Thank you for the kind review! I'm glad I could help you with the preorder setup. Happy to hear you had a good experience. We’re always here to help! Nagaraj | Technical Support Specialist
I would not recommend this app if you plan to do anything beyond the initial pre-order deposit. (their exact words) The app works fine for collecting the first payment, but once you get into post-preorder issues (remaining balance collection, billing mistakes, payment corrections), there is no real support or solution. If anything goes wrong, you’re stuck. I spent over an hour with their chat support trying to fix a payment collection issue. They initially tried to help, then another rep stepped in and told me to contact Shopify. Shopify then told me to contact the app developer. Meanwhile, nearly $2,000 is in limbo with no way to properly charge customers or correct the orders. The app cannot: -Recover from billing mistakes -Handle payment collection issues after preorder -Reset or fix partial payment workflows once something breaks If there’s any issue after the deposit, you’re on your own. My honest advice: skip partial payment apps entirely and use Shopify’s native preorder/payment system instead. It’s simpler, supported, and won’t leave you trapped between Shopify and a third-party app when something goes wrong. Save yourself the headache.
Hey there! I'm one of STOQ's founders - first, sincerely sorry that this happened. We actually do use Shopify's native preorder system - this is exactly why you ran into a platform limitation with collecting balance. It's a known bug in Shopify admin that collecting payments with "Collect payments" bulk action for Orders list does _not_ work for preorders. I raised this issue months ago when another store did the same thing you did, and had $100k+ in limbo. It required an escalation to Shopify's VP of Product to get everything corrected. They promised that it'd be fixed in future updates, but it seems like they haven't. I've escalated your issue to them again, in the hopes that they can fix it for you just like they did for the other store. More context here for anyone who's interested: https://x.com/heysandy801/status/1985528050658783552?s=20 I also want to take the moment to clarify a few things in your post - 1. If you used the app's actions or the single "Collect payment" button inside an order, everything would've worked fine. We actually have plenty of tools to help with payment collection (failed payment emails, collect in bulk, status tracking etc), but if an order is marked paid (which is what happened in your case), we simply cannot do anything without Shopify resetting the order's status. 2. It is correct that we cannot do anything beyond the deposit, but only if the order status is changed to "Paid". if the balance is marked collected in an unsupported way, there is nothing we can do to change it. 3. The only real solution is to contact Shopify. I've done that for you from my end too and I plan to follow up with them until you get your balance back. STOQ lives and dies on merchants selling preorders effectively and we work hard to make sure every brand is successful with their campaign - if there's one thing I care about, it is making sure that we do our absolute best. 4. When you use STOQ or any preorder app, all data related to your orders and payments stays in Shopify. There is nothing a third party has individual access to or controls exclusively - this is a good thing because it means Shopify can ultimately fix things if they step in. I've sent emails to you to follow up on this, and I'll continue working on getting your balance unstuck and resolved. I'd appreciate you replying to me so we can figure things out and get this resolved. :) I hope you can see from all our other reviews that we take our work seriously - and just like everyone else that's had a positive experience with us, I'm sure we'll turn this around for you. - Sandesh / CEO
App is easy to install and works perfect. As soon as I installed the app Paul from support got in touch. I asked if he could do some adjustments to the pre-order button and to hide the "pick up" text if a product is a pre-order. He did that super fast , excellent customer service!
