There is an issue with the prices displayed on the cart and checkout pages. We reported it a week ago, but it still hasn’t been resolved. Support has been extremely slow to respond, and we’ve sent four emails over the past few days without receiving a reply. This is seriously affecting our website’s conversion rate. After testing on multiple mobile devices, we found that the total price on the cart page frequently includes only the base price and leaves out the customization charges. The same issue also occurs at checkout. Our conversion rate has dropped significantly. Both our US and UK stores are experiencing similar issues. On our German store, the problem mainly occurs on the checkout page. We’re unsure whether this is caused by the app failing to load properly or by a code conflict. We urge your support and technical teams to take this seriously, consider the impact from your customers’ perspective, and prioritize resolving the issue.

Roman, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience . I completely understand how concerning this is, especially when it affects pricing and potential revenue. I responded to your recent email within an hour with initial findings and steps to resolve the issue, and also requested access so I can investigate this directly in your store. So far, we haven’t received access or a follow-up, which makes it difficult for us to fully diagnose and fix the problem for you. It’s possible our replies may not be reaching you. Could you please check your spam or junk folder for emails from contact@relentlessapps.com, and whitelist that address? You can also try reaching out to us from an alternative email if needed. Looking back at our past conversations, we’ve consistently responded quickly with guidance or requests for more information, but we haven’t received replies, which suggests there may be a communication issue. We genuinely want to resolve this for you as quickly as possible and ensure everything is working correctly. If you’re open to it, please grant access or reply to our email so we can take care of this right away. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to make this right for you.

Cuando se añade un producto con add-on price al carrito y se va a hacer el pago las pasarelas de pago no se abren, solo pasa cuando hay productos con precios add-on en el carrito. No lo pueden arreglar y en soporte no ayudaron en nada. No lo recomiendo, hemos perdido muchas ventas por culpa de este problema.

Hola Sofia. Lamento mucho la frustración y el impacto que este problema tuvo en tus ventas. Entiendo lo grave que es cuando los clientes no pueden completar el pago, especialmente después de haber confiado en nuestra app durante años. Tan pronto como estuvimos en contacto con Shopify y el proveedor de pago externo, realizamos una investigación exhaustiva y múltiples pruebas directamente en tu tienda. Durante la investigación, confirmamos que los pagos comenzaron a redirigir correctamente nuevamente a Mercado Pago y Flow, incluyendo pedidos con price add-ons, sin que fuera necesario realizar ningún cambio en la configuración de tu tienda. Este tipo de situaciones puede ocurrir cuando existe un conflicto temporal de comunicación entre Shopify y ciertos proveedores de pago. Nuestra app no controla ni ejecuta código en la página de checkout, ya que Shopify gestiona esa parte por razones de seguridad, pero aun así tomamos estos problemas muy en serio y continuamos monitoreando todo para asegurar que funcione correctamente. Valoramos mucho que hayas sido cliente durante tanto tiempo y queremos asegurarnos de que tengas una experiencia confiable. Me encantaría confirmar contigo que todo está funcionando correctamente ahora. Puedes contactarme directamente en contact@relentlessapps.com y estaré encantado de ayudarte personalmente. Si tu experiencia actual refleja que todo está funcionando correctamente nuevamente, te agradeceríamos mucho que consideraras actualizar tu reseña, ya que ayuda enormemente a nuestro pequeño equipo independiente. Gracias por tu paciencia y por trabajar con nosotros para investigar este problema. — Jon Relentless Apps
Free plan is useless. No way to add pricing
Developer reply ·
Thanks for your feedback, and I’m sorry for the frustration. The free plan is designed to let merchants test the app and create unlimited options for one product. Price add-ons are part of the Advanced plan, which is listed on the pricing page so merchants can choose the plan that fits their needs. We offer free support on all plans (even the free plan) and we’re always happy to help merchants get the most out of the app or answer any questions about upgrading. If you’d like help setting up price add-ons or exploring the Advanced plan, please contact us. We’re here to help. Jon Relentless Apps
BEWARE!!! I installed and then later uninstalled this app, and the uninstall does not delete all of the installation and it destroyed my ability to offer products with variants without the app installed. I have contacted this company at least 3 times 3 different ways telling them it is an emergency as my customers cannot check out and they have done nothing. I had to reinstall it so my site will work for the time being. This is terrible.
Developer reply ·
Hi Jessica, We’re very sorry for the frustration this caused. Our app does not intentionally break Shopify variants, and uninstalling it should not affect checkout functionality. In this case, the issue was resolved by publishing a fresh theme, and we have already reached out to investigate what caused the conflict so we can prevent it in the future but we haven't heard back. We’re a small U.S.-based team, and while there was a short delay due to time zone differences, we are actively responding and happy to help. Please reply to our email or share your collaborator code so we can fully review what happened. Jon Relentless Apps contact@relentlessapps.com

Hi Leung, unfortunately this was an issue with China's firewall blocking our app in your region. We followed up with an email to get more information from you but we never heard back. Email us back and we can look deeper into the issue. Jon Relentless Apps contact@rentlessapps.com
I’m facing an issue where the variant price is not being added to the cart page. The selected product option shows the correct price, but when added to the cart, the price doesn’t update or display properly. Please fix this issue so the variant price reflects correctly on the cart page.
Developer reply ·
Hi Shoaib, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We’ve already responded to your email and resolved the issue with the variant price not updating in the cart. If everything is now working as expected, we’d really appreciate it if you could update your review to reflect the resolution and the support you received. Of course, if you notice anything else or need further help, just let us know and we’ll be happy to assist. Best regards, Jon Relentless Apps
nonfunctional, even with their guide.

Hi Steve, we’re really sorry to hear you had trouble setting up our app. I did send you an email but never heard back, so I wanted to follow up here as well. There was a recent issue that caused problems for some users, but once it was reported we moved quickly to fix it. Everything should now be working smoothly. We’d love the chance to make this right for you. If you respond to our emaill, we’ll personally help troubleshoot and get everything set up, and we’re happy to extend your trial so you can test the app again at no cost. We’re just a small two-person team, but we care a lot about building the best app possible and giving our customers the support they deserve. Your feedback matters, and we’d truly appreciate the opportunity to turn this around for you. Jon Relentless Apps
I had a fully paid subscription plan valid until 2026. Since we won't be selling anymore after 2026, I decided to cancel the subscription to prevent automatic renewal. However, after doing this, all app features were disabled. I've tried contacting support, but there's no available communication channel. I need the features of the already-paid plan to be restored or a refund issued.
Developer reply ·
I’m really sorry for the confusion and frustration this caused. Shopify manages all billing and subscription charges automatically, so when a subscription is canceled, they also remove access to the paid features. I’ve actually reached out by email a few times but didn’t hear back. Please reply directly to an email, and we’ll make sure everything is taken care of for you, whether that’s restoring access or finding another solution that works best for you. Thanks for your patience, and I look forward to getting this resolved quickly. Jon Relentless Apps contact@relentlessapps.com
I was using this app for 2 swatch colour products because Shopify has a quantity limit. I was unaware that the starter plan had changed to 1 product, removing the swatch colour option from one of my best sellers until a customer placed an order and I had to email asking for their preference. I have had to find another app, set up and start again from scratch. I was informed of the changes prior to this but I'm not paying nearly £10 just for a second option, I couldn't even open my 2nd option to copy the colour swatches until I upgraded. I don't usually leave reviews and long ones, but hope this helps someone before I uninstall.
Developer reply ·
Hi Alexandra, I sent you an email to your h****@melaninminds.com email. I'm really sorry for the frustration our app caused, especially with one of your best-selling products. Martin and I built Variant Option Product Options to help other businesses no hurt them. Just to clarify, our Starter plan has always included just one product with options since it launched over a year ago. We understand it’s easy to miss that and you didn’t realize the limitations. That’s on us to communicate more clearly within the app itself, and I have spoken with my partner on creating a message in the app. If you ever have an issue in the future please contact us. We are here to help. Jon Relentless Apps contact@relentlessapps.com
not clear how to cancel the subscription
Developer reply ·
Hi Vasily, I am sorry you were having difficulties canceling the subscription. When I looked into this I saw you were already able to cancel the subscription. I emailed you at v***n@merch38.com with more information. All apps are the same and you can cancel app subscriptions by removing the app. We also have this information in our Knowledge Base in the link below https://www.relentlessapps.com/kb/how-do-i-uninstall-the-app-and-cancel-future-payments/ In the future, if you have any questions, please contact us directly. We are always here to help :) I also went ahead and issued you a refund for your last bill. Have a great day, Jon Relentless Apps
I have encountered a very important problem. I have contacted you. Please reply to me as soon as possible. My email address to contact you is: service@getfamilygifts.com
Developer reply ·
I just checked and it looks like Paypal or Shopify fixed the issue you were having with paypal and draft orders. I am sorry for the inconvenience this caused you. We did everything in our power to notify Shopify and Paypal about the issue to have them fix this as quickly as possible. If you have any more questions or need any help please send us an email. Thank you, Jon Relentless Apps
The server is down a lot. I have had the app a week and have already wasted a lot of time refreshing and waiting for the app to be available to work in.

You will be happy to hear we switched to another company called StackHERO February 21st at 4am PST. We upgraded our mysql version, client library, and have unlimited connections now. We haven't seen any emails about this issue since. I am sorry for all the issues, and the inconvenience it has caused you and your business. We were trying our best to work with the company we used for the MySQL database. We went back and forth with them making changes thinking the issue was fixed only to have it come up again intermittently. It has been very frustrating to say the least. Let me know if you are still having any issues or if you need any help. Jon Relentless Apps contact@relentlessapps.com
It is very hard to understand your product before I even start. On one had it says you won't be charged until you upgrade, then it says you have a 14 day trial after which it will be $9.99? Which one is it?
Developer reply ·
Update: We just updated our app :) You will now be allowed to use our app for free with unlimited product options on one product. We also still offer the app completely free to anyone on a development store. Old reply: Hi Steven. I sent you an email explaining everything there. Our app is free for development stores and merchants that are on a Shopify Trial and not on a paid plan for Shopify. If you are on a paid Shopify Plan then we have a 14-day trial to test out the app before paying for the app subscription. If you have any more questions please reply to the email I sent and we would be happy to help you in any way we can. Jon Relentless Apps
After years of having this app at 9.99 I noticed my add ons not working. I was then told I needed to upgrade! Like what?? You are thieves - no prior notification. I chose a plan and get told I need to upgrade when nothing has changed from my side? I do not recommend
Developer reply ·
Hi Cheryl, I'm sorry there was a little confusion on what plan you had to be on for price add-ons to work. We try our best to clearly communicate that price add-ons are only available on the Advanced Plan. From day one we have had this information clearly stated on the app listing and plans page in our app. I also see you emailed us 3 years ago that price add-ons weren't working. We replied stating you needed to be on the Advanced Plan for price add-ons to work. After that, I see you were on the Advanced Plan for 2 years. Several months ago you downgraded the app again and sent an email about the same issue. We replied again stating the price add-ons are only available in the Advanced Plan. We are just a two-person company trying to make the best apps possible with the best customer service. If you think there is another place where we could have this information please email me back and let me know.
does not allow variants to send digital files. The developers offer no assistance. Take it as it is or leave it. UPDATE: no app like Variant Option Product Options that I could find allows digital downloads. I found a workaround after spending 2 weeks and figured out that I could use shopify's variants for the digital downloads, then use Variant Option Product Options for the remainders. The pricing ads up correctly. so i did reinstal the app and it is working I wish they could have told me about a workaround instead of me spending 30 hours of my time figuring out a workaround. they should give me free lifetime subscription for helping them resolve their problem.
Developer reply ·
Hi Rob, I am sorry for the miscommunication before. That's great to hear that you were able to get everything working properly with out app and digital downloads. I went ahead and gave you an extended 60 day trial for the app. Have a great day, Jon Relentless Apps
Don't download this app! It suddenly removes all your variants, leaving your shop with only the add to cart button. It happens randomly, after you notice it its already hours past and you lost your daily ads money plus all orders. It's a critical issue very huge catastrophic problem. And there is nothing for you to do! You have to turn off your ads and wait for them to reply your emails, rendering your complete shop useless and on their careless hands. It's so frustrating, worst experience with an app ever here on shopify!! DON'T DOWNLOAD!! Answer to your reply: yes it took you 3 hours to reply my email but the technical issue lasted 24hours. 16 hours until I noticed. I lost approx 1.000$ through this problem. You going to refund that?
Developer reply ·
Sorry about that Daniel. We fixed an issue with our script last night which caused an issue in your Paolo Alto theme. We have already fixed this issue earlier this morning. I am sorry for the inconvenience this caused you. I am sorry it took us a 3 hours to see your email. We do our best to give the best support we can.
THIS APP IS A JOKE! Wish I read the bad reviews first. you can not TRACK INVENTORY! Yes you can do more than 100 variants but that is not transferred back to shopify to enter quantities. So you basically can not put any INVENTORY QUANITIES, PRODUCT SKUS, BAR CODES! Have to mention that the customer support may take several days to reply, and this app will completely mess up your product page layout!!!
Developer reply ·
Hi Mary Ann, I am sorry the app didn't fit your needs. I see we always responded to your emails within a few hours. You can keep track of inventory and SKU's with Shopify Options and use our app to style those options. Or you can use our Virtual Options to add an infinite amount of options and variants. These however don't keep track of inventory or support SKUs. Can you give us more information about what you mean by "completely mess up your product page layout". I didn't see any emails about that.
Their support is phenomenal :) but I wouldn't say anything more...Their support is phenomenal :) but I wouldn't say anything more...

Thank you for the kind words. If you can also update your rating we would really appreciate it. Thank you, Jon Relentless Apps
Use Variant Option Product Options by Best instead! This app, by Relentless Apps, was the first one to do Image Swatches that I came across when I was first opening my shop, and I wish I never had added it. When I first got it, it was free, and I could use the Image Swatches for free as well, but eventually they decided to bump up their price to take advantage of fools like me who didn't have time to search for another app. The interface is infuriating and difficult to use, it's very counter-intuitive, has almost no visuals at all, at least, it didn't up until the moment I uninstalled it on March 28, 2022. You have to scroll through huge columns of text, you cannot search for your items by collection or tag, the only way to do anything in the app is to know the exact names of your items. The "Duplicate" option is phrased in a confusing way, so you can't tell if you're selecting the item you wish to copy or the item you wish to copy TO, it doesn't always work, and you can barely tell if it's done anything or not. You have to search for the item AGAIN, by its full title, to then click on it, and see if the change was made. I was able to accept all of these flaws because it was free. But for the last many months, without my really knowing, this app was costing me nearly $10 a month! Horrifying! The other odd thing I noticed was the name would change every now and then, which I found strange, but didn't think anything of it. Now that I see it has the same name as another app, which has all of the same features FOR FREE, and guaranteed to always be free. My guess is that they changed the name, probably multiple times, to try to match this other app, to trick more hapless fools like me into getting it, and then charging them nearly $10 a month for an app that barely functions. tldr: Get the app by Best of the same name. You won't be disappointed.
Developer reply ·
It doesn't sound like you are talking about our app. We have only ever offered a free version for development stores. When you installed the app you selected a subscription plan and accepted the monthly charges. For the Basic Plan, it is $8.99. We have kept our prices the same since we built the app in 2017. The free app you are talking about actually copied our app and functionality. The reason why it is free is they try to funnel you into their paid app that offers price add-ons and more features. They also copied our app name and the colors of our logo. It is a shame that Shopify lets companies completely copy your app but there is nothing we can do about it at the moment. For searching for the product you can easily find the product by searching the title or you can find your product in Shopify and then click our app from there to edit the product. You can also use our global options to add color swatches, image swatches, or buttons to all of your products. I am sorry the app didn't fit your needs. We are always working on improving our app and making it better for everyone. I looked for any recent emails from you but I couldn't find any. We are always here to help with fast support. If you want to give our app another try send us an email at contact@relentlessapps.com and we will make sure everything is working correctly for you.
This app appeared to be very good and useful, however it broke the swatch option on my product and would not uninstall completely. Contacting the app developer proved to be unhelpful as they stated that the app was fully removed and the issue was not something that was caused by their coding.
Developer reply ·
Hi Lance. I see I emailed you a month ago. I had sent a request to access your store and look into the issue but you declined the access and never emailed me back. We would be happy to look into this again and fix any issues caused by our app. I sent you another request to look into this issue. Jon Relentless Apps
Unfortunately, it was a complete waste of time. It took me days to set up the app. Unfortunately, the app has some bugs, e.g. product prices are not transferred to the checkout page. The customer service responded relatively quickly, but could not help in most cases. The technician is booked out for days, I was told. To fix my problems I would have had to wait 4 (!!!) days. Such slow service can ruin your business. I definitely cannot recommend this app, it just has too many bugs.
Developer reply ·
Thank you for the compliment, we do our best to answer emails quickly. When I looked into our emails I saw that we always responded within a few hours answering your questions and fixing any issues you had with the app. To be clear I do see Jon had told you it would take 1-4 days to fix your incompatibility issue with your theme where our app's virtual options were not showing there. I tried to fix this issue 24 hours after you gave us access to your store but you had already uninstalled the app. To be fair to all our customers we fix the problems of our customers in the order we receive them. If you would like to try out our app again please re-install the app. Martin Relentless Apps

Hi Ali. When looked into this the app "Skip to Checkout" was deleting our price add-ons. It looks like you removed this app and everything is working correctly now. I also went ahead and gave you a month free of our app. Email me back and let me know if there is anything else we can do to help you. Have a great day :) Jon Relentless Apps
With of the Shopify help center, the app was not working with my theme and even I deleted the app they still charging me!
Developer reply ·
I already contacted Shopify and they gave you a full refund for all your charges. All the billing is handled automatically through Shopify and depending on the day you get your bill you may get charged up to 30 days after you uninstalled the app for a previous billing period. If you need help getting the app to work we would be happy to help and make sure everything is working correctly. contact@relentlessapps.com Jon Relentless Apps
They generated the charge immediately, they did not give me 14 days to check if it complies with what I require, and with the first revision it does not comply, I require my refund
Developer reply ·
I contacted Shopify and they issued you a refund. We also updated our app to give a cumulative 14 day trial. So now if someone installs the app for one day last year and installs again they will have 13 days left on their trial. You had previously installed our app last year and used up your free trial, so that is the reason why you were charged. That's how our previous system worked, giving a 14 day trial from the first day you installed. If you have any more questions let me know :) Thank you, Jon Relentless Apps
Just went live with our restaurant and ran into the issue where orders came in without price add-ons. 2 out of the first 8 orders randomly did not charge for the add on items. The add on item added to the order (text) and displayed to the customer, however did not actually charge. Going to have to scrap this app and hundreds of hours of time creating our variants for hundreds of food items. Very disappointed and have been paying for this app during development. No testing yielded this, and we are using the app in the most off-the-shelf intention. Reading other reviews this has been a known issue since June 2020.
Developer reply ·
Hi Katerina, we fixed the issues you had with the app. Some themes need settings or code to be changed to get everything working together. I also refunded you all your charges of the app while you where developing your store. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help you.

Their support is terrible. They said we can do it to the question I asked first and then they said they got it wrong. Now I ask one question and they give me another answer.
Developer reply ·
Sorry for the confusion, we didn't understand the problem you were asking about. Something was lost in translation. When I looked into our emails we always replied within a few hours. We sent you another email and are waiting to hear back from you to fix the issues. Please email us back and we'll get this fixed for you :) Martin Relentless Apps
So many problems with this app. Firstly, options are difficult to organise. Once you add an option e.g. size to Tshirt A, you can duplicate it to Tshirt B easily. But if you suddenly forgot to add the colour option on Tshirt A, duplicating Tshirt A to B will replace all of Tshirt B's unique options, different from Tshirt A. This was extremely annoying as I could not duplicate only one option. You must pay for an external app to have discount code box enabled. If you don't, there's no discount box. I ran into the issue where orders came in without price add-ons. I lost money from that and the customer service said they tried their best but could not figure out why my orders would randomly be placed without price add-ons. This is the absolute worst, it happened twice, out of 10 orders and that's enough to make me delete this app. Customer service was not replied in the nicest manner. I've had better support from another app I found that is better than this for much cheaper, where they could show me screenshots and videos of how to change something. Don't waste your hours adding all the options and then having your website close down for a week to figure out the problem. Pros: I like all the options and the look, especially with the instructions type option where I can add a photo to help shoppers understand the option better. Could be better, honestly.

I am sorry the app didn't work properly for you Shirley. With hundreds of themes and thousands of apps there are endless possible compatibility problems. We are constantly improving our app to fix any problems that come up. We realize that the duplicate tool doesn't fit every users needs and are creating something that will. We are already working on a better system to control product options for multiple products, and collections. Thank you for your kind words about how the app looks. As a web designer for many years I am proud of the look and usability of the app. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you in the future. - Jon Relentless Apps
very dissapointing app.... after lots and lots of hours confugurating after view weeks not working well. shows no more option pictures. Lost of money... so sad.
Developer reply ·
We tried to email you about this issue but we never heard back. Since everything was working fine before, your comments make me believe it was another app that you installed causing the issues. Sometimes, things just don't go as expected but I think we deserve a chance to help you fix the issue you had and provide you with great, immediate service. We will be happy to set up the app for you right away. - Jon Relentless Apps
Wost service I never had. You ask for help and they tell you that they don't have the time to help you and that they prefer to answer basic questions. I don't suggest you to work with them. Really disappointed.

We have sent you a few emails and haven't heard back from you. When I checked we always responded to your emails within a few hours. I would appreciate it if could email us back and let us know what else we can do to help you. Thank you.
