Great customer service from Jennifer! She went through the issues i was having and set me off in the right direction! Very helpful!
23/10/2019 - An update from my review, i must say that i faced another complex issue with my bold product options app which was purely due to the way i have to set them out for my products and Bold is the only app that allows me to set my products options out the way i need them and with the great help from Dylan (who was amazing by the way) helped me yet again reach my goals for my accessories! Thank you so much Dylan!
Thanks very much for the review! We're glad to hear that Jennifer was able to help you out with the issues you ran into using Product Options - so sorry that you had some troubles with it in the first place!
Please let us know if we can help any further in the future. :-) Good luck with the launch of your store!
First of all, many people believe Bold have the monopoly on this type of App. Not true. I checked them ALL, and there is *one* other that is comparable. We went with Bold because we had less problems getting it to work to begin with. It is difficult, cumbersome and fiddly to get everything set up and working correctly if you choose the Auto option, but if you know your way around Liquid you'll get there.
Support genuinely seem to want to help, they're just not very good at it. I get the impression there are support personnel Tiers and when you get moved up a tier you have to re-explain the whole situation to them, despite a recorded history of text and submitted video files. One bug on their end that caused their backend to hang forever in certain circumstances took about a month to fix.
Swatches are nice, but very bare boned functionality. The boxes even at 'Large' setting are very small (about 50x50px) and there is no hover-over functionality allowing a better look at the image. When I suggested this basic user experience feature (which if I had access to the Liquid code I could have fixed in a single line) they said they'd pass it on, but ultimately it was a custom feature request we'd have to pay for. I eventually got a solution running in three lines of CSS.
While parts of the code are stored in your theme files, you can't improve them because they are overwritten by Bold sometimes multiple times a day, so you are at their mercy for basic functionality adjustments. You are given an outlet for custom CSS and that is all.
The most constantly noticeable issue is that the back end is hosted on Bold servers and is extremely cumbersome to load, and to navigate. You can have an Option Set, which contains a list of Options, and those Options can have a list of products (in the case of automatic price adjustments). You can't alter a product through Shopify normally because all the data for the Option Sets are stored on Bold servers and they don't know the change occurred. You are required to alter products through the interface provided by Bold.
Every time you make any change through the Bold interface, everything connected to that change needs to be updated. If you change a product in an Option, every Option Set that is linked to that Option needs to be updated. If you change a product in an Option and that product is also in other Options, you need to manually go into those Options and save them so the changes will be recognised.
Every change you make requires a long waiting period where the system goes up the tree and readjusts everything internally - the more Options in the Option Set, the more Option Sets the Options are used in and the more products within an Option, the longer the wait. We're talking a minimum of 5 seconds for the most simplistic of Sets, and a minute or two for complicated branches.
Finally, changes made (especially when actually applying these Option Sets to the store front products) take often up to 10 minutes to actually be reflected on the web site - and some times they just don't take at all. Some times you just have to go back in and save the Sets again hoping this time it will work.
Overall, the App works mostly well as far as front end code goes (although a lot of modifications were required to get everything working as expected on our non-Shopify bought theme, a task I expect most people aren't up to). Almost all of the issues come from a complicated and cumbersome imperfect back end, and Bolds reluctance to improve their product as noted by other reviews - which is inexcusable for a subscription product. But when it's working, it shows the potential to be something of great use.
Hi there - thank you very much for taking the time to leave us this detailed review of your experiences. Our product expert, Samuel, has already reached out to you with details on everything you've mentioned, so I won't rehash that here!
I just wanted to apologize for the less-than-stellar experience you've had with our support team thus far. Often, our specialists are great at reading through the previous correspondence to understand an issue, however sometimes this falls through the cracks and gets a bit convoluted when we have to escalate certain issues to a more technical team. That certainly is not your fault, and shouldn't result in having to re-explain your issue, so I am very sorry for that!
We hope that you'll be able to connect with our expert via email or phone, and discuss things further with him. He would love to make your experience with us going forward better than it has already been, if you decide you'd like to continue using our Options app. However, we understand you've found another app that may suit your business better, and we completely understand you need to do what's best for you!
This app has helped us become the number one store in our niche outperforming all of our competition. We highly recommend it!
EasyPontsに適応できるオプションアプリを探していました。自動インストールができなかったのでサポートを頼みました。Jadeが短時間でセットアップしてくれたおかげで無事に使えるようになりました。ありがとう！
Appreciate the kind words! Thank you for the review. We've passed your message along to Jade.
When I got this app, I was having some custom styling issues. I reached out to the support and both Alora and Nick were incredibly helpful in getting it solved ASAP AND Nick even gave me a suggestion to significantly decrease my page load time.
Would absolutely recommend!
Hey there! We're elated to hear that Alora and Nick were able to help you out, and give you help with the custom styling you were after. We are more than happy to do what we can with small styling fixes so that our apps better match a store's theme.
That's wonderful to hear that Nick was also able to provide you with some suggestions to help with your page load time! Thanks so much for the recommendation!
Based on your store name, I was wondering if it had something to do with a certain T.V. show. :-) Very cool.
It´s so amazing when you find, beside a great solution, a great customer service as well. thank you so much guys for helping me out with everything and for bringing what i needed to Shopify! You are the best!!!
The support available is exceptional. Very quick, fast and reliable. Product works great.
Extremely quick response, adaptation of resources, everything done the way we want, so far everything is wonderful, I recommend it!
Second store using Product Options. Easily handle some difficult tasks when you need more than the standard software provides.
I couldn't be happier with the customer service and tech support. In my opinion Bold Commerce is as good as it gets.
I've received speedy and helpful support for a great product. I would recommend Bold Product Options to anyone looking for that functionality.
