Equipment Blades Inc review for SA Request a Quote, Hide Price

May 16, 2023

HIDE PRICES DOESN'T WORK ON ALL 2.0 THEMES and the developers are very cavalier with their fixes and launching of code. I am a front-end developer. PLEASE BEWARE to thoroughly check Globo's code fixes because it doesn't appear that they do. Please let me explain our nightmare so this doesn't happen to you. Our issue caused heheadaches with our customers, and in one case, substantially discount a product. Due to the nature of our high-priced products, our business is predicated on hiding prices from customers allowing us to quote accurately and appropriately. Unfortunatley prices on our Recently Viewed widget, Recommended Products widget, and Search (only on mobile) were still visible after we launched our 2.0 theme. As a short term, and very quick fix, I hid all prices using display:none; CSS, while the Globo team coded a fix. After several responses telling me the code was fixed (when it hadn't been) we finally seemed to get it right, only to find out when the URL included /pages/, which is where all quoted products go to submit a quote, the prices would show in search and the widgets. A customer saw a wrong price and we had to honor that price costing us big. So once again, I implemented the CSS code hiding all prices unconditionally. Globo again said they fixed the issue, removed my code, and it clearly showed the prices on all search products without us being able to check their fix. It seems that there is absolutely NO Q&A process on Globo's side when they implement fixes. So again BEWARE
