Lacking in features vs other subscription apps and has bugs.
- Barely any reporting or analytics are available
- no support for customers to swap products
- You have to force customers to create an account before checkout (reduces checkout rate) so they can manage their subscription. No post-checkout account creation prompts.
- Subscriptions renew at a different time from when the customer signed up. Sometimes this can tick over to the next day (your customers will enquire about this)
- I've had subscriptions not being cancelled multiple times - leading to the customer being charged again.
- No upsell or cross-selling features or one-time purchase discounts with subscriptions
their shopify app is severely lacking compared to their external software which is unfortunate. The only positive that this app has is its integration with shopify checkout as opposed to redirecting.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience with PayWhirl wasn’t up to our standard when you wrote this review, and we acknowledge the frustration that some of the features and issues you pointed out may have caused.
Since 2021, we have been working diligently to enhance our Shopify app and we’re excited to share some significant updates that directly address the concerns you’ve listed:
Enhanced Reporting & Analytics: We have greatly expanded our reporting and analytics features to give you more actionable insights into your subscriptions.
Product Swap Support: Customers can now easily swap products within their subscriptions, providing a more flexible experience.
Post-Checkout Account Creation: We've introduced options to streamline the checkout process, including post-checkout account creation prompts.
Subscription Renewal Timing: We’ve refined our system to ensure subscription renewals align closely with the customer’s original sign-up time.
Cancellation Improvements: We have bolstered our cancellation process to prevent unintended renewals and charges. We've also launched support for setting up cancellation prevention workflows to encourage customers to stay subscribed.
Upselling, Cross-Selling & Discounts: We have introduced features to help merchants offer one-time purchase discounts and effectively upsell or cross-sell products.

The app somehow does what it has to do, anyhow, once you deinstall it it leaves massive code in your shop. and that didnt make us happy at all.
Hi,
Sorry about that! We don't have the ability to remove all the code automatically but we are happy to do it for you free of charge. If you reach out to our support (team@paywhirl.com) we can go over the details.
Best,
Team PayWhirl
I was excited to try this app, only to find out that it does not support payment plan integration with Shopify. Please update your description. Maybe it will offer that service again in the future. Until then, I had to go with a different app.
Hey there, I think there must have been some confusion because PayWhirl does offer the ability to create payment plans if you'd like to have customers pay for an item with several payments. We're also working on some new features to make this even easier, and they should be released soon. If you'd like I'd be happy to look at your specific use-case to see if we can help. We'd love to earn your business! Please let me know if you have any questions, we're happy to assist.
