I would not recommend. Really poor support (none). Although one of my questions was answered, the lack of support was dreadful. No answers for hours (at all) and the function does not work to book a 121 session. Total silence when I had quite simple queries. Have gone with a different app that can support me.

I typically don’t leave negative reviews, as I recognize the impact they can have on small businesses. However, I believe it's important to share my experience. I reached out several times for assistance with technical issues that have hindered my ability to use the app for over five months. The only resolution offered was a $30 credit, which covers just one month. I hope that by sharing this, other small businesses can be aware of potential challenges and avoid the loss of time and resources that I encountered.
Thank you for taking the time to post this review. We see these as an opportunity to learn and grow. It is worth noting that the technical issues you mentioned were not caused by BundleBuilder. We took time to demonstrate this clearly during our many interactions with you, and you confirmed that you understood. In fact, we went out of our way to help, including offering free development services to help you find a workaround for these issues that were not related to our app. We also credited you $30 because we empathized with your plight, not because you were owed compensation, and we took care to explain that clearly as well, which you acknowledged. To be honest, I am very disappointed to see this review, because we tried our best to be transparent and set clear expectations throughout our engagement with you, and I don't believe we've received the same in return. But I do hope you manage to resolve the problems on your store, and I truly wish you and your business all the best going forward. Hannes Bez | Director of Customer Experience

After the new release, the app is not supporting to any 3rd party payment gateways. Also support is very bad and not helpful.
Hi, thanks for your review. We are now using the Shopify Bundles API, which only works with Shopify Payment processing. We will ensure to communicate that to our merchants in the future. We are here if there is anything we can do outside of this to help you!

The app is not working well, lots of bugs and you will face problem with your inventory and of course the support is slow like the app slows down your website.
Hi there! We have recently updated our app and have very few bugs! If you want to give us another try, we are here and ready to help 🫡

Edited from 1 star: Our business encountered some very frustrating issues with the app that have recently been resolved. The process was lengthy due to back and forth communication and trying to determine which side the issue was on. I initially wasn't happy with the responses we got from Bundle Builder requesting help. That being said, as soon as Hannes from the customer service team reached out it really turned things around. He was very on top of communicating with me about timelines and how they were working behind the scenes to figure out the issues. Ultimately it was a long process to get there, but I did feel that he genuinely cared about helping us out. I still find that the user interface isn't the most straightforward, but we will continue to use Bundle Builder, as I'm much more confident in the customer service we received - it made all the difference.
Hi Hilary, I'm so sorry about the poor experience you've had with us. It's true that the technical issue isn't actually being caused by BundleBuilder, but we definitely could (and should) have handled this better. I'll be reaching out to you directly to see if there's anything I can do to help clear this up for you and hopefully restore your trust. Hannes Bez | Director of Customer Experience

There's pretty much only one rule for software: if you're going to significantly change it, you need to warn your users with plenty of lead time. That's doubly true if you're removing a core feature. - This app no longer works with subscriptions, an absolutely core feature. Not only that, but they promoted this update for months via email, and never once mentioned that subscriptions would no longer be supported. - In fact, this very app page currently promotes the app as supporting subscriptions, which is false. They haven't even bothered to update this page. - Go to their website and search the term "subscription." What do you find? No mention anywhere that subscriptions are no longer supported. - After their update broke this core function of our website we spent days reaching out to them trying to figure out how to fix it, only to have our issue finally escalated to then be told 'yeah that features gone.' - No remorse, no apology, no 'oh oops, in our weeks of spam emails about this major update we forgot to mention that a core feature would be removed, sorry about breaking your website.' - It's obvious that they prioritized keeping clients paying over informing their clients, and decided to go for a "so sorry that happened" approach over a "heads up this is what's coming" approach. - Even if there is no way to continue to support subscriptions based on the new API (doubtful but let's assume) they should still notify everyone in advance that subscriptions will no longer be supported, it should be stated on their website at least somewhere, and it should be on this very app page, and certainly should no longer be promoted as supporting subscriptions on this page (!). - Sadly, I would not recommend trusting your business to this team, as there is no knowing when they'll pull the rug out from under you and your customers, and their practices of misrepresenting their features here as I type this, in addition to their decision not to forewarn users that subscriptions would be broken, are both inexcusable for any app.
[UPDATED REPLY] Thanks for taking the time to write this honest review. I'm truly sorry about the poor experience you've had since our major upgrade. I know we've lost your trust, but we've still reached out to you by direct email to see if there's anything we can do to improve and hopefully fix the situation. Hannes Bez | Director of Customer Experience [PREVIOUS REPLY] Thank you so much for your wonderful review! This is one of the best reviews we've received so far, and we appreciate your input. Your feedback and suggestions are highly valued as these are what help us continue to improve our app. Hopefully, we'll be able to implement the changes in our next update. There are no words to express how grateful we are for your candid feedback. Please let us know if you require assistance; you know how to reach us! Cheers

Instead of the order coming through with the individual SKUS, they get added as "Notes" to some randomly generated new SKU. Way to ruin inventory tracking and make it impossible for fulfillment. STAY AWAY
Hi Peter, This is Sharky, Team Supervisor here at BoxBuilder. I understand you're frustrated with the issue you've encountered with inventory tracking. We'd love to help you out and get this sorted! This is a common issue that our merchants encounter when the app is not properly set up. I've reached out to you through e-mail to offer assistance and figure out how we can get this fixed. I hope to hear from you soon! Respectfully yours, Sharky Team Supervisor - BoxBuilder

I attempted to use this app for my website, sugar-rushed.shop, now for about a month and have found it was very successful in the beginning but quickly began to fall apart with there being constant issues persisting with the app. This includes the main being a complete loss of functionality based on a neverending loading loop when accessing the product bundles setup using the app. I have waited and waited for support to help me in this matter but there is absolutely no support and this is starting to feel like highway robbery.
Thank you for this honest review. I sincerely apologize for the issues you've encountered with our app, I understand where you're coming from. I also understand how important it is to receive a prompt response from support when needed, I'm sorry that we've disappointed you. This is not the kind of customer experience we would like you to have. I'll reach out to you personally and hopefully, you'd give us a chance to make your experience better. Again, I apologize. I hope to hear from you soon. Respectfully yours, Sharky Team Supervisor - BoxBuilder

DO NOT DOWNLOAD - THIS APP IS NOT SUPPORTED. From Shopify: "BoxBuilder: DIY Product Bundle is currently unsupported...it may not work as expected until the developer updates it. You can contact the developer for support or uninstall the app and find an alternative in the Shopify App Store." We've had this installed since October and it has gone down multiple times for large swaths of time. Their latest patch fails to load or fix the issues. Customer's are building boxes and then left hanging (it never actually gets to the checkout point), Super disappointed in the product and the "customer service". We're actively looking for a new app as there are/were too many problems over an extended period of time. Save yourself the aggravation and avoid BoxBuilder: DIY Product Bundle by Staytuned.
Thank you for your honest review. We've clearly let you down here. I'm sorry about that. I'll be reaching out to you personally to see if we can turn this experience around for you. I do want to note here that the message you're seeing from Shopify in your store admin that BoxBuilder is "not supported" refers to the fact that our app is currently making an API call to an unsupported endpoint (which will be fixed very soon). It does not mean that we do not offer support for the app. We definitely do offer customer service and support. That said, after reviewing your tickets with us, I agree that our support crew was not responsive enough to your needs. That's not the standard we set for ourselves. Again, I apologize. I hope you'll give us another chance to address the issues you've been struggling with. Best regards, Hannes Bez Director of Customer Experience

App is broken... developers have not fixed the app. We've lost a day and a half in sales... very disappointed and the lack of urgency shows the lack of customer care.
Hi team! I'm really sorry about the issues you're experiencing with BoxBuilder! This morning, our development team deployed a necessary update to improve the stability and functionality of our app for a better user experience for you and your customers. Unfortunately, despite careful testing prior to rollout, this update caused some unexpected errors. Our team has now implemented a fix for those issues and restored BoxBuilder to full functionality. To restore full app functionality: Please open BoxBuilder admin. You will be redirected to an update page. Follow the instructions on that page. That should get you back up and running again. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We truly value your business and are committed to providing you with the best possible app experience. We'll keep you in the loop if anything changes and we'll also reach out to you on a separate email.

I was VERY disappointed in their customer service. I started trying to get the app integrated into my online shop on March 27 and still did not have things working smoothly by May 2nd. We were up against a wall as we wanted to launch for Mother's Day and needed time to market the new product line and build awareness. On May 3rd, after not hearing back from them and having no resolve, I deleted the app and went with a different one that I had up and running by the next day with no issues. We lost sales and too many hours of my time working through the issues with this app. When I requested a refund for the month of April, because I was not able to use their product due to issues, I was told that their policy would not allow me to be refunded. Very unhappy and disappointed.
Thanks for taking the time to write this detailed review. I'm disappointed that we couldn't meet your needs. I recognize and can understand why you'd feel frustrated after this experience. However, I have to admit that things look a little different from my perspective. My support team did their best to assist you, and after reviewing the entire case in detail, I believe they did their job well. As for the refund request, I was the person who denied that request, and upon reflection, I got that wrong. I will follow up with you by email to discuss further. I'm aware you chose another solution for your business. I wish we could've figured out a way to keep you on board as a customer, but I do hope the other solution works out well for you and Swon & Company manages to thrive. Regards, Hannes Bez | Director of Customer Experience - Box Builder (Staytuned)

Great interface, terrible support. Been waiting four days for a response to why they're not showing fully on our website. With it coming to the weekend we are swapping to a new app. Very disappointing as the attention to detail on the interface is great, the customer service is not.
Hi there, thanks for reaching out to us about this. I know we've already worked with you to identify the problem and a potential solution since you posted this review, and I'm confident we're on the verge of turning this situation around, but I'd still like to apologize for leaving you in the lurch and not communicating clearly with your team earlier. This will remain a top priority for us until we've confirmed you're happy with the resolution. Regards, Hannes Bez | Director of Customer Experience

Extremely glitchy and comes up with an error page when adding to cart daily. We've been communicating with support and they haven't managed to solve the issue. They said it's due to: A: The store had likely manually deleted/edited the variants of the product included in the bundle B: The store made modifications/changes in the product that is included in the bundle. C: Numerous changes in the builder setting. Nothing has been done on our end. We've received many emails from customers about not being able to add the kit to cart.
Thanks for touching base. I'm really sorry about your poor experience so far. I don't like that our communications to you made it sound like you might somehow be causing these issues without complete clarity on how and why that might be occurring - I'll be working with my team to improve on that. I know we've already escalated this to high priority with our tech team and you're still working closely with support to solve the problem. I'll be overseeing this scenario until we resolve it for you. Thank you for your patience. Hannes Bez | Customer Experience Lead - Staytuned (Box Builder)

There is no support with this app and has a major glitch. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT GET THIS APP.
Hey Studio on Tenth, We've emailed you to try to help you through this. Our app is fully supported, and we are here to work with you to make a great builder! Thanks for taking the time to review. Hopefully we can work with you over email, or a meeting to sort everything out!

Emailed support repeatedly over several weeks and get no response. Not acceptable when there are issues to fix & we're paying for an app to work.
Hey there, Thanks for this review, and for being open to us trying to fix your experience. We really appreciate your replies to our emails, and for your availability on the Google Meet so we could work through your issues. We *think* we resolved your issue, but just reach out if anything else comes up! Thanks!

DO NOT download this app - when it stops working, there is literally zero customer service. Zero response. We're scrambling to find a replacement since this is non-functioning and no one will get back to us after FOUR DAYS of repeated inquiries.
I sincerely apologize for the issues you've encountered with our app, and for the unacceptable response time from our support team. I understand how important it is to receive a prompt response from support when needed, I'm sorry that we've disappointed you, we've clearly let you down. I'll reach out to you personally and hopefully, you'd give us a chance to make your experience better. Again, I apologize. I hope to hear from you soon. Respectfully yours, Sharky Team Supervisor - BoxBuilder
