App worked great, but I find it's too expensive for us. We're an online shop that is just starting out. The company would get far more people installing their app if they figured out a scalable model that grows as your sales grow or a longer trial period.

The support team never answers, the locale files are not complete and the translations are not accurate, the store info isn't complete, and the rates API just doubles the settings, the help center is from an outdated version of the app

Great Customer Service. The best I've experienced in Shopify so far! The app has just been set up, and so far it seems to be working perfectly.

Thank you Andy!

If I could give this app Zero I would.
The app broker our store - check out button started to fail.

We reached out to the Zapiet support which took a few days to respond to ask for collaborator access. They received the access within 10 minutes and after that we never heard from them again, we followed up with them for 5 days until we decided to delete the app and request a refund.

I do not recommend this app or Zapiet service.

Hi Sælkerabúðin,

Thanks so much for your feedback! I'm truly sorry for the poor experience you had back in May. Our average response time is now a matter of hours at most. We also now have live chat and telephone support available.

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!

Horrible customer service, I tried using this app for my online store to offer local deliveries and pickups and it has been a nightmare getting to get this team to respond to emails. Very confused customers with a feature that works half-way. Maybe they'll follow up with me after this review..

Hi TasteBuds,

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. We have done a huge amount of work since we last spoke to improve both our infrastructure and support team.

Only a couple of weeks ago we were a super small team of six people, with an average response time of 2-3 hours. Since then everything has changed due to merchants switching to pickup and delivery first in response to COVID. We are now a team of 20 and are still actively recuriting. With the aim of getting our response times back down to the best in the business.

I'd love a second chance to prove to you how awesome our app is! I'm going to drop you an email now from my personal email address and we can take it from there :)

I'm looking forward to getting things back on track!

Kindest,

Andy Cargill

We have sent 2 emails and a support ticket but have received no response on an issue with inventory syncing. Very frustrating.

Hi Moon Juice Shops,

Thanks so much for your feedback! I'm truly sorry for the poor experience you had back in April.

As i'm sure you can imagine demand for our app skyrocketed exponentially this year. We certainly struggled to keep up on the support front as we just did not have enough man hours available to keep up.

We have since grown our support 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.

As others said, support/any communication with this app is non-existant. 14/05/2020 -Edit: Support has been much more responsive and helpful once contact with the company was established- That would not be an issue if the knowledge-base covered all its issues and people could just do it themselves. The app has been successfully installed and is "working" indeed. That is the postcode widget works, the checkout works and the delivery zones and rates work. The annoying zapietld can be removed(for the customer but not the admin in the orders page) and the app can be integrated onto any theme following their instructions easily. Awesome on the front end! But, and that is a huge BUT what about the backend?

EDIT: Retracted Point 1, this was an error due to the accelerated checkout. All the orders appear when the accelerated checkout is disengaged. This could indeed be found in their knowledge-base but was not part of the setup process.

1) Orders DO NOT appear in the App Dashboard, they do only if and when they feel like it! Managing orders by date & time to be delivered(rather than created) becomes impossible because from 10 live orders you might get 5 or 6 of them to appear and the rest are somewhere in outer space, never to be seen again. This makes the app kind of useless for its intended purpose. As staff cannot use this app to manage the orders from the app backend. You might think that one of the other Print or Order management apps could perhaps take over and simply use Zapiet as an in-between but after trying them all I must report that none of them have the functionality to sort orders by the delivery date and time that Zapiet has fed into them. They are there as notes though. This really puts us in front of a wall as fast-paced environments require fast-paced and reliable software to be able to keep up.

2) Date Format, Zapiet passes all orders in this format YYYY-MM-DD, which is not very convenient in the UK, this may not be a problem for low volume store with few orders but for bulk orders it opens itself up for a lot of mistakes to be made. Funny that in 2020 software still struggles to give the user the option to see the date format in his/her own preference.

The app itself is actually very good. However, the company are clearly struggling to keep on top of the volume of new customers that they are getting, and rather than stopping selling to new customers, they are continuing to take them on.

This means the app is regularly going offline for all customers and is costing stores a lot of money as the checkout completely breaks.

Hi Robert,

It's Andy here the Founder of Zapiet. You are 100% correct in that we have been struggling to keep on top of the sheer demand for our app. We did indeed take the decision to halt new installs until things were back under control.

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 consistently 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.

Once again i'm sincerely sorry for the issues you have faced recently and really hope that we can rapidly regain your trust.

Kindest regards,

Andy Cargill

I used this app to help me to do the delivery and the store pickup in my website. They helped us when we had problem on their application and it was very nice.
