It's helpful once you set it up but its very difficult to set up a flow. Not intuitive at all.
July 8, 2025
Flow is really cool when you get it to work, but getting it to work is a challenge. The conditions aren't intuitive. For example, I was trying to check if an order was selected for In Store Pickup, and trying to find the right option for Pickup was a struggle. There were so many "delivery option" conditions and only one of them was the right one to make the Flow work. I feel like this was made for the developers of Shopify who know what all the backend names are, and it isn't made for the normal users who aren't familiar with the code.

Need more flexibility checking and acting just anything I can do in the product admin.

It's OK, I like the idea of it and it can do a lot of things but there are some pretty big whole. Needs metafield created, updated or removed triggers for instance and needs better support for inventory changes. The triggers are pretty limiting.

When it works, it can be beneficial but it doesn't work often, and the support for this app is useless. When you speak with Shopify support, no one seems to know or understand the app. I built a flow that should hold fulfillment orders when a product type it added to an order. Sometimes the flow works, and sometimes it says "Hold fulfillment order Succeeded" but it didn't succeed when you look at the actual order. And no one knows how to help. It's sad because it could be an excellent app!
Hi, thanks for your review. We are sorry about your frustration with Shopify support. We recommend always trying to ask first on Flow's community forums: https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-flow-app/bd-p/flow. For holds, if Flow says that it held fulfillment, it did. But what can happen is that other apps or workflows can release that hold just as quickly. If you need more detail, consider trying to post on the community.

For some things this works great! For others I am scratching my head as to why it won't. For example, I can take products by vender and add them to a manual collection for use in the tax exclusion zones since for some reason an automatic collection isn't allowed. Works great. But when I want to send an email to a customer that is imported with the tag eBay I am having trouble finding an option to just send a simple email out with a basic text. I have tried using Mail as well but it wants a template and then it adds it to a marketing list but that is not what I want to do. Just a simple email. The last issue is that I have other people adding products and I only want certain vendors products to be available in say Canada. There are options to hide products from channels for example, but nothing to remove the product from a market such as Canada. So you have to remember to select this every time every product any employee adds or it defaults to add it to the Canada market. Very frustrating. Maybe with a few updates this flow app could be really useful. But it is just missing a few variables here and there and functions to be as useful as I was expecting. Seeing as how most of my flows are fixing issues that Shopify has created such as not allowing me to use an auto collection for tax exclusions, I have to use this app. Since they default to add new products to all markets, I need to use a flow to fix it. So really it is annoying that I cannot do what I want to have done.

Nice for simple things, but missing many really useful Triggers and Webhook like Product type or template
Hi, thanks for trying out Flow. It's unclear what kind of trigger you would want for "product type" or "template". If you mean that you want to update those things, Flow can do that using the Send Admin API request action calling "productUpdate".

how do i get support for this app ??????? shopify make it impossible to contact them the description is very confusing and there is no way to contacts shopify app to get support on this app , PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!! this is an update to the original review that was one star and i change it to 3 star since Paul managed to help me with some of the queries , however its still very hard to do straight forward task , i actually used React flow to create some of the more advanced flows , so i am updating this to 3 stars only due to Paul that he really went out of his way to help me, however the system is not user friendly ,
You can see how to contact support in emails you've gotten from Shopify but also in the Settings / Plan area in the Admin. For Flow specifically, we do provide support through the community forums: https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-flow-app/bd-p/flow

Incredibly basic and does not offer anything I was looking for. (Send email to customer after X days for example)
Hi, thanks for the review. You may want to take another look - Flow is powering the experience under Marketing > Automations, where you will find the ability to email Customers.

Flow is classic Shopify. It's usable but mostly frustrating. It does some things but not generally enough things. It's slow. It's clunky. It breaks a lot. There's not enough documentation for it. At least it's free.

Works well and is reliable, but I wish it could do more. It always feels it can do 90% of what you want it to, but that last 10% is just out of reach. I find the date based triggers to be severely limited (e.g. each day at this time do X, remove tag on this date date, etc.). App is a great starting point and could be very useful if they build out its capability a bit more.
