We love the ease of the interface. Some really great features here to handle preorders in a very straightforward manner. Also, incredibly friendly and responsive customer service!

After working out a kink or two...the app is great. I've already have orders that I may not have had without it. A customer can pre-order what may be a large purchase and they have an approximate guideline of when payment will be due. Purple Dot keeps up with all the information and works with Shopify great. I even have a older website template. For minimal amount of money and does what I need it ...

Great customer service from this app, we had a technical issue and they ran me through step by step and also took over where I couldn't to resolve the issue. A great tool for pre-order.

I emailed before installing the app to ask if they supported my Focus theme and I was told they did. I installed the app and created over 20 pre-orders just to find out the app wasn't compatible with our mobile site. The team then sent me a list of compatible themes and mine was on there! After they just acknowledged it wasn't compatible which is ironic. Great concept and UI but terrible ...

Installed and used the app for two weeks.
2 major negatives:
1.
It covered our product pre-order pages with "powered by purple dot".
2.
Our products disappeared from the Google shopping channel. After uninstalling the app all the products reappeared on Google shopping.
Unacceptable. 1*

I have very recently set up my Shopify store and am still getting to grips with all it has to offer. From the reviews for Purple Dot I thought it would be the best app to use for pre-orders, plus I like how they just charge a fee for each sale and not a monthly subscription as many of the others I looked into. I had a little enquiry and am absolutely thrilled with the customer service from Zach. ...

Update 5-22-23: I appreciate support getting the product refreshed in the app and the ability to add them to a waiting list but I have been waiting 8 days to get the product page button and 3 lines of text to show. After giving access to store for the devs there is still no resolution. I guess I will have to look elsewhere as I need this to work so I can recover lost sales due to availability by ...

The app doesn't work like it should be. I couldn't select the products I needed for a pre-order. And when I asked the customer service, they replied by asking my password of the store to check everything. Very shady and unprofessional. This is literally the first time an app asked me to share my password via email to check where the problem could be in my store, while they should check where the ...

So far so good with this app. Customers were able to place a pre-order with no issues. I am currently waiting on inventory to arrive but I have faith that the process to fulfill orders will go smoothly.

Didn't work and after 3 days+ of waiting for help from their tech support via their chat where they take hours to respond, I decided to uninstall the app. Horrible customer service.
