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.

I signed up for Bold to try their product. One of the features they advertised did not work as expected, so the next day I uninstalled their app and requested a refund. They REFUSED to provide a refund and told me I had to wait until the charge went through, paid for their app even though I'm not even using it, and then request a refund. This is crazy. If you install the Bold app and it doesn't' work for you, be prepared to get ripped off or waste your time in a process designed to rip you off.

We have used BOLD for YEARS and they have always been amazing and offer the best support. We have over 1,000 subscribers and they keep coming out with new features. On occasion we have a few gateway issues with payment processing, but they are always super quick to respond. Not only that our customs love how easy it is to sign up, change and edit their subscriptions. I HIGHLY recommend this app to anyone who is looking for a good subscription app for their business.

This plugin is good option if you want to have a product or donation subscription. It supports for many kinds of payment method with Shopify Payments. Also, the support team is available to answer any question or concern including migration V1 to V2. Excellent!

If you are a small-medium merchant, DO NOT DO NOT switch to Bold! My migration from V1 to V2 was horrendous. On numerous occasions in the past year, entire batches of subscriptions were not processed overnight, for no apparent reason. First tier customer service is not helpful, it feels like they respond from a script. The tendency is always to blame Shopify and to divert inquiries to them. You can’t call a hotline, you can’t get transferred to a supervisor. You just get semi robotic replies in their online chat (that only works during day time business hours). If you are lucky enough to convince them to escalate your complaint to a higher level, you wait 24-48 hours for an email reply. Most recently, BOLD significantly overcharged me for the 1% transaction fee. I brought this to their attention before it became announced that the issue affected other merchants. After two weeks of waiting for an update, I had to follow up again and was given their wonderful solution. In a nutshell: “We (Bold) made a mistake. You have been charged incorrectly. We are now going to charge you the correct amount. Shopify will refund you the incorrectly charged amount in a few days/weeks”. Unbelievable! No substantial apology, no compensation for the time and effort. I feel like it will now be up to me to chase after Shopify to get my money back for the mistake that BOLD made. For a fintech company, this is absolutely unacceptable. Take my advice, read the reviews for other apps, and chose one of those. BOLD may go out of their way for the large enterprises, but small businesses get treated like crap. I am going to start working in migrating to an alternative platform asap.

Overly complicated. Don't support dev stores so you have to pay on a real store to play around, slow support and dont support new shopify accounts

I had a quick issue with setting my default from subscription to one-time purchase and Krupa was able to help me quickly with a screenshot and quick video. I have had bold for 3 years and their customer service is really good.

DO NOT USE THIS APP. If you are migrating from Bold v1 to this app because V1 is no longer supported - your experience will be terrible. Really basic features are missing - the support team gives you attitude and treats you like you are stupid when you ask questions. NO Build-a-box migration. NO fixed-term contract options NO Convertible options for migration. It is NOT an embedded app, so if you want to change anything, they refer you to the theme code and ask you to change it yourself. Really simple features are missing, along with all the main features above. NEW users - STAY AWAY. MiGRATING users - I wish you good luck. There is a reason it is the lowest-rated subsciption app on Shopify. BOLD used to be a great company with great apps, but they have dropped the ball on this one.

V2 has been great for us. I needed a few things yesterday, and the service was fantastic. Fast, responsive. Able to do customizations.

We have used Bold Subscriptions for over three years to bill our monthly recurring Shopify accounts. Have experienced virtually no issues and have had great support when required. Love the new app dashboard. Would highly recommend to any business needing a reliable customer billing platform.

Customer service is super helpful! I was struggling to help a customer and Krupa did everything they could to help me find the right solution! The tips I was given will be saved in the event I run into the same issues again.

We've been using Bold for several years now. We were a bit anxious of switching from V1 to the new version, but I must say that 1: The tool works great, but even better 2: the support is great. (Shout out to Daniel, Krupa and Chandan) Would definitely recommend.

I'm just getting started with the app, but I have to say that Irfan in customer service is AMAZING. I had a little trouble getting a few things to work and he took careof them all quickly and also sent me instructions so if I could do it myself if I needed to fix something in the future.

Good app, excellent customer service. V1 was good, but it did have a few issues (mostly relating to the fact that it was a third party payment and not fully integrated with Shopify). V2 has fixed all of that, so now refunds, shipping, payments, etc. are all seamless. The team helped me with the transition from V1 to V2 and that worked very well. Overall, I'm very happy with this app and would recommend it to anyone looking for basic subscription operations on their shopify page

We have used both versions of bold now. Each has been simple to use and easy to navigate. Their team was super helpful for moving our subscribers to the new platform. They made sure everything was running smoothly before letting us know the integration was finalized. The new version of bold is a little different than the one before, but it is still an excellent service.

Great app to use and we have been using for the past couple of years. Service is great and help is always on the other side, which is very important for us. Would recommend to any business, especially with the free introduction trial period for you to try. Would be great if there was a service, where you can hire a BOLD expert to help companies increase their subscription numbers.
