We were excited to partner with EcoCart as an eco-conscious business, but after onboarding, your widget isn’t working and we’ve received no support—emails ignored, meeting canceled last minute, scheduled a new meeting yesterday late afternoon again and it was canceled again. This is disappointing and unprofessional. We need a resolution ASAP. UPDATE: Marina finally was able to get ahold of me and apologized for the delay as they, I guess, don't have a team right now to manage live meetings so I am not sure why they gave that option on their website, but she was able to get my issue resolved! 4 stars for the way they handled the issue and delay. I hope they can improve the speed of their customer service for time sensitive issues like these.
I'm extremely disappointed with my experience using EcoCart for our website. Initially, their team was responsive and communicative, but once we activated payments, they suddenly became unresponsive. We've been waiting for over two months for a reply regarding a specific case, and it feels like they've ghosted us. I've sent multiple emails (three, to be exact), but there's been complete radio silence. The lack of support and communication is alarming, and I've started to question the legitimacy of this app. It's unacceptable that there's no clear way to contact their team or get assistance when issues arise. While the idea of carbon-neutral orders is great, the poor customer support and unresponsive team make it difficult to recommend EcoCart to others. Hopefully, they'll take steps to improve their support and communication channels. Until then, I'd caution others to think twice before using this app.
Although I like the product and the installation process was quick and smooth, we've been with EcoCart for over 6 months and each time we have been overbilled. I've emailed each time regarding this issue and promised it is fixed, including a guarantee from VP of Sales Trevor Fox, and yet it keeps happening. Unfortunately it has happened again this past month, and despite emailing my CSM and Trevor twice now, I have yet to hear a response—completely unprofessional. If it wasn't for such poor customer service, at even the VP level, I would give 5 stars.
We are genuinely sorry to hear about your experience with EcoCart, and we deeply appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback, despite the challenges you've faced. It's clear that you value our product and had a positive start with the quick and smooth installation process, which makes it even more disheartening to hear that the billing issues have negatively impacted your experience. We understand how frustrating it must be to encounter repeated billing issues despite assurances from our team, including a personal guarantee from Trevor Fox, our former VP of Sales. Your expectation for these issues to be resolved, especially after raising them directly with us, is completely reasonable. Regarding the latest incident you've mentioned, it occurred due to us making necessary adjustments to the offsetting calculations specific to your store. Unfortunately, these adjustments coincided with the passing of the 1st of the month—our standard billing timeframe—leading to an erroneous charge. Please know that we recognized this mistake promptly and have since resolved the issue, adjusting the billing accordingly.
Several of our apps and even our 3PL are having a hard time working with Eco Cart with the way it's setup, creating a new variation/sku each time an order is placed. EcoCart tried to help, but they cannot change the fundamental way they are setup. We are going to have to remove the app.
Thank you for providing this feedback and highlighting that EcoCart did everything we could to support your 3PL integration. Please note that over the last two years our Customer Success team has worked deeply with 3PL providers to create easy integration guides during our onboarding process. We have created onboarding plans with nearly all 3PL’s on the market today.
We highly DISCOURAGE the use of Ecocart and will never recommend it again. We disabled the app from September 2021 after finding an alternate solution and confirming with the team that we wouldn't be charged moving forward. However, they began charging us again in January, explained that they had migrated to a newer version of their widget so it was automatically enabled on our store again; this was done WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. Furthermore, given that they have retired the offsets for donations collected, there won't be any refunds. We cannot trust a company that is not transparent with their updates or integrations and continues to charge without any warning even after we disabled it. Although we support carbon neutral delivery, there are many alternative, more trustworthy solutions available, and we do not recommend Ecocart.
Hello there - Thank you for the feedback you provided. We are truly sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during this transition period. First and foremost, we want to acknowledge the frustration and inconvenience caused by the migration to our new billing system. It seems that, during this process, EcoCart was still installed in your store, and unfortunately, the widget was merely hidden, leading to unexpected charges. Please know that our team acted swiftly upon realizing that a small group of our customers, including yourself, were impacted by this oversight. We have issued refunds for those mistaken charges. This incident was a one-time error on our part, and we assure you that measures have been put in place to prevent such an occurrence from happening again in the future. Your trust in us is paramount, and we sincerely apologize for any distress this situation has caused you.
