Impact Gift Boutique review for Etsy Integration ‑ CedCommerce

Sept. 25, 2025

This app is TERRIBLE. I used it for a very short while because during that time I had so many issues that did not get resolved. The support was wonderful at first especially with helping get it installed and set up. They tried to get me to leave a review immediately and thankfully Shopify will not allow reviews if you're in a trial phase. *DO NOT* leave a review until you have been using it for a while and be *WARY* of the positive reviews on here because they try to get you to leave a review anytime you use support. They were great in the beginning (perhaps the reason for all the 5 star reviews since they push you to review right away) but I quickly found that would not be the longer term experience. But then - when I had issues that I contacted them about they would tell me they would get back with me within a certain timeframe only to not do so. I had to follow up with them and the issues I had were not getting resolved. Finally I uninstalled it and they begged me to re-install. When I would not, they begged me to set up a meeting to discuss the issues, claiming they just wanted to learn what happened to improve. I was willing but I requested a refund because I had paid for a full year up front. They denied my request at first, then told me I would get a refund when I pointed out they were stealing my money if they did not refund me for the amount covering the time I was not using the app. I told them I would challenge the entire amount through the payment processor if they would not agree to refund for the time I had not used the app. Once I saw the refund, I said I would schedule a meeting. They continued asking me to schedule it, said the refund was coming it and *of course* it never showed up. Weeks had passed by this time and then I had to wait additional weeks to go through the dispute process. I kept all documentation which served me well because I finally got the refund from the payment processor. *BEWARE* of using this app. Look at the other negative reviews -- I wish I had before installing it. It was a nightmare overall. I have found another app that is amazing - have been using it for several months and it's a night and day difference. It is one of the ones with the tag "Built for Shopify" which I think could be part of what makes the difference. ETA- As you can see in their response, my case did not fall under their "refund" policy -- which basically is *NO REFUND*. But they did agree to refund me when I stated charging me for months I was not using the app was stealing and refused to re-install or agree to a meeting, which I have documentation of -- the reason the payment processor refunded the money to me after weeks of trying to get it from CED commerce and then gathering and sending all of my documentation of what happened in. So *BUYER BEWARE* -- KNOW BEFORE you buy and absolutely *DO NOT* pay for a year in advance regardless of the discounted price because as you see from their response and my experience, even if they agree to refund you it will *NOT* happen on their end. You will have to challenge through your bank or Paypal and make sure you document *EVERYTHING* well.
