What Merchants Think

The "BOLD Subscriptions" app receives mixed reviews from merchants. Many appreciate its ease of management and commendable customer service, especially during migrations or resolving issues. However, some merchants express frustration with the transition from version 1 to version 2, citing lost functionalities, elevated costs, and ineffective support in critical situations.

Key Strengths

  • Excellent customer support, particularly from team members like Chintak, Chaysen, and others.
  • Easy app navigation and management for both administrators and customers.
  • Helpful migration support ensuring seamless transitions.
  • Continuous updates and new features introduced over time.

Common Concerns

  • Migration challenges from v1 to v2, with some features missing in the new version.
  • Issues with subscription functionality, such as management of subscription frequencies and integration with other BOLD apps.
  • High costs and unexpected transaction fees, especially compared to earlier versions.
  • Limited customer service availability and perceived inefficiency in resolving complex issues.

Final Thoughts

"BOLD Subscriptions" is a powerful tool for businesses looking to implement subscription models, bolstered by strong customer service. However, potential users should be aware of the app's challenges, particularly associated with version transitions, and evaluate the app's features against their specific business needs.

The app itself offers all the features we need to provide our customers with the best subscription offer. Besides the quality of the app, I am very satisfied with the customer service and all the support i received. I am not the most technical but was able to set up bold and the offers by myself and where needed the bold team was there for me. Highly recommend if you are looking for an improved subscription experience for your customers.

Easy way to improve monthly sales - offer a subscription option! Their support staff was very helpful in implementing this into our store. Highly recommend.

Bold subscription service is so ideal for my wholesale coffee roasting business that provide drop shipping directly to online customers. I love that I could do the "subscribe and save" option for any item, giving my customers the freedom to subscribe to get any product they want with a little of the top.

Bold App has limitiations that cause difficulties with our International Customers, but your Chat Representative, Daniel P., was very helpful in handling an issue with an international customer.

No one was helpful EXCEPT for Irfan. he was the ONLY person who helped me. The rest were worthless. Irfan accessed my problem, asked the right questions, and ensured that he fixed it. He did not put the issue off on other providers like Cody. Thank you Irfan!!!!

Not useful and difficult to cancel. Can't effectively manage subscriptions. So their entire business model is based around customers forgetting about their app and leaving auto pay on.

Cody was incredibly fast, efficient, and knowledgeable. I had been struggling with migration for what felt like forever, and Cody made the process so much easier. My only regret is not reaching out sooner!

I was having a pricing issue with the bulk update feature on the app. I reached out to Bhumi and they quickly resolved the issue for me with simple, easy instructions. I always appreciate good customer service. Thanks Bhumi!

The app is very easy to manage, both from the admin and customer vantages. We've been using it for 4+ years for our deodorants with no issues and almost immediate in app support for any issues you come across or questions you have. I recently had a question about an active subscription I have for a product that has no variants that I wanted to add a variant to but was worried it might disrupt the active subscriptions. Chintak was able to test different ways of solving the issues on a test store and I went from realizing a potential problem to having a solution in under 10 minutes on the help chat.

Chaysen was awesome to work with! He met my expectations and beyond! If the whole team has a servant heart like him, Bold will surely excel with their company. Thank you for such a seamless experience and your willingness to help me migrate everything over and offer more services. Thank you.

Please GOD can someone help me?!?! Can anyone suggest an alternative app that I can retain these last remaining customers???? I'm DYING to find an alternative to this nightmare of an app. We used Bold v1 for years and everything was fine. Since they forced us to "upgrade" (ha hilarious to call it an upgrade), it has been a NIGHTMARE. I've spent hundreds of hours trying to get the "upgraded" app to work. The "seamless" migration was a fail that I had to fix every single existing subscription manually with custom discount codes & notes. Since then I have had every subscription group duplicate the frequency list over and over... to the point that you would need to scroll for 3 feet to find the end of the frequency list. Thousands of dollars lost, endless customer complaints. Went from 400+ subscribers to now only 68. Most of the orders placed for subscription don't actually create subscriptions. And no way for me to know that we just lost what should have been a recurring customer. Product pages look ridiculous with all the duplicate subscription frequency options. No customer could navigate these. Front end support staff always says they have to escalate to developers, but no way to talk to developers directly. Around 2 weeks after contact I get an email saying everything is "fixed" and what that usually means is I have to start over trying to fix every item from A-Z manually. Can't remove the subscription widget no matter what I do. I've even deleted every subscription group and the damn widget still remains (sometimes duplicated five times over). After getting 3 months free three times over for "frustration"... I have been working on this for over a year... I gave up on even contacting them for credit. My DREAM is to dump them, contact my credit card company to dispute remaining charges (including their "oops.. we may have charged you too much for processing fees for months"... no shit, my processing fees tripled) by explaining their fraud, BUT I have these 68 subscriptions remaining. Can anyone suggest an alternative that I can retain these last remaining customers???? Shopify should have more control over this. This app should not even be an offer on their app market. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. THIS APP IS A SCAM. Please, if you have an alternative that I can migrate over to please let me know. This experience has brought me to the point of considering ending the online side of my business just to end this nightmare.

I have enjoyed this app. The first version was a bit complex to set up, but now that they've updated everything, it seems to be working smoothly. There have been some hiccups, but every time I've reached out, the staff are always quick to respond and resolve issues. Thank you Chintak! You were a great help!
