Don't recommend this app, 90% of the orders here are fraudulent orders, you will lose money, the customer can file fraudulent dispute at any time. Because this app doesn't have 3d security, a lot of orders are placed without any 3d security and after a few week you will receive a fraudulent dispute which is hard to win. If you want to risk and get a high dispute rate, lose money, and get a lot of orders placed by scammers, then yes, this app is for you.
Very bad app and we didn't get a good support from Shopify. Users cannot login due to server issues and shop owners face with 5xx errors on Google Search console.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It sounds like you are having some issues with your online store, not necessarily the Shop Sales Channel. If you or your customers are having issues signing into their account, please reach out to our authenticated support team to have this reviewed. 5xx errors with your domain could also be caused by incorrect DNS information. Our live chat would be happy to review and assist you with this. Please reach out to our authenticated support team for additional help: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. -Shay, Shop Support
Same as other users, my Shopify store is only for wholesale customers. I have a third party app to approve or decline customers' account applications and and set tags to let them have wholesale prices. I don't want to show my products on the Shop app to everyone. I've uninstalled this app. But some people still can log in with Shop. Don't know why.
Hi there. Thanks for sharing your review. I understand your concern and will share this feedback with our developers. In the meantime, you can hide certain products from appearing on the Shop App by toggling off the sales channel in the product section. If you are still having issues, feel free to get in touch with our support team here: https://shopify.link/WJna. -Mac, Shopify Support
For about 3 weeks now, almost every purchase made via the Shop channel/app has ended up being a fraudulent order. Not only that, the orders were not flagged by Shopify's system - Shopify Fraud Protection did not catch those things and we got hammered with fraudulent orders and chargebacks - we found out on our own either from people calling in after the orders went through, or when we look through the order details and payment capture information. Yes, we do look at each order that comes in - we're not a large company, we're a small business, and we like to know where each one of our products go to; being that we are a small business, these fraudulent orders have caused financial losses and the stress on the team is almost unbearable. The first one we noticed was about two weeks ago, when that person actually called us and told us they never placed this order. The shipping address was his mother’s and the billing address was his old address. He said he hadn’t used the Shop app in months. We chatted with Shopify’s support but the only thing they said was that they think that person's account got hacked. Fast-forward to two weeks later, and we get a chargeback from someone else with nearly the same story. They ordered something that’s custom-made and takes about 4-6 weeks to build, so it hadn’t even shipped yet - but production has begun and parts ordered so that sucks a bit. But, same story: they had never heard of us, and didn't even know we made licensed Star Trek things. A bit of digging, and we see more orders where chargebacks were filed but they were protected by Shopify’s Chargeback Protection and we didn’t even get notifications about those. But all of those were also pretty much the same stories. And here’s where it gets really weird: The shipping addresses do match those of the owners of the hacked accounts, are all correct - some packages are still en route, and some are at nearby UPS stores waiting to be picked up. So no, the scammers who hacked those accounts don’t even have the merchandise. Here's actually a little excerpt of the chat with Shopify after a call with the first customer mentioned above: "16:59 Agent (Support Advisor): Thank you for waiting we have double checked our resources and also based our Support Shop Department they mentioned to me that they don't have the visibility as to why this particular order got a fraudulent or high risk they can only provide some general information or general insights and suggestions: 16:59 Agent (Support Advisor): * Account security: It is possible that the customer's account may have been compromised or hacked. In such cases, fraudsters gain unauthorized access to the account and place fraudulent orders. It's important for customers to use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication (if available) to enhance the security of their accounts." PLEASE Shopify, do not tell us fraud can happen and to use your fraud prevention system like you did in another review. We ARE using your fraud prevention and your system doesn't catch it!!
Hi, thanks for the detailed review of your experience of using the Shop channel. Dealing with fraudulent orders are never easy, so I can understand your frustration. For context, our Fraud Analysis feature uses machine learning algorithms to determine an order's risk level. The displayed risk indicators aren't a comprehensive list of points looked at when reviewing an order however, but are instead instead a small subset of this data. I understand it can be frustrating when the system does not catch a high-risk order for your store, though we have a team of engineers and data scientists that are continuously working to improve our algorithms. From this, we're hoping to see a more accurate risk indicator being displayed overtime for orders on a store. I know it's not what you'd like to hear, and perhaps this has been communicated to you many times already, however our fraud prevention features as listed here: https://shopify.link/Qe1p, which includes the Fraud Control app, is the most effective way to provide another layer of protection to your store outside of the Fraud Analysis. The Fraud Control app: https://shopify.link/4krb in particular allows you to filter and block specific orders using a set of rules you implement, so if you haven't already done so I recommend installing this on your store. -Kimi, Shopify Support

Any purchase we've had through the Shop Channel has ended up being a fraudulent purchase resulting in financial loss and emotional turmoil.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience with fraudulent orders, and I understand that it must have been stressful to handle. Unfortunately, fraudulent orders are a possibility regardless of the channel. To help prevent this type of activity going forwards, I recommend checking out our fraud prevention guide here: https://shopify.link/Qe1p. -Sophia, Shopify Support
We have a wholesale store that requires login-only access and Shop was able to sell to random people at our wholesale pricing without any approval from us by offering our products on its main commerce page. This is not only a terrible design, but also puts us in a sales tax liability situation since we vet that all of our customers are required to have a valid Resellers License prior to giving them access to our wholesale pricing. If you have a login-only website, Shop shouldn't be able to offer your products, pretty simple. Bizarre functionality, not impressed.
Hi, thanks for reviewing our Shop channel. For context, at this stage the Shop channel isn't compatible with stores that also offer wholesale pricing, as the system won't respect any wholesale rules that a store may have set up for their products. Wholesale stores are typically opted out of the Shop channel by default, in order to mitigate the risks that being featured in the Shop app could have for the store (ie. customers in seeing the store's wholesale pricing). In saying this however, merchants do have the ability to still opt in to Shop by installing the app within their Shopify admin themselves, if they're willing to accept the risk that special wholesale product rules will be ignored by the system. I can understand how important it is to be able to incorporate a rule within the Shop channel that separates wholesale products versus those tailored for regular customers, however. I'll be sure to pass on the feedback that you've shared with us here to our development team for consideration. Thanks! -Kimi, Shopify Support
Be Warned! Shop App will let your customers file fraudulent chargebacks. A buyer made a purchase, they returned the item and I issued a refund, talked with buyer vie email and submitted proof of refund and email communication. Then they opened a chargeback and said they did not get a refund (complete lie). Shop channel will not honor or help a merchant and the buyer got issued a 2nd refund and I was charge with a chargeback fee. There is no way to contact the Shop app support. If anyone from Shop App reads this please contact me. This buyer is a scammer and has found a way to steal from honest merchants. Very disappointed in this Channel.
Hi, there. Thank you for leaving your review. For context, the ability to dispute a charge is an option offered by your customer's bank or credit card company. If a chargeback is opened by the cardholder's bank, the issuing bank investigates the complaint and decides on the result of the dispute as well. Shop wouldn't be able to prevent chargebacks, but I can definitely understand the impact they can have on your business. If you're using Shopify for your online store, this guide on managing and preventing chargebacks can help you out: https://shopify.link/KWdz. If you have more questions about this you can also reach out to the Shop support team here: https://shopify.link/bmyj. -Erin, Shop Support
EDIT to the reply: My customers have opted into marketing emails FROM ME, not from you. You're hijacking my customer base for your own emails. I'll repeat: absolute abuse of privacy and my company. Stop sending obnoxious marketing emails to my customers WHO AREN'T EVEN PAYING WITH SHOP PAY / USING SHOP. this is pathetic abuse of privacy and abuse of my company's customer base. support has made it clear we can't use Shop Pay without these obnoxious emails going out. will be reconsidering whether to have our shop there.
Hey there! We understand the frustration this could cause if it causes customers to reach out. Shop does not send marketing emails to your customers unless they have opted in to receive them. If you're experiencing any issues with unwanted emails, please reach out to our support team here: https://bit.ly/3FAFUbg. They will be able to assist you further and address any concerns you may have. -Rio, Shopify Support
Insane that as a seller I have to wait 3-4 days before I see any payout information. I'll be deleting this. I will only fulfill an order when I see payment, so having to wait nearly a week is just nonsense.
Thank you for your feedback. If you have concerns regarding your payouts, please contact our Support Team (https://shopify.link/7Poo). -Emily, Shop Support
If I could give this app zero stars I would. This was my personal experience with this Shop app. I received a chargeback from a customer who said they did not receive a PRE ORDER. Well, it had not arrived yet, because it was a PRE ORDER. I sent all the information, the order, the copy of the web page, even the email where the customer admitted they did not just cancel the order so they could avoid a cancellation fee. But, of course, the bank still backed their customer. It was the only chargeback I ever had but because I had so few orders it took me over 1%. Only a few days later I had enough orders to take me back below 1%. I asked for an appeal. Shop app has no appeal process. I asked for a manual review. Shop app has no manual review process. I literally installed this app again to leave this review and will uninstall it again right away after. I can't trust an app that has no kind of manual oversight and they just let the system do all the work.
Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. I can certainly see how this could affect your online business. Chargebacks are a dispute between the customer bank and the business they have made a purchase from, Shopify does not have any sway on how the chargeback is resolved. With that being said, we do have a great help document that goes into depth about the chargeback process: https://shopify.link/Dx8b. Additionally, you can manually capture payments to allow you to review orders before accepting them: https://shopify.link/zy1V. -Ollie, Shop Support
We don't even have the app set up - ours products were supposed to be sold only for subscribed customers - yet, open public managed to place orders through it -thoughts??
Hey there, thanks for taking the time to write a review. We will need to take a further look into your online store set up to advise further. With that being said, you can get in touch with our live support by logging into your online store using the Contact Us page: https://shopify.link/J1kv. -Ollie, Shop Support
Never installed this app. Proceeding to uninstall it since a new application should not be installed without explicit consent and need more time to evaluate if it is good for our needs.
versteht kein Mensch.. keine Genehmigung für Alkohol und weil man eine Altersprüfung hat. Alle Alkohol Artikel gelöscht nun abgelehnt weil man angeblich Keine Altersprüfung hat obwohl vorhanden.
78 bad ratings says it all. Saw our store was including a shop pay payment option without our knowledge and then was told we dont qualify to use app. At what point did stores need "to qualify" to monetize and promote a 3rd party app?
Thank you for taking the time to write a review! Like any other payment gateway and sales channel, Shop Pay and Shop have eligibility requirements to maintain quality standards, mitigate risks, and protect the interests of all parties involved. By setting eligibility criteria, payment gateways and sales channels can ensure that merchants have the necessary legal, financial, and operational capabilities to conduct business effectively and responsibly. Feel free to go over our Shop Merchant Guidelines and Shop Pay Merchant Terms to learn about our eligibility requirements. If you believe you're eligible to use the payment gateway and the app, you can reach out to our support team for a review here: https://shopify.link/VRd6. -Summer, Shopify Support
Customers cannot find my store on this app. Plus shoppay tries to force customer into only using it. Shopify need a one page checkout so that customers can CHOOSE the payment method they want to use.
Thank you for leaving your review. If you're having trouble with your Shop account I recommend reaching out to our support team here (https://shopify.link/bmyj) so that we can review this with you. In the meantime, this guide (https://shopify.link/qLx8) can help you ensure you've got the Shop sales channel set up correctly so customers can find you on the app. Also, if you're interested in the one-page checkout I recommend entering your email address into the form at the botton of this page (https://shopify.link/zyxB) to be considered for early access. That being said, with the current checkout customers can choose the payment method they want to check out with, even with Shop Pay enabled. -Erin, Shop Support
This is the worst app, get ready to lose customers if you are installing this.....I got back t back chargebacks from customers, when i contacted the customers they accepted that yes they got the order but on their credit card bill there was no name of shop or business or no any such details...can you believe this idiocy?? Did shopify just launched a teenage app??? lastly, who authorized shopify to install these crap apps for no reason? I didn't install this app but i had no idea what was happening until i got screenshot by customer that there was no name of business or anything just random charges........I wish I could sue this app and those who install these apps on all stores without any knowledge of the merchant......
Hi, there. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review for the Shop App and Sales Channel. The Shop App and Sales Channel is a sales channel made and managed by Shopify to help stores reach customers on the mobile device market, while also expanding their brand exposure, and bringing in more sales to their business. This channel is auto-installed on stores that are eligible for Shop. As for how the transaction appear in your customer's bank, I can't say for certain how they appear, as their bank may show the information differently than others, but I recommend you reach out to our Live Team if you have questions about that information using this link: https://shopify.link/vRnL. -Imogen, Shopify Support
If you are a merchant think 5-times before you add Shop to your store. We had a customer who opens a dispute saying they did not received their order when we have an email confirmation they did receive their order. A month later they opened a dispute, we do not get any notification from Shopify nor Shop but an email from AFFIRM. We would never open this email thinking it's a scam since it states "Affirm Dispute Open One of your customers has opened a dispute regarding the following loan." We are waiting for this to be resolve to remove Shop from our store.
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to review our sales channel. I understand you've some issues in relation to Shop Pay Installments. Just to confirm, this doesn't actually relate to the Shop Sales Channel. You can have Shop Pay Installments active on your store completely independently from the Shop Sales Channel. If you have any other questions or concerns relating to this, please don't hesitate to reach out to us by starting a support request via this link - https://bit.ly/3NehLrk - so that we can authenticate you on the account and take a closer look. As the issue more relates to your online store in general, you may also reach out to Shopify support here - https://bit.ly/3EgQp0N . You can also read more about the dispute process here - https://bit.ly/3ngeyQX on the Shopify help center. Best wishes, Brian, Shop Support
The ad campaigns force you into a certain ROAS target. There is not much flexibility there. Also, the ROAS is not accurate because they count shipping and tax as part of the sale. The ROAS should only count for the actual price of the product. Saying a $11.51 sale achieved 599% ROAS when the actual product was $3.60 and the rest was shipping and tax, is incorrect and deceptive. The $1.92 paid for that sale was over 53% of the actual product price. So, the ROAS was actually 188% on that sale. Also, if someone buys something through the ad campaign, and they then cancel the order, you still pay for the sale in the ad campaign. They won't credit you. It should automatically be credited when that happens, in my opinion. Otherwise, you are opening up the retailer to fraud and extra cost. Imagine selling something and paying $10 for the sale through the campaign and then the order gets cancelled. How many of those before you have to stop using the SHOP campaigns? It's OK if you are trying to get new customers, but be aware of these problems under the hood, problems that should not exist.
Who does Shopify think it is that it can just install this app in my store? The absolute nerve. They spend all their time pushing garbage but when you need assistance, where are they? Making sellers jump through hoops and then not providing any assistance. Do not install another app in my store without our express permission.
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to review our sales channel. I understand you've some concerns about the Shop sales channel suddenly appearing in your store admin. You can find more specifics about your store's presence in the Shop app in Shopify's Terms of Service, section 9.6.7 - https://bit.ly/40LPejx . As mentioned here - https://bit.ly/42RJl6k , if your store meets the eligibility requirements outlined in the Shop Merchant Guidelines, then your store and products will automatically be listed in the Shop app and the Shop sales channel will appear in your Shopify admin. The reason for the addition of the sales channel is to give you the power to control how your store appears within the app, or to remove your store from the app if you don't wish to feature in it. You should also have received an email notification of this change in the past month. If you wish, you can opt out of Sell with Shop by following this guide - https://bit.ly/40qHDqX . You can also opt out of Shop Search by referring to this guide - https://bit.ly/3Zu6fhc . If you have any other questions or concerns relating to this, please don't hesitate to reach out to us by starting a support request via this link - https://bit.ly/3NehLrk - so that we can authenticate you on the account and take a closer look.
