Terrible experience that negatively impacted our cash flow.
First I'll address their response:
1. I signed up for a paid plan, which they say is supposed to come with better support so if it's even worse than this, my lord they need a lot of work.
2. They said their app won't work with Shopify but clearly their reps don't know this because no one told me that or we wouldn't be here, just more terrible service.
Original review:
I had to get a support rep to help set up the Shopify store since the directions on the site for set up are outdated (as per the rep), but I assumed it was set up correctly.
Unfortunately with each payment (of a four payment plan), it places a new order and charges us for the on-demand product cost. Now I have to cancel all orders, refund everyone and figure out how I'm going to get these customers back.
And of course, support takes way too long to respond, already a few hours in with no resolution to the second issue in two weeks. They told me to refund on Shopify, I do so and it says "request declined." What they didn't tell me was (I'm assuming) that I needed to cancel the subscription first so I did it in reverse and hope it works. Not sure until I see us the biz refunded for multiple orders.
If the website direction is wrong and two reps don't know what they're doing (and support takes way too long), how can you trust this app?
Hi,
We're truly sorry for the difficulties you've faced with our app, and we value your feedback.
We want to clarify that our Shopify app doesn't officially support layaway-style payment plans, which we're making clearer in our documentation. We also acknowledge the misunderstandings with payment refunds and order processes. We're working on improving communication to avoid this in the future.
We're improving our support response times, and on our paid plans, we offer priority support for more prompt assistance.
Could we arrange a call with our support team to discuss your concerns and find a suitable solution? You can schedule it by contacting us at https://calendly.com/paywhirl-team. We're eager to understand your situation better and regain your trust.
Thanks for your understanding, and we hope to make things right.
Warmest regards,
Team PayWhirl
I am a complete novice working with a subscription app and we have had a few things that we have needed tweaking since we started four months ago. But, I have to say, their customer service is top notch. I always get a response pretty quickly. Overall, we've been really happy with the app. My only request at this point is for the app or Shopify to restrict bundling items with subscription items.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that our customer service has met your expectations, especially as you navigate the world of subscription apps for the first time. Our team is dedicated to providing swift and helpful responses, and it’s great to hear that this has been your experience.

Paywhirl is great. They're team has given us all the support we needed to launch our marketplace on Shopify.
Great Team to work with even with a difficult migration. I've worked with other subscription services like Bold and Recharge and this system seems to be the most straight forward and easy to work with. Its the best subscription integration to shopify I've seen.

Great app & customer support!
I had a problem with my variants not showing up on my product page. I had been struggling for two weeks trying to get help to fix the problem. With only 2 days left before launch day Sergey found the issue and fixed it! I really appreciate those at PayWhirl and the setup was easy. The app is really easy to maneuver as well!
Thank you for your kind review! We're so sorry to hear that you were experiencing issues, but we're thrilled that Sergey was able to resolve the problem just in time for your launch day. We strive to provide timely and effective support for our merchants, and it’s wonderful to know our team could assist you.

I just signed up today but customer service was fast and on point. I'm excited to use this app since I know they care about their customers.
This app can cost your company time and money. Are experienced web development team installed the app as instructed by the videos. And nothing works! So we deleted the app and contacted customer service and never heard back. We have documented everything.
Firstly, I'd like to sincerely apologize for the inconveniences and challenges you faced while trying to integrate PayWhirl with your Shopify store. We deeply regret that your experience did not match your expectations and, more importantly, that you felt unsupported during the process.
It's concerning to hear that our customer service did not get back to you. We pride ourselves on our customer support, and it's disheartening to know that we missed the mark in this instance. I assure you this is not the norm, and we'll be looking into the matter internally to ensure that such lapses are prevented in the future.
We acknowledge the importance of every single minute in the business world and understand how disruptions can affect operations and trust. If you're open to giving us another chance, I'd like to personally assist you in setting up the app or addressing any specific concerns you might have. Your feedback can also help us rectify the issues and enhance our product to benefit our entire user community.
Please feel free to reach out directly to larry@paywhirl.com, and I will make it my priority to ensure a smooth experience for you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Feedback, whether positive or negative, helps us grow and serve our customers better.
Warm regards,
Larry
PayWhirl is much better than the other app that we were using. The team was very prompt and helpful getting us up and running. Big shoutout to Ryan for being awesome!
The app was fairly easy to install. While, I'm still in the process of gathering subscriptions from clients, and can't yet say how the app is working in realtime, I do give the customer service 5 stars. Ryan was very helpful and answered by questions in a timely manner and I look forward to trying this app out.
