Utterbond Subscriptions App

Giving it 5 stars even before I use it because the customer service has been so good (once I figured out they're in India and it was better to contact them at night (which is easy for me)). There were issues with integrating with our Shopify Theme. But they patiently took care of it. Our site goes live in a couple weeks. This is when Iook forward to testing it and giving the another 5 stars for how it actually works.

I installed the app and was easy to set up and I'm not a tech-minded chap. I've just had come help on chat which was also great. The true value for me is good fast support which is what I received - bravo Native Team, thank you.

This app works well for our subscription programs. We have monthly, bi-monthly and quarterly programs and this app allows us to automatically execute the subscriptions of our products regularly.

Please note that I have updated my review a few times. The only thing holding back this review from a 5-star status is the lack of a fully functional analytics or reporting dash. I spend a minimum of one hour per day making my own reports, and the comprehensive monthly report takes me about 5 hours. Additionally, there continue to be support issues with regard to certain payment methods; it would be best if the system limited guests to only use payment types that are 100% supported - but it is unclear which those are. Overall, though, a good app and a good support team - they just need to focus on the issues that are holding it back from being perfect.

After vetting many options, this was the only one with the flexibility to handle the complex set of requirements that we have. In addition to one of the most complete out-of-the-box solutions, they are very helpful with custom development if you sign up for the highest priced plan.

Customer support has been consistently available, friendly and understanding of the special needs we have for our business.

***One thing that we would make anyone aware of before moving forward is that Apple Pay and Google Pay are not super friendly with subscription programs; this is not specific to this app - it is an issue with how Apple and Google handle the account and payment verifications. If you have Apple and Google pay on your site and use any subscription app at all, you'll find it almost impossible to collect the recurring payments. Our advise is to simply disable Apple Pay and Google Pay if you have subscription products, regardless of which app you select. Additionally, Paypal Express is hit or miss; it isn't the fault of the app, it's due to a limitation with the Paypal permissions and requires the individual users to allow for recurring payments on their end. I mention this, because we were immediately frustrated when we say many recurring payments start to fail - and of course we came to Utterbond to resolve the problem. But in the end, it wasn't their fault. There are many parties involved here and they aren't all on the same page and probably never will be, so keep things simple and don't add too many payment options if you want the highest rate of success on the recurring billings.***

Thank you!

Great app. Be sure to send messages for problems in advance if you're in the USA... they are a little different on time as most apps are. ... but for the price and ease of setup it is a wonderful and well constructed app. Something Shopify desperately needed. We've been at the mercy of complicated high rates for bad design for too long.

I can only give my best recommendation to this app. My needs for a subscription plan was not easy. I try lots of different apps.
With Jigs wonderful help and patience, it succeed. This app is easy to work with, and aftter it is set up, you just have to see the money roll in month after month :)

We LOVE this app! It's easy to use, works perfectly, and the customer service is great. They've quickly answered any questions we've had. We're so glad we moved to this platform!

This app really works very well. Not everything worked perfectly from the beginning but the support is really great! We were helped very quickly and gaps in the code were closed immediately according to our wishes. The people from Thimatic also do the complete installation on request and the response time is also very fast. So we can only recommend this app!

I tried 3 other apps before I finally found this one. It's the only one of it's kind. I needed a way for customers to both build their own mix and match bundle AND be able to subscribe to that bundle. This was perfect for it. Great support for CSS customization as well.

Great app and easy to use / understand. Customer support is also great, fast and efficient. Would be useful to include an option to give customers / create free subscriptions (we like to gift subscriptions as raffle prizes for local charities).
