BOGOS: Free Gift Bundle Upsell

The app caused the worst bug ever. It messed up the currencies we have on the store, which created a huge opportunity for us to lose revenue. After fixing the bug, we couldn't add the bundle to the cart until we reloaded the page. It's so frustrating and has damaged our sales because we are running ads to these bundle pages. Other bundle types are terrible too, for example the buy X get 1 free (the cheapest).

it's a fraud app, it charges on the store even if you uninstalled it & when asked for a reason they are saying billing is managed by shopify we dont know anything , send bunch of screenhots & we'll see.

didn't even use app but it still charged me.

I have initially, chosen the BOGOS bundle app, due to it is visual strong appearance and the high number of 5 star reviews. Upon install, the free trial, which if i remember correctly was 15 days, ran out while i as still experimenting with the app as my experimental stage took longer than needed due to high frequency of needing to go back and forth to support team to fix things. One major draw back is that you have to keep on going back to dev team to adjust simple UX matters such as font size or glitch with add to cart button/text color as the app does not offer this. It feels as if you did not purchase a bundle app, instead you have purchased a subscription with support team. The second major item, is that i had to keep going back and forth with dev team to remind them to resolve some issues. For example, once i request bundle title font size adjustment, they fix it, then if it still needs adjustment had to go back to them to adjust font size again, this cycle could take 2 days. If it happens you do this near the weekend, then I have to wait 2 days until the weekend is over as they are off on weekends. Simple matters such as having a redirecting link bundle booster page (as my website is in 2 languages) had to go to support team to fix, which took several days, as the bundle does not accommodate language URL redirection out of the box. I had to wait for something like 7 days with live bundle booster page taking my English and arabic users to an arabic bundle page as you have to insert the full URL not only the later part of the URL for redirection. When I subscribed, I selected the Basic plan as it covers my needs, but after installation i discovered this plan is not available for my store and i had to go with Grow plan, paying more without BOGOS fully disclosing that if your shopify store is on the Grow plan, then you need the BOGOS Grow plan, which exceeds my current needs. Some customers complained from the mix and match bundle being unintuitive especially for mobile users, so they opt to contact us on WhatsApp as oppose to finishing the sale online. I have installed a session recording/replay app to watch online customer sessions, and found out that the app is indeed not intuitive and easily makes customers fall out of bundle. In a nutshell, the app is feature rich, technically strong with amazing support team, but not user friendly, and not for businesses that rely on small teams to manage even if your technically strong. I am about to uninstall it and move on to try some other bundle apps. In summary, the bundle presentation creates decision friction, lets customers bypass the bundle offer path (for mix and match), makes customer experience feels patched together rather than smooth upselling and intentional. I am disappointed, that i have to be back in the market looking for a more suitable app!!!!! I normally do not like to leave negative reviews, but i thought this might be helpful to give you store owners some light about what will happen behind the scenes and maybe encourage BOGOS to enhance their app by adding font, padding and other simple customizations out of the box, and revisit their mix and match bundles flow intuitivity. Good lucks!

Strong Warning – Do NOT Install This App (GOGOS.io) I strongly advise against installing GOGOS.io on any live Shopify store. Before even considering this app, test it only on a development or test store, and carefully read the negative reviews from merchants who were harmed by it — myself included. I am a Shopify developer, and this is one of the worst app experiences I have encountered on the Shopify ecosystem. Critical and Dangerous Issues • When I configured a Buy 1 Get 1 (same product) Free – auto add to cart offer, the app automatically created 157 fake/dummy products inside my store. • These products were not real, had no SKU, and were silently injected into my product list and orders. • As a result: • Orders contained ghost products with no tracking or inventory reference. • The storefront UI broke, showing blank product pages due to forced redirects created by the app. • The app redirected users to these fake product URLs, effectively damaging the storefront experience. Misleading Support & Lack of Transparency • I contacted support before creating the promotion, and at no point was I informed that: • The app would generate dummy products. • The promotion would apply to 157 duplicated items. • These products would be required to keep orders functional. • Once orders were created, I was told that removing or modifying those fake products would break existing orders — effectively locking my store into corrupted data. Unprofessional Workarounds • Instead of proper fixes, support suggested absurd “workarounds” such as: • Duplicating the same discount 7 times • Enabling and disabling discounts repeatedly • These are not solutions — they are signs of a deeply flawed system. Support is polite and friendly on the surface, but the outcome is loss of time, money, and store stability. Final Verdict This review reflects my experience with only two features of the app. I cannot imagine the potential damage caused by the rest of its so-called features. It is alarming that Shopify labels this app as “Built for Shopify”. In reality, this app: • Violates basic Shopify data integrity principles • Creates hidden, destructive side effects • Puts merchants at serious operational risk This app does not belong on the Shopify App Store. Avoid it entirely.

FYI - even though it says NOTHING about this in the app store, you actually have to pay $99/mo if you have Shopify plus - there is no "$29/mo" option. Super deceptive, I deleted the app immediately. Do better at vetting your Apps Shopify, we don't like feeling scammed.

You can't even view it on draft before you publish. Didn't like the customer service either.

DO NOT USE THIS APP - avoid at all cost- read full review, it will save you thousands of dollars. I had an extremely disappointing experience with this app and its support team. After uninstalling the app, I discovered that a cloned product remained active on my store, allowing customers to purchase an offer that should have been automatically disabled upon app removal. This resulted in financial loss as some customers took advantage of that and orders hundreds of the product for FREE!( up to 3000 USD!) When I reached out for support, instead of acknowledging the issue, they repeatedly sent policy articles and denied responsibility. I followed all their instructions to DISABLE the offer before removing the app, and even redownloaded it to verify—confirming that the offer was indeed deactivated. Despite providing clear proof, including video evidence, their team refused to take accountability or offer a refund for the losses caused by their system. If you're looking for an app that values transparency, reliability, and customer support, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This company has shown a complete lack of authenticity and accountability, leaving merchants to deal with the consequences of their technical failures. Would give zero stars if I could. Avoid at all costs

This is pathetic app, the moment I dowloaded and saved it to my theme my website crashed. The checkout drawer stopped working . Don't go with their rating.. Pathetic app. Beware before installing.

App doesnt work well. If their support team fixes up one thing, there is always something else that breaks. I haven't been able to use this app for what it was meant to do even though I have been paying $39 every month for the past few months. Whenever I set up a new offer there is always an issue: fraudulent orders being created, quantities not adjusted correctly are some of the issues experienced. Their previous version worked better, this new version not designed or tested properly. I cannot be testing the app for them.

The App allow customers to place 0 value orders of our gifts for campaign. The loss we had suffered from this app far exceed the app cost. We do not recommend this app to anyone.

Installed this app 7 hours ago. Have been in touch with the support ever since. I am facing three different issues. I have been assured that the issues are solved, but they simply are not. So I reached out to them again. They again assured me its fixed. But they are not. Struggling with this back and forth now for several hours. From an app that charges 50 euros per month i expect that it works straight away.

DO NOT INSTALL Continued to function after being uninstalled. Couldn't get it turned off. Worst app I have ever used.

It worked well for about two weeks. After that, something broke and all of the items in the special offer, you could add to your cart for free. after escalating it to their support, they started working on it - next morning they said its fixed, after I checked it was not fixed. I escalated it again, AGAIN after 1 day, they said now its fixed, only to find out today its not fixed. they are not even checking after their fixes. yes. their support is friendly, and quick to reply, but this situation is making me move away

Great support. Setting up was easy. No bugs so far, we just set it up in a matter of minutes and lets see how it goes from here. UPDATE after 2 weeks: After using the APP for 2 weeks, we encountered the first serious bug, people were able to add the gifts to their cart without reaching any treshhold. After looking at negative reviews, I see the problem is fairly common. However, after reporting the BUG, they supposedly fixed it, but after checking it was not fixed. Then again I reported it, then again after 24hours I get notified that its fixed.... but again... just to find out, that its still not fixed. either they do not even check after they "fix" things.... or they dont know how to fix it. This is getting ridiculous. At this point, we lost trust in their devs and will most definitely move away to a different app.

Stay away from this app. This app caused a major issue in our store. We used this app to create an offer - a small gift with purchase during a seasonal sale then had the offer scheduled to turn off after the sale was over. Months later, we figured out that people using Shop Pay got our high-priced items for free! Even though the offer was expired on the app. The products that people were getting were not free gifts, just regular SKUs. This error caused by Free Gift App was a loss of $2,500. This is not including all of the time that we are spending auditing the orders, being on the phone with support, and removing this code from our store. I reached out to their support team to request a reimbursement, and they completely denied my request even though they admitted it was their fault. (I wish I could attach screenshots of the conversation to this review as proof) Not only did the app zero out the cost of a regular SKU/variant that had nothing to do with a free gift but it also only works on the Online Store sales channel. Their support rep told me after the fact that they recommend posting products on the Online store only not other sales channels. Yet that is not listed anywhere on their website, instructions, or user guides. This is a problem because we have multiple sales channels like Shop, FB, IG stores etc... I bet that a lot of other stores do too. I can not believe that Shopify supports and recommends this app to store owners.

Just delete this app, useless. It will make your cart page very very slow. Even reduce the sales. After their coding team "Optimized" the speed of our cart page. All the products variant drop down does not work anymore. And I do not know what their coding guy did. The facebook pixel does not even work anymore. All my facebook ads saying there is no event been verified. All the tracking are also effected. We are spending thousands dollars on fb everyday. They literally caused us thousand dollars lost since yesterday they installed the code. Do not use this app unless you want to lose money. I have tried to contact their support many times. They have never get back to me.

This app requires the developers to add liquid code manually. I had 2 days of back and forth communication with Robert who said that even though they were on holiday, they would get it done, unfortunately he just ghosted me for 3 days, which caused us to scramble last minute to find another app at the last minute. I see others have had good service experiences but unfortunately our experience with this app was frustrating and disappointing. (I wouldn't have left a review, but Robert has sent 2 automated emails in the last few days to ask for one -so here it is).

I installed it and couldn't get it to work and so uninstalled it. Unfortunately according to Shopify Tech Support it added code that completely hosed my shopping cart. This made me lose 1/2 day of sales while Shopify support walked me through removing their code from the liquify files.

Horrible experience. They completely messed up my cart and when i add products to the cart, it doesn't update. Reached out to support and they said they backed up my theme, but they backed up my theme incorrectly. All the changes made were also in my "backup" theme. I had to manually revert all of the code they made and guess what, it all started to work again. I spent 3 hours trying to fix all of this and all customer support said during this time was that it wasn't their fault. Well I just fixed it by reverting all their code, so yes, it was their fault.

Really not good. The app creates a free variant on our website that is visible on our website, we tried to hide it many times but there is nothing to do. People can hack it and add free products to their orders. We have contacted the app many times without any chance to make it work, we paid developers to work on it but there is nothing to do...

Very poor customer service, the app created a whole bunch of errors, big mess. Will not use this app again.

The only thing I liked about the app was the prompt support. However, this could not compensate for the amount of headache we have had. The app turned itself off on its own. Then it would force the wrong variation into people's cart resulting in a lot of frustration, money loss for us and pricey returns. It requires a duplicate of SKU in order to work, which created total mess in out WMS system blocking dispatching. I would recommend to try and avoid using it if you can, or give yourself a month of testing, because our 18 days were not enough.

Do not recommend this app. App was not ready upon download. Had to give permission do developer to finish installation and then once fully installed customers were unable to use the checkout button on our store resulting in frustration and loss of sales. This was not fixed for hours after problem was noticed and we did not hear back from Secomapp for far too long after this occurred, only received auto generated emails until after our store had closed for the day. Would have been nice to talk to someone over the phone about our problems but no phone number can be found online. Using this app has brought me doubt to use any third party apps on Shopify.

We had the developer help install but it's still not working. When we drop the cart below the required amount to receive the free gift it stays in the cart even though the customer has spent less than the threshold.

I wish I could live ZERO stars; this is the worst app I have ever encountered; they added so much code to my theme and destroyed so much of my custom settings. I tried reaching out to customer service, and they reply every 24hrs like clockwork(for a single reply), so if you are in a bind, don't expect a response until the next day, by that time, you just lost a bunch of sales. If you are reading this and thinking about getting this app DONT if you already did and you are looking for help removing all their destructive code, email me > fuzz@wearefuzz.com > UPDATE: There should be a way to reply to their reply They did next to nothing to fix the issues. DONT USE THIS APP. Also, NOTE the "sparklingvision" review was posted the very next day I posted my one-star review. It's clearly a fake review, be less obvious.

Have used the app for many months but as a result someone called Luke Bendall has been able to fraudulently order our GWPs and only pay for the delivery never for any product. Last year it cost me £1000s as he was ordering 25 of each product and only ever paying for delivery. I don't how this has happened but it seems to be linked to how the app creates a 100% variant. I removed the app and this stopped but used it again for the first time this weekend and spotted an order from him again. Please beware, would hate for this to happen to someone else.

Slowed down my site pretty bad. I uninstalled after a few hours live and sales came back in right away

this app is terrible. I wanted to try it out but they only offer 24 HRS free trial!!! who does that?! all apps offer at least a 7-day trial.

Don't do it! Terrible customer support and non existante technical service. This is a joke, I had to wait 3 days and no help whatsoever! I am deleting this app and never going to do business with them ever again.

The app wasnt installed correctly by Secomapp guys, or just doesnt work. It caused us a real customer experience issues when the free gift wasnt shown as free to the customer. Also - there is no one to talk to. takes a lot of time to get back to customers. Very bad.

STOP SENDING US EMAILS, I RECEIVED MORE THAN 1500 EMAIL FROM YOU GUYS, YOU ARE ABUSING THE SYSTEM!!

***Update*** Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse... After 3 days of this app throwing errors and giving away free products, bum code being installed multiple times, generally destroying our store and us banging our heads against their support staff in vain attempts to get get thing fixed we told Secomapp to uninstall CAREFULLY. Guess what - they screwed that up too!! - we are now getting liquid errors and our store is broken. Save your Sanity, save your business DO NOT GO NEAR THIS COMPANY they are cowboys. Astounded that companies like this get to provide apps for businesses that are actually trading. Shopify, you need to vet your App suppliers much better. ** UPDATE* OMG Developer was sent screen shots of issues for the 7th time - yes, 7th time - still no joy, unbelievable. About to stick head in oven. DO NOT Install this APP! Experience has been an absolute nightmare, communications with the developer have been repeated 5 times now and still the app is not working correctly. After spending days tying to get this up and working correctly the developer left a test free gift on last night - my customers bought heaps of free product presented buy the faulty app. Still not fixed and our store is showing free variants still. During install (the second time) poor / broken code saw our store throwing random pricing errors for a day. Questions the developer multiple times and still do not have an answer. Our in house developer has been mopping up after this app for two days Communication is a nightmare The repeated back and forth is unbelievable - I am loosing the will to live. Do no touch this app with a barge pole.

The developers have been terrible. They pulled my most important item from my site and were completely incapable of getting this app to function properly on my website. They spent over a week leading me on that they could fix this and my item is still not on my site. Be careful with them. you never know what you will get and giving them access to your site opens you up to their mistakes.

I signed up for a free trial, and tried a small gift with purchase promotion. The app stopped working after a few hours of my sending out an email campaign, coincidentally, after installing the app, we received several phone calls that our website was not working, and when I contacted support, there was no response. Needless to say, we deleted the app and will not be continuing.

DOES NOT WORK! App would freeze up whenever we tried to edit settings and support was promotd but not helpful in resolving this.

Do not buy this app! Can't use it on Firefox by their own admission. Can't upload full collections for the gifts. Can't get a refund after 3 weeks. Horrible experience!!!
