Dear Merchant,

Thank you for your feedback. We would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused by the issue of your products being stuck in the Pending status for a long time. We understand your frustration and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.

We would like to explain to you the actual root cause of this issue so that you can trust us again and continue using our app. Our app uses the Content API method, which creates a job for submitting a large number of products in bulk to Google. However, while doing this for your store, Google detected a foreign character "�" in one of your products, which caused it to reject the entire product batch. This is why so many of your products were stuck under the Pending status.

We have already fixed this issue for your store and implemented changes to prevent it from happening again. Our team has already communicated this to you via email.

However, we noticed that you have left feedback about our app on the Shopify App Store, where you have requested "Please return all my money to me!".

We would like to request you to reconsider your decision and give us a second chance. We value your business and we want to meet your expectations. We can assure you that our app is reliable and efficient and that we are always ready to help you with any issues or questions you may have.

We also want to clarify that sometimes we may need 24-48 hours to fulfill your requirements, because we may need to make some custom changes to our app just for your store. This is not something that can be done instantly, and we hope that you can understand this. We always try our best to deliver our service as fast as possible, but we also want to ensure the quality and accuracy of our work.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at support@simprosys.com. We are always happy to help.

Thanks,

Hi,

1 - It is very unfortunate to say that we were charging more than agreed. Whenever any merchant approves the charge for any app, the Monthly Recurring charge is clearly communicated in the app and in the Shopify Page as well. It is not just for our app, it same for all the apps charing merchants through Shopify's Billing API. In our case, we don't have a usage-based charge on any of our applications. So, charging any merchant for more than what is agreed is not possible. Merchants can see the "Exact Amount" before they approve the charge.

2 - We did not block your access just because you had left a negative review of the app. Actually, we did not block it at all. Your store had more(3.5M+) products than the agreed limit on the approved charge. Also, anyhow, our system would have blocked "manual resyncing of all the products" as products on your store were more than 2M(see screenshot https://bit.ly/3f91wvj). Please keep in mind that, we block the "manual resyncing only", not the continuous syncing of already synced products.

We block resyncing for any store that 2M products and request them to get in touch with us. In fact, in your case, I had made it very clear to you that our system does not remain efficient for the stores having more than 500K(very safe limit) products. (See screenshot https://bit.ly/3f91wvj of you being informed on 24th Oct 2019).

3. Regarding Pathetic and childish behavior, I just tried to be clear to you that we can not support the merchant with these many products, but you wanted to have your way anyhow. In fact, I had tried to make it clear to you long ago and you had confirmed that you will try other solutions provided you cross the product limit.

Also, in the past you had around 4k products more than agreed limit with pricing, we did not force you to pay for those extra 4K products. (See attached screenshot - https://bit.ly/38nOtU1)

So, with the above-given clarifications, I would like to add that, we are not money-hungry people. What we tried to do was to make sure that our serviceability to other merchants doesn't get affected by the crashing of servers because such a large volume of products go in the manual re-syncing.

Other than that, the resyncing of 2M+ products' store would have taken at least 5 days because of Shopify's API call limits and Leakage possibilities. That would have proved to another major issue.

Regards,
Amit
