We are using Navidium since December 2022. The installation had to be done by their support team because it was not that straight forward, particularly because we have a multi currency and multi language store. In the beginning their dashboard was very slow but that has been solved a while ago. Once the installation was sorted and all small glitches were found and corrected the app has been running without any issues. Obviously the people behind it know what they are doing! Their support has always been helpful and fast. So this app we will keep on using, no reason to go anywhere else. Before I forget: a small bonus: I was able to translate the widget with dynamic text translations functionality from the translate app we are using, so the widget shows up in 21 different languages. This is something that does not work always with other apps.

I thought it would be a good idea to install this app, and my first few chats with them were great. I felt like I was in great hands and that we'll be happy with this product. Then the implementation started, and everything went south. An expert from Navidium will implement it for you. What they don't tell you is that they'll create a product for the shipping protection. In our case, they didn't disable the Google and Facebook sales channels for that product. Which means we were paying for Google Ads for that "product". Plus, they created hundreds of variants, even though we only wanted one price for the shipping protection. So, all of our reporting blew up completely. Product bulk editing is also a pain due to all the Navidium product variants. Any kind of feed or reporting had to be cleaned up. We started listing the product also on a marketplace that pulls a feed of all our products. Complete disaster. No one contacted us after the implementation to check if we were happy, so we didn't start using the product.
Hi there, My name is Marc, and I am one of the co-founders of Navidium. First off, I want to apologize for any misunderstandings, frustrations, and of course disruptions the onboarding caused. It is never a good thing to see merchants struggle, and our team is ready and happy to make any issue right as fast as possible. I'd like to address the concerns in the review to help shed light on it as best as I can. Why we create a product with variants: Shopify is a closed system, and in order to add a "surcharge" for the VIP protection service you are left with essentially adding a line item to the cart. There is rumors that shopify will soon be adding a "additional fee" API, but that rumor has been around for nearly a decade so best I can say is fingers crossed, when it arrives we will be the first to jump on it. But right now, every app of this type, from insurance, warranty, additional product options, etc all are stuck using "product line items" which does sadly pose a few downsides with reporting, feeds, etc. We do generally do a good job hiding it, and have some videos in our app backend to show you how to hide it from some channels. This particular case (marketplaces) hasn't come up before, but now that I've seen this review, I'll make sure a video is added so that your experience can be a lesson learned for others. Fortunately, it is often as easy as unchecking the sales channels, and excluding it from feeds, so just a tiny bit of work over-all and this issue essentially goes away. But, I recognize that we can do a better job communicating this going forward, and will do so! 2) Why do we have so many variants? The short answer is dynamic pricing. Most merchants want to be able to charge a different amount depending on the order value. We use a % based system, and the variants allow for that to happen. It is by default set to a max of 1 product with 100 variants. However, our team has tools in place on our end to adjust those, add more or less, and can essentially resolve this when we are made aware of it. The thinking is that a customer ordering $50 of items vs, $300 should not be paying the same amount for protection. Our dynamic settings allows for this to happen, and finds the closest available variant to use. Again, this is something most similar apps employ in one form or another. I will look into finding ways to make this clearer, and our merchants who take demo's before installing are always shown this. The app listing on shopify is not very large, so it certainly poses a little challenge on how in-depth on the technical level we can get. Why is all sales channels default on? We sadly have to do this. We've tried it a few different ways in the past, and it turns out Shopify's API for creating products does not allow for selected sales channels to be enabled when you create a product. Since we MUST have the sales online channel enabled, it is either all or nothing. We tested having it all defaulted off, but it ended up causing a ton of trouble for merchants and reverted back to enable all. But as mentioned earlier, communication is key, and so this will certainly be something we improve on. My team and I are here to help resolve any issues. I've reached out personally to you, but you are welcome to email me directly any time at marc at ecompropeller.com and I'll ensure our team gets you up and running personally, as smoothly as possible. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, it means the world, and gives us a chance to look at ways we can improve our product and service! - Marc H Co Founder | Navidium App

We’ve been using Navidium for a few months and have had a very positive experience! Easy installation and I don’t have to deal with a third party claim filing middle man. Absolutely worth it!

Love Navidium! A great alternative to Route. Would recommend it to anyone trying to increase their AOV.

Navidium is a great app. Honestly, it is so simple to use and allows me to generate extra income so I can cover any shipping issues that my customers face. They also have a ton of features to help me tailor the Navidium to specific products.

Navidium has been a complete lifesaver for us after dealing with the problematic Route app. Navidium gives us more flexibility to price our shipping protection and allows us to further elevate of brand's trust with our customers by allowing us to private label the shipping protection with "our" company's name, opposed to marketing another company's name like Route.

Navidum has been fantastic, their platform is very easy to use and it's a great way to protect both our store and customers from lost parcels or undelivered items. There's a whole suite of tools to take advantage of to also increase upsell opportunities and provide more options for customers.

It is an amazing app, an amazing team, and amazing results. Recommend 100%

I was in the midst of cancelling my then existing shipping insurance company, for a number of reasons, including upsetting my customers and refusing to answer my quests vis email. I was fortunate enough to find Navidium. I set up an appointment and even recorded the conversation; to insure I heard everything correctly, to either sign up or go without any type of shipping insurance options. Therese from Navidium, asked me about my current circumstances and then provide me with a full explain on all the features that Navidium app provides… In her demonstrated, she showed me a number of current merchants using the system, along with options and most importantly answered all my questions. Additionally, without me asking, she provided me with several ways to communicate with Navidium, in case the need arises. It been a little more than a month since I joined Navidium, I would high suggest anyone using other shipping insurance system to take the time and take a strong look at Navidium, you’ll want to use their app.

Navidium has been a game-changer for us! Prior to Navidium, we were using a Shipping Insurance app (y'all know the one) that was not so helpful at all when it came to dealing with lost, stolen, or damaged orders. Navidium has allowed us to personalize the shipping protection experience that has given us (as the company) greater control that in turn impacts our customer's satisfaction and peace of mind. Very grateful!

Navidium is an absolute must have for our DTC Shopify store. Expert onboarding and set it and forget it. We have a terrific opt in rate and its great peace of mind for our customers. Don't hesitate...I was afraid to offer this product at first and I have no idea why now. Its a total no brainer!

Navidium has been a frustration free experience so far which has been great. We previously worked with Route and the advantages that we have gotten with Navidium have been 100% worth it and a no brainer to stay with Navidium. We actually MAKE money with Navidium. This alone makes the switch worth. The customer and company portal are the easiest platforms to use for us. We have been with Navidium for about 3 months at this point and it has been such a great experience. Their CS team is very nice and pleasant to work with. All in all, Navidium has been an amazing overall experience and a no-brainer to work with. I encourage anyone to use Navidium, you won't be sorry!

Navidium has been a great addition to our store. We vetted various different apps, but Navidium was the only one that worked with our business case. Their support team was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the onboarding process.
