BSS B2B Wholesale Pricing

Very quick response time, someone is always there to help us with any issues we are experiencing. Particularly when the prices on our site disappeared, the BSS guys helped us straight away and gave us a detailed response as to the reasons for the issue and ways to combat it in the future.

Works amazing, June was able to assist me efficiently and solve all of my issues! Support is awesome! Highly recommend using this for your B2B wholesale solution! This completely solved our custom discounted pricing with ease, after trying 10+ other pricing/b2b apps I can see with confidence this is by far the best one!

The app is good and works 99% of the time. Unfortunately it has a poor UI and it is extremely time consuming to make a rule for every product price. Other apps have much faster ways to update your pricing.

The team work hard when you have a problem.

Tom did an excellent job understanding our packaging situation and modified our B2B Wholesale Pricing App so we could charge appropriately for different levels of packaging. Tech support is in Vietnam, which means that you have to iterate once a day, but Tom was diligent in addressing product support needs. We iterated several times to get the checkout workflow experience I was looking for. Thanks for the great support.

I highly recommend this App. I have ever tried several Apps. I don't have any coding background. Other App always requires me to copy and paste the code. I was lost and had no idea at all. This is the easiest and the most convenient one. All I need to do is install the APP. Also, they have fantastic customer service. It makes me feel I don't only buy the products but also the service. Nguyen Quoc Cuong and Jonas provide me with instant technical support to resolve my issues.

This app was very easy to use for the purpose of having our customers fill out a wholesale registration form in order to create an account to shop. For the things we weren't able to figure out, the support team did a great job of assisting us and fixing all issues with minimal hassle on our end. Jonas N was extremely easy and pleasant to work with, and Nguyen Quoc Cuong worked behind the scenes to finish the technical work efficiently and exactly how we wanted. This made us feel really confident about using this app because we knew that we could depend on the support and technical teams

[UPDATE] While B2B has obviously taken great strides to address my previously reported issues, they are still missing the mark, especially regarding communication. B2B has begun sending out weekly updates to note the changes ALREADY made within the past week, but unfortunately all communication is still reactive, rather than proactive and there is no acknowledgement of basic change management practices. Ideally, we would love to be notified before new enhancements are put in production and given the chance to test with a test environment or at least update our own code to match. Instead, we are notified after-the-fact and in such general terms that we don’t always know the exact changes that were made. For example, there was a recent update to the API response received upon failure to update a price rule. The layout of the JSON response was so different from the previous responses that our process posting the updates could no longer recognize failures. This change resulted in hundreds of price rule updates failing without retries or notifications. End result: our catalog pricing is completely off and must be diffed back in. This has resulted in the lost of not only orders, but a partnership that was under discussion. All things considered, I am rather surprised that this is such a highly-recommended solution in the Shopify App store.

On the surface, it looks like a really good tool, but our experience has not been stellar. In the end, better communication and follow up would be a very helpful.
Here is a rundown on the issues we have/are encountering:

- The B2B/Wholesale team updates the app with no advanced notice and no release notes. Which wouldn’t be a big problem except that recently most updates have included changes that break the solution. This has resulted in a wide range of issues including - but not limited to - inaccurate pricing, inconsistent pricing, no pricing, and in the most recent incident – selling all items on the site for $5 each. Without advance notice we cannot even plan to test or be on alert for potential issues, which leaves us at the mercy of the customer reporting issues.

- Additionally app updates have – more than once – overwritten our custom code in various places on the site, resulting in inaccurate/incomplete information displayed to the customer. We have had to rollback or modify their changes several times to correct introduced bugs.

- We have two outstanding issues at present where:
o Liquid code contains multiple price rules for same item (only one rule defined) – customers may see either price (seems to be selected at random)
o In rare circumstances, the prices displayed to customer change when either added to the cart, or during the checkout process.

- Updates have been pushed to the API without warning and without documentation which changed how the API responds to calls, resulting – in one instance – in the creation of thousands of duplicate price records. The API online documentation has still not been updated to reflect these changes, though we did get them to rollback (or at least change again) the issue that caused the duplicate price records.

- We have submitted many tickets to customer support. While we have had great support on some tickets, others have been very poorly handled – in one instance our ticket was merged with a ticket from an entirely different customer and we started getting copied on that customer’s ticket updates, and we believe they were receiving our updates on the same issue including screenshots and documentation. In another instance our ticket was “merged with another ticket” and we never received another update; those updates are probably going to someone else.

Overall, need better release testing, communciation and overall process control while improving helpdesk ticket management and follow up.

Great support overall! The team was very helpful and responsive, especially Ruby, who provided excellent assistance throughout the process. They also handled our B2B requests quickly and efficiently.

Il est nécessaire de prendre un certain temps pour se familiariser avec son utilisation, toutefois l’équipe support se tient pleinement disponible pour vous accompagner.
Je tiens à adresser mes remerciements particuliers à Jeff et Ruby, ainsi qu’à l’ensemble de l’équipe technique pour leur engagement et leur efficacité.

Very good solution and efficient support. We had very specific demand for our B2B business.
