Zapiet ‑ Retirada + Entrega

Main reason for taking stars off is that some basic features are restricted to their most premium 'professional' plan that costs more than double. I am paying for a monthly service and expect access to the basic features, instead it feels petty when trying to change a setting or use a feature and to get prompted that I need to upgrade to their Pro plan. Examples:
- You cannot download the "production report" for orders (a list of item quantities from multiple orders).
- You cannot manage product availability by tags/collections, only by selecting them individually or making them all available.

If they don't change this mindset and allow us small businesses to use simple features that would make our lives easier then I'll continue looking for alternatives. I understand having the Pro plan for the shops that do have 20+ locations and the challenges that come with large organizations, inventory controls, other enterprise logistics... but don't arbitrarily hold back simple features from the little guys. Adding features and tools to make the service better should be a point of pride and brand. I expected some improvements over time, but in the year+ we've used it I haven't seen anything improve.

Support staff are indeed mostly great. I do wish there weren't so many glitches and nuances with implementations between Zapiet and Shopify, themes, or delivery services that require resolving.

I am very tech savvy so it's frustrating when I think I'm doing the right thing but it isn't working due to a glitch that has to be dealt with on their end. This happened on numerous occasions of configuration settings not working until I contact them -- and the solution seems like some other setting needing to be turned off and on again to get the settings to take.

The function and utility of this app are near worthless for my team. We needed it simply to have the option for local pickup to be ready at a later date, as our items are largely custom made. Email notifications we're failing. SMS Notifications never worked and we have been in communication with the team at Zapiet since June regarding this massive problem in notifications to clients. Essentially just kept getting "can kicked" and pushed down the line. No resolution to date, looking at other solutions again now.

I give 3 stars, because the overall flow of the app and layout as well as ease of setup are all there.

I really needed this app to work. I thought it was working for months, but recently learned it wasn't. I spent hours trying to get it to format correctly but nothing would work. Reached out to support. It took a long time for them to respond and in the end they suggested that I turn off the Shopify Delivery & Pickup options, but that still didn't work.

I was apply this app on my staging site. As test for few days, the inventory fulfillment function is uncertain at this moment. Thus, linking from Zapiet location with Shopify location still having error where the result keep revert after save and refresh.

Fr:
Cette app est très bien, il y a plusieurs option et très facile à configuré.
Parcontre, depuis plusieurs mise à jour de leur part. Certaine chose que je pouvais faire avant n'est plus possible et le support ma informé qu'il fallait ajouté un autre de leur app pour que tout cela fonctionne.
Ce qui est a mon humble avis inacceptable. Eng:
This app is great, there are several options and very easy to configure.
Parcontre, since several updates from them. Some chose what I could do before is no longer possible and support informed me that I had to add another of their application for it to work.
Which is in my humble opinion unacceptable.

This app was a life-saver when the pandemic first hit. It is fairly easy to set up and it works with Bespoke Shipping. What has started to become frustrating is the dashboard and support. Over time, more and more old orders have started to hog the front page of the dashboard where it used to have the newest orders first. I messaged support and they said there is nothing they can do about it. Another issue is that every user essentially has admin credentials. Given that this is meant to serve businesses with multiple locations, that should be a higher priority to ensure staff doesn't mess with settings.

I want to preface this review by mentioning that I'm a product designer and front end developer by trade so I'm rating this app knowing full well how products should work before launch. With that said...

This intentions and goals of this app are fantastic except it's EXTREMELY buggy and many of the features that they advertise don't work. We currently pay for the highest plan they offer. Very specific feature sets that come with the plan don't work and the app is aware of it with no fix anticipated except for several weeks from now. For example, order thresholds. This is crucial for our business as we are delivering groceries during the COVID-19 crisis and the fact that we have to keep track of our order amounts throughout the day for open slots and on a manual basis is time consuming.

Their customer support is also extremely poor and severely lacking. I've sent in dozens of requests across multiple issues and asks... I've only gotten 1 back that directed me to an article that provided one solution (this was involving data to place in our order notifications that tell the customer their delivery/pick up dates). All the others I've sent either got zero follow up or if I do get someone who responds and asks me a question, I'll respond immediately and the never hear from them again. Now I understand that they may be handling an influx of requests and also understand that some asks may not have viable solutions. But at least communicating that to customers who are paying you $50 a month would be appropriate versus just not responding at all.

Unfortunately, the amount of features that DO work are still enough for us to keep this app as there are no others available out there that can provide us with what we need. At the same time, we haven't had the greatest experience and their prod dev QA is extremely poor.

If you guys can actually fix and address the above, I'd honestly give this app 5 stars. Hopefully we see those changes implemented sooner rather than later. :)

EDIT: Still experiencing non stop issues with this app. Just look at all the recent reviews... Support fails to respond yet we're paying for their premium plan which is supposed to get you priority support. Lastly, the developer responded to our review regarding the delivery slot limit and the ability to check the capacity being rolled out ahead of schedule. The delivery slot limit still does NOT work and the ability to check capacity has extremely poor UX. Why do you have to click a calendar for a specific day of the week versus just opening up the calendar and clicking ANY day to check the limit? Again, we don't really have an alternative app at this time otherwise we would have switched. Non stop headache!

4/1/21 Edit:
App is not working as well as it used to. I am now having issues with my calculated shipping that I never had before integrating my shipping with their app. Having other issues as well. Support team is pretty quick to respond and has good information, but this app does not work very well to suit my needs, especially for the price. Original:So far, so good. We have only just started using the app, so I can't speak too much about long-term functionality, but it does exactly what the app says it does. Zapiet customer service is AMAZING. I have reached out to them numerous times with questions about setup and whether or not this was the right app for us, they always answered my questions. Today, Ronan helped me when I had a problem installing the app on my theme. Ronan was wonderful and had my problem solved in no time. Thanks again!

Getting the configuration to work properly is tricky. However, a great support team is there to back you up. It would be nice if the documentation were more clear for DIY. For what the app does, it seems like the price is a bit high, but it certainly solves a big problem out of the box.

Don't try to set it up yourself, add their support staff as a collaborator and get their help, it will save you tons of tears and time.

Hello, I've deleted this app but it's still active in the shopping cart, how long does it take to be removed ? Or what can I do ? VERY URGENT
