What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants appreciate this app for its automation capabilities, especially in delivering digital products and licenses. They find the ability to import numerous license keys and automate downloads beneficial. Features like product bundling, PDF stamping, and download limits are also valued. The app's seamless integration with Shopify, responsive customer support, reasonable pricing, and security features are highly praised. It's seen as a tool that significantly enhances business efficiency.

We've had a great experience with SendOwl. We sell Blu-ray discs and use the service to include free digital copies with all of our discs. It went so well that we started offering download-only versions of our products.

First, Integration with Shopify is great, as is the ability to create packages of multiple products.

We don't use the PDF stamping yet, but I've tested it out and it works very well. It will be used to generate public display licenses with included customer information.

Second, I should note that due to our insanely huge file sizes (10gb-20gb), we mostly use external file hosting, which works flawlessly. The SendOwl service does a really good job of obfuscating those links and limiting the number of downloads.

Lastly, I'm posting this review because the company asked if I'd be willing to share my opinion. I should note that unlike some other top apps in other categories in the app store (some of which *are* very good on merits), SendOwl did NOT offer an incentive to post a positive review, which I believe speaks volumes about the integrity of the company. Some app publishers will offer X months of free service for a positive review. My company will happily pay for products that make our lives easier and improve our business.

I am updating this review on May 2, 2015. I've continued to be a customer but just wanted to thank the team for adding a "duplicate bundle" feature. I use another app that grants volume discounts, but it does it by creating variants and each of these variants needed to be linked to a separate bundle for automatic delivery. It's a quick and elegant fix that solved my problem. If I had thousands of skus, it wouldn't be the answer, but for a few dozen skus it took me just a few minutes to create 5 variants for each item (the variable being price).

We've been using SendOwl to deliver activation numbers to downloaded software bought on our shopify store. We've sold over 100 since starting 2 months ago and delivery has been seamless and perfect. Every order from shopify has been fulfilled instantly by SendOwl. Great app! And when I had questions when originally installing, the SendOwl team was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended.

Works smoothly and allows us to bundle products together easily for specific variants on Shopify. I also love that:
- You can delivery in various formats, from redirect link to file upload to drip, to a service.
- through SendOwl we can send product updates to all our customers.
- when you process a refund on Shopify it automatically locks file access as well on SendOwl (but you can undo that if customer still needs access)
- able to set up a link to the downloads page from all the customer touch points, like thank you page, order page, and order confirmation email.

This app is by far the best for digital delivery. We switched from one of the other app options and our support requests for download link problems went down to zero on the first day and none since! Support has been amazing! Highly recommended.

I started with the free application from Shopify but it wasn't properly translated, it was too slow and it lacked the download link at the end of the purchase.

This one has all that! You need to pay but they deliver, thanks!

This is a consistently good app that we have found to be reliable in delivering our downloadable legal agreements. Good support too.

I've been using SendOwl on my Shopify store for years, and it's honestly made selling digital products so much easier. The setup was simple, and I appreciate how it automates deliveries while still giving me control over download links. It's great to see my customers have a smooth experience, and I'm happy I can rely on SendOwl to keep things running smoothly. The whole process has become efficient and stress-free, which is exactly what I need!

We absolutely adore this App! More than 75% of our products are digital, and we've used it now for nearly 2 years. We've been so pleased with it's performance. We've had only a couple of issues, and once brought to the makers attention, were addressed lightning fast!!! Excellent customer service. We'll be users of this App for good!
