Domestic Platypus review for teelaunch: Print on Demand

Sept. 22, 2018

BE SURE TO REVIEW PERMISSIONS BEFORE INSTALLING Turnaround times are 5-7 business days *from the time they enter production* which is much longer than average for same product types. All orders are also placed on mandatory 24 hour hold before being processed, adding further delay. TeeLaunch is requesting an extremely high level of access & authority which is completely unnecessary and unrelated to their stated function. This includes access to ALL customer data whether related to TeeLaunch orders or not, control over all pages, the ability to create redirects and modify shop coding. Support's first step was to demand even further control. I placed three initial orders. The orders were pushed to TeeLaunch and appeared under the orders tab in the app. However, shortly thereafter I received a message insisting that the shop's master fulfillment setting be changed to "Automatic" or the orders would not be processed. Three days after the initial order was placed it still had not progressed from pending to production. As confirmed with Shopify support, this is not only unnecessary but highly unadvisable. TeeLaunch's API already had authority well beyond what was needed to create products, receive, process and fulfill orders. Further, the only legitimate difference between "Manual" and "Automatic" master fulfillment settings is whether the shop owner/staff need to click 'Request Fullfillment" prior to the order being pushed to the app. Pressed on the issue, TeeLaunch support staunchly stood by the requirement and refused to fill the orders until it was done. When the extent of the permissions granted to the app were reviewed, I confronted support about the extremely suspicious degree of access & authority and asked their reasoning. I received a one sentence response: "I can delete the app." Strongly advise any shop against installing this app until is reviewed further by Shopify and requested permissions are curtailed to necessary and applicable functionality.
