Paid Marketing by Shoelace

VERY disappointed with the way I have been treated by the team at shoelace. I started using this app way back in 2017-2018 when they had their free (basic) version. I ran into some issues of late - the app wasn't automatically updating my catalog in the FB account, thereby serving old ads and pictures to potential customers. I contacted them right away to try and fix the issue and see what we can do. Instead of getting a response to solve my query, they sent me a blanket email from Cam O'Neill (supposedly the account executive at shoelace) saying that I had to be spending a minimum of $2000 with shoelace to be able to get ANY form of customer support from them.
I told him I don't have that kind of money to spend in the first place which was why I went on their basic plan to begin with! But no reply after several days.
I honestly would've been happy to pay for them to maintain my account but as a small business, $2000 a month blows my budget out of the water. And that is NOT even including AD SPEND!! So - This is how shoelace treats their LOYAL customers. I am left shocked, baffled and disgusted by their lack of customer service and empathy. Would NOT recommend to anyone. They are quite literally just money-hungry so do yourself a favour and use a different FB retargeting app altogether.

This company, once a resource to small businesses, changed their business model. Shoelace is not a good partner for a small businesses. We worked with them for 5 years before we parted ways. Pay attention to the reviews that all say the same thing: they once were a solid partner, and now they aren't. Be well.

So very disappointed with Shoelace ads. After years of using them for retargeting ads, we upgraded to the very expensive prospecting service. It was a joke. Store owners, please feel free to reach out to me. I would be happy to share my experience and numbers. Also, I just removed their app and they deleted all of my history! We paid for them to run these ads, also for the ads and audiences themselves. This information should be ours to keep. amy@shopsimplyme.com

installed the app two weeks ago, but the campaigns were never set by the team, I sent two emails a week ago, and no one has replied to me.

This would be a good app if I can get someone to call me back or fix the issue of not being able to log in. I was referred to this app but am wondering if I need to look into others. They never seem to respond.

I'll be honest. They change their app all the time without telling their customers and ignore their older clients. I have no idea if the app is even working on my platform anymore (and they don't care to notify you) because I haven't seen a bill in months and when I email them they tell me that they don't have the plan I'm on anymore. No notice on this whatsoever. I'm moving apps.

Don't belive what the app tells you, ours has said it's made £2954 in sales (last 30 days) retuning 768 cutomers for a spend of £450... thats pretty crap as a return goes... but here's the bad news, when you look at google analytics the truth comes out... Shoelace only got us two sales (yes only two). what a ripping off scam it is... don't trust their data at all.

Used with Kit. Worst thing we ever did to our facebook ads account! It completely took over roles and accounts/pixels etc. and we have been unable to get our ads account back to tracking the shopify data we need on our account. We will have to hire a professional just to get it put back to the way it was originally. Also the ads were generic and didn't provide a good ROI. We spent over 10k in advertising to give it a fair shot. We literally wasted that money and ended up in worse condition than we started.

unfortunately,
spent about $300 to get $774 of turnover during 2 months (used as retargeting and added to cart together) - no interest,
so it was deleted like waste app

This is an useless app, they deactivate ads without even letting us know the reason several times and make us loose money, at ths price it's a shame.
