Simply The Best Toys and Gifts

Reviewing judge.me's support here - I had an issue where I had cause to change layout to something non-standard. Got myself in a tizzy and couldn't sort it myself, reached out via email to judge.me and within 30 minutes Mustapha had sorted it for me. Can't fault that!

Very easy to set up and use - just enough in the way of customisation, with clear instructions. It's one of those 'does what it says on the tin' apps - it 'just works'. It also looks good. And I can integrate it with my customer account page, so customers can see all their info on one page. It's a no-brainer, to be honest! Very friendly and quick customer service, too. Can't fault them. :-)

Not the easiest app in the world to set up - there are a lot of steps to get it 'just right' - but there's a lot of stuff it needs to get right, so fair dos. There are other complicated apps that 'hand-hold' better, but as long as you follow instructions - and the guys also offer help - then you'll be OK. I have one store, so I have the app set up to offer both Local Delivery and Collect at Store. No-one's used either yet, but my revamped site's only just gone live, so early days. Once set up, with some help from the guys, everything's now running tickety-boo (I did a LOT of testing...). I was concerned at first that enabling the Google Maps API would cost me potentially quite a lot of money - turns out that althought Google 'charge' you to use the API, they also give you a ridiculous number of credits towards it, so in practice only *serious* users are likely to have to pay anything. And no, you don't get charged - credits are given before billing. Overall, for U$8.99/mth for the app, a reasonable buy. If it turns out nobody uses my new options, it won't be because of the app, which integrates well. Good job!

A Most Excellent App. It will sort any or all collections indivdually or together...with separate rules for each, global rules or a combination of both... It will sort by any number of different ways - one I find most useful is by *Published* date, rather than *Created* date. You can push things up, push things down, offer featured products at the top, put Out Of Stock products at the bottom - or pretty much any combination you like. Basically, you can do ANYTHING you could possibly want - apart from the one extra trick that Out-Of-Stock Police has...that of being able to hide products after a while and then reinstate them when they come back into stock. And I'm not sure I need that, now. It will automatically sort all the collections you wish to sort (individualy selectable) ONCE per day - whenever you like - but also, you can manually sort at any time you jolly well please... So, for instance, I put around ten new products up per day (to keep Google interested), which appear in a New Arrivals carousel. These products were created quite a while ago, as I have bricks and mortar shops and that's where products go first. I only release them to the web when all info is present and correct. So, having released the products, I do a Bestsellers reSort on my 'Everything' category, by Published date - and - voom! there they are at the top of the list. Blinkin' marvellous. Can't praise this app enough. I don't like paying every month for an app - but this app certainly works for its money and is, undeniably, #WorthIt. Oh yes - 'it just worked' as well...no faffy setting it up, apart from determining what you want from each collection and then fine-tuning, of needs be. This is where the 'sort at will' comes in useful - you can see your results in pretty much real time. That's the other thing. It's quick. I tried another sorting app and it took, seriously, HOURS. THIS app, Bestsellers reSort, sorts my 'Everything' collection of over 5,000 products in less than five minutes. It can sort all my ~100 collections in around 15 minutes.

So - before I heartily recommend this app, a little piece of history. I created my own 'Brand' page before this app came along. At the time I was running a purely Fair Trade store, with a limited number of small 'Producers', which I put in the 'Vendor' field - and which I classed as a 'Brand'. This page displayed a list of Collection pages; one for each 'Producer' (or 'Brand'). These I had to generate myself, with an auto-populate of 'Vendor'. Once I had a Collection page for each Brand, I then needed to add a box for each Brand, on the overall 'Producers Page', which would display a logo and a link to the Collection page. That's now history. While it worked very well, every time I got a new 'Producer', I would have to update my Collection pages and Producers Page code..... As I'm expanding and adding more real 'Brands' on a weekly basis (lots more toys and geeky stuff), it's become a headache updating this. As if there wasn't enough to do, running a shop and an online store.... And then along came 'Shop By Brand'. Essentially, it does everything that my code did (and more) - *Automagically*. Whenever a new 'Brand' is added - a Brand is added to the list. There's a central admin page for the Brands, where each may be edited individually with a brief description, logo, URL for link out to their website or another place of your choosing...once this info has been set up, everything else 'just happens'. A page of all brands *available online* is generated, with the above info - and a link to a search page (essentially a 'Collection' page) for that Brand. Instead of having to add code, all that needs to be done is populate a handful of fields with esential info for a new Brand - and everything is there. With our expansion, once I bring all products online, we'll have around 250 Brands (way too many for my 'solution'). I've had a word with Jarvis, a very friendly and approachable chap, and he says that won't pose a problem - pagination is on the way. I've also suggested a handful of features I think would improve the app - again, they are already 'in hand' and will be rolled out as and when they can be - number of subscribers permitting, I would imagine. The bottom line - this is a great app as it stands, if you want to offer the facility for a simple click to showcase products from your brands. Yes, this can be achieved in other ways - but this app 'has it all', without having to remember to add in new Collection pages and code. It's elegant and just works. And it's only going to get better :-) I only use apps I think will enhance my store - and this is a prime example.

This is such a good app. It basically takes all the emails Shopify generates, for whatever reason, and provides templates for each of them. They all have the same look and feel - they're linked, so if you change something within the app, all the templates change (a colour or font, whatever) - and all are indivdually editable so you really have no excuse to have Beautiful Branded Consistent Store emails. Great user experience. If you care about the way your store is presented to customers in emails - you need this app.

Really good, smooth app that just - works. Enables you to create beuatiful pdf invoices and associated paperwork - automagically - and with (optional) templates (saves doing all the coding yourself) creates a really slick experience for the customer.

Awesome templates. Really well thought out and coded - provides a great 'brand experience' for the customer. You also have full control over the templates, so can tweak things to your heart's desire - but you really shouldn't need to do much :-)

This. Is. An Awesome. App. First of all - I wanted an app that would tag all products that had a Sale Price (i.e. Price less than Compare At Price). This app does that. So then I can have Automatic Collections based on the tags - On Sale, On Sale - Scarves. Whatever. Then, by accident, I came up with another idea. It can look at all orders - and tag ones that had discounts applied - so I can run a report of any items (including POS - I run a bricks and mortar shop) sold at a discount - staff discount, marked down damaged goods, etc.. Great stuff. And now.....I've come across another great feature. You know when you want to "Select" a range of products, based on different criteria, in Shopify? How do you do it? I'd more than likely run an Excel spreadsheet on all products. Time consuming and faffy. But - wait! Use this app - select whatever you like, based on a large range of criteria - and put a tag on them. Temporary or permanent. Then use Shopify to select all products tagged as "that tag" - and do whatever you want with them. I'm currently making 748 items NOT tagged as POS (my shop only items, until I write descriptions, etc.) and WITH STOCK available on ALL channels. Quick tag - then select on that tag with Shopify and make live. Exactly what the doctor ordered. And I'm sure I've onlyjust scratched the surface. Tags are great. This app more so. Other apps may do the same (although not many) - but the developer's friendly and helpful and it just does the job. Recommended. :-) (It also removes tags.....so those temporary ones you just made? Quickly take them off again) (and it can create metafields, although I don't have a use for that. Yet....) And one more thing - don't forget that, unlike other tagging apps...this one has NO limits on quantity of tags/times you run it. So it's a straight cost per month with no worry. For an app that will be run multiple times per month - you can hardly get better value than this.

Wow. Amazing! It's really useful (and interesting) to be able to see exactly what customers have been clicking on; what path they took through the store...and what it all looks like *to them*. In fact, it helped me identify a (crucial) problem with an app I would otherwise have been unaware of. It's "Magical"! Thx

I first tried this app a few months ago and had some issues - images were delivered too large, impacting performance. However, the team were aware of this and have worked to produce a very tidy app with minimal performance hit; easily customised via CSS but looking good without any mods. Knowing the app had been updated, I gave it another try...I only use one part - the 'Bought Together', however, again this can be tailored to same tags, same vendor, same collection, 'bought together' or 'recommended'. Lots of possibilities and worth the investment - although I confess I'm using the free version at the moment. Still very good (and *exceptional* value!). If I decide to offer an automatic discount, I will go for the paid version. Recently I did have some issues with conflicting apps and the team were very keen to get on and get it sorted for me ASAP. I had another developer sort another app first, but as soon as Globo were given the go-ahead, they were on the case and fixed any issues with no problem. Recommended. And, as I am wont to say - I've tried a few different apps, but this is the one I've settled on for this job. :-)

I've been working with this app (and the team) for some time now - with ups and downs. I'm now more than happy with it - it seems that most of my 'problems' were caused by my not understanding the (I think) unclear terminology used, regarding Automatic and Manual badges. However - finally sussed it when I realised what was going on. Turns out it's much more flexible than I thought, regarding use of badges. Caveat - I'm using badges to highlight 'ethics' (Recycled', 'Hand Made', 'Eco-Friendly' products, etc.) - and not, in the main, 'New', 'Sale', etc.. It's great how you can add your own badges, use CSS, position them just where you like and also govern when and where they're displayed. It's a very comprehensive app and well worth the U$3.99/mth, relatively speaking.

A great wee app that quickly and easily adds in YouTube or Vimeo videos to your product galleries. OK, it's easy enough to add these into a product description, but it's so much nicer to have videos where they should be; with the images. I had a bit of a problem in that I could only realistically use the 'pop-up' feature. This was great on desktop or mobile (always nice when mobile image features work correctly!). However...when I set the videos to be viewed 'as a gallery' - they slipped off my mobile screen. desktop was still fine. So, after just getting along for a while, being mostly happy, I thought I'd ask if they could perhaps sort the problem. Apparently my theme was probably causing the problem (even though it's just the free theme, 'Venture'). However, they worked at it...took a little while but now it's perfectly responsive. On mobile, portrait, landscape or desktop mode (again both orientations) and on desktop, resizing the window -it just gets on with the job, situated in the same space as the normal images. there is one caveat (I believe) - in that on mobile portrait and when the desktop is resized down, the video area becomes square, rather than 16:9. For 'normal' videos, this would of course be a problem - but as these are product videos and the product is located in the centre of the screen - all is fine. So - all in all, very happy and well recommended :-)

I tried a few Metafields apps, starting with the cheapest and working my way up...I've now been using this app off and on for a few weeks and, while its output format isn't the best (one row per product per metafield, rather than columns), it's perfectly workable for someone with Excel skills and I find it rather good! Apart from the bulk export and import facilities (more of that in a minute), the display of information is good and clear. You can select product, collections, whatever else Metafields, to keep things tidy and when you list a single product or collection, or whatever, you're met with a full list of the Metafields applicable to 'whatever you're looking at', along with values. Any or all may be updated on that page, with one 'Save' button. New Metafields may also be entered here (and which then apply to all of that genre -products, collections, etc.). You can also perform a search so you quickly arrive where you want to be. Simple, intuitive, comprehensive. The only problem....is that although the app exports a nice csv file, which may be read by Excel and worked on within Excel - the export from Excel (in UTF-8 format, then opened and saved by Notepad in UTF-8 format, to ensure the file *really is* in UTF-8 format, as Excel doesn't do a good job with that) - cannot then be imported back into Metafields2, as there are some 'dodgy' characters hiding there at the beginning of the file. However...with help from Joe and some experimentation, I've found it's possible to do all the above, working in Excel to do the 'bulk of the job', then open the exported csv file in Google Sheets - and then just save it. This results in a perfectly serviceable, *proper*, UTF-8 file that can be imported back into Metafields2. Maybe a long winded review, but if it helps anyone with similar problems in the future...I think the app deserves it. It's a good app.

I haven't done too much with it yet - but I have tried the Price Drop Alert, which I quite like - not only does it allow the customer to keep tabs on things s/he might like but are too expensive - if a lot of people signup for an item price alert...it's pretty obvious your pricing's not great! Anyway - on mobile, the available space for the pop-up was tiny - and *fixed*. I mentioned this and - lo and behold! - it now expands/contracts to fit the message, even going to two lines if necessary. Great stuff - thanks for listening :-)
