SampleGuard ‑ Order Approval
The reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with merchants praising the app’s flexibility, reliability, and usefulness across a variety of business workflows such as sample orders, approval-based purchasing, discounts, gifting, warehousing, and internal sales. Several reviewers highlight that both the free and premium versions deliver strong value, with the premium tier seen as especially worthwhile for teams that need a more sophisticated approval and audit process. Customers also appreciate practical features like one-click email approvals, full audit trails, and integrations such as ShipStation, which save time and help streamline operations across marketing, finance, and fulfillment teams. A major strength mentioned repeatedly is the quality of customer support. Reviewers describe the creators and support team as friendly, responsive, and willing to adapt the app to specific business needs, including walking users through setup and adding additional services when possible. On the negative side, there are very few explicit complaints in these reviews; the main limitation implied is that some advanced needs may require the premium version, and the app may be most valuable for businesses with more complex approval or gifting workflows rather than very simple use cases.

Fantastic app that can be applied to a range of business instances including sample orders, orders that require approval, discounts etc. The creators are very lovely and supportive, willing to hear your specific requirements and add additional services were possible.
The free version does the job beautifully already but the premium version is worth every penny and a must-have if your brand is like ours, needing a sophisticated, reliable gifting solution that keeps marketing, finance and operation teams happy. My favourite feature is the "one-click" approval over email with full audit trail. Kudos to the world class customer support Dan and his team provides.
We tried SampleGuard for a specific client need and it worked great. We offered it to other clients so companies can approve purchases and it has been a tremendous benefit. This also steers our clients to offload the ordering to employees rather than a single manager, which has greatly increased our order values since the employees can pay for all the extras we sell. The app has a lot of features so I reached out to support with my needs and they walked me through setup with ease. I highly recommend the app!
This approval app is exactly what I have been looking for. There's nothing out there like it. Dan was a great pleasure and easy to work with. He and his team of developers where EXTREMELY helpful. The ShipStation integration is an absolute time saver and is fully automated. This app is perfect for anyone who needs to have an approval process in place for samples, warehousing, or internal sales.
