SC Product Options

Good luck trying to get help from customer support when you need it or how about when your store starts slowing down because their app is lazy loading or when you are running a sale and your store is flooded but the app doesn't keep up. After 2 years of heavy monthly subscription fees and mediocre customer support, I decided to uninstall the App and try something else and boy did I NOT regret it. A $5 dollars App solved my 2 years of worry and the app name is G:Variants & Product Options

Update: I have to say the app developer really came through and helped me solve my issues. It was confusing to start and when I didn't hear from the developer about some problems I was having, I wrote a poor review. But they responded immediately to that and walked me through the set up and even made some customized adjustments to get it functioning the way I wanted. So now I can say I definitely recommend the app. Once it's running it functions great and has a lot of options. And support is there to help if you have any problems.

UPDATE 8/7/17 - We've used this app for several months - there is a known issue that is not fixed that wastes a lot of time. Please fix the issue that when you create or edit an option set, save it, then have to go back in and re-order the options and re-save..
------April Review was 5 stars: For some themes, the install can be tricky but ** Alexa ** and **Danni** did a great job helping me through it. Alexa responded out of office hours and Danni got her part done immediately when she got the ticket. Up and running in a SNAP! because of these two. The product is working well!

We have used this app for about 6 months now to handle additional product options to personalize our products. Worked great initially, something happened at the beginning of this year, the product options are becoming unlinked from the products after they are setup. Customer support continues to blame us even when we walked through a screen share. Then radio silence. Then I the owner had to contact the company again and the support team needed us to start from the beginning with explanations. To this day we are still having issues with products we setup yesterday. HIGHLY SUGGEST NOT USING THIS APPLICATION.

STOP. Before you try and install this, look and read all the instructions. See if you can find the code they tell you to change or replace. Do this for each step. I found the examples in directions they provided not correct and the images low resolution, almost unreadable. It took many hours over a few days to figure it out. It is better to pay them to install it, unfortunately. What I can say is that once any of their apps are installed, they do work great and you will love it. If they can spend a little bit of time updating instructions, they should not be receiving any negative reviews. If you do run into trouble installing it yourself and need their help, they will, but it may take a few days.

So far so good! I've been chatting with Naman using their live chat feature during my setup process and the support has been awesome compared to some other similar apps I've been using. I'm still playing around with the app to see how it works, but it seems simple enough once you get past the installation!

The app itself is a great add-on to Shopify. My only two issues are 1. There are a lot of steps and screen hopping to setup product options. 2. It sometimes takes FOREVER to display on product. That's a pain when you are doing webwork and would like to see it. This morning it took over 15 minutes to display. I'd love to give 5 stars, just can't.

Good option app and easy to use. Good fit for a light user. The only concern for us is it's kind of hard to manage the options if you have a highly complex option structure.

the support is very bad! Contacted them several times. They are either very slow in response, only until I pushed through Shopify then I got a reply, or they say, it's not our job, you need to find a shopify expert to solve it, or we do not support this function. If I can, it should be 0.5 star for this review.

So far, it has saved loads of time trying to add customized options and once you get a little training under your belt, it's pretty darn easy to keep your product customization up to date! Thank you :)
