What Merchants Think

Merchants have mixed feelings about Shopify Flow. While many recognize its potential to streamline operations through automation, others find it cumbersome and difficult to use, especially without technical knowledge. The lack of certain features, issues with multilingual support, and occasional unreliable performance have been points of frustration for some users. Despite these challenges, certain users find it indispensable and appreciate its capabilities for automating workflows.

Key Strengths

  • Powerful automation capabilities that save time and streamline operations.
  • The ability to set up rules for various conditions, such as fraud prevention and inventory management.
  • The potential to replace other automation tools like Zapier.
  • Free access to features that can bolster store management.
  • The low-code editor that simplifies the creation of custom automations.

Common Concerns

  • Difficult to use for non-technical users, with unclear instructions.
  • Lack of native multilingual support, affecting global merchants.
  • Unreliable performance with certain flows not working as expected.
  • Poor customer support and limited assistance in resolving issues.
  • Some users find it creates more problems than it solves, leading to frustration.

Final Thoughts

Overall, "Shopify Flow" has been a valuable tool for merchants looking to enhance their store operations through automation. However, its potential is marred by usability issues, unreliable functionality, and a lack of support, making it more suitable for those with technical expertise or the patience to work through its complexities. While improvements and additional features could make it a go-to solution for even more users, as it stands, it appeals primarily to those who can fully navigate and leverage its capabilities.

wish i could programmatically edit flows (e.g. export, edit JSON, re-import) wish i could have multiple triggers (instead of near-identical duplicate flows) wish i could copy-paste nodes wish my whole screen wouldnt constantly shift every time i click on the background to deselect a node

Easy to use and makes things so much easier to manage and automate so I am able to give great customer service as a one-man show

variable and object lookup isn't sorted or done in an intuitive way. It is also difficult to determine which option you need to pick when 5-6 of them have exactly the same titles and very similar sounding purposes.

I think it's good in general, but there's obvious usability issue. It's lacking production ready features such as strong version control and access management. Also, it breaking on the day we to deploy a large feature changes doesn't help my opinion.

Feedback: should have git integration, ability to quickly run tests without saving and exit the editor. syntax highlighting

Very easy to understand select dropdown options. Most of these templates are already set and ready to activate with minimal effort. Thumbs up!

It's quite a bit confusing to figure out which triggers will work for what you want to accomplish, but once you get there it's a major time saver.

It would be nice to have the trigger when customer unsubscribe to marketing email so I can remove the tag.

Ik vind het jammer dat je niet alle programma's kan linken, bijvoorbeeld appstle. Het zou ook leuk zijn moest het verschijnen van een nieuwe blog een event kunnen zijn, zodat je dan een email kan triggeren aan je klanten. Mijn klanten hebben geen rss-feed.

no multiple input for condition, no copy paste of nodes, the "wait" node does not support variables, the "maximum 91 days of wait" applied also for parallel workflow. so a simple task like "wait as many days as written in the tag of the order to send an email" bacame a nightmare.

Great, but we need more customisation option when it comes to User UI when desinging the template for our Customers email inbox

Flow is an easy-to-use app for automating different tasks. The app creates working automation when you know what logic to follow. Recently, I have used the app more after I noticed what it can do. Flow easily integrates different forms, orders, and emails. This is fine for an online store owner.

I just started using this and it's awesome. I've been waiting for a way to add customer tags and order tags based on certain criteria. I can now use to make segments and send emails in Klaviyo based on these actions.

I wish it had more ability to communicate with other third party apps - but Flow is an amazing free tool! Thank you Shopify!

Bisognerebbe snellire alcuni processi macchinosi. La visualizzazione in lavagna illimitata non è favorevole per lunghe automatizzazioni.

While I am still in the learning process, I liked it as it is easy to use as the more I learn how to create the Flow!

schwer bis gar nicht nachvollziehbar, für einen Laien der kein Liquid spricht, nicht möglich einen Workflow zu bauen.

Once you sit down and take the time to read and learn about this app, it can increase your sales, reduce abandoned carts, and offer additional benefits.

Great app for helping connect data and automations to multiple sources! One little bug when adding multiple criteria to a Flow. The page doesn't allow you to scroll when you are adding more than 2 pieces of criteria. I found a way around it but it was a little frustrating.
