Es ging wirklich einfach bisher, ich konnte ein Bild als fine art poster einfach generieren. Aber einen Stern ziehe ich ab, weil ich erstens nirgends etwas über die hochzuladende Auflösung gefunden habe (ca 40 Minuten gesucht) und zum zweiten mir nicht klar ist (20 Minuten gesucht), ob die Nutzung der App wirklich kostenlos ist, oder nur 30Tage - und dann? Automatisches kostenpflichtiges Abbo? Im Verlauf der Erstellung wurde mir aber das upgrade auf Gelato: Print on Demand + angeboten, so dass ich davon ausgehe, dass die Appnutuzng in seiner Basisform wirklich kosenlos ist.

I was having difficulty connecting gelato to my Shopify and the customer service representative who emailed me was patient and explained to me what the problem was and how to solve it

It has been a pleasure learning how to use this app to start an apparel store with Shopify. The integration has been easy and I enjoy the personalization feature.

Tried Gelato hoping for an easy setup, but the platform feels clunky and confusing. Navigation isn’t intuitive, and basic tasks like updating products or making changes take way more time than they should. The system seems buggy at times, which just adds to the frustration. Definitely not the smooth experience I expected.

I just installed it a few minutes ago and I can't believe how easily I was able to integrate it with my store, add a new product and get it all ready to go. It's also really nice to see that prices are way lower than competitive print on demand companies.

Gelato takes my entire drop ship responsibility. If it is my fault I can work with customer. If it is gelato fault they will work with customer.

Problemas con la app. Hubo una actualización y desde entonces cada vez que realizo un cambio en un producto, desaparecen todas las variantes. Y a causa de esto perdí las ventas de Black Friday, Navidad, rebajas de enero, San Valentín... Creo que he tenido mucha paciencia y muchas pérdidas económicas y al principio llegaron a decirme que yo no era una prioridad, ni me respondían, tuvo que intervenir atención al cliente de Shopify porque dijeron que el problema era de Shopify, pero Shopify confirmó que el problema era de la app de Gelato, y así, lograron que me contestasen, pero cada vez era esperar a que contestaran unos días, iban dejando pasar el tiempo, por último cada vez me pedían más pruebas, grabaciones de pantalla y todo para nada. Nunca solucionaron el problema. Les pedí que trasladaran todas mis cosas (método de pago, wallet, mi tienda con mis artículos...) a una nueva cuenta, para ver si así funcionaba todo bien desde otra cuenta porque antes de la actualización iba todo perfecto, insistí varias veces en eso y nunca respondieron a mi petición. Y no podía estar creando el mismo producto una y otra vez tanto en Gelato como en Shopify, porque al cambiar un diseño, o añadir una talla o quitarla, añadir un color o quitarlo, etc. daba el error y se borraba todo. Así que al final tuve que cambiar de proveedor de POD. Con lo fácil que hubiera sido decir, bueno, vamos a cambiarte a una nueva cuenta, haz la cuenta, y te pasamos a la wallet lo que tienes, el resto tienes que hacerlo de nuevo. De todas formas estaba haciéndolo todo de nuevo una y otra vez, no me hubiera importado. Pero ya viendo todo el tiempo que ha pasado y no hay solución. Os digo adios. Ya no me valen las disculpas, ni que digáis que sabéis lo importante que es esto o aquello, y que aún estoy a tiempo de hablar de nuevo con soporte, etc. Lo que teníais que haber hecho, no lo hicisteis cuando debíais. Espero que al resto de clientes les vaya bien, porque a mí, me han tratado fatal. Todo con muy bonitas palabras, pero realmente ningún interés en solucionar el problema, por esto digo lo de tratarme fatal, y por decir que yo no era una prioridad.

Gelato? More like melted ice cream—looks good at first, but quickly turns into a mess. The platform is full of surprises (not the good kind), with bugs that pop up like uninvited guests at a party. Features seem to be added without much testing, so expect some fun adventures in 'why isn't this working today?' land. If you enjoy troubleshooting more than selling, this might be the app for you! Otherwise, you might want to grab a real gelato and find a smoother solution elsewhere.

Absolutely the best PoD interface I have ever used. The ability to create variants and THEN LINK THEM TO MULTIPLE PRODUCTS is absolutely amazing.

It's a fairly simple process and what I can't figure out y'all or the cat bought helps me figure out so I appreciate all of your staff for that and the walkthrough on how to set my prices and how to connect my stores to y'all I'm just so far had an overall good experience if that changes I'll let you know

i left a messed up review and they still contacted me and gave me the info to correct the application when they didnt have to. It works well. They even reached out to be sure that the fix was working. Thanks.

Useless. Connected, disconnected, reconnected several times. Wont publish to store. Doesn't work. Doesn't explain why or give an actual error message. Waste of time.

I agree with the bad reviews. The customer service is quite terrible. Our customers wouldn't receive their orders and Gelato refuses to refund them referring to their "refund" policy. One order got cancelled because they were missing one size of a T-Shirt. However, instead of refunding the order to our credit card, they gave us a credit note on account that is not being used when orders are automatically created - wtf... The most annoying though is that most of the print products are not great quality. Very thin paper. The calendars are printed on both sides of the paper so that you can see through the pages. The posters are very thin... not great feedback from customers. We are going to stop using their service, mostly due to annoying customer support that is nor friendly and rather contra productive. After using it for around 30 days, I would say it is not really worth it. Very high prices, low quality and bad support.

Gelato minskar tiden mellan att lägga upp filer till produkter till leverans. Snabbt och smidigt. Användarvänligheten är överlag bra. Service snabb.

A warning to my fellow sellers: Hidden Price Hikes and Broken Trust: Why I'm changing from Gelato I’ve been a loyal customer of Gelato for several years, but my frustrations with this company have steadily grown, and this latest issue is the final straw. While Gelato is quick to send emails announcing price reductions, they’ve hidden significant price increases from customers. Both products I sell have undergone significant price increases in a short period of time. Premium matte paper has increased by over 15% since I last checked in September, and premium frames with premium paper have risen by over 16%. For example, the price of a 70x100 premium frame with premium paper has increased by a staggering €25.43, now priced at €194.91 (in Ireland). Discovering these price hikes only through my own records feels dishonest and unprofessional. There are also shocking price differences between countries. For example, the exact same 70x100 frame costs €90.82 in Germany, while in the neighbouring Netherlands it is priced at €190.30—almost €100 more for the identical product. How can such extreme price discrepancies exist, let alone be justified? How are businesses expected to price their products consistently with such wild and unpredictable variations? This isn’t the only issue. Over the years, I’ve dealt with numerous problems: orders lost in the post, items arriving damaged, and prints of poor quality. As Gelato have grown as a company their service has become gradually worse. This Christmas just gone was a disaster for orders, especially in the US. I had some customers waiting into earlier January for orders they made in late Nov/early Dec. These ongoing issues combined with their lack of transparency have made it clear I can no longer trust them as a supplier. For anyone considering Gelato, I’d strongly advise looking elsewhere. I’ve reached the point where I can no longer justify working with a company that treats its customers this way and will be actively looking for a new supplier to take over my orders.
