Wicked Bride review for Zepto Product Personalizer

Nov. 12, 2024

Ok, after getting the app set up and using it for a bit, I need to update my review with a couple things I feel others should be aware of. These things may or may not be an issue for your shop, but as a pretty small shop that makes/fulfills their items (instead of a 3rd party) - here are my issues; 1. It's not possible to use the "create new product" option in settings, I have to use the "create draft order" for any item with a price change/upgrade. Why? Because the "create new product" won't work with my shipping profiles - because the "new" product technically doesn't fall into a managed shipping profile. If you just use the General Shipping profile covering all your items and have that set up for weight/etc. this likely won't be an issue for you (I have mine set up for pricing to bundle items because some ship free with others). 2. Since my only option is the "create draft order" option I have to MANUALLY fulfill every order with a price increase. The personalization doesn't fulfill automatically when the item is fulfilled by my shipping app. AND, I couldn't put the price variant in Shopify, because when I did that, other features of the app stopped working. Again, I'm a small shop running a custom template, so while this isn't a deal breaker per se, it is a pain in the a** and it does throw off order stats. 3. For some reason, the app takes over as the sales channel when personalized items are purchased - so it's not immediately clear to me where the sale came from (data needed for advertising reasons), which again, is not ideal. 4. It turns custom packing slips into a 3-page novel (ha!) - I've been able to clean mine up some but I'm still working to reduce redundant line items. Despite these issues, it still is the most robust personalizer out there - my hope is the developers continue to make updates so while the front end is flawless, my back end won't continue to be a mess. I ended up hand-coding product options on another site I own, and while not as elegant as this app, it does work perfectly front to back, so I will give this some time to see how it effects conversions before deciding to keep it indefinitely. Again, customer service is very responsive, and if you're running a Shopify template with no upcharges to items and 3rd party fulfillment, this will likely work perfectly for your needs.
