XERO SYNC by BOLD

March 12, 2019

This app worked fine. But suddenly they upped the price. I would have paid a reasonable amount, but expecting me to pay up to $90 a month is nuts. People are trying to run businesses here. I assume they realised they were the only app so went all out to maximise their income. Greedy!

Useless, this app only imports certain orders, spoke with support over a number of days only to be told that they know it doesn't work, they don't know why, can't offer a work around or give us any idea on how this can be managed. No idea which invoices will be imported and which will be left behind. They also say they can not give me a time frame on when the bug will be fixed. Currently looking for alternatives. Avoid.

Buggy and incomplete. We faced number of issues that turned out to be bugs in this app. After weeks of exchanging emails and wasting our time, we were told its a bug and their developers "are working on it". One month later nothing has happened, ticket closed! This app is far from ready. It does not support multiple stores. It has issues importing taxes correctly. Randomly fails to import transactions and never imports them to Xero,...

It works for me which is to simply import sales from Shopify to xero. but at $60 a month not nearly worth it. I will be canceling shortly and just doing one monthly journal entry.

An easy piece of software integration that was free and now they are trying to charge an absorbent price. This is not worth nearly as much as Xero or Shopify, yet they charge the same. Simple Xero and Quickbooks integration should be a free app by Shopify.

One of the reasons we picked Shopify was that it was free to integrate with Xero. The writing was on the wall when they flogged part of it to Bold, but didn't expect the level of service to drop as it has. Then to find out we're being charged almost the same as our Shopify costs is a complete joke. Goodbye Shopify. You just lost our business.

Needs new pricing plans. Current structure not justifiable especially if your run Shopify as POS rather than e-commerce only.

I'm not happy with the charges at all, I spoke to Bold and was offered a few free months to figure things out. I will update my review in a few months time.

I have been using this app for a couple of years, worked well despite a few bugs here and there. The new pricing model is absolutely outrageous and is the reason why I will look for another solution to integrate to Xero. A shame.

Buggy app, sometimes orders magically disappear from xero... Now they want to charge for it? Classic scam, hook you until you're dependant, then charge you for it once you're integrated.

Feb. 26, 2019

absolute garbage. xero and shopify both market this to be a native integration. then bold gets involved to start charging for writing a bit of janky code - almost $250US / yr to export 200 orders / month! BOLD should be directed to remove the misleading marketing video at the top of this post immediately.

The new pricing structure feels like extortion! This is a really basic app that often doesn’t work in our experience and now they introduce fees without any justification at levels that seem unreasonably high. Very disappointing given the fees we are already paying to Xero. Very unhappy with this.

AVOID APPS BY BOLD COMMERCE. The app and team behind it remains an utter disappointment. Bloat features were added instead of fixing critical infrastructure. Customer support is absent. Sync breaks without notification. Errors are unsolvable and riddled with cryptic messages like "A NoMethodError occured when saving the order." Unsolvable 500 Error pages. Archived Xero Contacts are impossible to change. Navigation is a pain. The "Mapping" page never loads -- customer support mentioned that it does take 10+ minutes. There is no priority placed into resolving critical bugs for a semi-functional overpriced app. Bold will abandon you and your issues. Original review: Bait and switch scam. Pretended to be an official app by Xero, then started charging $20+/month without notifying users.

**UPDATE** Bold contacted me after leaving the review and offered to extend my trial (which I do appreciate). They said they were listening to the feedback and would possibly re-consider their pricing. Unfortunately it looks like they are sticking with the extremely high price they proposed. As I said in my original review (and when I spoke to them on the phone) $20/mo is way to high and they need to reconsider. ** I can certainly understand that Bold need to charge for the integration, but the pricing is much higher than it should be for a relatively straightforward integration. $5/month for a few hundred orders would be much more reasonable than the $20 that they are asking. Bold, please re-consider your pricing!

If I'm paying for Xero, I expect it to automatically pull transactions from multiple sources without the need to pay another company for the integration. Bad move by Xero and Bold. I might have to find another accounting solution.

Feb. 20, 2019

Absolutely shocking! I don’t understand the new pricing structure for such a simple function. It’s actually embarrassing that Xero and Shopify would be doing this! Buggy app, not supporting inventory, missing orders! What’s going on with this propel!

Feb. 18, 2019

Tolerated the many glitches, missing data, etc, etc, etc. only because the app was free. Shopify is great, Xero is great, this app not so much. Definitely not worth the fees they are asking for. We'll be looking around.

Feb. 18, 2019

Notice how all the 5 star reviews are from before they started charging ridiculous fees for the app. Seems exorbitant for the service they're providing, which is mediocre at best.

Feb. 10, 2019

I'll pretty much echo what a lot of other reviews have mentioned recently. For a free app it's ok. It works mostly but then the feed breaks down occasionally and there is no mechanism to notify you when it happens so you may not discover it until you do reconciliations in Xero and find that transactions are missing. I don't know about anyone else but I have my hands full with running my store and my business, I don't do this task everyday so that means it could be a month or so of a broken feed before I notice. The answer I got on this was "oops unfortunately that functionality is not yet available". Then on top of it, I get an email saying "we've done a lot of work on this app recently" blah blah "and now we want to charge a small fee for the app! Oh and btw, your fee based on volume of sales will be $59.99/mo!" I'm sorry what? Who considers $59.99 a month for an app that does no revenue generating, basically passes transactions back and forth (that's it), breaks down and is full of bugs, a reasonable, not to mention SMALL fee??? I emailed them expressing my outrage at the pricing and the fact that the app doesn't even work as it should and was told that yes they've done a lot of work on the app in recent times and will be doing more work in the future. Is there anything else we can help you with??? I had to laugh only because what is the other alternative! Money grab like no other, and very little value. Hate it and will be looking for other solutions ASAP.

this app used to work well and free, now Bold have it there have been a few settings challenges. we pay for Xero Fees and Shopify Fees and now the pricing plan for this app... That said, Brysen called me from Bold real quick and was outstanding support to resolve a setting issue. also discovered that you can only have 1x store connect but Bold are working on a new development to connect multi stores... GOOD ON YOU BOLD! thanks for the outstanding support :-)
