Got this to create RSS feed for blog. It would be better if the chronology were correct. Aren’t really any other options. Prior to Shopify, I created feeds manually in a text editor. Very tedious. Surprised Shopify implementation is broken, creating a need for third-party app.
AI recommendations are too artificial for my shop. Random recommendations are not logical. Manual recommendations are required for bestl associations. This is where the product excels. Versatile styling ptions are also appreciated.
To the many shop owners unsatisfied with conversion who post questions in forums asking for advice, this app may be the only advice you need.
As someone with programming background, I am used to writing code to make software more efficient. Custom programs can automatically click checkboxes, execute actions based on those selections and present an appropriate message to the user. When I install off-the-shelf software, I try not to get my hopes up too high. After analyzing data and running polls it became apparent that 40 percent of visitors’ view of what was valuable on my site differed from my target audience. As I responded by adding more products, there was a struggle to maintain simplicity for the core audience. I outlined a solution in my head and then presented it to my partner. There is a need to conditionally hide some pages and products. Blog pages need to have some preview text with indexable meta data. Access to specific portions should be monetized — all while maintaining compatibility with 17 other apps running the site. It really seemed to require a custom programming solution. With approval to search the App store, I discovered Locksmith. The short video seemed great but I was worried about the finer granularity. So I read most of the Help pages on the site and queried developers about my plan prior to installation. A working prototype was active within a day. Most of the time involved making duplicate copies of each blog article (long and short). Excellent tech support was available for UI refinements. I am BLOWN AWAY with the results. The new features function like a custom-developed app. I am actually running three stores from one site with conditional discounts and other features based on customer industry categories. There are not enough superlatives nor enough stars to express my satisfaction! ******
Edit Order fills in a glaring Shopify omission: The ability to edit orders. Customers are bound to select multiple items one size and accidentally add one with a different size. (My former shop would flag such discrepancies in the checkout window.) Edit Order does not flag discrepancies but it does allow you to contact a grateful customer and change line items on their invoice. Refunds and requests for additional funds are seamless handled through the Shopify interface. Customer service has been excellent. ---- My only complaints have nothing to do with the app, but rather how Shopify maintains its audit trail. Edits require the original order to be canceled and a new one created. Cleverific makes this process as transparent as possible; it can even adjust inventory. The issue is that Shopify includes multiple sales in the customer history following an edit. If you edit a variant description without even touching the price on a $50 order, customer history will indicate 2 orders totaling $100 have been made. Need to make another edit? Now the customer has placed 3 orders totaling $150.
I am going to try very hard to say something negative about this app: Shogun is nearly as FANTASTIC as the customer support that comes along with it. Sorry for being so brutal ;-)
This was a mistake. Only works in Chrome desktop browsers with a plugin. Even then there are many site errors returning a page full of error code. With patients you can add products but the interface is from the 1990s. Ultimately, I found a better solution from a competitor.
I am on the fence between 3 and 4 stars. The interface is nice. With Australia, Canada, USA, and Spain vendors, most product descriptions are better than those limited to China, though some from China are also included. Restricting product searches to specific types of products yields limited results. Inventory is mostly apparel. Many items are nearly out of stock. If you hunt very well, you can end up with a few good products.

Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear that you found the interface user-friendly and the product descriptions generally solid, especially from vendors in Australia, Canada, the USA, and Spain. We also appreciate you recognizing the effort it takes to find those “hidden gem” products — we know it can make a real difference. That said, we completely understand your concerns about limited search results and inventory levels, particularly within certain product categories. Expanding supplier diversity and improving stock availability are both areas we’re actively working on. Your feedback helps guide those improvements, and we’d love to hear more if you have specific categories or product types you’d like to see. Thanks again for helping us get better! - Eleanor
