Route ‑ Protection & Tracking

I granted Route collaborator access to install their app on my Shopify website. During this process, the widget broke my checkout button. When a customer went to checkout, it opened a file instead of leading to the checkout page. This went unnoticed for quite some time and negatively impacted my sales.
Additionally, a Route cashback promotion was added to my widget without my approval, which could have caused further losses.
These issues are unacceptable, especially given the trust I placed in the Route team. Based on these experiences, I do not feel confident recommending this app. I hope Route provides clearer guidance to their installation team to prevent similar problems in the future.

They raised rates on us and don't cover the order AFTER the order was placed and BEFORE it was processed. Customer called to have protection added on after they completed order, we added it BEFORE the order was processed. Route then would NOT honor the protection after order was damaged. Con artists.

Horrible company as soon as they have to cover more than 2 orders they decided they " have to terminate services'. 100 order and 2 needed to be paid out and they end the service with us. I say go with another company for your website

Route has recently fallen short of expectations. They charge customers a significant amount for package insurance, yet when it comes time to file a claim, they become unhelpful. Recently, they did not assist us with a lost package, and we have decided we will be taking our business elsewhere.

We highly recommend against this app. We have had no access to the features to file claims, our customers were unable to file claims on their own, and when you close your account, they want a year's worth of invoices for services not rendered.
A quick look at their Instagram will show you that they don't allow comments or show likes - red flags for any eCommerce business.

Definitely do not recommend. So much that I had to reinstall the app just to leave the review. Always have to fight with getting the customer taken care of with this app when you have a claim, support is lacking. They did end up paying the claims they owed after it was all said and done with though. There are better apps out there.

My store has over 30
+ sales for .98 Shopify says its a bot through this app. Hopefully the developers contact me soon. I uninstalled yesterday, but apparently it takes a couple days and my aov is suffering. The app is marking it fraud and returning money, Shopify says I have 2Factor Auth turned on so they can't get to any of my data! I'm so annoyed...

Buyer beware, don’t do it!! Big mistake, after being called a million times, we installed this application, and the integration was seamless; however, that is the only positive interaction. After-sales support is nonexistent. The first month we get the bill, and our credit card is overcharged by approximately $250. We attempted to set up a call without success since phone support is nonexistent outside of sales for this company. To make a long story short, we ended up uninstalling the application and had to dispute the overcharges, terrible experience, BIG HASSLE! (Notice your sales representative does not have a phone number in their signature line). Wish I could leave a ZERO STAR REVIEW

This app is horrible now I have to constantly keep emailing back-and-forth for them to attach the route feature to my checkout. It was on my checkout for about a year and now all of a sudden it disappeared and I’ve gone back-and-forth for weeks now trying to get them to add it back to my cart I don’t understand why so difficult. On top of that every single time I try to login it tells me my password doesn’t work and every single time I go to change my password. It still tells me the new password that I changed it to doesn’t work. The only time that it lets me login is when I have to email somebody they have to send me password reset link and then it will work. I don’t understand what is wrong with this app and why it is so horrible now

Disappointing Experience — Lack of Support and Unfair Billing Practices

We had high hopes when integrating Route into our store, but unfortunately, our experience has been deeply disappointing. From the start, we operated under a verbal agreement regarding a profit share model, which Route later claimed was never formalized—despite it being a key part of our original understanding.

When we raised concerns about billing discrepancies, instead of working with us toward a fair resolution, the team became unresponsive and dismissive. We were told the issue would be reviewed, but have since been met with delays and no effort to find a middle ground. It's frustrating to feel ignored, especially when we're simply asking for transparency and fairness.

If you're a merchant looking for a partner who values clear communication and mutual respect, I strongly urge you to think twice. Our goal was always to resolve this professionally and respectfully, but we were left with no support and no resolution.
