The Original Organic Company review for Preorder, Back In Stock ‑ STOQ

Hi there, I'm one of the app's founders. Truly sorry for the experience you had. Completely understand that you weren't happy and I'd love to add a bit of context on what happened. STOQ uses native Shopify technology end-to-end, and one of them is metafields - custom data stored directly in Shopify so that your storefront shows the preorder widget with no delay. When you change settings in STOQ's dashboard, we sync those changes with Shopify through metafields. In some cases, those updates don’t refresh as expected and older values can continue to show despite us explicitly asking Shopify to reset or update the data stored in metafields. This rarely happens, but it happened in your case a couple of times very likely due to incorrect caching logic for your store. Since we started talking about this issue with you, I've been working closely with my co-founder to improve how STOQ handles these edge cases. We’re already making changes to add extra safeguards - a custom built solution - to ensure that old, stuck values in metafields do not degrade the preorder widget's reliability for anyone. We genuinely care about our merchants and the trust they place in us. We're going to do everything we can to take this feedback seriously and make STOQ more reliable. Thanks for trying us out and for taking the time to share your experience. All the very best with your store and if you ever consider giving STOQ another chance in the future, I'd love to work with you personally to get you up and running. :) - Sandesh / CEO at STOQ
