the heat is on review for Globo Product Options, Variant

Dec. 3, 2025

I am disappointed with this app and there is a fundamental flaw in how this has been set up that all potential customers of this app need to be aware of. This is an issue that has affected me in two different ways so far, and both times I’ve gone back to support who escalated it to the dev team. After initially trying to make out like I had the problem and not their app—which really riled me even more—they eventually admitted both times that it is an issue with the app which needs to be manually overwritten. So what is the issue? The app is great in terms of setting all of the linked products you want listed on your product pages. You can create groups and cross-link by lists, swatches, etc. The problem is: the app caches and stores both the image and title/description of products at the time you link them. But if you go back and make changes to the product in Shopify, the app holds onto the old title/image exactly as they were when originally cross-linked, and it does not automatically update the content. Here’s an example: If a product had wrong info in the title (e.g. “1200mm high” when it should be “2200mm high”), the title shown in your cross-link will still display “1200mm high” even after you correct it in Shopify. The only way the app picks up the change is if you manually remove the link and re-add it again. I have hundreds and hundreds of cross-linked groups, so every time I change something I should not have to manually go in and update all of these. The app should update itself. The same applies for images. I noticed this early when building the store: some products I cross-linked didn’t yet have images. After adding images later, the product pages still showed blank thumbnails. When I asked support why this was, they told me I needed to re-create the links now that the images were added—again confirming the same issue: the app does not have a live feed and does not update itself. Yet nowhere in the app or its instructions is this mentioned. And just like titles, if I change an image later, the cross-link will hold onto the old image indefinitely unless I manually update it. This is a major, major flaw in how this app works. I have brought this to support and the developers’ attention, and the lack of response or proper acknowledgement is alarming. This is an app that wants to charge an ongoing monthly fee for a service that leaves you with cross-links showing out-of-date titles and images—unless you manually remember to go back and re-do them. Be aware also that when you try to raise issues, the developers seem more interested in telling you that you’re wrong than in actually reading what you’re saying. Who is bringing up the issue here, and who should be providing the answers? I have spent a LOT of time setting up what will be over 1,400 sets of cross-linked models—only to now learn that these will NEVER auto-update unless I manually remove and re-add them any time something changes. This has left me regretting using this service, as it simply does not deliver in terms of how it has been designed. Be aware…!!
