No actual free plan, you're tricked into downloading it only to be brought to a page to give them money.
Can't even see if their templates might be fit for my store, not a super good business model to say you can try it out for free when you're instantly hit with a paywall. That's definitely a false advertising move.
Hi there! I appreciate you taking the time and writing this review while also sharing your feedback with us.
We do offer a Free plan which is available for users and stores who are installing Shogun for the first time as the plan is more of a way to test the app and the editor. However, looking at your account, I see our app was installed 3 months ago, on 2023-05-09 and the Build plan was activated. The app was then uninstalled and reinstalled again on August 1, 2023, which is why you didn't see the Free plan option since the Build plan was the last plan activated on the account.
I can understand the frustration here and I'll be happy to look into this further for you.
I have reached out to you via email and would appreciate it if you would reply back to me. Thanks for your support.

Shogun Page Builder
Very prompt customer service!
Very easy to use. Prompt and caring support from the developers. Very good online documentation.
another stupid app, i installed this app to try it on my product page, but when i uninstall it then it f....up my product page, you can not reset the settings,,,now i have to delete the product and add it all over again to m store
the worse thing is that i saw that the modification that i did on one product page is affecting all the other products pages,, so i have to reinstall my theme all over again and setup all the customization that i did which means doing the work all over
DONT CALL ME AGAIN BECAUSE I WILL NOT TAKE DOWN MY REVIEW
Hi Amin,
Sorry to hear that you had issues with the use of Shogun.
Shogun makes very minimal additions to your theme and does not have the ability to edit all of your product pages, just the ones that you import into Shogun and edit in Shogun - even then, we don't edit the theme, just the product description.
We called once to try to help you resolve the issues, and also followed up by email offering further assistance - we appreciate honest reviews and would never ask you to remove or amend a review until we helped you resolve the issues that you were experiencing and were 100% satisfied with the solution. Unfortunately, we have not heard back from you to our offers of assistance - but please always feel free to get in touch if you require assistance.
Best of luck in your future endeavours.

It is unfortunate that the free version allows you to work in a very limited way. While with other page builders you have access to much more. I wanted to try shogun but because they keep everything so limited with the free version I am not much with this.
Hi there, Mats! Thanks for sharing the feedback in the form of this review.
We appreciate the feedback and I wanted to let you know that the Free plan is more of a way to test and get a feel for the editor. It helps to check if Shogun would be a good fit for your requirements. The Free plan is indeed limited and while I can't comment on how other apps work and what is offered with the Free plan, we do offer 10 days of free trial on our other plans so that you can test more features before you are ready to commit.
I can understand if you wanted to try Shogun further, but I see you have since decided to uninstall our app.
I have reached out to you via email directly and I'll be happy to discuss this further and assist you better if you could reply back to my message.
Thanks for your support.

Shogun Page Builder
Update: In the meantime I had several contacts and also multiple attempts from different people at Shogun to assist me and to make it right (which really speaks for them). I still decided to uninstall their app. They helped to clean-up my site and removed any leftover code, too. Based on their eager to please customer service I would have given it another try with their app, but in the meantime we decided to walk a different route and there is no longer a need for us to use such an app/their app. I changed my initial rating from 1 star to 3 stars - because of their high interest to win me back and make it right. Their customer support seems to be excellent. I will leave my initial feedback below - so you can see where I was coming from and what happened initially. I had a VERY unpleasant experience with this app - BE AWARE!!!
I installed it to test and see what it does and it created ALL KIND of unwanted side effects!!
It modifies the HTML of your product in Shopify!! Even after you delete the test product page - their HTML code still is left in your product HTML - they don't clean up their @#$%! They even redirected one of my product URL and it took me some time to figure out how I could revert back to my original product listing/collection. Uninstalling their app does NOT clean up the changes they made to your Shopify store/pages/products!!! As I said - BE AWARE - if you like their app and stay with them - then you are probably ok, but if you just want to check it out and test it - I strongly recommend not to use one of your active products or pages and be aware that you have to do quite some clean up afterwards after you decide not to use their app!
Hey there, Denis! I apologize for the unpleasant experience you had with Shogun.
I can see you were communicating with my colleague, however, I also reached out to you in a separate email explaining this in detail and how we can help resolve the issue for you. Having said that, allow me to share a bit more information here.
It looks like you had deleted a few product pages that were imported to Shogun. We don't recommend deleting pages that are imported to Shogun such as the product pages. If you wish to move back to the original version of the page before the import, we have a feature called Revert Import that helps to restore the original version of any page you've imported into Shogun.
Also, when you uninstall Shogun from your Shopify store, all live pages remain live on the store. This is the reason why our code also remains in the theme to ensure that these pages do not encounter any issues. This is again, the reason why we suggest using the Revert Import option to undo any page imports.
However, we are more than happy to assist you with the removal of this code and I'd appreciate it if you could reach out to me via email so that we can assist you further.

Shogun Page Builder
Highly recommend. We've tried a dozen page-building apps for Shopify and Shogun wins by far. If possible, I would also give their Customer Service 6 stars because of their quick and thorough responses.
Thank you so much for your review! Really appreciate the kind words!

Sucks for product page editing. You can't move existing elements like product description.
Might work for something else but its no good for product page editing.
Hey there! We reached out and got in touch with Heather, but still trying to get in touch with you. You can actually make completely custom page layouts for product pages; when you're in the product page editing flow, choose the "Custom Layout" option instead of the "Existing Layout" option. The latter is restricted to your theme layout, the former allows you to put the product fields wherever you like. Reply to us at support@getshogun.com if you have any questions. Our team would be happy to walk you through it. - Nick (Cofounder, Shogun)
I have a number of Shopify stores and Shogun is the first app I install. I can't say enough about how easy and flexible Shogun is to use. On top of this, Nick, Finbarr, and the team are always available for support and bend over backward to help. If you need to build a page - any page - on your Shopify store, there is no better app than Shogun.
Using a page builder like this is WAY BETTER than trying to write some HTML on your own in standard page builder. Good variety of "blocks" (accordion, tabs, columns, etc). Product page has to be designed per product, but I spoke with the designer and that feature to apply a custom template to ALL products is on the roadmap for some future release. You can use "snippets" to kinda copy/paste the layout across all your products though. Would work for a store with maybe 20 products, but large stores would not have a good time with that limitation. Limited templates right now, but the designer is also working on releasing some new ones which is awesome. I might try this app again in the future, but right now it is not for me. Try it out for yourself though.
