Dishonest, dodgy and unethical business practices. We had a HQ deal with Federica for US $200 / mo. For the first 3 months they charged us this, then they changed without telling us and started charging us $400/mo - they claim to have generated all these sales, when they are only appropriating sales if a customer sees an image or video on our site with the app. NOT worth it, extremely expensive and dishonest ways of doing business.

Hey Camixa, Saw your (2nd) review, and honestly, I wish this conversation had happened face-to-face instead of in public - because I think there’s a misunderstanding here, and I’d rather clear it up directly with you. 1️⃣ On Pricing - Let’s Get Clarity We honour our agreements. If there was any miscommunication on pricing, I’ll own that, and we’ll fix it. But what’s strange is that we’ve reached out multiple times to discuss, and instead of hopping on a quick call, this ended up in a review. Feels like a missed opportunity, don’t you think? 2️⃣ On sales attribution - Here’s the Truth The claim that we take credit for sales just because someone saw an image or video? Completely false. ✅ Sauce only attributes a sale when a customer clicks on a Sauce module and completes checkout. No click = no attribution. ✅ We literally align our risk with your success - we only win when you do. 3️⃣ The data doesn’t lie Let’s look at the actual results: 📈 AOV is up. 📈 Website conversion is up. 📈 Customers interacting with Sauce are spending more. So if Sauce is making you more money, how exactly is that a bad thing? 4️⃣ The bigger picture - let’s Fix This I get it - if you feel blindsided by something, that’s frustrating. What I don’t get is ignoring all our outreach and then blasting us publicly instead. So let’s fix it. Let’s get on a call and actually talk this through. If we messed up, I’ll make it right. But if Sauce is genuinely driving more revenue for you, then let’s be real - this isn’t about the tool, it’s about making sure you’re using it the best way possible. And hey, if nothing else, at least I’ll get a chance to hear your side directly instead of reading it like a scene out of a courtroom drama. 🎭 Let me know what works. Door’s open....

Extremely Expensive - Customer Gouging We negotiated directly with HQ for a $200/mo plan, ended up getting charged close to US $400/mo. Not worth it and very expensive. The app claims credit (they charge you extra commission) every time a customer might happen to see an image or video and then purchase. They claim they generated the revenue / bring in additional sales - I call this attribution theft! Try instafeed for $6/mo instead.

Hey CAMIXA, Appreciate the honest feedback. I totally get that pricing matters, so let’s break it down. It looks like, Sauce has been crushing it on upsells - your net AOV is up, conversion rates have improved, and we only charge based on actual performance, not just a flat fee. That’s why the pricing might look different from the base plan, this last month the extra revenue from upsells has outpaced expectations - pricing scales with the revenue Sauce helps generate. That said, if the value isn’t lining up with what you expected, that’s on us to fix. Happy to jump on a quick call to walk through what’s happening, realign expectations, and see if Sauce is still the right fit for you. Let me know what works - I’d love to make this right. All the very best, Guy

I really want to like this app but there are so many things wrong with it. 1. I cannot choose the video I want for my hero video. 2. Hero products video doesn't work. 3. I cant choose thumbnail for loop clips. 4. when I select auto play for loop clips, only 1 video plays on auto, some do too but all of them dont and most of them dont autoplay 100% of the time. 5. I cant choose the order of the stories. 6. none of the customizations really work for loop clips, let alone the other features. 7. the user interface is soooo bad, its pretty but simple things on the UX require work arounds just to make the website functional. 8. and the BIGGEST one of all, which I think is deceptive is that the media you upload goes to all the widgets - meaning what you use for stories, get played as the hero, the product gallery - you cannot specifically select content for specific widgets. thats ridiculous! Things will appear to work on sauce dashboard but on the actual site, it will not work. really unfortunate, how you guys can fix asap.

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. It sounds like you’ve encountered a range of frustrations, and I’d like to address your concerns directly while offering solutions that we can assist with further via our help channels. We’d also be delighted for you to take up a 1:1 Zoom call that can help to walk you through any specific issues and ensure you’re getting the best out of Sauce. It probably feels like we’ve let you down, and it's frustrating that things aren’t working the way you expected. You might even feel like we’re not listening or that we’re not taking your concerns seriously. If I were in your shoes, I’d probably feel exactly the same way. So, hoping you don't mind me taking a small step towards breaking this down and working through each point to make sure we can address everything and get you back on track. 1. Hero Video Selection: Our 'Media Display Rules' allow you to filter selections by custom hashtags and sort by engagement, recency, or sales potential. You can also drag and drop videos in the by clicking on the 'Edit Positions' button. If this isn’t functioning as expected, please let us know so we can assist you. 2. Hero Product Videos: These videos are linked to specific products and display on Product Display Pages when a tagged video exists. If a product doesn’t show a Hero Product Video, it may not have an associated video. We can help you set this up using Shopify 2.0 App Blocks or toggling the 'Sauce Hero Product Videos' 'App Embed' to 'On'. 3. Loop Clips and Thumbnails: Loop clips are designed for continuous playback without thumbnails. If you have specific needs regarding thumbnails, we’d like to understand them better to explore potential updates. 4. Autoplay Issues: On desktop, autoplay should function for all videos. On mobile, only one video plays at a time to optimise bandwidth and user experience. If desktop autoplay isn’t working correctly, we can investigate this further. 5. Story Media Order: You can customise media sorting using the sort icon. If this feature isn’t working, please provide a screenshot so we can identify and resolve the issue. 6. Customisation Challenges: We’d appreciate details on which customisation options aren’t meeting your expectations. Sharing this information will help us address your concerns effectively. 7. User Experience (UX): Your feedback on UX is valuable. If there are specific pain points or functionality gaps, please share them with us. We’re committed to refining the interface to balance simplicity with robust features. 8. Content Across Widgets: Our media library syndicates content across all surfaces to save time. However, Media Display Rules allow you to refine what appears where. For example, you can use hashtag filters to curate content for specific widgets or apply pre-set rules to only show User Generated Content for example. We’d be happy to show you how to make the most of this feature. I also want to mention that we’ve reached out via our support channel on two separate occasions to set up a call but haven’t received a response back. Please perhaps, kindly consider responding to our messages so we can connect and assist you directly. We’re totally here to help you get the most out of Sauce and ensure it works seamlessly for your needs. Thank you so much for your patience and for giving us the chance to learn and do better for you.

I have asked multiple times for my account to be closed! There is no option for closing an account yourself on the website. No one gets back to me. Don’t install this unless you can afford it!!! I will also be contacting Shopify to let them know about not being able to cancel a subscription with this mob. If I could give zero stars I would.

I have logged in with this app already. I recently changed my insta password so I was trying to log in to this app again from Shopify but it's not working anymore. not sending a reset password either. If I try to sign up again it says this user id already exists and I tried their live chat and send a message for help. Nothing, nada. I feel so lost and this app put me in a loop I feel I can't get out of. :(

Its ridiculous the amount you are now charging a month for this. It used to be free. That is quite the jump. And there is basically no free option once you use 50 tags. VERY disapointed.

UX is awful. It won't let me search the influencer by their handle only with hashtags. It also won't let me add the influencer image to the product page without downloading code. It used to be easier to use but since they updated the app, it's gone downhill. Will probably delete the app and find something similar. 100% do not recommend.

Hi Ela Handbags, I've recorded a quick 1min video https://youtu.be/vM4F0SlpL1Q showing how any Instagram Influencer can be looked up by their username, their media can then be tagged with any product and automatically showcased in your relevant product pages (no code needed!). I'd be delighted to hop on a 1:1 to better understand your key challenges and will do my best to solve + optimise them for you on the call.

I filled in the wrong email address when registering. But I found that I was using an abandoned email address, and there was no button to click back or modify the email address except for showing the email verification page. so disappointing!

The app was originally free - I got it all setup and it really is a nice app. However... 1. They pulled the ol' switch-a-roo on us and changed their business model. Now the free tier is basically useless and we would have to pay a minimum of $30/mo. Now I have their code cluttering our site with the option to pay up or not use it like we were previously. 2. SNPT code fought other code on our site and I had to disable it. Specifically, it fought w/ our Rewards program "Smile.io" Bummer, because the app is well thought out and nice...just a slimy move to change up pricing like that. Also, it would be nice if they showed their pricing tiers other than "Free to install" - below is the $29.99/mo. tier - essential if you want to actually utilize the app. $29.99/mo Everything in Free, + Video tagging Videos in galleries, Product Pages, Shop the Look cards Custom galleries Unlimited embeddable galleries for your store & web Unlimited product tags Multi product tagging on products & videos UGC Tag your products in User Generated Posts & Videos Hashtag galleries Create custom hashtag filtered galleries Shop the look cards Let customers shop the look in interactive media cards Discreet branding Minify SNPT branding that your customers see in your store Design customisation Get the look you want for all galleries & carousels
