Updating my previous review made on June 6, 2016 . . . I’ve had a five-star rating up for this app since i downloaded it over 10 years ago. I’ve updated the review and downgraded the rating to only one star - as low as the rating system allow. Not even deserving of 1 star in my experience over the last year. This app has cost us a lot of lost business and lost time trying to recover business this app has made a mess of. In 2016, the app worked perfectly. If there was ever an issue I was easily able to contact Justin, the cofounder of the original company. Fast forward to today and this has been the most expensive app we have had in our 10-year Shopify history in terms of lost sales and productivity. Countless thousands of dollars. With increasing frequency, orders have come through that only specify the fabric selected - with no information on the product page about the related customizations. This leaves us a task to contact the customer. Recently, installed customization options would spontaneously disappear from related fabrics. We would find out when customers would start emailing us "how can I order this custom item when it just shows a fabric and an ADD TO CART button? No place to enter size, length, etc." We tried countless times to reattach them, and they would eventually disappear again. Hundreds of our man hours lost on this glitch alone. We're done with this app. Their "team" cannot figure it out or fix it. For years now. Only getting worse. We have finally fully migrated to a new customization app that is much more modern, intuitive and trouble free.
This is the worst experience I’ve ever had. For 2 weeks, my business has been paralyzed because customization data fails to reflect in the cart and checkout. I am currently unable to switch to my new theme because of this app, and even worse, it has now stopped working on my current theme as well. They solved this exact same issue 8 months ago, so they know the solution, yet now they are constantly blaming the theme and refusing to take any responsibility. I’ve sent 6-7 emails every single day for 2 weeks with zero results. They keep passing the buck instead of fixing their own integration. If you value your business and your sanity, stay away. Completely unprofessional and unreliable!

Friends at Rou Collection, I am sorry that your experience has been so frustrating. The root problem causing this issue is incompatibility with the bundle/cart drawer app you are using. It thwarts data being sent from product page to to cart and then into the checkout. We may have been able to "fix" a similar issue 8 months ago, but this current cause of the current issue is not something our app can fix. Only the theme developer or alternate app developer can modify the theme code that must be modified to fix this issue. Here are details about what we've done, and to pass to your developer: ------------------ The problem happening with file upload not going to the cart and the add to cart button not working when file uploads exist on the page are two separate issues that have nothing to do with our app. Here is a technical breakdown of each issue affecting both the live theme and the new theme he is working on. 1. Current live theme issue (bundle/cart drawer app) The upcart-bundle.js script calls JSON.stringify({ items: n }) when sending the cart request. This converts the n object to a string, removing File objects from uploads, so customization data never reaches the cart. A similar issue occurred eight months ago; we provided guidance then, but the resolution had to be applied on the theme side. 2. Broadcast theme issue (new theme setup) The Broadcast theme includes code that explicitly prevents form submission whenever a file input exists: if (form !== null && form.querySelector('[type="file"]')) { return; } This causes the Add to Cart button to stop working when a customer selects a file. Our developers applied the proper fix in a copy of the Broadcast theme, where customization data, including uploads, worked correctly, showing that the app functions properly when the theme allows it. We also sent collaborator requests, provided step-by-step guidance, and scheduled a meeting with your theme developers to implement the fix, but it was not attended. Both issues are external to our app. Once the necessary changes are applied, the current issue will be resolved. ------------------ Thank you for your understanding. Sean H, Ops Manager, Product Customizer
hard to use and costs too much

Hi Swoon Living, Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're thrilled to receive your positive feedback. Thanks for choosing us!
The files are not visible. I can't see the changes I made and I'm having a hard time.
Developer reply ·
Thanks for your feedback. We couldn’t find any support request from you regarding this issue. In most cases, file visibility problems are caused by theme-related issue. If you reach out to our support team, we’ll be happy to check this for you and help resolve it as quickly as possible.
We have been a Product Customizer client/user over 8 years now. Our entire business is based on custom names, addresses, graphics, etc. to laser engrave and embroider on a wide variety of luggage and equipment tags. Two years ago, we gave this app the 5 star review you can read below. However, in the past year we have had multiple issues with the app not processing our customers personalization options. This is a huge issue as it give our customers a negative view of our brand. I have now changed my review to 1 star as I have lost all trust in this app. While the app ultimately starts to work again, the team can not ever tell me what the root cause is for the issue. Today, it happened again. This is unacceptable. MY OLD REVIEW: In those 8 years, we have only had to reach out 3 times, the latest happened this weekend when we updated our store theme to the latest version. The team quickly responded with a solution and stayed in communication the whole time - allowing us to test and publish our update. Highly recommend! Thank you for the many years of great customer support.

Hello to our friends from YourBagTag, We really appreciate this awesome review!, thank you for your continued support! Thanks also for the kudos for our customer service, we will definitely let Steven know his assistance was greatly appreciated. We hope your store is super-successful online!. -Melissa & The Product Options and Customizer Support Team
de un momento a otro dejo de funcionar por completo la app. y eso que pago la version de 8.90 me toco desinstalar esto.
UPDATE 4/15/25 I have to say, over the years we have worked through many ups and downs with the Dev team at PC. This app is not what it used to be. I am not sure if the App sold or just got rid of all the original developers that could do quick fixes in minutes but recently we have experienced more and more glitches compared to past years using PC. Previously although inconvenient the old team at PC was super responsive and fixed things right away. Today when we were getting help from the Product Customizer team on a glitch that was happening with 1 of our 30+ Customizable products the attempted fix instead removed all our customizer options on our site, we let them know right away and since have emailed for help multiple times and nobody has gotten back to us so currently our site is not usable to order on, and we have a loss of income as well as frustrated customers. After years of recommending this at this current level of service I cannot stand behind our previous years of 4 and 5 star reviews. UPDATE 12/3/2024 Experienced a glitch with recent PC update that was launched affecting our sales during busy Holiday sales season but through the chat they fixed super fast thank YOU!!! Wish they sent a note to users when they plan to do an update instead of us just randomly finding out when customers cant order. UPDATE 10/24/2024 Multiple - Outages and issues - customizations not consistently working, customers operating from multiple browsers having issues. Was told that we needed to update the Shopify Theme we use so we did and with some help from the PC Dev Team (Aman) it is now working UPDATE 3/29/2024 We had a brief outage and Deep and team were quick to address it and get the issue resolved. They had it resolved within Half Hour. They responded to my initial email within minutes. Really appreciate this team. Initial Review 5/2015 The customer service support offer by Kevon and Aman has been top-notch. They are usually pretty on it both in terms of response time and ability to make small changes within the app. The only reason for not full five star- some of the features of the app seem to work intermittently and is very glitchy, this has cost us heavily in terms of sales when the customizer is down.

Unreliable App – Causing Significant Business Losses I’ve been using the "Product Customizer" app for some time, and unfortunately, I’ve faced numerous issues that have seriously impacted my business. Most recently, the app completely stopped allowing customers to add products with file uploads to their cart, which has caused a major loss in sales since this morning. This is a key feature for my store, and when it doesn’t work, it directly affects my revenue and customer experience. This isn't the first issue I've experienced. Previous bugs with the app have also disrupted my business, and while support has been responsive in the past, the frequency and severity of these bugs have made it difficult to rely on the app for consistent performance. As a business owner, I depend on reliable tools, and these ongoing problems have made it challenging to trust this app. I hope that future updates will address these issues, but based on my experience, I cannot recommend this app to other store owners who need reliable customization functionality.

Shugis, Thank you so much for sharing this review. I’m very sorry about the trouble you’ve encountered with our app and the impact it’s had on your business. I completely understand how frustrating and disruptive this situation would be for your orders. We provide a file upload field and it needs to work 100% of the time. We have since resolved this issue and a couple of others - they were temporarily caused by a migration to new servers and UI that will make our app faster and more reliable into the future. But the issue is fixed and file upload data should carry through to orders now like normal. I really appreciate your understanding, and I will email you directly as well from here.
Simply needs to be banned from the store. its buggy. service is one of the worst I've come across.

Hi Deadman's Beard Co. Team, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear about the trouble you’ve experienced with our app and the impact it’s had on your orders. We understand how frustrating this must be. We had a rare issue on July 29th that caused some disruptions, but our team jumped on it right away, and everything has been running smoothly since then. We’ve also added new measures to prevent this kind of problem from happening again. Your patience and understanding mean a lot to us. We know how crucial it is for your store to run smoothly, and we’re truly here for you. Warmest regards, Cristal Tech Support Manager
ALL Shopify users, HORRIBLE! and SACAM Been with them for 8 years and they started an $99 for a plan (no other app as at that point) They switched for a $24 a plan (Not idea how long ago) Most likely years ago.... Never told our company, been charging us $99 a month for 8 years when they have a plan (That we use for $24) We are not in the business of watching is an app changed a plan for a fraction...If you are a customer since they started, is just common sense to let us know. They agree to return $300 ... make the math at $99 a month for 7-8 years... NOPE No one will answer just someone called AMAN, no phone calls, no managers NOTHING. After a month of e mails back and forth they just charge again $99 on June 27th. No solution. And actually, the app is not even working on my website that's been 11 years in business. DO NOT GET THIS APP Plenty of others more reliable. Amanda from Shopsabs2b.com You can e mail me if you want to see all e mails with AMAN with NO solution and Thousands of $ to them. ceo@shopabs2b.com Thank you guys and e mail me.

Hi Amanda, We truly regret any frustration you’ve experienced and apologize for the misunderstanding regarding your subscription plan. You were charged according to the original plan you selected, and we only recently lowered our plan prices. The recent charge happened because the subscription change was not fully completed, and we didn't receive further instructions on how you'd like to proceed, despite our multiple attempts to assist you. We're pleased to inform you that the last charge has been refunded today. Our support team has reached out to you again to schedule a call to resolve this matter, and we're looking forward to your response. Thank you for your patience, and we’re committed to finding a solution that works for you. Warm regards, The Support Team
This app constantly crashes, you have to check it everyday to ensure its options are working. Today noticed options were missing, clicked on app, it had an update of the app. App updated and now I can't see any of my account information. Page comes up blank. Been waiting on support response all day. Customers cannot check out due to issues on the listing not showing. it's good when it does decide to work. but the inconsistency is truly getting annoying.

Hi JAS CRAFT CREATIONS, We are aware that you are experiencing an issue where product options seem to be getting duplicated when creating new products. Unfortunately, we have not been able to replicate the issue yet. Our team will be reaching out to you shortly to arrange a meeting so that we can observe the issue and troubleshoot it with you in real-time. Regarding the issue with the email associated with your account, this typically comes from the email associated with your Shopify account, which we cannot alter. We were able to manually update your email address in our system to rectify this, but we still recommend that you doublecheck Shopify to ensure that the correct information is there as well. We're sorry for the inconvenience this has caused and are determined to make this right for you. Update 1/30/2024: The problem you are experiencing is due to duplicating a product. When you do this, all of the options show up on the duplicated product. In order to get past this, you will have to create a new product instead of duplicating. We attempted to meet with you regarding your concerns and you did not want to get on a Zoom call. A representative of our team has also sent you an email. We are going to be attempting to have a call with you within the next 24 hours to assist you. We would appreciate being able to walk with you through everything that you need.
I'm currently using Premium Customizer for $29.90/month. They do have WhatsApp support. However, the app only functions correctly if the theme is set to direct customers to the cart page when they add products to their cart. I offer an option where customers can choose to either view the cart or continue shopping after adding an item. I’ve spent over 10 hours creating these options and products, but when I check the cart, it incorrectly shows a total of $1,878,800.00 and support hasn't been able to fix this issue. The only solution is to configure is to have the cart button to redirect to the cart page immediately after a customer adds a product, which will decrease the sale conversion, I just wanted to have +100 variant option for few of my products but I'm gonna have to use a different app. Don't waste your time if you don't want this option. Although they helped me on support very well through Whatsapp.

Hi Chalet Et Ceci, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're sorry to hear about the issues you've encountered with the cart functionality and the frustration it has caused. While we're glad our support team was helpful via WhatsApp, we understand that the solution provided is not ideal for your business. Your input is valuable, and we will continue to work on improving our app to better serve merchants who use our customization charge pricing and AJAX carts together. Thank you so much for sharing this helpful feedback with us!
Your app has been frequently experiencing errors recently. This is the third time it has malfunctioned. The support team does not seem to understand the issue, even though I have explained it in detail. The chat window was closed before our conversation was concluded
Developer reply ·
Hi ChipteeAmz, We are sorry you are experiencing issues with our application. We have found that when you are using Pagefly with our app without doing an integration, all files do not get pulled over, hence the problems you experienced. The same is true if you happen to change the theme, integration must be done. The Product Options & Customizer Team
This app killed my website. Please do not use. For a second time, as soon as I ran the setup wizard, this app disabled the add to cart button. The first time they fixed it within about an hour, the second time they couldn't fix it and blamed shopify. Please do not use this app. This has severely impacted my business.
Developer reply ·
Hi Sup Drinkware, We’re sorry that you have had difficulties with our application, however we want to reiterate that the problem you’ve encountered was not due to any malfunction of our application. The root cause of the issue was that the cart drawer was disabled on the theme settings. We cannot determine who made this change, but our setup wizard does not touch this aspect of configuration.
Not Good Customer Service. I have a problem with the theme but I have been waiting for more than 1 week and no one has solved it
Developer reply ·
Hi Style My Pride, We’re very sorry that it is taking so long to resolve the issue with your theme. This is not representative of the customer service that we intend to provide and we are committed to resolving this for you. The specific theme that you are using has Ajax components that omits data from the cart. There is a potential fix that we can implement, but we will need to work with your theme developer. We are reaching out to you to coordinate a meeting with your theme developer so that we can jointly determine a resolution for the issue. Stephanie and the Customer Support Team
Very buggy..several issues with loading, app doesnt work from time to time. No solutions for simple issues.

Hello to our friends at My Baby Babbles Thank you very much for leaving us this feedback. This is Tanu, the Customer Success Manager with Product Customizer. I want to extend my sincerest apologies for the negative experience that you had with our app. I understand your frustration and we are so sorry about what happened here (It is not at all normal with our app.) We do appreciate your honest feedback, it provides us an opportunity to make things even better for you and other merchants going forward, with that being said we would love the opportunity to work with you to find a solution reach out to us at support@productcustomizer.com Tanu & The Product Customizer Support Team
I have been using Product Customizer for about 4 years. It started as a great app, but the functionality and customer service have declined significantly. I have had multiple issues with the app in just the last 6 weeks - from color and image swatches not displaying to the more serious issue of none of the product options displaying and customers not being able to place orders on my site. I am very tech-savvy and I find the app cumbersome to use. If you have just one option per product, you should be fine. If you are looking to do anything more complex than that I do not recommend this app at all. It took 5 weeks to get a resolution to the issue of the color swatches not showing. I would contact them weekly for an update and I was repeatedly ignored. Yesterday, the conditional logic stopped working on an entire collection of products. It has been over 24 hours and they have not responded or resolved the issue. I am losing sales and multiple customers have contacted me because they are unable to place an order on my site. Additionally, my site speed has decreased from 46 to 22 because of this app. For an app that costs MORE than Shopify itself, I expect much better performance and service. I would have ditched this app long ago but I have hundreds of products and I do not yet have the time to research and install a new option.
Horrible customer service. Went back and forth with "support team" for over a week for what should be a 5 minute fix. Kept getting passed back and forth between departments. Asked for a call or live chat option instead of email, and was provided with none. Would not recommend, many better options available out there.

Not sure if the 5 star reviews are paid, but the app is buggy and we cant tell which orders have selected flavours. And that affected our operation in terms of packing. We contacted the support but the response is slow and kept saying will check with development. But no news so far. For an app at this price we expected better supported and quality.I have to keep chasing for a response when the team should have gotten back on their own.

Hello to our friends at NestBloom Thank you very much for leaving us this feedback. This is Pushpesh, the Customer Success Manager with Product Customizer. I am sorry to hear that the app did not work perfectly on your store. We regret that we were not able to provide you with a good app experience. I'm VERY sorry about this, it is not at all what we aim for.

If you are open to trying the app again, please let me know and I will arrange for our best developers to look into your case ASAP. We also love to offer complimentary live screen-share calls to all our valued clients where we can talk you through the whole process and make double-sure our app is playing well with your theme.

We love the product customizer app. It works perfectly for our store and is at a great price point. Kevon from their customer service department is top notch and has went out of his way on a Saturday to help us with complicated code that was needed for our theme for our website to run properly. Highly recommend this app. Thank you Kevon! You're the best :) Update: We had multiple glitches over and over with this app. We lost hundred of dollars from the app not charging orders as expected. Even after speaking with customer service multiple times in one day, the app still failed. I would use caution adding this app to your store.

the selections are not loading, very unsatisfied with the customer service - they are never accountable to any issues happening between the app & shopify.

Hello to our friends at ByDaile Thank you very much for leaving us this feedback. This is Pushpesh, the Customer Success Manager with Product Customizer. I want to extend my sincerest apologies for the negative experience that you had with our customer service. I understand your frustration and want to assure you that the issue is at Shopify's end which is causing your selections to not load on the cart page. To be honest, there is very little we can do apart from following up with Shopify in this particular case. I acknowledge that this could have been handled better and we are going to take corrective steps to ensure that this does not happen again.

Be weary of all the positive reviews. We asked for help to implement and our cart page was stuck on a reload loop all day without our knowledge. Menu on cart page also stopped working and now we have other issues on our website even after deleting the app.

I have used this app for several years and it worked well and I would have previously given it 4 stars. However I recently upgraded to a 2.0 shopify theme and the app stopped working. The developer was initially quick to respond and managed to get the theme working on chrome - although it was rather glitchy and wasn't a great customer experience at checkout. They couldn't get it to work at all on Safari or on mobile and that was it really! After not hearing from them for a week or so I deleted the app and found one with more features, that works, and is half the price.

Worst shopify app experience ever! So many bugs, poor (no sorry very poor) customer support. Didn't manage to fix simple issues within the first few days. If they went higher up the chain to Kevon he could fix the issues, but then new issues would pop-up instantly. There are much cheaper alternatives available ... I recommend they fix their first line support first..because with these default mails they sent the communication is very poor and often misunderstood. Very frustrating experience! Update 05/10/2021: I got a follow up from Pushpesh to check the things again, based on my bad review. Since I already looked into an alternative I'm not going through with that, but others might. So in all honesty they are responsive, I just wish (especially when on a tight deadline) that this kind of urgency would be earlier in the process and not only after a 1 star review.

We regret that we were not able to provide you a good experience with the app. I'm VERY sorry about this, it is not at all what we aim for. Would you be open to give us a chance to try this again? I can personally make sure you are 100% taken care of and get our BEST developers to get it right for your store's theme right away. Please let me know if I can help you with that? Again I'm very sorry about your experience. Regards, Pushpesh & the Product Customizer Support Team
The app regularly fails and does not charge clients for customized purchases. We have lost nearly $2,000 in sales in the past 5 days due to the app failing to work properly. I wouldn't recommend this app.
I cannot downgrade or delete the app, even I clear all the options. The app still has the error codes that I need to clear the option

I couldn't get their "wizard" to actually work correctly. After going round and round providing the same information multiple times, their support completely stopped corresponding with me. I guess if they thought if they ignored me, the issue would just go away. Terrible experience.

We're very sorry about the experience here and this is definitely not what we'd want you to have with our app. The Wizard is not perfect however it runs seamlessly on over 500 stores since its release with the exception of some themes that were custom/modified. We'd like to work on the issue and walk you through the Wizard via Live Chat or a Web Call as soon as possible. I have emailed you so you can reach out as soon as you're able to. Thanks!
After removing the App it's still there on my Theme code causing conflict with the New App that i have install on my shop, have contact the DEV team for solution to Remove Completely their App form my Store. Still waiting their response....

Hello again friends from EUG Fashion! Just a friendly followup to make sure your issue is resolved? We did respond and fixed the code the same day you emailed us and posted this review. We are always here to help, no matter what... Would still love for you to remove this review? Would be much appreciated! Sean and The Product Customizer Team ************** Reply June 8: Happy Monday! Friendly followup to make double-sure that you are taken care of now? We did revert your theme's coding to the original 2 days ago (the same day you emailed us about this). Should be fixed, we're always happy to do that! If you're good to go now, we'd love it if you could remove that 1-star review you left for our app... it REALLY hurts us to get even 1 of those :( Please let me know what else I can do for you. Here to help... Sean H & The Product Customizer Team
The app claimed to do what I needed, however the software didn't work properly and consistently and their customer service failed to help after repeated requests over a two week period. I will update this review should they decide to remedy this.

Hello to our friends with Heinrichs Jewelry, Sean here, the Customer Success Manager with Product Customizer. I just reviewed the convos and it looks like from May 21 - May 24, we left you hanging. I'm SO sorry about that. Obviously we have some work to do at this point with our support team so that we aren't losing track of these conversations. That is not the way we want to do business, and it wasn't intentional. I will be doing what needs to be done to make sure that doesn't happen to any of our valued clients in the future. That said, I now have our tier 1 developer looking into this for you to try and get to the bottom of it and get it finally resolved. First off, he is doing an inventory "refresh" on your store right now, which will take a few of hours (sometimes up to 12) to complete. Let's see how that does, then re-check later this afternoon. I am in Denver (12:22pm MST my time presently)... so I'll be here. And Ainsley will be here for the next 6-7 hours... and I am back in first thing tomorrow mornings, so doing everything in our power to get this fully fixed for you asap. Thanks again for your understanding. I feel terrible that we left you hanging. Stay tuned for another email from us in a few hours if you would... Sean H
We would not recommend using Product Customizer if you need to add options that cost the customer extra. The app has a serious glitch that causes those charges to stick around in the cart even after a customer removes the associated product from their cart. The issue has persisted for months, and the developers have been unable to fix the problem. (Communication on the status of the efforts to resolve the glitch was also very spotty, which just made it more frustrating.) We ended up finding another solution -- for us, that was using Shopify's variants feature -- because the app was costing us too much money in lost sales. It was also a nightmare for our customer service team. Hate to leave a bad review as the idea of the app is great, and the conditional logic feature is one we haven't found elsewhere. But ultimately we'd recommend finding a different solution -- Product Customizer just isn't up to our standards.

Hello! This is Sean, the Customer Success Manager for Product Customizer. We took over this app from the previous owner :) You left a negative review for Product Customizer a long time ago and I am emailing to see if you wouldn’t mind removing it (or adding more stars)? We have already made several improvements and fixes to past issues with this app - and it REALLY helps our ranking on the App Store if we can remove the handful of negative reviews. Please let me know how I can support you and help in return? I appreciate it very much! -Sean & the Product Customizer Team ------------------------------ Previous reply: Friends from KMM, This is Sean, the Customer Success manager here. Our apologies that our app caused this persistent issue with your store's theme. In rare cases a theme is just too custom for us to find a fix, but that is very rare indeed. Thanks for giving us a chance and I'm sorry it wasn't all you hope it would be! If there is ever anything we can do for you to help redeem your experience (if and when you change your theme in the future) please do let us know. We try our hardest to solve 100% of client issues, and it really bums us out when one can't be resolved. Thanks for your communication.
Im sure the app is fine but the customer service is terrible. Two weeks without a reply and my store has had to be closed the entire time. These guys have cost me afortune and cannot be relied upon if your business needs custom options.

This is Sean, the Customer Success manager. Your issue was extremely unique, and required developer help to fix. This is NOT normal for users of our app, so our sincerest apologies that you experienced that. Bottom line, with any developer issues, the client always has the option to uninstall the app, or use a good workaround temporarily until the fix is done... I had hoped our dev team would get to the bottom of your issue within a week, but sometimes it takes them a couple of weeks with a very unique and abnormal issue like this one. I have followed up with our team and they should have the fix done in the next couple of business days (crossing fingers!). Still here to help in the ways that we can, and even when it takes big $$ to our dev team to fix, we do get it done - just don't have a lot of control over the time frame with custom fixes. Thanks for your understanding! I'll email you as soon as this is ready of course...
This app is worth more than 1 star to me (would give it maybe 2-3), but there are some really serious issues. I hope that this review would either work as a wake-up call to the developers, or help other developers create better competing apps. If you're not good with computers and figuring out workarounds to software bugs, do not bother trying to use the conditional logic feature of this app. In short, the app promises conditional logic, but there are a TON of bugs. I've worked with computers my whole life, so I know a bug when I encounter one. And with this app, I experience them all the time. That wouldn't be the end of the world if the developers were responsive, but they've outsourced the support... and the outsourced support can only handle pre-defined cases, not do any research of their own. I've had a lot of questions / bug reports open with them for a month now. They always promise to get back to me, but without dev support, they can't. I would have given up on this app because of these bugs, but as far as I understand, this is the only app that runs only on Shopify servers, and is probably the fastest. The others I tested seemed to be slow and unreliable, so that's a definite bonus with this app. If only it did what it promises, I could give it five stars... but right now the practice is so far off from theory, that I'm definitely not happy. I've been able to get my products configured so they are somewhat usable, but it's come with a lot of workarounds, redesign and just making unnecessary compromises to the customer experience. With the promised conditional logic, it would be totally possible to prevent customers from selecting options that don't work with each other. Because of the constant bugs, I haven't been able to really do this, and have to instruct the customers to check this and that... and if they don't, the products get priced wrong. These kinds of things shouldn't be left up to the customer! The documentation on the conditional logic is very poor, so I'll give some tips for those of you that value the speed of this app over other apps (if I was doing this again, I would forget about the speed requirement). 1. If you have options measured in feet, don't use the ' character in the name. Bugs will result. 2. If you need to duplicate the options, don't do it in the product view. It may create weird issues, so only duplicate in the view that shows options for all products. 3. Don't plan options that depend on two or more other options. The logic only works on very simple options, and if (for example) your pricing depends on two different factors, you're safer not implementing it in the app logic... it may or may not work. 4. Same thing as with #3, but with trying to use the same option on two different conditions, combining with different option... won't work. 5. Undocumented "feature" that made me lose a couple of days: the "hide" option is more or less redundant. The app automatically hides all the options that have "show" setting on. Trying to hide options results in weird bugs. It was not easy to figure this out, and the support was clueless. 6. There's just a long list of lesser bugs, usability issues and generally bad development work. Please look into alternatives. Overall I must say I regret I chose this app. It is not being actively developed, even though it would really need that. I've now created over a hundred options and about 10 products in this app, and changing to a new one feels like too much work... I wish I'd known about these bugs and extremely limited support before choosing this app.

I appreciate it very much! -Sean & the Product Customizer Team ------------------------------ Previous reply: Hello friends from Divine Saunas. Thanks VERY much for taking the time to give all this valuable feedback. I am so sorry that the app ended up having several limitations that made it not the best choice for your store. I am taking these items and putting them into our list of improvements that our developers will be looking into in the near future. Shopify store themes are all so varied and unique that it can be a real challenge to develop apps that are truly versatile for the Shopify space. Up until now, we have done several things with every single store that adds our app: -Every time a user adds our app, our team manually verifies and configures their install to make sure it works seamlessly with whatever theme they have -Each time any of our users change their theme, we receive a real-time notification and we take time to manually re-verify their install for their new theme -And of course, anytime there are questions about functionality, support needs, special formatting requests, advice on how to build out products, etc - we take each one seriously and do our very best to resolve any issues and provide any needed help That said, we will look into these concerns and work to turn them into fixes! Again, thanks for your patience and understanding with these items - the app will get better and better! And we would love it if you would change your review to the 2-3 stars you mentioned. We are definitely worth that ;) Thanks again!
App didn't work for my theme even after me going into the code and manually entering it. I uninstalled the app and got a message as to why I did I told them what the issue was and they told me to reinstall and they would do the coding them self and give me a free month. I don't care about the month obviously I paid the price the first time I just need a product that works. I responded to the email and got automated response that basically said Hi thanks for installing we've looked at your code and looks like everything is functioning properly let us know if you need anything... I then respond is this a bot and a rep named Sean answered no this is not a bot... but the later explains to me that it was an automated message(aka a bot!!) after me explaining my frustration on the situation not being handled. The conversation went back and forth about petty details that kinda shifted blame from them to me instead of this guy looking at our conversation thread and coming up with a solution to my existing problem. Needless to say its not a big deal to some but to me this was a very bad experience when I already had uninstalled the app and moved on and they asked to make it right but I still don't have a working product a week later because I'm spending 20-30mins of my time explaining irrelevant details with Sean. I'm glad I know how to problem solve and created my options through the existing product variables that comes with shopify as a temporary fix or I would have been scrambling because Sean don't know how to do his job correctly. Hope This saves someone else the headache. My shop is dksuitcity.shop so the users know this is a real person. Hope this isn't to wordy. I tried to skip a few things that are unimportant to my point.

The app is great when it will actually load. I find 9/10 times when trying to open the app it now goes to a blank page and I can't customize any products. Really annoying.

Code screwed up my site by automatically adding extra charges to cart and it took days for them to respond. Never fully fixed the issue or offered an explanation.

It's a really crappy app. I'm not sure what's up with all these good reviews. I never write reviews, but I felt that this was justified. In theory, it sounds great. In practice, it's total junk and their support is horrific. They take 3 to 5 days to respond and they have no sense of urgency. App does not work as it should nor does it do what it claims. Their demo page is sketchy because they're using a custom checkout page. It will not work the same on your shop unless you have Shopify Plus. Even then, you will still have inventory management issues because of the way the options are added. Not going to go into details here, it's nor worth my time. Save yourself the headache, trust me. Ah, and removing was a PIA, it leaves a huge mess behind. Pass.

App was not working properly and I waited 5 days with no reply to emails from support and have had to delete the app. I do not recommend it and have found an easier to use app.

Product customizer worked ok. At first I got it to add text boxes to some products and eventually set it up to extend the options I offered in my store. They are usually pretty fast on replying about questions or problems, but when I finally decided to remove it from my store because the integration was messy and confusing to my customers and myself I had a big problem. Before I deleted anything, I asked them if my website would work as it did before the install when I deleted the app. They assured me it would and I went ahead and deleted the app. The next morning I began to get emails from customers telling me there was a problem with the CHECKOUT on my website. I am not sure how much money this problem caused me for the half a day it was unresolved, but it is a lot more than the service they have provided. I sent them an email asking for help and no one got back to me. Is this because now I was a non paying customer? In a last ditch effort, I contacted shopify help and they were able to go in and clean up the mess they did on my site after about 20 or 30 minutes. If you value your business, do not have them modify your website. The integration they do is messy and unappealing.
