On the positive side, many users found the app incredibly useful for automating tasks and integrating different platforms like Shopify, CRM systems, and email providers. The ease of setup and the time-saving benefits were commonly praised. However, on the negative side, there were complaints about the pricing structure, lack of flexibility in refund policies, and issues with customer support. Some users mentioned difficulties in connecting or reauthorizing Shopify with Zapier, leading to frustration and wasted time. Overall, while the app offers powerful automation capabilities, there are concerns about pricing transparency and customer service.
How to leave a minus review for 2 hours of wasted time?!!! This app is supposed to connect our reviews to Trust Pilot -BUT what they don't tell you is that you have to PAY Trust Pilot for the Zapier app to send emails. They pretend it's set up - with btw "support" that "is that has a short limit of their time" and tells you they "Need to logs off because their done their work day" and leave you WITHOUT SUPPORT!!! During set up I had three agent log off because they were at their time, then started all over again and were unable to help.
Horrible experience!! Was directed to this by the AI tools, it performed one easy job well and I was excited to explore what else it could do. The yearly billing paused me for just a moment, as good products do not have to force some to use it for a year. But, the price is perfectly set up for scamming, good a mount but not scary enough take the risk. So, they got me. After a week of spending hours working with the AI to created the tasks I was working on and hitting ability road blocks over and over I realized I was missing something or it was beyond it's capabilities, I finally reached out to human support. Got a response two days later.. the response not only didn't fix the issue but it came long after I decided to throw in the towel. I asked to be refunded and was told they have a strict no refund policy by both human support and billing. Do not sign up for the free trial unless you have a great amount of time to fully test before committing. And absolutely do NOT sign on and less you are sure it will do what you need, you will not get your money back without reporting it as fraud!
I didn't like the tool or the fee structure (paying for each zap was completely unreasonable and made us look for an alternative). We were attempting to use it to integrate Shopify data into Pipedrive. It was very limited in what it could do, and again, annoyingly expensive since we receive dozens of orders, draft orders and customer contact updates so we decided to pay a consultant to set up the integration using n8n https://n8n.io/. Now we have a full integration that does exactly what we need it to do with no overhead costs and almost no maintenance. When I realized we were still paying for Zapier 6 months later, they did not want to refund any of the fees even though we had not been using their service. My mistake but it was overall, a very disappointing customer experience and i'm so happy that a better alternative exists.
As a long-time Zapier user (over 5 years), I expected better from a company I’ve trusted for automating critical business processes. Unfortunately, my recent experience has been extremely disappointing and has left me with no choice but to stop using their service. First, Zapier’s renewal practices are poorly designed, especially for a product costing over $1,000 per year. They send only one email notification about the upcoming renewal a month in advance. I attempted to downgrade my plan a month before renewal but encountered issues on their platform that prevented me from doing so. When the subscription renewed, I contacted their support team on the same day to request a downgrade, as no services had yet been used. Shockingly, they refused my request, citing inflexible policies that completely disregard customer satisfaction or fairness. Adding insult to injury, the customer service agent I dealt with was rude and dismissive, which was incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. Zapier has shown they do not value their long-term customers, and I can no longer recommend their service to other business owners. I’ve now stopped using Zapier entirely and will no longer recommend it to my clients. If you’re considering using Zapier for your Shopify store, I’d strongly advise you to carefully review their renewal and cancellation policies before committing. Their inflexibility and poor customer service make them difficult to trust for businesses that rely on transparent and customer-focused practices. I will be following up with a complaint to Shopify as I am not sure their "no refund" policy is in compliance with the app marketplace.
