Easy to set up. Once a customer has paid, it is telling them it will ship in 3-5 days. So need to point out that you have to change your shipping details
This app is working better than another pre-sale app I tried (which oversold the number I had set). The customer service was helpful in getting WOD set up and working on my site. My only complaint is some orders are coming in without being tagged and apparently the customer is unaware it was on backorder. I noticed a slight delay in the button changing to "Backorder" and the shipping date showing up so I don't know if these customers are just super fast in hitting that "add to cart" button or if something else is causing the "backorder" to not be triggered. The pre-order information is not pulled into the ShopApp and anyone who purchases with on our site with Shop, Amazon, Apple or Google pay also doesn't get tagged.
When the app works, it works great. But every time I change 1 setting, it changes many on the background. This has always been the case from the start. Just tonight I simply changed the preorder message, that's literally all I did. I didn't touch any other setting, button, at all. And now the preorder message has disappeared from my out of stock products, the app de-embedded itself, and the box checked to show preorder message on product page was unticked. I ticked it and fixed it as much as the AI assistant could help, but it still isn't working. Now waiting for a human. And all I did was change the preorder message. Ok I've figure it out and I'm so angry. After doing the above, I have found that the app removed the check from continue selling when out of stock for every product! And I should have known because it did this once before in this exact scenario! I just changed the review from 3 stars to 2.
The pre order app wasn't always working. So all the settings where correct, and that the button didn't show. Or we had 1 bag already on pre order for over a mounth and the pre-order button disapeart and all the settings where correct..
I would not recommend this app. We have done many pre sales over the past 6 years and this app absolutely failed. Forcing you to take part payments - ie, 50% now and 50% later was a fail and it stopped people from buying. Customer service was also very limited and because of the time difference (I'm in Australia and I guess they were in the US or worked US hours, meant it took days to get responses from them and issues sorted). There are much better pre order apps - we ended up just removing the functionality of the app and dealing with pre-orders manually.
Buggy, did not work for us. Their AI support delays support. For this price we expected more.
Newly launching my pre-order collection, I will see how it goes with the app and update my review accordingly.
great
