Misleading information of abilities. If you want to do Buy 3 (of any product) to get 15% off entire cart - this ap won't work, support confirmed its not possible. The % off only works if you buy 3 of the exact same product. This is useless for upselling, especially for digital products.

I wish I could say this app worked and helped us, but it just caused too many issues on our site and caused us a loss of revenue. We installed the app, none of the discounts were working (prices weren't changing on checkout), so we asked the Hulk team to help. They applied some fix on the live site (instead of a preview for us to approve) and on a Saturday (when no one can check and fix any issues), two huge mistakes and they broke things on our site! While deploying the fix, they deleted the Buy it Now button, made the quantity selector not functioning and crashed part of our homepage widgets (no images or links were showing anymore). I had to revert to an old theme on Monday and delete this app. When confronted with what they had done, the Hulk devs took no responsibility for any of the issues. They were the only ones who did any change to the site, all the logs and emails confirm its them, but they still deny it. Might be a Free app, but I'd rather pay for an app that has serious developers who take ownership.

I do not recommend it, it has very few modification options, besides it does not have options to assign prices for individual products. Also the support staff does not exert itself in helping or solving problems. Disappointed

The app is hard to configure by yourself, most probably it won't work and they have special hack for every theme.. I am very disappointed by their lack of communication and their bad intent. As from the moment I saw I can't make it work on my custom turbo theme, I opened a request for an installation. THEY REMOVED COMPONENTS FROM MY SITE AND BROKE CART FUNCTIONALITY. They are rude and told me that they have specified in their FAQ that it doesn't work with ajax cart, so they decided to remove it and letting the cart icon non-functional without asking me if i'd like their app at this risk... I wsdon't ever work with Hulk apps and I hope you take this into consideration. DON'T RISK YOUR SALES FOR THIS. Take care of your store and don't give them access.. they'll modify whatever they have to in order for their app to work. This is not even close to being a profeksional!
Hi there, Thanks for your feedback. However, we respectfully disagree. Our SLA policy is to answer every ticket within 4 hours. We do a great job and for dealing with 1000s of customers weekly and provide a FREE service. Our numbers this month. :) - https://nimb.ws/Ufr0XE In regards to the app hacking, that is not true. Most apps do inject code as it's the only way to add snippets and functionality. In many cases, not just with our apps, Sometimes themes aren't compatible out of the box due to customizations. This is entirely true for all of the apps in the marketplace. We do our best to make the process least intrusive but in some cases it does require custom work and our support team is on standby. I would appreciate you updating this review to reflect a more accurate assessment of our service and dedication to our customers and the Shopify Apps community. Thanks, Alen

Installed this and tried to get it working for quite awhile. Read through other reviews to finally find out that it doesn't work with Narrative.

Does not work with Narrative theme due to limitations with Ajax cart, so Cart Drawer does not show discounts for customers. The Cart Drawer makes the purchase experience more enjoyable and faster for our customers so unfortunately we were unable to utilize this app and have to stick with offering bulk discounts via coupon codes.

Won't work in the latest version of Safari 12.0.3, just bounces back and forth between store admin and HulkApps. Uninstalling.
Hi there, We are investigating the issue and have found that it's only with an older Mac operating system. We are working on rectifying this issue this week. If you need any other help, please contact our Support team and we are happy to help. Thank you for notifying us on this issue.

I asked for a simple code tweak to fix an alignment issue this app was causing on my cart page. Support asked for way too many permissions for my liking. Why does your staff need access to my orders, customers, marketing and reports for a simple code tweak. I've requested much more detailed work from other apps and never had to give access to these sections. Worse yet, my ask for a simple explanation as to why access is needed was met with a very poor response "Our developer needs access as mentioned". Yes, ok. But why? I'm happy to change my review once a proper explanation can be made, until then I will be uninstalling, as per Shopify's advice. My simple advice to other merchants is beware.
Hi there, We apologize for the confusion and miscommunication. You've been a user of ours since October. Recently, we introduced a major upgrade to our app that would have required an approval on app permissions and that's why one of our team members asked for full permissions. In fact, we've spoken to our team and have made sure we clarify needs or communicate properly with our clients to avoid these issues. It would be great if you can update the review if you feel this suffices. Otherwise, I'd be happy to discuss this further personally. You can reach me at a at hulkcode dot come and I'm happy to discuss this miscommunication further. Thank you.

I dont know why but sometimes all of products information was totally removed and i have to resync them which costed alot of times!
Hi there, Not sure what might have happened but once our app syncs, nothing gets removed unless there is another sync initiated by the user. Can you please let us know if you still require support and we are happy to jump in and help resolve any issues. Thank you.

This app provides basic quantity discounts and that part works well. However, an item which is not disclosed on their description page is this app does not work with Paypal Express Payment and other payment types from the Cart Page. It only provides proper discounts from the Checkout Page. If you offer Paypal Express Checkout or other Cart Page payments it won't calculate the discount for your customer. I found out the hard way. If they could fix this issue the app would be 4 stars. If they would update the app to allow different Discount Text per Offer versus one Discount Text to be used for all Offers this app would be 5 stars. Feb 26, 2019 update: Just discovered that the Shopify Discount Code is also disabled if a customer buys any products that use the HulkApp volume discount. HulkApp didn't tell us this limitation up front. They now have a work around (supposedly) but you have to add more of their code where you believe you need it... Part of the beauty of Shopify is being able to build a website without having to know code. This HulkApp drags you into coding. Be aware... Dropped my rating to a 1 star with this new information. I can tell that Support is trying to help but the solutions are often a bit cryptic for my skillset and involve editing code... Not where I wanted this to go.
Hi there, We understand your frustration. This is a limitation with Shopify and we are trying to prioritize our roadmap to allow for this functionality. As with many apps, our app can only do so much that is available through Shopify. For the tens of thousands of customers that use it, they have been super happy with our app and we will continue to improve and add features. Thank you.

Slowed my website down significantly and discount did not work. Also blocked Paypal Express option from being displayed.
Hi there, We aren't sure why the site slowed down as it shouldn't. If you still require help to rectify this situation, please reach out to us and we are happy to help free of charge. Thank you.

This tool make my cart totally down !!! As i made the mistake not to save my store since a week... ALL have been lost !!! VERY BAD APP, BE CAREFULL ! (and save before trying if you are mad)
Hi there, We are sorry about your issues. Our process lets you chose which theme and asks you to provide a backup of your theme as well. We are not sure if you manually did the installation and missed a step but we are happy to take a look and help do this for you free of charge. Every theme is different and one main reason why we offer installation support to help customers who lack the skill and knowledge working with code and do it for them. Thank you.

The app is completely misleading. I set up a promotion so my customers will save 10% for 1 item, 20% for 2 items, 30% for 3+ items...as the app suggests they can do. I paid for advertising and posted the offer on all my sales channels and social media. Only to get a heap of complaints that it only works if they purchase multiples of the same item. Who wants more than 1 of the same thing?! When I contacted support, they took hours to get back to me and fobbed off my issue saying "sorry we don't support this function". I've had to refund customers the difference, take down all my advertising and re-advertise at my own cost, as well as losing customers trust. Their marketing is completely misleading and the support is non existent.
Hi there, We are sorry that you misunderstood what our app does. It let's you create volume discounts as described. I hope you'll give it another try. Thank you. A

Didn't work at all after following all procedures and it changed the basic prices of some of our products. We need to re enter all the prices by hand now. A real nightmare!!!
Hi there, We're sorry you went through the pain to re-enter prices manually. But, this has never been reported and we're sure our experts can deal with this issue and get your theme back to the previous state. Kindly contact us, so our experts can complete the installation and also check and resolve any pricing issues. Thank you
