Causes SERIOUS performance issues. I would avoid this app at all costs. can cause add to cart events to take over a MINUTE EasyGift monkey-patches window.fetch and XMLHttpRequest and intercepts every /cart/add and /cart/update to decide whether to add a gift. I pulled its script apart: before releasing your cart request, it loads its rules from its own backend (aca.506.io) — and that call has no timeout on the main path (one code path even swallows requests into a promise that never resolves). When EasyGift's backend has a bad window, every shopper's cart operations hang until the browser gives up (~60–80s), then the request finally dispatches and completes normally.

Hi BodySonicUS team, Nathan, the product manager of EG here. I have tried calling you multiple times and sent a few emails but have been unable to reach you to resolve this matter. The subscription charges are handled by Shopify - and the app's subscription fee is taken at the same time as your monthly Shopify plan payment. The records show you uninstalled it during the second month of use which correctly led to the second payment being charged for. This review shows the amount of time you used the app - you were installed for 2 months and were charged correctly for the duration of your usage. No more payments will be taken as the subscription ended when you uninstalled. I am happy to discuss this with you, feel free to reach out to us here: support@506.io Kind regards, Nathan
This app has caused us many many issues. Their glitches often result in not adding a gift or not removing the gift when customers remove products. Caused us having to manually edit lots of orders, wasted lots of our support team time, and the worst part is when we reached out to them, their support is cold and not caring at all, never tried to help resolve their own issues, only blamed us by saying that it's our own theme code that doesn't work and caused conflicts with this app. After changing to another app, all those problems were solved, then we realised that it's this app that doesn't work.

Hi there, Nathan here the product manager for EG. I have tried reaching out to someone in your team who raised a customer support request a while back but I haven’t heard back from them. I am disappointed to read about your experience with the app. I have checked through our support records and understand why you feel this way. We have made major improvements to our support flow and added more resources to our support and development teams as we realised it needed improvement. We’d be more than happy to assist in looking into the issue you have faced and look into a possible solution for this hiccup with EG if you’d like to use the app again. We’d love to turn this around and make EG work well for you. Let me know what you think. Best regards, Nathan
You need to create discounts in Shopify. The application applies them automatically. It is not comfortable. For example, the buyer has a promo code for a 10% discount and he will not be able to receive a gift

I'd greatly appreciate any feedback you have about the app now and why you've decided to use EG again. Feel free to email me: nathan@fiftypoint6.com Kind regards, Nathan Product Manager of EasyGift 16 June 2022 reply: Hey there, I apologise that you have faced this issue with EasyGift - we have made an effort to highlight that a method of discounting needs to be used to make the item free. I have emailed you about your grievance and have suggested a solution for you and hope this can make it right. Please get in touch with: services@fiftypoint6.com if you have not received this email and I can explain the solution we have. Kind regards, Nathan Product Manager of EasyGift
I used this app specifically so that it would add a product and a discount to the cart for a send X get Y Free promotion. The app's description said that it would do this and had the features to do this, but never worked. When I contacted Customer support, I found them to be rude and unhelpful. I deleted the app after 2 days and would never recommend this app unless you're a competitor. of mine.
