I've been using this app for several years, but recently I've been encountering more and more issues. Last Thursday, I emailed them to report two bugs, but it's been five days now and I still haven't received any response or seen the issues fixed. These problems are already affecting the shopping experience on our website and are having an impact on our conversion rate. I have to say that compared with the past, their technical support and customer service have been getting worse and worse. As a long-time customer, I'm really disappointed with this level of response time and support.
Bugs happened before but the tech fixed them in time. The app really does a great job on the features, and the app is very simple to use. Recommend!

We hope that the app is functioning fine as per your business needs. Please get back to us again in case of any difficulties. Thanks for your feedback.
Update on 8/31 2023 The customer support Melanie is very unhelpful and the way they talk to us seems they are the boss and can ask you to do anything! Their report is very inconvenient, they cannot allow you to do a custom report that contains all the data, which is completely understandable because nothing is perfect! But their attitude to this really upset me, Melanie said it is a good suggestion to improve their app, but it is not their responsibility to send this to their tech and asked me to write an email to them again about this! I mean????? No matter if you will take my suggestion to improve, but I already told you this, and you are not communicating or submitting this inside your teamwork? If that's the case, let me know, I will make my business somewhere else!
This app really helped me a lot, with compelling features. and the support team is also helpful and responds in a timely manner
The customer service team has not been helpful at all. The emails went back and forth without resolving my issue, and their app has a bug that they still haven’t given me a clear answer about. I sent them an email on Friday, and after just one weekend, they directly closed my ticket.

Hi there, We’re really sorry for the frustration here. We did follow up with you by email on a separate thread - because multiple tickets were opened, the conversation may have been split, which can make it easy to miss. Could you check your inbox for our latest message and reply there? We’re ready to continue assisting and get the app bug resolved for you. Thank you for giving us the chance to make this right. Regards, Transtore Team
customer support is very helpful and professtional
12/16/2023 update Be aware that you are unable to customize the wishlist email alert even though I paid $50+ each month! Their very professional support team made a stupid mistake about the price drop email, and made the compare price in red and sent to my customers! I asked them to change that, and one day later, and they told me confidently the issue was fixed! Guess what, the mistake still exists! That's the service I got! 12/20/2023 update 4 DAYS passed, and no one could fix the small CSS code problem, they even made the email worse, they are many error codes on the email header. God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL AND FIND ANOTHER APPS
THIS IS THE WORST APP EVER!!! The currency does not work on the cart page!!!! I contacted them and stated the issue very clearly and even sent the image to them. The support team is not reading my message at all and wasted 2 hours looking for something else. I kept sending them where the issue is, but AGAIN they ignored my message. After 5 hours later, they said it is the Shopify payment issue for the currency not displayed on the CHECKOUT PAGE which I never said its on the checkout page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now all currencies do not work at all including the languages. THIS APP IS JUST LIKE JOKES, THE SUPPORT TEAM IGNORES YOUR FEEDBACK AND ONLY WASTED YOUR TIME UPDATE------ They will change your settings and hide the selector without your permission UPDATE 0624 AGAIN They understood my request incorrectly and changed your app setting without your permission.

Hi there, Here's Jolie and we are truly sorry for this inconvenience causing to your experience with our app First of all, we fully take this responsibility because of unexpected support from our agent, we will recheck carefully and have a proper training for them in order to avoid it in the future. Also please believe me that single conversation does not reflect the whole support and product quality we have built for years, and I highly appreciate your empathy in this situation. I have seen that one of my colleagues is following your case by giving you clear explanation as well as solutions for your case, please kindly check it and let him know if you need further support. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Regards, Jolie Transcy - Translate Language and Convert Currency
First, the number of customers in their app is not the same as the one in Shopify, the tech team told me there is a bug in their app, and took 3-4 days to fix it. Second, when I uploaded the point file to their app and there is no way to check the status, even when I imported the 2nd file, it would cancel the first one, which caused the points of my customers to be incorrect all the time. This wasted me over 1 week and still have not gotten it solved. In the last, they told me there is nothing they can do for a huge amount of data cases (The total is only 60K), they also are unable to import the file at their end. What will happen if you have over 60K customers?? The last, they closed the live chat box in my dashboard and did not reply to my email just to make sure I am unable to contact them. I sincerely want to fix this issue and continue to use this APP. But in this case, they are still not trying their best and kept avoiding the issue. -------------03/22/2023 update They said the chat in the app is 24/7. But I never receive a reply in 4 hours! I also was asking for a custom quotation and back to forth, took almost 2 weeks, and they STILL NOT sent me the answer that I want!!!!!! just disappointed

**Updated reply May 11, 2022** Hi Kevin, Wanted to give you a heads up that we made some major improvements to the CSV import system. It is now 20x faster than it previously was. Previously what used to take hours, now takes several minutes. This should improve the user experience dramatically for you when updating members or guests. Thanks again for your feedback and chat back to us anytime! Cheers, James **Original reply May 4, 2022** Hi Kevin, Thank you for your feedback and review. I'm sorry we couldn't meet your expectations of the app. For your first issue, when your member count was different then Shopify, after you reported it, our developers pushed out a fix over the weekend. For your second issue, unfortunately what you were asking us to do was a very rare edge case (it's only come up this one time). ChinaHobbyLine wanted to adjust your guests points, and not member points, and because you had ~50,000 guests, we reached a limit on updating through Shopify's API. After suggesting multiple workarounds and solutions we were unable to come to a resolution. On one occasion, one of our Support Managers spent 8 hours on live chat with you explaining the problem and live troubleshooting. On another occasion, other team members and I spent the same amount of time eagerly trying to provide help and support. Outside of the live chat time our engineering team has spent a significant amount of time working on this problem for you and it was communicated multiple times early on that the functionality you were looking for was not possible. When the problem wasn’t solved over live chat we escalated to our engineering team over email to help solve, which is the typical process we follow. When we exhausted our options for troubleshooting further over live chat (after over 20 hours of live chat time) we offered to schedule a video call to help explain the situation and limitations. When we notified you of this news of the limitation after all this, we offered a full refund and a path forward for a viable workaround. We sent an email over 24 hours ago with a viable workaround for converting your guests into members, but we still have not received a response. I really am sorry we couldn't resolve this for you Kevin, and that it has to come to this. As much as we would like to provide our customers with the best features and flexibility, I'm afraid we can't build out every feature to meet the needs of every use case. I hope you can understand. Again, I am sincerely so sorry for the inconvenience that this problem caused. Our team is very open to resolving this anytime with you, if you would like to reply on the email thread we have open. Hoping to hear from you soon. Cheers, James
Just ok, they fixed the issue as requested. That would be better if they have a chat for communication.
I have no choice but only left a review. 1st, they usually replied to my email in 1 day, but it's already 2 days since I emailed them about the bugs. 2nd, it stated they can export any status of the orders, but when I did, the file does not include the refund and partial refund orders. 3rd, We paid $20 for the app so that we can export the actual amount and currency that the customer paid. We do this Only 1 time EVERY MONTH, they charged us $20!!!!! Now the app does not work at all and I also asked for a refund, it seems they kept ignoring my email and never respond. I wish I could give them 0 stars if possible.
The app is great and helps our work easier. 100% recommend if you migrate your website to Shopify. The support team replies to emails in a timely manner .
Their app stopped my bulk email sent for unknown reasons! I emailed them and they took 4-5 days to reply to the email. The service is really disappointing. Not recommend it at all!
