PreOrder Now WOD | PreOrders

After 5 years as a loyal subscriber on one of our stores this app has completely changed their pricing model to be biased against Shopify Plus stores. We have been a subscriber for $29 a month, but when we wanted to add this app to all of our other stores we discovered pricing has now changed to $99/mo. When we reached out to them they offered the additional stores for $59/mo and refused to match the existing price citing a pathetic excuse of overhead costs. It's a software app.... where we are self service. It does not cost anything extra to have an extra subscriber to a software.

$99/mo is an overcharge of an app for our secondary lower performing sites and it's infuriating when apps think that just because a site is Shopify Plus store that they should base their pricing on this. Pricing should be based on usage not based on which Shopify plan we have.

We have since switched to one of the other pre-order apps in protest to this new pricing model. It's unfortunate they chose $0 revenues instead of supporting an existing loyal customer of 5 years that was simply looking to spend more.

still need to try it

Der letzte Schrott und der Support ist keine Hilfe

I reached out to support twice and never heard from them. App crashed and will not allow users to add the product to cart. I would not recommend you work with this app.

The loading times of the changed Add to cart button are very long. Many of my customers don't even notice the pre-order because it only loads when the customers are in the shopping cart.

In addition, the order tags are not assigned correctly. Even if all settings are set up correctly. Today, for example, the app is not available at all.

If you're seeking a reliable solution for partial payments, avoid this app. Despite our prior success with pre-orders involving partial payments, our experience with PreOrder Now was far from seamless. While customers would typically order and be charged an initial amount without issue, the process of collecting the remaining balance through the app proved to be anything but straightforward.

Even with the app's team setting it up for us, we somehow still managed to encounter difficulties, leading to the inconvenience of having to manually send invoices to all our pre-order customers to collect the outstanding amounts. Adding to the frustration was the lack of instructional resources such as videos, blogs, or articles to assist us in navigating the payment collection or partial payment setup process.

When seeking assistance, the only option available was to contact their support team via chat. Despite our familiarity with similar apps and their direct involvement in the setup process, we still found ourselves facing setup issues.

PLEASE NOT INSTALL THIS - UNSATISFACTORY APPLICATION
We have been unable to sell for several days, until we identified the error. This application has changed its conditions and without warning they are forcing us to take the payment plan. As we have not updated the payment plan, because no one has communicated it to us, they have disabled the purchases of the products in stock. Losing many orders. REGRETTABLE APPLICATION AND REGRETTABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO DO NOT ANSWER.

This app is not designed for stores with rich functionality. The pre-order button replaces the add to cart button only after the page fully loads - very delayed, poor customer experience and risk of orders being created incorrectly. Their team will waste your time promising that they are working on a solution and then another manager will message you days later to say there has been a misunderstanding between their team. My sincere advice is not to go down this route if you plan to scale. If you have a very small, simple business maybe this can work. Extremely poor!

First of all, I think it would be great if the instructions would tell us that in order to use this app that we need to be on SHOPIFY THEME 2.0

Secondly, I have been unable to install

Thirdly there is an irritating pop up that SAYS congrat YOU HAVE A PREORDER, while I have been unable to completely install, so that's very confusing!

Fourthly "Customers service" or chat just gives articles which are not completely helpful

Unpleasant experience with "Website On Demand." They claim to be available whenever needed, but their presence is inconsistent. The lack of 24/7 support is a notable drawback. They emphasize their shorter working hours on weekends, expecting understanding even for customers across the globe. The application is challenging to set up and can be confusing at times. I experienced significant stress trying to identify orders for specific pre-order dates. The inability to use partial payment due to my theme not being the 2.0 version added to the frustration. There was no initiative to check my theme by the support team. Overall, their approach is not proactive. I've decided to discontinue using their services.
