Zapiet ‑ Pickup + Delivery

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.

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.

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.

The app would be great if I could get a minor item fixed, as I am a store owner not a computer expert. I requested support on Monday and it is now Friday and still no response. Meanwhile my free trial is whittling away and I have lost all the sales from this week.

This app has some technical difficulties, so be prepared to restore your website and have a backup plan. The app owners were very accommodating and went above and beyond to please me. Good customer service. Marginal app.

I am sure, from the 144 reviews, that this app has some good things. PROBLEM is that if you want to uninstall app, you will pull your hair out. Their instructions for uninstall are outdated.

We were looking for an option so we could add a shipping method "For Next Day Air, Please Contact Us. Rate will be added to order at a later date."
