If you value your time, stay away. Pros: Good user interface, option to add personalized products, customer care team available 24/7, and chats are responded to within minutes Cons: Everything? Prices are defaulted to EU, so all time spent configuring prices for each variant will be erased and a random price shows up on your listing each time you save. So many glitches setting up the personalized products and no support. Staff are available 24/7 and respond to live chat within minutes but if you don't reply within 5 minutes, they will close the chat and mark it as resolved due to "inactivity" even if issue has not been resolved. You are expected to wait hours for them to respond if they tell you to wait, but as soon as they respond and you happen not to be online at that time, they will close chat within 5 minutes. Imagine waiting 12 hours or more for them to investigate then as soon as they respond they expect you to be online that second. When you go to their live chat with an issue and they say they will get back to you with an email, just lower your expectations as they will likely either never follow up, one sidedly mark issue as resolved, or blame the issue on your theme because they are perfect. because of their lack of accountability, I even sent them an organized bulleted list of the issues I'm having, as expected they said they'll get back to me via email and asked me to record screen of the issue even though I already wrote down all the details, still entertained them by recording my screen, no response. Crickets. Spent TWO WEEKS trying to set up one product, imagine that. I'm out. In conclusion. Their time is valuable, yours isn't. Update: They said they'll follow up with an email and asked me for a screen recording of the issues despite having already organized them in a list for them, but i recorded my screen and sent them the video anyways. I emailed again to check if there's updates, they asked me to send them examples/screen recording again, then never responded again. The level of disrespect and lack of care for customers is appalling. Luckily I found a much more powerful customization app, uninstalling this joke rn, want my time back. --- Another update- Not to sound petty with this update but I reached out to them again to check in on their "resolution" and if they checked the screenshots and screen recordings they asked for, but they ghosted me. They don't even bother to respond. Ms Paulina, if you wanna work in customer service, then actually do know basic customer service etique like actually responding, following up and providing resolutions you promise. In conclusion, they are not reliable at all.

Unfortunately after 2 weeks of trying to resolve a problem with my store, I am giving up to find a new merch supplier and will need to refund my customers. I've not had any real attempt to resolve my problem as far as I can tell. I've had at least 5 or 6 emails saying sorry it is taking so long after I needed to reach out for follow-up, but nothing else. It's disappointing because it seems the majority of users have had good experiences with this app and it seems to have great products, but unfortunately I will never be able to experience them it seems.

Nice idea. But support has been abysmal. I really hope they can fix things. If not, we're out. Just don't expect good support.

Could not order a sample because it said Delivery for submitted combination of products isn't possible to chosen destination to a Florida address. Product said it can be shipped to USA.

Giving this App a one-star rating. Why? The app appeared in my Shopify Embed Apps. When I did a test product, the left gallery on the product page had an ugly window pane scroll. I switched off the Gelato App and the ugly scroll disappeared. I contacted support (Emilia) 2 weeks ago and she couldn't explain what was wrong but said the problem would be escalated to tech. 2 weeks later no contact from any support so I wrote another email to support. Nothing. Today (28th June I went online to try to contact support again. Said under 2 minutes. I was still hanging on after 15. Maybe this Shopify feedback page for Gelato is monitored more. So forced to come here and complain. Support rating -5.

Die App hat uns auf ganzer Linie enttäuscht. Sie führte dazu, dass unser Buy Button nicht mehr funktioniert hat, was unseren Shop mehrere Tage lahm gelegt hat. Leider keine Option.

I removed the app a year ago and just realized you were charging me for an entire year $14.99/mo. I checked the account and it showed I didn't have a subscription because I canceled it a year ago. SO SHADY.
