Be very careful. When you have finished needing this service, this app tricks you into thinking you have uninstalled it, and therefore won't be charged, but doesn't make it clear that until you have actually DELETED the app, you will still be charged.

Please note that all Shopify apps will stop charging once you had uninstall the app from the Apps Settings page. We use the Shopify Charge API which strictly follows the 30-day charge. You can learn more about it here:

It is not possible to trick anyone into believing the app is uninstalled because Shopify is very strict in their audit. Besides, we had made it very clear and transparent in our FAQs on how to uninstall our app.

The message underneath the pre-order button keeps disappearing inexplicably. The limit we set on quantity available for pre-order didn't work and we oversold an extremely key product and let our customers down. Don't waste your time.

Hi. Thank you for your feedback. As mention in our email correspondence, the issue had been resolved as the issue was caused by the StockSync app.

Glitched app, does not work sufficiently. I have items set for 'disabled backorder' yet they are available to purchase which in return is causing us so much inconvenience as we are having to personally contact each individual. Will be removing this app as soon as we upgrade our website.

Thank you for your review. Here are some of the findings during our troubleshooting. You can refer to our email to you which provides more details such as screenshots.

- The continue selling when out of stock options are turned on.

- From our logs the last time someone turned off the pre-order for the product was in August.

- There was another pre-order app already installed on 16th May, 2 months before our app was installed.

As mentioned in the email, we would require your assistance to ask Shopify for any audit trial and we can further proceed with our investigation to identify the root cause. Thank you.

The app was great, but with some bugs. The support team connected via a Collaborator account and broke the collection pages by inserting a script that was running on an infinite loop, probably a bad attempt to show the Pre-order button on the collection pages.

Ok, but pretty buggy and doesn't take into account the pay now buttons in some templates. Also, it is pretty deceptive in how it sneakily charges you automatically if you turn on more than one product, so you end up getting charged without really agreeing to it. It is also really hard to find out where to unsubscribe so that they stop charging you.

At first it was working great, but then it started selling out of stock products to customers without notifying them that they were pre-orders. I had quite a few orders go through right before the holidays and the customers were not happy when they found out that they wouldn't be ready in time for Christmas, because they thought the items they purchased were in stock. I checked everything to make sure the preorder manager and my inventory were properly installed. I really wish it worked reliably, because it's easy to use and customize, but it just isn't reliable and it caused damage to my brand.
