BOLD Discounts ‑ Flash Sales

When I already have an activity price, it is not possible to apply additional discounts on top of that activity price. It also fails to explain how to select the product labels for the discount. The overall design is extremely unintelligent.

After using this app for years I finally found that this app is causing the issue with my products being disallowed from Google Merchant Center. When you run a sale with Bold it does not send the sale price to GMC, therefore resulting in your product to be disallowed. I reached out to support and they tried telling me it was a Shopify issue. Yet when I run a sale using the Shopify Discount, I have no issues. It's a great app provided you don't have a product feed.

Shopify doesn't have a modern system for marking products down and setting timed sales. It's an oversight that's quite strange, but thankfully for a reasonable price Bold offers this app that allows you to create discounts on a schedule with a number of features that make things like flash sales possible.

The installation was straightforward and the user interface is as well. I haven't needed support until today for a minor issue. This is after over a year and a half using the app. My customer service rep Naman asked if I could write a review while in the chat, so I'm doing so now as a professional courtesy. (Thanks, Naman!)

Converting sales is your job as a shop manager. For many of you, it's just one job out of an almost countless array of responsibilities. It's daunting. Shopify's lack of markdown tools makes something like this actually pretty necessary if you have an inventory of thousands of items and variants like I do. In my experience markdowns are better for customers. They see the discount, can calculate savings, and need one less step to punctuate a sale.

I recommend trying the app. It's a set it and forget it solution that your customers will appreciate as much as you. You can even tag sort sale items so that they populate a special "Sale" collection in your store automatically.

It's pretty great and well worth the $15 a month.

Is it dumb that Shopify doesn't have this feature already? Yes. But Bold made a nice app in the meantime.

Support is great too. Just now Chintak helped me clear a stuck sale. It happens sometimes with some of our larger sales. But they fix it quickly.

Quick, helpful, friendly, professional. Hey, I've had Bold Discounts rolling for about 10 years now. Use it everyday. Our store is massive. If it works this good for us, it'll be no problem for yours.

I didn't get paid or get any credit for this review. I'm just doing Bold and Chintak who helped today a solid for making my life easier for years.
