Capy

Developer got greedy. Been using this app for a simple style guide quiz on our site for the past year and it worked fine. Would've been happy to pay a reasonable price with quiz response limit enforcement being announced, but going from $0 to $40/mo is absurd. I gave Claude my quiz link and access to Shopify theme via MC and it rebuilt the quiz and attribution data even better than revenue hunt in less than half an hour. Could've kept us at reasonable pricing, instead you pushed me to look for an indefinitely free and better alternative. Good luck! EDIT: Bumping to 4 stars. That is my misunderstanding on historical pricing. The platform itself is robust, but for our store's specific needs the features and platform are well over-priced IMO and I was able to get more than what I needed for free having an AI update our theme directly. For other stores, with more nuanced needs for quizzes, reporting, etc., this may be a fine product.

Address Guard has saved us countless hours and prevented dozens of mis-deliveries. As a first-time ecommerce/shopify founder, we gradually learned the operational "gotchas" throughout 2024. One of the most painful was packing and paying for orders to ship to our customers, only to find them returned to us due to incorrect and/or invalid addresses, missing unit numbers, etc. Per usual, Shopify address validation feature set is severely lacking. This is where AG fills the gap at a reasonable price point. Things we love: -Post checkout address validation and nudges on Thank You page -Email follow ups to customers who submit orders with potentially invalid or incomplete addresses prompting a confirmation or update -(Optional) order fulfillment holds when invalid addresses are detected -(Optional) order cancellations after X time when invalid addresses are detected -Exhaustive list of address rules and options for validation -Incredibly detailed log of address validation, customer contacts and updates, etc. -(Optional) Email validation (occasionally we get customers providing us invalid emails, leaving us with no way to contact them for order or shipping issues) -Fast, attentive support. They've literally gone and implemented feature request bug fixes within days, if not a couple of weeks. Room for improvement: -Occasional false positives for invalid addresses. Upon manual review and searching on Google Maps, we've been able to manually validate provided addresses and release orders. HARD problem to solve for. I'd rather error towards false positives than false negatives. -Email reminders to customers to confirm or update their addresses seem a little hit or miss in terms of delivery/reception. Multiple customers have mentioned they never received them (spam?) and numerous times we've followed up manually with written email and get responses/updates.

I had really high hopes for this app! It allowed me to achieve the 2 things I wanted that I didn't find in other apps: 1) Add a 2-milestone progress bar to my cart 2) Add simple upsell / product recommendation in-cart to boost AOV. Where it fell short for me: -It replaces the existing Shopify cart page. This isn't necessarily bad, but it felt a little buggy in some ways -- didn't always scroll consistently and I'd see the page behind the cart page scrolling sometimes. When clicking back to "cart" from the native Shopify checkout page, it navigates to the legacy native Shopify cart page instead of Opus. -The BIG one: Detrimentally impacted key conversion and AOV metrics. I watch my Shopify Analytics like a hawk and I noticed that the Checkout conversion rate metric was declining and my overall Conversion rate metric was gradually trending down. I had this app installed from Oct 10-Oct 31st, so I gave it 3 weeks. My checkout conversion rate fell from ~70% down to 59% over those 3 weeks and my overall conversion rate fell ~0.5%. Not apples to apples since it wasn't an actual split or A/B test, but it was enough to convince me to course correct. On top of all that, my main goal of boosting AOV with a 2nd milestone in the progress bar wasn't achieved. My AOV actually fell almost $1 over that time period. Again, not apples to apples with an actual split test, but this made it easy to pull Opus from our store. In the 4 days since swapping out, checkout conversion rate jumped 5% and but AOV has not recovered. It's entirely possible that I didn't design my cart optimally with their app, but I did my best to keep it simple and minimal. Opus is a good idea and offers a strong feature set, however, here's a warning to test and monitor your metrics as you swap a critical function out such as a shopping cart.

ES Back in Stock has been a wonderful app for us-- It took us some effort to get our email domain auth set up so that we could send restock emails directly from our domain, but aside from that this app provides so much value for us while being a free app (understanding that it's a customer acquisition system for their other paid apps, etc.). The support team is also quick to respond and help us work through and challenges or issues we have. Thanks for offering this app to the ecosystem!

The app generally seems like it'd be useful if you want the full range of features, but I only tested the personalized video message as that was 1 of 2 primary features we were looking for. I really wanted this to work but the personalized video gift messaging experience basically doesn't work on mobile devices (for the gift receiver), which effectively makes this feature useless. As implemented, it's shameful to even promote this as a working feature in the listing. If you open this the gift card page on a mobile browser, you can't actually play the video and you need to download the video to your phone- and even then I wasn't able to open/watch it during testing. This means that 90%+ of gift receivers would likely never even watch the video message recorded for them by the sender. Another nit is that the gift card page editor doesn't treat image sizes properly and distorts the aspect ratio even when providing the "ideal" image resolution as suggested. When I contacted developer about the video play issue they cited browser limitations, but there are other apps that offer QR-code based personalized video messages that certainly don't suffer from this debilitating limitation. More likely poor feature design.

After switching from a Products<>Variants structure to only individual Products on our theme and store I was searching for a fast and codeless path to offering "variant pills" or buttons on our product pages. Groupmate was the perfect solution for this and offered a simple, yet intuitive interface. I was up and running with product buttons within 15 mins. Manuel was also extremely responsive over email and accommodating of our needs. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking for more flexibility around variant and product pills / selectors on their theme without needing to fuss with the theme or liquid code!

For a free app that monetizes in other ways (app referrals, etc.) this is the perfect app for adding a newsletter / subscriber popup to your shopify store. We're a newer shop (open 3 months) and finding well-built and well-supported apps like this for cheap or free is a godsend, given how much missing basic functionality shopify has on its platform. EcomSend Popups has plenty of customizability to get you off the ground as a new shop and I don't expect I'll need to "upgrade" to a more robust popup subscriber tool or product for a long time to come. FWIW I've implemented a popup on my home page and collection pages, then a separate "reminder" popup on the cart page. I've averaged about 3% on the homepage/landing page popup and 30% on the cart page popup. Marry this with the free Shopify email automations and you can get some decent and reasonable starter email automation campaigns up and running in no time. The support is also super responsive and helpful. Thanks!
