Swym Back in Stock Alerts

Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback. We are disappointed to hear that your experience with our app did not meet your expectations.

On paid plans, our app is designed to send out the back-in-stock notifications automatically to the subscribers as soon as we receive a restock update from Shopify. Please be assured that our systems are designed to send notifications only when products are restocked with a positive stock quantity.

One potential cause for the issue you faced could be due to the multiple store locations feature in Shopify. Even in that case, our app can be configured to provide better control over the restock alerts based on locations.

We tried reaching out to you via email so that we can set up the app in a way that is more suitable for your business model and we are waiting to hear from you. If you are still interested in exploring the benefits of our back-in-stock app, please don't hesitate to contact us at your convenience via email. We are dedicated to assisting you and enhancing your experience with us.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your experience with us. We wanted to let you know that we have taken extreme care in designing our apps in a way that it doesn't impact your store performance since that is supercritical. We make sure our app snippets load last on your website so that we don’t hinder the website's performance in any way.

We would love to hear more about the issues you are facing with the app as we couldn’t find any contacts or support tickets from you. Any further context on the issue you are facing will help us look into this further for you. We have tried reaching out to you via email to get some insights so that we can validate and assist you further. We request you to reply to our email with the app-related issues you are facing and we would be happy to take care of them for you.

Thank you for trying out our app, and for your review. I am glad you like the features - we do have a free plan. I am sorry if that wasn't very clear during the install/setup process but we still very much support it. Please let us know if we can help you get setup on the FREE plan for the app.

Thank you for taking the time to review our app. We understand it’s frustrating when your customer receives a back-in-stock alert for a product that was not restocked and they were unhappy about it.

With that said, At Swym we always own a merchant problem and provide a timely solution and it’s painful to know that we haven’t been able to deliver that value to you.

Our app is designed to collect subscriptions for Sold-out products and trigger the alerts only when we receive a product update from Shopify for these subscriptions. This is generally true of all the back-in-stock apps in the Shopify AppStore. We completed a thorough investigation of the issue you reported to see why those emails were triggered.

For the period from October 19-21, a total of 20 alerts were sent by the app across 6 different products. Our app triggers alert based on 2 events:

1. A shopper signs up for an alert on an out-of-stock product
2. We receive an update from Shopify that tells us a product is in-stock.

Only when these 2 events occur in combination can an alert get triggered. In every single one of the cases where alerts were sent for your store, we’ve verified that both these events happened. However, the issue seems to be that the first event, i.e. a shopper signing up for a back-in-stock alert was able to do so even when the product was actually in stock according to Shopify - indicating that the product-detail page was showing the product as Sold Out for that particular variant.

This can occasionally happen depending on your theme settings but because the app had been uninstalled, we were not able to validate this. It is only with the data we are piecing together from our logs that we were able to conclude that. We have shared our findings and logs on the support request you opened, please check and let us know if you’d like more information. Even if you choose not to reinstall our app, we’d like to help you get to the bottom of this issue and help resolve it for you because it will likely cause other related issues for you.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Our FREE plan is in fact for the first 50 signups but we make that very clear on our app store page and our pricing plans. We have a large number of merchants that have been on our FREE plan for the last 3+ years and continue to see value from it because it meets their needs. Please note that we also support a 30-day free trial on all our plans, so if you'd like to see if it's worthwhile, please reach out to us and we are happy to work with you to see how we can help. We work hard to drive value for merchants like yourself but in a fashion that's sustainable for us to be able to deliver a quality offering, so please help us help you.

Thank you for your review. I am sorry the app didn't work for you - the app tries to attach itself automatically to your product pages but on certain themes, some manual configuration steps might be necessary. I am guessing this was one such.

Our support team did email you back as soon as possible to help get this resolved and I hope you received that email. Our merchant customers are seeing a lot of demand and we've been working round the clock to be responsive - and get back to them as quickly as possible. I am sorry you had a frustrating experience and that we wasted your time, but we are definitely trying to be available and do what we can to support our merchants. Thank you for trying the app out and good luck with your store. We'd be happy to get the issue addressed if you'd still like us to, just let us know. Take care and stay safe!

Hello there,

Sorry to hear that the app didn't work for you. We don't have a way to automatically clean up after the uninstall because we lose access to your store as soon as you uninstall. That said, we are committed to helping you remove any remnant code - our support team has reached out to you in that context, please reply to our email and we'll take care of this for you.
