some pros and cons to this app
Pros - good pricing compared with other such as printify - Really Good Customer service - Good Mockups that are easy to use
Cons - You can only publish to Shopify or Etsy, no ebay or amazon integration - When creating new products, if you want to sell the product on both shopify and etsy you have to create the product twice, one for each store - If you create a new product in Gelato and decide you want someone else/yourself to fullfill the item you can easily select gelato to ignore orders of the product, however if you later decide you want to reconnect the product to gelato then you need to create the whole product again
Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback and for your interest in Gelato. We are glad you find our pricing competitive and you appreciate our Customer Support and mockups.
At the same time, we would like to thank you for the constructive feedback that will help us to improve and build a better product. In response to your points:
- We have just started with the integrations we offer and we decided to begin with Shopify and Etsy. At the same time, we are considering expanding to additional e-commerce platforms in the near future. We do offer several interim solutions for the time being: https://apisupport.gelato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013721399-Can-you-integrate-with-e-commerce-stores-such-as-Shopify-Etsy-WooCommerce-Wix-etc-
- We are working on a functionality to allow you to reuse the same product on multiple stores - stay tuned for more updates
- You can connect an ignored product without the need to create it from scratch. Find the product in Gelato > Stores > Your store, click on the "Ignored" tab, click on "Edit" next to the product you want to connect and then "Stop ignoring it", then click on "Connect to Gelato" and follow the process. If you are still unsure about how this works, we can connect over Zoom and I'll be happy to guide you.
Once again, thanks for your feedback and for your review. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to support you.
Thanks!

The business model is very promising but unfortunately the technical solution (including the Shopify integration) does not live up to the high expectations. Errors occur too often causing orders to fail or be charged incorrectly.
In addition to this they have severe problems with products (particularly frames) out-of-stock. There are no automatic notification neither when an item it out-of-stock or back in stock. This of course leads to bad customer experiences. Support is generally helpful but they are fixing problems that should never have occured. Once Gelato manages to finish the development of their platform they will be a powerful partner. Until then you should expect to monitor all orders manually and to spend time writing the support team.
Hi,
This feedback on stock management is well-received. Your feedback has been shared by many customers around the planet that, although they love that they finally have local production and fulfilment to 5 billion people in 30 countries, we need to fix this.
The good news is that we have spent the last months building the functionality - being released on March 12th - that will fix what you are looking for. You will also, with that release, be able to secure automatic email notifications when certain products are out of stock.
We have spent 14 years building the world’s largest global print-on-demand service. With the exponential growth we are now experiencing some of the things we need to fix are surfacing leading to powerful and valuable feedback from some of our customers and today we received it from you.
A big thank you and now all of us are looking forward to March 12th!
Best regards

Dont evan try this app.i have tried them for a sample order as i was not sure what they are like. i placed my order 09/02/21 but i am still waiting. they have updated the production and shipped on one day but tracking number was not giving me nothing for weeks.still i am waiting my order. today is 24th of 02 21 . so there you are
Hi,
Thank you for reconsidering and updating the review.
We are in March 2021 adding 7 new partners for apparel in the EU, North America and South America. Sometimes we are forced to ship from other countries due to our partners running out of certain items.
Although cross-continent shipments are very common in the POD apparel industry, it is something that we at Gelato always want to avoid. Centralized production leads to long delivery times, expensive delivery and unnecessary pollution.
With many more apparel partners, we will now reduce the risk of cross-continental deliveries significantly. The risk of having to ship from other countries, even continents, still exists but it will now be significantly reduced.
For your specific order unfortunately this cross-continent delivery happened. The reason was that we ran out of stock in the UK and we, therefore, routed the production to one of our facilities in the US. We are sorry that this caused frustration from your side but now you know that we are working hard to secure that this risk is significantly reduced as more and more partners are joining our network.
Thank you again for being open to re-evaluating the rating. We will now work hard in order to prove to you that we deserved it.
Best,
Achille

Please can you send the A3 format (11.7x16.5) in a tube ? Because the posters arrive torn or crumpled when they are in cardboard. Thank you
Hi,
Thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear about the issue with your order.
This kind of feedback, paired with constant monitoring of data from our global network, has helped us to improve our service. We are glad to inform you that we now ship posters larger than A4 (i.e. also A3!) in a tube instead of a flat packaging.
There are some small exceptions in certain markets for which we use either a tube plus shipping roll or a triangular/rectangular box due to local requirements. You can find more details here: https://apisupport.gelato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013857939-How-are-the-orders-packaged-for-shipping-
Once again, thank you for your great feedback and please do not hesitate to reach out to us again if there is anything else we can do to support you.
Thanks!

I ordered a metal print of one of my paintings as a test.
I was shocked at the incredibly low quality.
Colors were very dull.
My greatest fear is that someone would order this product. Fortunately I’m just getting started and no one has placed an order.
I have to assume all the other product of similar quality.
Unfortunately I had to removed the app.
Hi Felix,
We're truly sorry to hear you weren't satisfied with the outcome of the metal print. We'd love to investigate and provide you with a detailed explanation of what occurred, so have reached out directly to gather photos and see where we can further support you.
We really appreciate you providing us this feedback, so we can improve our services moving forward, and deliver the world-class experience for which we strive.
Our support team is available via live chat 24/7 through our website should you need. Please feel free to let us know if there is anything else we can do and we look forward to discussing further.
Best regards,

App claims to do 3 day shipping but in reality fulfillment in Canada takes a week and often item doesn't arrive for 1.5 to 2 weeks. Editing products if you make a mistake is difficult, have to start over from scratch and cannot delete the incorrect item just have to select "ignore" which means you then have duplicates of the item visible in Gelato. Customer service only by email now (Previously would have live chat). No phone numbers if you run into an issue takes them an day to email you back. Had to pull tote bags from my store because quality was so bad. I Don't recommend this app.
Hi,
To start with, we were saddened to read about the frustration you've had getting started with on-demand fulfillment. Our team is here to clarify how certain processes work on our platform to avoid these delays in the future, and hope that in doing so, you will give us the opportunity to re-earn your trust.
We are glad to see that you did find our Live Chat support after posting this - available 24/7 here: https://apisupport.gelato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017261160-How-do-I-contact-Gelato- - and that we were able to begin to work together to get your clients their orders.
As was clarified on the chat, the long delivery time was due to a misunderstanding on connecting your products via your Shopify store, which meant Gelato never received your order. We have shared information on how to correctly connect products so that Gelato will receive them for fulfillment, are happy to walk through it on a video call so we can make sure all your products are now correctly connected.
Our team has coordinated directly with our partners to produce the orders right away and will expedite delivery to your customers at no cost to you.
We understand that we could make it clearer to ignore products and avoid these misunderstandings. Our engineering team is using your feedback to improve this part of the platform.
We also appreciate the feedback on our tote bags. As we mentioned in our messages to you, we will be launching a wide range of tote bags in the next few weeks. We would be happy to work with you to find a tote bag that meets your needs.
We've reached out to you on the phone but weren’t able to connect yet. We have shared our direct contact information to discuss your feedback and the growth of your store in more detail - please feel free to reach out anytime.
We are striving to improve our service every day, and I hope you'll give us the chance to earn your trust again.
Best,

So far so good. Still early but lots of flexible helpful options and much still to explore. Have placed first order to monitor fulfilment process. Again, so far so good.
Hello, thank you for the review. We're glad to hear you enjoy Gelato so far, and we hope you will enjoy even more after you'll get familiar with all the features and capabilities! In case you'd need help, we're available 24/7. Thanks, Bartosz
Sadly, very disappointing.
I ordered a sample order of one of my products, and the print quality was terrible. It looked as though the printer had run out of ink halfway through the printing process. I can also see that a mistake had been covered up with the new faded print on top! - Just awful.
I will definitely be uninstalling Gelato from integrating with my store, as I will be very embarrassed for any of my customers to receive such a low-quality print standard, and of course, with my brand name on it!!!
Such a shame.
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and leave this review.
I am so sorry to hear about this experience - this should have never happened.
I've checked the system, and while I was able to find your order, I'm afraid you didn't have a chance to report this issue to our Support Team.
I've now followed up with. you offline, hoping I could get some pictures of the received item, what would enable me to investigate this further.
Please know, that Gelato products are covered by 30-days guarantee, and we provide refunds for products not meeting the quality standards, what was also done by me now in that case.
I hope to hear back from you soon, and I'm sure that after we get to the root cause - we'll be able to sort this our for you.
Thank you,
Bartosz

I love the integration. It works seamlessly. The only concern is the flat rate shipping. Your Shopify store charges a flat rate but the actual shipping cost would vary by weight and there's no way to solve this other than editing shipping profiles for each product and each shipping zone which is quite tedious
Thanks for the review. It's great to hear your thoughts and feedback. We're reaching out with more information on how you can test out our "live shipping rates" which is a great solution to avoid editing the rates manually. If you have any questions our team is available 24/7. Kind regards, Kyle.
I highly discourage anyone who wants to create personalized products with gelato. Gelato+ still has far too many bugs to fix. I had to recreate a design 3 times because there were always technical problems. I'm just waiting for a response from Gelato's IT team because my theme just won't load and neither I nor support can explain it.
Hi,
Firstly, we are very sorry that you’ve experienced technical issues while creating your product. At the same time, we really appreciate your feedback as that helps us to improve the experience for you and all our customers.
The issue you experienced is now fixed.
I have reached out to you directly with detailed information including my email and phone number - would love the chance to discuss in person to ensure you are fully satisfied with the solution. Once again, we really appreciate you taking time to provide us with your feedback here.
Best regards,
Kyle
