Plantboy has been amazing to use with my Shopify store! They have been responsive any time I've had questions and even jumped on a call when I was first getting started to help walk me through the process and how the app worked. We haven't had a single issue with any of the plants that have been ordered, everything's packaged nicely and safely. They even automatically include cold-weather packaging when necessary, unlike other plant drop-shippers. I've been using the app for a little under a year now and don't have anything bad to say. I'm stoked to keep growing my small business with Plantboy!!

I can't even install it. It just opens "https://app.withplantboy.com", and doesn't "connect" anything to the store. A waste of my life trying to get this to work. Fire your developer immediately.

I love their inventory, and their shipping -- when it works. I've had at least two instances when all the products completely disconnected from my store and more recently, I couldn't add products to my store. I've tried to uninstall the app; now it won't let me reinstall it -- and I have an order to fulfill with them.... so I'm faced with either going to buy the plant and shipping it from elsewhere, or refunding the money. I'd absolutely love to work with them more as a partner, but they need get some stability to this product.

We hesitate writing this review because, as a small business owner, we know how much these can affect our business, but working with vendors affects our business too and I think it's important for other business owners to be aware of what it's like to work with Plantboy. We no longer work with them because, as others have stated, there is zero customer service and help. We had to issue a refund for a customer because the order never synced with PlantBoy. After multiple rounds of emails to them through various channels over 2 weeks, we could not get a hold of anyone to help us remedy this issue. The customer never got the plant, we lost out on sales, and PlantBoy was unreachable. This is not at all acceptable to us as a small business and the service that we provide our customers. We gave them 2 stars instead of 1 because the one order that did go through all the way worked seamlessly and the plant was very good quality. It was even larger than we expected. We had hoped to work with them closely, but with a complete lack of communication and customer service to help us resolve issues for our customers, we will not be working with them again.

Like an earlier review said, customer service is non-existent. If you have a problem you will NOT get a response. They have fundamental errors in there fulfillment app with syncing and displaying correct inventory. A great idea but not all the way there yet, too good to be true for now.

Pretty disappointing. First time user, there was a customer who canceled an order that had already been sent for fulfillment but not paid. Another customer needed the address updated. none of these changes synced to plant boy and it wants you to pay for all three orders, even if you only need the one right then. Customer service is non existent and highly unacceptable. They will respond to you in 4 days, which is bad considering we tell people 5-7 business days. There should be a deidictaed team to customer service, and if there is, it should be doubled. I ended up just uninstalling and reinstalling and that cleared the wrong orders out. thankfully I will not be using Plantboy or I would have to go set up each product all over again. Overall, the poorly built system didn't make me look great in front of my new customers because plant boy is unavailable for assistance. I have to say I’m shocked. I would find another supplier, they're really expensive anyway. I’ve always wanted a plant shop, so I’m starting the process on it all and figured this would be a good step. It was a little disheartening to receive no response over several days both times I’ve contacted them. Customers don’t give us that much time.

PlantBoy is THE answer to anyone wanting to grow an online plant business without all of the hardest things about running a plant business like growing, inventory, packing, and shipping! Download the app, connect your store, and start sharing PlantBoys beautiful, healthy plants with your audience. Their customer service is fantastic and their plants are high quality. I can't say enough good things about this company, its products, and its people.

This app is fantastic! The PlantBoy team is super responsive and they always go above and beyond to help. Plant quality is top tier, and they also have a very quick and swift shipment process. Orders are never delayed. Navigating the app is a breeze, and it easily integrates with Shopify. Highly recommend!

We have been using the Plantboy app for a little while now and are extremely satisfied with the interface, the integration but above all the team behind the App that supports our day to day order intake, fulfillment and handling. The team's technical know how is backed up by solid operational skills and service levels. They know what they are doing and my customers are very happy with the orders we service through Plantboy. 100% Recommend.
