Bookvault
The reviews for the BookVault Shopify App are mixed, with both positive and negative feedback. On the positive side, users appreciate the app for simplifying the process of printing and handling books, as well as the automatic shipping features. The integration with Shopify is mentioned as working well, and the support from BookVault is highlighted as outstanding. However, on the negative side, several users experienced glitches and issues with linking their store to BookVault. Some users mentioned that the app used to work well but has become problematic recently, especially when trying to connect paperbacks as variants of ebooks. The lack of consistency in the app's performance was frustrating for some users.

Come on, Bookvault. Get your act together - look at the reviews here. Like others, when I click 'add to Bookvault' on the product page, I can't log in to the Bookvault portal at the next step. Cookies cleared, in a separate browser, in an entirely different browser - doesn't matter. I've come to think that the only way to get through is to struggle for 45 minutes. I'm a busy mum with small children, I don't have 45 minutes to waste crossing my fingers and hoping a plugin will do its job. Can Bookvault give any reassurance that they are working to fix this, or are we all going to Lulu? I would think, considering reviews date from months ago, that they don't intend to fix it. I will also add that Bookvault's site is glitchy. Particularly the barcode aspects of the file upload. I'm sure Bookvault wants this to run smoothly, but there are a few things that need attention. Very frustrating in its current state.
So glitchy and not working all the titles say sold out and it won't let me unlink the store on the bookvault end it's a nightmare
Cannot get this to work. It is installed, but when I click "open" it navigates me out of Shopify and into BookVault with no way to connect the two. The BookVault tutorials do not show it happening this way.
Bookvault USED to work great. No longer does. If you create paperbacks as variants of ebooks, the app will not let you connect the paperback to the Bookvault store. It used to allow this. I have over 200 books where this procedure worked correctly. I've been in contact with Bookvault about this and NONE of their work arounds helped. I'm going to have to switch to Lulu in order to sell my paperback books from my store.
It's very meh. When it works, it's great. But more often than not when I try to link the paperback on my store to the book on Bookvault it doesn't work. It just glitches when I'm trying to sign in. And yes, I cleared my cookies, tried a new browser etc, and it still only seems to work when the planets are all aligned and no black cat crosses my path that day. The lack of consistency is truly frustrating.
