The Olive Grove review for Zapiet ‑ Pickup + Delivery

May 14, 2020

As others said, support/any communication with this app is non-existant. 14/05/2020 -Edit: Support has been much more responsive and helpful once contact with the company was established- That would not be an issue if the knowledge-base covered all its issues and people could just do it themselves. The app has been successfully installed and is "working" indeed. That is the postcode widget works, the checkout works and the delivery zones and rates work. The annoying zapietld can be removed(for the customer but not the admin in the orders page) and the app can be integrated onto any theme following their instructions easily. Awesome on the front end! But, and that is a huge BUT what about the backend? EDIT: Retracted Point 1, this was an error due to the accelerated checkout. All the orders appear when the accelerated checkout is disengaged. This could indeed be found in their knowledge-base but was not part of the setup process. 1) Orders DO NOT appear in the App Dashboard, they do only if and when they feel like it! Managing orders by date & time to be delivered(rather than created) becomes impossible because from 10 live orders you might get 5 or 6 of them to appear and the rest are somewhere in outer space, never to be seen again. This makes the app kind of useless for its intended purpose. As staff cannot use this app to manage the orders from the app backend. You might think that one of the other Print or Order management apps could perhaps take over and simply use Zapiet as an in-between but after trying them all I must report that none of them have the functionality to sort orders by the delivery date and time that Zapiet has fed into them. They are there as notes though. This really puts us in front of a wall as fast-paced environments require fast-paced and reliable software to be able to keep up. 2) Date Format, Zapiet passes all orders in this format YYYY-MM-DD, which is not very convenient in the UK, this may not be a problem for low volume store with few orders but for bulk orders it opens itself up for a lot of mistakes to be made. Funny that in 2020 software still struggles to give the user the option to see the date format in his/her own preference.
