SC Product Options

Hey, Tamer told me to reach out. I like your options app, but it would be nice if changing the options caused the item price to auto-update instead of having a separate value update for add-ons.

Thanks

very useful app, easy to use and works!

The application is invaluable. It makes doing business for us so much easier. Then I had a technical issue and that is where things got BETTER. The tech support was great the whole way through the process. I was getting emails throughout the day with updates. Great Team Effort. Thanks BOLD.

I have been using this app for years. now we updated to a new theme and ran into some problems. But the support of Bold Option App was super quick and helpful to fix all the issues. Now everything rans perfectly again. Thank you for the kind costumer support service

Really useful APP, will save us a lot of time and gives us so much more flexibility
Support was really good to help finish off the setup.

Thanks

Excellent support, responsive app, well designed adds a lot more flexibility to products day one. We used there install option and can now customise products easily with NO IT support. Strongly Recommended

Very efficient! They got back to our request within a day. Amazing customer service!

When Sandy Steven Engravers (www.SandyStevenEngravers.com) was building it's e-commerce store on the Shopify platform, it's sales funnel needed to add numerous engraving and customization options to the jewelry, accessories and gifts sold online. We had several requirements for a product page, which included numerous text fields, ability to upload images, text field limits, size variations, variants that add on additional charges etc. Another important requirement was not to visually overwhelm a prospective customer with numerous fields on a product page and to maintain a minimalist and clean page layout. These conflicting and complex requirements at first glance suggested having to hire a developer. However, we did not really want to do that, because that traps you from a business point of view, especially when you need to be nimble on the web. Shopify options alone, did not provide the functionality we required so we looked to the App-Store ... We inspected and looked at example sites for each and every product option app available. We did note that most people wanted simple to use, that is understandable, mainly because their customization requirements are comparatively less complex. However none met up to the functionality and customization features offered by the Product Options app from Bold Commerce. We noted several comments from other user reviews complaining about difficulty and confusion when trying to integrate this app, which again, is understandable. This app takes a bit of careful thinking, pre-visualization of process, and understanding, especially if you want to handle complex options for a single SKU. However, once you set up a few, it becomes pretty easy. We did have a few issues at the beginning - actually, they were more like growing pains, and like those who have complained in other reviews got a little frustrated, but customer support was rock-solid from Bold Commerce. They want to keep you as a customer, and we had several of their agents look into whatever issues we had in setting up ... and we did it all via email. You can't ask for more from customer service than solving your problem. Sandy Steven Engravers has utilized the Product Options app for over a year since launching our website, and it has been an invaluable add-on for our website and has made customizing engravable fine jewelry and gifts simple to do online by customers. We give this app our highest recommendation. Update - July 15, 2021: In 2021 we needed to upgrade to V.02 of Bold Product Options, following a theme upgrade to our Shopify store. We were facing multiple technical issues which were there on one day and when you check back the next it's not - you guys know what I mean right? Well despite all these confusion and frustrating technical glitches Bold was again "Superb". Grant was our "main man" - not only did he begin by looking into the existing problems, identified the issues, and sorted them all out before beginning the upgrade. He went out of his way to explain, differences that our store would experience and provided guidance to ensure that our existing options were structured correctly so that they would upgrade to V02 without any issues. And it worked! The most notable experience was that we had reassuring hands-on technical assistance every step of the way, and the Grant took time to provide in-depth answers to our many questions during the process. This is a rare service to find in the industry, especially if you have limited coding knowledge. Our sincere thanks to Grant and our highest recommendation once again (now 5 years running) to the Bold Product Options App.

I have had to seek support (on a number occasions) and I haven't found it very easy to get. At least half of the time I look, their online chat function is disabled (I thought it was a glitch but was told by an operator that they take it down when they get busy.....), I have called in and spoken with someone who said they would get back to me once they learn the answer (only they never called back), and I have written emails (mostly recently Wednesday of this week--it is now Saturday) and they take several days (they say 48 hours but in my experience its been longer) to respond.
Edited Nov 25, 2015 -- they have helped me resolve the issue -- took from Oct 19 to Nov 25, but it was resolved. A notice on their website said the Black Friday rush had them scrambling. Overall I like the product enough to keep using it as it does more than the Shopify variants can. I increased the stars from 2 to 3.
Edited Setp 27, 2019 -- its been buggy for a while. Finally with the integration of another feature it became untenable so reached out to Bold for a fix as the cart is not showing pricing and it isn't integrating with the new multi-currency option -- been waiting a week and still waiting for a reply (after multiple attempts to contact them). Been told someone will respond but they don't. I see there are several production option alternatives and at this point, figuring we may need to look there.

Update: Feb 15, all of my stores options disappeared but thankfully someone was able to log into my store to fix the code within 20 min.

Last night Feb 2, 2024 The app again stopped adding options to products. I tried the same trick of changing the cache's last two digits in the code as they instruct on their website and that didn't work. And I can't use their Refresh App with Shopify button within the app because it will WIPE out all product options for my entire store and they don't warn people about this before hand. I gave them permissions and the options are still "waiting to refresh" 24 hours later. Speaking to customer service will get you frustrated because it seems like no one is actually listening to the issue and they keep recommending the same tricks that I've already explained that I tried or can't because of a bug within the app. I may need to move on and try the competing app offered in the Shopify store. I've used this app since 2016 when it was under BOLD Apps before ShopCircle took it over and I've had nothing but issues since then.

Jan 17th 2023 For the first time in 3 years the app within Shopify went down tonight and will NOT load. All of my product options for my products are not showing and this needs to be fixed. I now get within Shopify Admin a grey page that says: options.shopapps.site refused to connect.

I've checked a few stores that also have product options running and it's not affecting all shops, only some of us which makes me think I'm not on a good server.
They stated they had server issues and that it's fixed but now product changes are taking over 45 minutes to refresh. Still waiting for answers but just getting canned cut and paste responses.

----------------------------------------

After speaking with Alina from Shop Circle, she was able to get the required changes made and make it look a bit more seamless than it was on the initial install. I'm happy with the changes made and look forward to another 3 years of use.

-----------------------------
After having this app for 3 years under Bold and it working perfectly, the app was sold off to a company named Shop Circle. At this point I'm not that impressed and I'm concerned that the service isn't the same as the previous company. I've been left hanging with an open request to install the app on a new Shopify 2.0 theme and it's the only thing holding me back from being able to publish my store. They'll also just log in, makes changes and disappear without a word still leaving the app not functional nor addressing my initial concerns for what needed to be integrated.
