Brilliant app, easy to use, and the customer service is above and beyond. The sales were instant from the first day we started our first campaign. Three campaigns in and the sales have been great We have had zero negative feedback from any of our customers, so they've also found it clear and simple to use. I'm very excited to see what we can achieve going forward with this app, in terms of back in stock notifications and preorders. Wish I'd found it sooner.
This app is almost perfect... was easy to install, has great functions for setting up pre-orders and back in stock notifications and the support team is super responsive.
However, the only way for customers to place pre-orders is through our website - there is no straightforward way to take phone or in-person pre-orders and all pre-orders must be paid for using credit card (gift cards are blocked and debit cards are not a payment option through our website). The app does not work with the order creation tools in Shopify admin nor does it work with Shopify POS. As a result, we've had customers annoyed as they don't understand how we are not able to take their phone or in-person pre-orders.
To be fair, the Early Bird developers say these are Shopify system limitations. So, Shopify, if you are listening: stores that have both online and in-store sales channels need to be able to serve their customers properly. Limiting apps like this is very frustrating, since it is clear that many Shopify customers use the POS app alongside the web tools.
Impressive in its simplicity and functionality. Wish it were more affordable. We're just starting out and the profit margins on our products would require us to sell 20-30 products before we break even. But if you have a store that's already selling well, this is a great product to go with.
It will let the customer purchase into zero and negative amounts without indicating that any purchase of an item when the inventory goes from zero or below will be a backorder. Basically, if a product has an inventory of 1 it will allow the customer to purchase 4, in a single order, without indicating that 3 will be a backorder. The customer is left unaware that 3 items are not in stock, and we the merchants are stuck dealing with this. They require you to check "continue selling when out of stock" to enable the backorder function but did not take into account going zero or below in inventory on a single purchase. Not to mention Google lists your products in stock when inventory is zero or below because of the "continue selling when out of stock" requirement to use the backorder function.
Jay and Josiah have been phenomenal to work with since we started using EarlyBird! From day one, their support has been next-level. Jay reached out personally to ensure I was set up for success, offering guidance that made onboarding effortless. He helped me with a whole bunch of unrelated tasks as well. Honestly A+++++ service.
The app itself is intuitive and easy to navigate, but it’s the team’s thoughtfulness and attention to detail that truly stand out. They’ve been incredibly responsive to any questions I’ve had, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free.
This is sooo valuable when you are establishing a business and PALMA are super grateful.
