This app does not work. I don't really understand why and I've spent so much time troubleshooting it. Life must go on!

Counter keeps resetting to 1 after I've entered our actual order total during set-up. I don't recommend buying one of these counters, they're utter rubbish.

Why does it take orders away from my counter at random and also when I refund an item in an order it discounts the order I'm not refunding the whole order just 1 item. doesn't make sense. I hate it.

Hi there, Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear you've had a frustrating experience, we want to make sure we clear a couple of things up for you. Regarding the partial refund behaviour: when a refund is issued on any item within an order, this will remove the order from the counter count entirely. We understand this may feel unexpected, but this is actually intended logic within the app — as a refund signals that the order was not fully completed as placed. We appreciate that this may not be the behaviour everyone expects, and we're sorry for any confusion. As for the random order removal you're experiencing, this is something we'd love to look into further as it is not expected behaviour. Please reach out to us at supply@shopify.com so our team can investigate your specific setup and get this sorted for you as quickly as possible. Thank you again for taking the time to leave your feedback.

Terrible. Has worked fine in the past (even though it randomly spazzes out and cycles through every number in every reel from time to time). Two days ago it just stopped reporting numbers, then it cycled through all the numbers repeatedly and was blank slots in each position. Unplugged and plugged in, still does nothing. Now Shopify "apps" section just gives an error message. Believe all the one-star and complaint reviews on here.

Hi there, Thank you for your feedback, and we're truly sorry to hear your device has stopped working, especially after it had been functioning well previously. The cycling, blank display, and the error message you're seeing in the Shopify apps section are all things we want to look into right away. Please reach out to us directly at supply@shopify.com and our team will prioritize getting to the bottom of this for you as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and want to get you back up and running.

Should have paid attention to the negative reviews. Received 1/13. Today is 2/22. I've had nothing but problems with this thing. On too many times to count, it randomly shuffles numbers. It will go back to the original number but on several occasions it doesn't. All the numbers will shuffle, each column by itself, twice. Then it will land on all lines as the first number. If you unplug and turn it back on 10 minutes later. Nothing. If you do that an an hour later. Nothing. You have to unplug the thing and leave it off, unplugged for a few days, and only then does it reset. Shameful there are no refunds on this thing. Waste of money.

Hi there, Thank you for sharing your experience, and we sincerely apologize for the issues you've encountered — we completely understand how frustrating this must be, especially after having the device for over a month. The shuffling and resetting behaviour you're describing is absolutely not the experience we want for our customers, and we're sorry it's taken so much troubleshooting on your end.

We were asked by shopify to upgrade to this app: "We notified you via email to install the new Shopify Counter App to improve functionality and create a more seamless experience. As a result, the original app will now officially sunset on March 1, 2026 and will no longer work after that date." Unfortunate the new app is as bad or even worse than the previous app. It's impossible to show the number we want. We are on Shopify+ and would like to show consolidated turnover of our 2 stores. Would love to connect the app to a custom shopify report, next select the number we want to send to smiirl

Developer reply ·

Hi there, It is not currently possible to consolidate data across multiple stores and connect to a custom Shopify report; however, we are always exploring ways to improve the future of our App. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear the transition hasn't met your expectations. If you are having challenges with your Shopify Counter, please feel free to reach out to supply@shopify.com and a representative would be happy to assist you in troubleshooting further. Thank you again for your patience and for being a valued Shopify merchant.

Brand new, out of the box and I think it's possessed. I chose total sales, it jumps to 10. I've had 1, so where the heck does 10 come from?! I put it on last order number and it's correct at 1001. Just sitting here trying to figure things out and the possessed box jumps from 10 to 20. Uh...? I thought this would be a neat way to celebrate sales. Maybe I'll need to write my own code to use Smiirl's API. Such a disappointment after being excited for this to arrive.

It doesn’t work. It completely ignored the settings I configured for the counter and kept counting up, even when I hadn’t received any orders. I tried reaching out to Shopify support, since it’s listed as their app, but the AI bot wouldn’t log the bug or connect me to a real person. So I went back to the old counter app, which seems to be working for now. https://apps.shopify.com/counter?locale=sv

The app doesn't reset the counter when the time hits 0:00. It just keeps adding numbers - The work-around is to load the app daily and change a setting for the numbers to update correctly.

I'm having the same issues as everyone else, the old app worked great. This new one is a pain. Every 1 order the counter goes up by 2. I have to reset it everyday. And it keeps flipping randomly throughout the day. Disappointed, I've had the counter for a year now and never had issues until now.

I own 4 Shopify counters, 3 using the old app (works well) and 1 using the new (doesn't work at all). Shopify refuse to let you use the old app, so you're forced to use the new app which doesn't work. Check the other reviews, it's not worth buying the counter at the moment.

It doesn't work, as others have stated. The main issue is that it does not reset at the end of the day. Seems like such a simple fix, yet Shopify doesn't care to fix it. Insane.

The counter became useless after Shopify forced us to update the app. 1- The app don't reset when the watch hits 0:00, it just keeps adding numbers 2- We configured the numbers to exclude unpaid orders, but they are still being counted 3- Random ups and downs in the day 4- Refunds are not being counted. So if you sell $1,000 but refund $2,000, the app would still show you've sold $1,000 5- And the more important thing: WE CAN'T GO BACK to the old App, they removed it from the Shopify App Store. If you have the Counter and are requested to update it: DON'T DO IT!

Should have kept the old app. I have to refresh the count daily. It has made the counter useless.

This new version of the app does not work. First the number was wrong and now the number on the counter keeps going up by 2 for every one sale. The old app was so great, I just set it and forgot about it and it worked!

Ever since the new app dropped, the counter is ALWAYS incorrect. Whenever I get an order, the counter value decreases. I have to manually update it EVERY time. Which was not my expectation when I purchased the counter.

Doesn't work, updated as the old app stated I should. Filled out the counter and token ID correctly, now the new app won't save the settings and has effectively bricked my counter. - edit - finally got this to work by completely uninstalling the app in Shopify and starting again. The interesting thing is it started to work after I put the name of the counter in the Shopify app different to what it's called on the Smiirl webpage. Maybe that did the trick, maybe it didn't.

Gave up on it. Our counter is not that important to waste time trying to install the app. Can not easily find the "Counter ID" and "Counter Token". The app locks up in Safari and won't go section to section. It is very lagging. Never did install it. I have more important things to do. The counter was fun but this new app is not good.

No clear instructions on where the token can be found on Smiirl. So after some searching and using help I found it. Only to run into continuous errors on this app when trying to save the settings. Does not work.

Sucks! The old app started bugging out ever since they introduced this app. I installed this one and now my counter no longer works because they are using the token instead of the JSON URL. FIX THIS OR I WILL CHARGEBACK THE COUNTER.
