Hi,

Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. We have reviewed your case and found that the paid subscription began after the 30-day free trial period, as the trial was not canceled before it ended. However, we understand your concerns and have processed a full refund of the subscription charge.

Please rest assured that your subscription has now been fully canceled, and no further charges will be made. If you have any additional questions or need further assistance, feel free to contact us directly.

Kind regards,

I am starting an PoD brand and have been shopping around. I tried both printful and gelato. Today I received my Gelato test garments and let me tell you I was shocked at how bad they were. I ordered a t-shirt and hoodie with a simple thistle design, the garments came loose in a paperbag, no individual wrapping and they were creased beyond belief. The embroidery didn't match the previews and when I contacted customer support I was told how they were packaged and the quality of the embroidery was as intended. These reviews are paid for I have no doubt. If you are starting a PoD brand I would look elsewhere or pay the money to find out yourself.

Giving this App a one-star rating.

Why?

The app appeared in my Shopify Embed Apps.

When I did a test product, the left gallery on the product page had an ugly window pane scroll. I switched off the Gelato App and the ugly scroll disappeared.

I contacted support (Emilia) 2 weeks ago and she couldn't explain what was wrong but said the problem would be escalated to tech.

2 weeks later no contact from any support so I wrote another email to support. Nothing.

Today (28th June I went online to try to contact support again. Said under 2 minutes. I was still hanging on after 15.

Maybe this Shopify feedback page for Gelato is monitored more. So forced to come here and complain.

Support rating -5.

Once again this site is locking up and not efficiently letting me add new products. I've ruled out a problem with my internet.

WORST APP & TERRIBLE SUPPORT! Dissatisfied with this gelato app due to several recurring issues that have severely impacted our operations and tarnished our customer relationships. Notably, a critical system error prevented customers from adding items to their cart, which significantly affected our sales. The support team incorrectly blamed our theme when the fault was clearly on their end. Additionally, unresolved saving errors continue to hinder our business operations. We also faced a shipping and printing error, resulting in unnecessary charges due to stock unavailability. The lack of accountability and resolution from the support team is unacceptable.

Die App hat uns auf ganzer Linie enttäuscht. Sie führte dazu, dass unser Buy Button nicht mehr funktioniert hat, was unseren Shop mehrere Tage lahm gelegt hat. Leider keine Option.

Hallo,

Es tut uns wirklich leid, dass unsere App Probleme mit Ihrem Kaufen-Button verursacht hat – das ist definitiv nicht unser Ziel. Wir haben das Problem unsererseits umgehend behoben. Wenn Sie jedoch immer noch Probleme haben, hängt es möglicherweise mit dem Design Ihres Shops zusammen.

Auch wenn Sie Gelato deinstalliert haben, helfen wir Ihnen gerne bei der Lösung des Problems. Kontaktieren Sie uns gerne unter apifeedback@gelato.com und wir werden unser Bestes tun, um alles richtig zu machen.

Vielen Dank, dass Sie uns darauf aufmerksam gemacht haben. Wir entschuldigen uns für etwaige Unannehmlichkeiten.

I removed the app a year ago and just realized you were charging me for an entire year $14.99/mo. I checked the account and it showed I didn't have a subscription because I canceled it a year ago. SO SHADY.

Hi there,

We're sorry to hear you've had an unexpected experience with us.

We've reached out to clarify the account the subscription was under, and have provided you with a refund as we can see it was intentional, and not your primary account.

If there's anything further we can do please let us know.

**ACHTUNG ACHTUNG!!!**

Gelato hat gravierende Probleme beim Tracking und blockiert den AddToCart-Event in unseren Shops. Seit sieben Tagen haben wir plötzlich fast kein Tracking mehr vom AddToCart-Event. Nach vielen Kontakten mit Shopify und unseren Entwicklern wurde das Problem identifiziert: Gelato blockiert einfach unseren AddToCart-Event. Unglaublich!

Wir haben völlig falsche Daten erhalten, und unsere Werbeanzeigen sind total abgestürzt. Dies hat uns echten Schaden zugefügt, da unsere Werbeperformance stark eingebrochen ist. Zudem mussten wir viel Geld für unsere Entwickler ausgeben, die jedes Skript einzeln deaktivieren mussten, um die Ursache des Problems zu finden.

Wir werden auf keinen Fall wieder mit Gelato zusammenarbeiten, wenn sie nicht in der Lage sind, das Tracking richtig einzustellen. Das Tracking ist eine der wichtigsten Komponenten im E-Commerce, und Gelato blockiert es einfach. Unglaublich!

Gelato is running an illegal scam business. They are illegally charging 9% VAT on my orders that are being shipped to US addresses from US fulfillment center. I will be filing an official complaint of theirs. Even after repeatedly notifying support on this issue, this still hasn't been fixed. In the name of tax, they are profiting. Additionally I have been charged 4x shipping they are advertising. For instance, they show 6$ shipping on framed posters, but charging 24$ for shipping. Fake stock availability - For framed posters, they show all frames are in stock. Once I placed the order, they cancelled my order after 4 days saying it's out of stock. Enough of taking your customers for granted. These businesses have no idea how much pain they cause to their customers by providing substandard services. I have invested so much in advertising the product and it took them a second to cancel my order. Order #G-210520214654

This review has been reported to Shopify as being fraudulent. The same review was also submitted on Trustpilot and they have now removed it after their investigation. We are awaiting Shopify to take action and their response below:

“We take claims regarding fake and inappropriate reviews very seriously as they undermine the integrity of Shopify’s App Store. Any reviews that are reported to be abusive or a conflict of interest are investigated and actioned as appropriate. I've made note of your experience and our teams will be looking further into what happened. If the review is legitimate it will remain on the app store, and if the review is fraudulent we'll be sure to action as appropriate.”
