Works well, but desperately needs the ability to automatically assign products to bundles by tags or collection rather than manually selecting. We have hundreds of items that get quantity breaks, and we're always adding new items, so it would be nice to have one less thing to worry about when making new listings.

We run a brick and mortar fish store as well as online retail, and this app has been super helpful for saving time scheduling live goods deliveries and double checking our inventory the day of scheduled local pickups to avoid customers showing up only to find that their fish or coral is no longer available. We had a few special requests, and the developer was SUPER responsive and quick to implement suggestions. Highly recommend.

Our shipping rules are a bit convoluted, and I was unable to figure out how to make it work myself. However, their team is SUPER responsive, and ended up doing pretty much everything for me. This will save a significant amount of time in custom invoicing and awkward calls to customers when vanilla Shopify shipping doesn't combine our rates as intended.

I can't say enough good things about the customer service. I've been using the Tipo auction app for around 2 years, and they haven't made a single noticeable update or implemented any requests I've made, while Brendan was super responsive and helpful, and customized several things I requested. US Based support vs Vietnam based with a 12 hour difference is also invaluable. The app is also very thought out, and has a lot of time saving features for being around less than a year. I'm told they have a collection page bidding widget coming, which our customers really missed when we tried out Auction Plus. I can't wait till they have it ready so I can start using this app again.

The app has a lot of customization options, and their support has been very responsive. I recently spoke with Tiana, and got a couple bugs resolved, clarified some features of the VIP program, and requested an approval option for the referral program to prevent people from referring themselves and gaming the system.

So far, I've had a great experience with this app. I haven't even paid for it or fully implemented it yet, but they've filled several feature requests that I needed before I felt comfortable hitting the GO button with regular progress updates. I've been using Joy Loyalty rewards for almost a year prior, and they NEVER implemented a single request I made. I'll be migrating over this week, can't wait!

The app looks really slick, and works well most of the time. Support has been responsive to issues and questions I've had. It REALLY needs a way for customers to combine winning bids into one order though. Also, with our use case at least, we like to stagger the ending times of our auctions by 5-10 minutes so people can finish bidding on one item, and start last-minute bidding on the next. To accomplish this, I currently have to make a whole new auction for EVERY item, which gets really time consuming. It would be really nice if there could be a "stagger ending times by X minutes" check box, so I could only setup one auction with all the items, and it would stagger the endings for me.

After 2 months of working with the developer, it has been confirmed this app is more of a beta product vs. something that can work seamlessly. They have stopped responding and refuse to help correct the issues know for their paid app. Auctions work on a cron ending time and while they end at the time they set, winning notification emails are not sent to winners promptly. It is at least a 2 hour lag for winning emails to be sent. This is a failure as we have auctions ending 2 minutes apart. Bidders won't be as willing to spend if they are not notified if they have won and how much they have spent promptly. Also, the active auction tab on our website is cluttered with closed auctions that do not clear out automatically. If you are looking for an app to work like ebay this is not one for you. If you are looking for an app you can get support during normal business hours of 7am - 7pm US time this app is not for you. Want to chat with support? Great, your options are 10pm - 5am U.S. Want to get answers to issues? Sure no problem, email them and wait a few days for them to get back with you stating everything is working when it is not. Again, if you are ok with a beta app that works close to what is advertised but has limitation this might be for you. It has cost us more business than helps. There have been plenty of other issues, as only what is mentioned in this review are issues they stat "cannot be fixed."
