OilyPod review for Heartcoding Sales & Discounts
Nov. 27, 2021
Very slow sync. It took about 15 minutes for the app to completely revert the price of 974 items in my store and while being synced some customers were able to checkout the automatically discounted items with new discount codes which are supposed to run at the time the automatic discounts end. Caused some losses. I would not recommend this app for stores with large inventories or with high traffic.
Thank you for taking the time and writing a review. We are sad to hear our app did not work as fast as you might have expected. Our speed for product adjustments is limited by Shopify at a theoretical max of 2 products per second. From our log files I can see that your sale campaign needed a bit more than 12 minutes to finish - this equals to 1.35 products per second. The small discrepancy is on purpose as our scripts double validate a product has successfully been adjusted. From our point of view the time you have to wait for a sale campaign to finish comes as an advantage for your customers because we don’t inject any scripts into your theme and do NOT slow down your storefront. From our experience we are still one of the fastest and most reliable apps in the market and we would be surprised if there is a significantly quicker way to adjust this size of information. We hope you had a good BFCM nevertheless and wish you all the best for the future! Kind regards
