Do not rate the app, used 3 times now for 3 new collections and every time I have issues. The chat button doesnt ever work either. I can never release the goods so I take payments to late.. I have to do it on the shopify end and not the app end, which your not meant to do but never works or loads otherwise. Dont recommend I wont be using again

What I love about this app is that the customer doesn't pay for the goods until it's ready to ship. We felt that this was really important in todays market. It's super simple to use and I prefer paying for each transaction rather than a monthly amount as we have so many apps! Having it installed means that we don't miss out on those important sales!

I had a challenge with Shopify separating regular orders from the Purple Dot orders and Shopify was not able to assist. Purple Dot Zach came to the rescue. Not only did he listen carefully, advise of the solution, he even checked back with me to confirm everything was good. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these guys. And did I mention, USA Support !! THANK YOU

This app has been very easy to install and operate on our own. When we do run into issues (like the app working with other apps) the customer service is fast, efficient and personal, and I can always get them on a call or via email almost immediately. That alone makes this app worth it as many of these add ons have little to no service. Highly recommend!

We love Purple Dot. Could not recommend this App enough. It does everything we need it to and our customers just love it. It seamlessly works with Shopify holding all our pre-orders until stock arrives. Their team support is off the charts....

We constantly sell out and had to take pre orders which shopify is completely not set up for...and when we had delays, we had to manually email everyone (even with klaviyo, some emails get listed, hard to figure out which orders are pre order, etc). it was just a nightmare! Purple Dot is a life saver! Now pre orders are so much easier to manage, and it's easy to communicate to everyone on the status of their order and clients like that they dont' get charged until they ship. I like that it's charged per order and not a monthly subscription. Highly recommend

We've tried other pre-order apps, but this is by far the best! Customers like that they aren't charged right away, and the communication to customers is super clear and well done. We believe this will resolve a lot of our customer service issues we've had with pre-orders in the past. The team is very responsive and helpful with questions we've had. Thank you!

I have very recently set up my Shopify store and am still getting to grips with all it has to offer. From the reviews for Purple Dot I thought it would be the best app to use for pre-orders, plus I like how they just charge a fee for each sale and not a monthly subscription as many of the others I looked into. I had a little enquiry and am absolutely thrilled with the customer service from Zach. He has replied to my messages very quickly and has been super helpful, even sending me a personal video with a step by step guide to help me with my enquiry which was super easy to follow. Absolutely recommend and would give more stars if I could. Thanks Zach and Purple Dot!

Purple Dot is such a great app! We started using it very recently, so we're kicking ourselves for not finding it sooner. Before Purple Dot, we took some pre-orders, but it was no different than how we took orders for in-stock items. And one of the benefits with Purple Dot is the amount of time we've saved by not having to constantly email angry customers asking us when their purchase will arrive. Not to mention the stellar and responsive help from the support team! Full Disclosure: We have yet to fulfill a pre-order, but I'm optimistic the process will be great.
