Lumise ‑ POD Product Designer

Aug. 24, 2025

I have persisted with this app because I am optimistic and see that this could be a great app with some updates. It is not actually compatible with Shopify as it takes over the shopping cart/checkout entirely. So if you run other apps that require the cart and checkout to remain as standard, it will not work at al for your store. It sets up a shopping cart within the Shopify shopping cart so there are 2 checkout buttons. UPDATE (1st AUG 2023): The developers have now been helpful with working on the coding for my store so that the messy checkout this app makes is better for our customers. This app does have plenty of possibility and potential and I still hope that in time the required improvements will be made, however it is a way off from actually being properly compatible with Shopify, especially if you sell items that do not require customisation along ones that do using this app. UPDATE (26th APR 2025): Where has the advertised Live Chat Support for this ap gone?? Sadly there is now zero support available for this app. It completely stopped working for no apparent reason! We had to contact every customer and ask them to email the details of their designs to us and remake all the designs manually! Thankfully our customers were very understanding, however the massive time and admin cost to this was horrible. No response to emails to the developer. After searching for alterrnative contact details I found the Lumise App facebook page. The response to the message was that this app is now managed by a different company! This is appauling. Changed my review from 3 stars to 2 stars. The app has potential but without any support it is nothing but a liability to any business and we do not recommend it. UPDATE (24th AUG 2025) - Due to the app no longer being compatible with Shopify until it is updated to meet the requirements of the new Checkout and Thank You pages, we removed the app. We are thankful for the fast assistance of the new management and wish them well for the future of Lumise. The app has potential but needs work to be suitable for Shopify. Review upgraded from 2 to 4 stars in support if the assistance received to remove the app from my website.

Product is OK but missing a lot of serious features. 1.The cart does not go through Shopify so can't do any discount codes. 2. The cart does not work with other products in your Shopify store so if someone adds a product in Lumise they won't be able to add it another product that's not Lumise based. Very confusing for the customer 3. The print files are saved on Lumise's servers and there's no way to download the files without going through their servers. For customers that already have a whole fulfillment system set up, this is very problematic. We would want the production images to be saved on the Shopify servers or even emailed to us. Would love to try Lumise again in a few months once the above is fixed and change my review to 5 stars. Right now it's missing too many features to be reliably used.
