.
Their service level is so poor.
it takes them 3-4 days to answer questions, they are very unavailable.
Too bad .. because they have good features.
Hi Sela,
Thank you for your feedback.
I have now resolved your outstanding issues and responded to you via your ticket.
I would like to apologize for the delay in getting this resolved, I reviewed your ticket and I can see that you responded almost 2 days ago.
Our support team has been busier than normal in the run up to Christmas and our response times have increased above our usual "less than 24 hours" and for that I am truly sorry.
I look forward to providing you with a better experience going forward.
Kind regards,
Ronan
Good initial idea but very bad implementation. There are always new bugs. Since today, the delivery date/time requested by the customer is no longer added to the order. I have to develop patches to fix the errors in the Zapiet application!
ZAPIET IS UNRELIABLE!
