What Merchants Think

The "Buy Button channel" app receives mixed reviews from merchants. Some appreciate its ability to extend product reach beyond the traditional Shopify platform and find it beneficial for external marketing. However, others have highlighted significant functional limitations, particularly concerning integration and usability, which hamper its reliability and seamless operation.

Key Strengths

  • Facilitates marketing across various platforms independently of the primary Shopify store.
  • Allows the generation of multiple buy codes for different collections, offering flexibility in usage.
  • Valuable for single product sales and expanding product reach.
  • Maintains a cart on external websites with a streamlined checkout process.
  • Offers essential functionalities for mobile platforms.

Common Concerns

  • Issues with cart synchronization, especially on WordPress sites, leading to dual cart issues.
  • Lacks compatibility with subscription-based products and certain Shopify features.
  • Problems with usability for non-developers, requiring HTML code installation and customization.
  • No search or filter options for users with extensive product ranges.
  • Inconsistent performance leading to server loading issues and altered code over time.

Final Thoughts

The "Buy Button channel" app is regarded as a useful tool for merchants aiming to broaden their product reach across various platforms. While it offers significant advantages for certain use cases, such as single product sales and mobile optimization, its limitations in integration and usability prove challenging for some users. Overall, while beneficial, it may require further refinement to fully meet diverse merchant needs.

I've been using this app for years, and I finally have to point out that it's a very faulty app. When I add the code to a blog page, and it looks fine, I come back to the page months later to optimize the page, and the code is altered or not working. Really unreliable.

Great app, thank you! Feature suggestions: 1. Save buttons generated so that it is easy to edit the button and use the code. 2. When adding a collection make it easier to adjust the size of the images so that it can all be the same size or square, etc. Thanks!

Haven't generated a ton of sale with it yet, but the business we have earned has been appreciated. Also, I feel it helps give us more of a cool factor over the competition.

Looking back on it I think the buy button really only works for a single product. I had multi orders from the same customers and had to manually combine the shipping. My bad. Not the apps fault.

Donc le client peut avoir 2 paniers en même temps qui ne se synchronise pas. Dommage car c'est une super application. Faites-la marcher correctement s'il vous plait, elle est mega importante pour développer son business.

You can generate any number of code for each collection separately... this is best... best... best. So if you had a Wordpress site, the cart button will not follow the user as they navigate.

It maintains a cart on another website and once user is finished adding products, they can proceed to checkout on main website.

This Plugin is exactly we wanted. It maintains a cart on another website and once user is finished adding products, they can proceed to checkout on main website. You can generate any number of code for each collection separately... this is best... best... best Exactly what I wanted. Well one suggestion - Better styling will help us more. Although this is perfect as of now...

Le concept est super, mais le problème c'est que, quand on met un produit dans le panier, ça ne va pas dans le panier shopify mais un autre panier. Donc le client peut avoir 2 paniers en même temps qui ne se synchronise pas. Dommage car c'est une super application. Faites-la marcher correctement s'il vous plait, elle est mega importante pour développer son business

This is a wonderful app, and with the help from the Support Team i was able to edit it the code for my requirement wherein i wanted the buttons to redirect to my website product pages.

Great concept but very bad usability. Unless you are a skilled web developer do not waste your time. The buy button is HTML code you must install. Don't waste your time here and find a better alternative

The buy button has two main shortcomings. The first is that there is no way to add the cart on the side of the page to a whole website. It only shows up on pages where there is another buy button. So if you had a Wordpress site, the cart button will not follow the user as they navigate. The second issue is a bigger one. If your customer is in the cart and clicks the logo to go back to the full shopify page, the cart contents don't follow. So a person might put a few items in the cart on a Wordpress site, click the link to the storefront, then have nothing in the cart. They might shop more, not realizing it, and purchase just the additional items. It does work really well, though for products. The cart link on the side of the page is nice, it is well designed, and it is connects with other products on the same site really well.

The app does it works, but after installing the app after few sessions i find it to be blank, the app doesn't connect with shopify admin for some reason. it shows "admin.shopify.com refused to connect." can you kindly fix this?

I'd love the option to just deeplink to my shop's PDP. I don't want to checkout off platform, I just want to send them to my shop with this nice little widget. Also, there isn't an option to customize the background colors. I know it matches my shop's theme but that doesn't match some of the site I want to render this.

Not compatible with Subscription based products - including their own Shopify Subscriptions app they released. It used to work with appstle, but now that stopped suddenly too so now I will be uninstalling.

It's a fantastic idea and works well on mobile, but on desktop with Chrome browser, there is a glitch on first-page load. The product collections window is truncated. Any resizing of the browser makes the collection window fully appear. All subsequent views are fine, but press f5 to reload the page and the problem reoccurs. Looking on the Shopify forum shows that this or a very similar issue has been occurring for a few years and I wonder if they just can't fix it.
