What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants use this app to let customers build custom boxes and bundles for gifts, hampers, pick‑and‑mix, and kits. They report higher average order value and praise its flexible multi‑step rules, large catalogs, accurate inventory, and form fields for messages and dates. Design is clean and easily on‑brand, setup is quick, and support is frequently described as fast, proactive, and willing to implement custom tweaks.

The Deli Social - Birmingham. Downloaded to sell customisable Christmas hampers. This app is really easy to use and the support from Andy has been next level. It has built in steps that work really well together, and you can use form steps to get personalised messages. On top of this more than one automatic discount is available which is not part of the base Shopify software. We have been able to produce highly customisable products that are exactly what we were looking for. We are very impressed and would recommend it to anyone looking to have a customisable option on their products.

Thank you so much for such a detailed and positive review!

We're totally excited to launch our new box building option this week with the help of BoxBuilder:DIY Product Bundles. I tested a few other apps the past few days and nothing really compared to the design of this app. It seamlessly integrated into our theme so it looks like an actual part of our website, rather than a 3rd-party add on. We offer surprise boxes and a DIY system has been requested many times, so we really can't wait to share with our customer base. Plus, I had a minor issue with the cookie bar and Hamza from the support team fixed it in a matter of minutes. Big thanks to the StayTuned team!!! Great app!

Wow, thank you for this detailed review! We're really proud of how flexible and seamless Box Builder is, and it's just heartwarming when a happy customer points it out. Also glad Hamza had a chance to show off his impressive skills!

The app is fairly easy to use. Was able to setup some bundle products. But my issue is that I haven't been able to get support to respond to me about some of my issues. I've emailed them, but haven't received any responses. They also say there is a chat, but this feature doesn't appear anywhere for me. I essentially am having trouble with how the products show up in shipstation. The products come over as a product description instead of a line item of products in their bundle. So then we have to read through a paragraph of product names to try and figure out what needs to go in what box. If they came through as line items it would be 1000 times better.

Thank you for your direct and honest review. I'm truly sorry about your poor experience with Box Builder so far. We set high standards for ourselves and we have not met those standards.

I've reached out to you directly by email to get more details, and our team will start working on this immediately. You may be happy to hear that we do have a way to "unwrap" bundles to ensure they can integrate with automation software like ShipStation.

I will personally oversee this matter until it's fixed to your satisfaction, and we'll take steps to make sure we do better next time.

In redoing our website we were looking for a bundle app that fit what we were trying to offer - some preset items and then allow the customer to select x amount of other items. I tried about 10 other bundle apps which only allowed an already assembled bundle - not what we wanted. I did find one other that did what we needed but it was more to pay per month and the interface presented to the customer was not as nice. I was absolutely in love with the graphic that is displayed while “building your box” was the icing on the cake for deciding to go with this app. Looking forward to hopefully future improvements where we can choose multiple variants of the same item using the single display option.

Our team actually did a (virtual) dance party when reading this review, thank you! If you'd like, if you send us a custom gif, we can use it for the "building your box" graphic to make it feel even more fun!

We really appreciate your energy, enthusiasm and excitement for our app. We feel the same way 🤗

I spent hours and hours of time trying to find a "bundling" app that let me have options to choose different products. Most bundling apps seem to let you make a new product that gives the customer extremely preset options, if there are even options at all. With this app, we have given the customer the ability to build their own suspension kits for their vehicles, choosing from different brands and only selecting the products that they feel they need for their vehicle. The support was very helpful getting the colours and style to match our aesthetic and after a few emails back and forth, Hamza got our colours perfect, and we are very happy with how everything works and looks. Very happy with this app so far!

Your builders are now some of our favorites (and taught us a lot about suspension kits!). We are so happy to be peanut butter to your jelly, the cross-tube to your shackle.... (did we get that right?).

Thanks again for giving us a try, working with us and writing this review!!

We purchased boxbuilder for our 400+ products. What we like about this app:
- ease of use/set up : everything is intuitive, you do not need to be an expert to configure the app. It's also quick to set up.
- built-in options to customise the app the way you like
- speed: we were afraid the app would lag or slow the process of choosing products to add in the bundle as we have several hundred products to chose from. But no issues there, the whole process is fast and working 100%. UX good. - kind support
What we liked less about the app: so far, everything seems to be working fine so nothing to say here.
There are a few cosmetic changes that we wish(ed) to make and that are not available in the options (font size, color this or that, buttons here or there, etc) but the app's support has been very responsive and making the code changes as we asked.
... so we do recommend boxbuilder, you can safely try it out!
Cheers

Merci!!

We are so appreciative that you wrote a review for us, especially that you wrote such a detailed review for us.

Our app can be so helpful for merchants with large numbers of SKUs (like you), so we worked hard to ensure it was fast as lightning ⚡ to handle that many SKUs, and we are so happy you appreciate that speed!

Thank you again, and we are happy to support any more customizations you'd like!

I will start by saying that we aren't live with this on our site, so I can't yet speak to how well it works over time. I am hopeful that it will be a great solution for us and hope that the team is able to work through the glitches and get their app humming along consistently.

That being said, I tested out at least 30 similar type apps to try to find one that could do what we needed and this one is the ONLY one that checked all of the boxes for us. Some features that made this one stand out are:
1) the ability to show all of the variants individually as selections
2) the ability to select products by collection
3) the ability to create different selection criteria for each step of the box/kit/bundle creation. For instance, on step 1, a person can select 1 of the options, but on step 2, they can select 1-4 of the options
4) the ability to create forms that collect information throughout the box/kit/bundle building process
5) the ability to create customized tiered pricing depending on the items selected.
6) the ability to manage the product/variant inventory and have those updates reflect in the kit/box/bundles

I have experienced some glitches as I've been testing it, but migrating to their newest "Simple & Fast" option did solve the primary issue I was facing. The support team has been very responsive, respectful, and helpful as I've had questions or run into problems. So I am hopeful this will be an integral part of our new website and help things run smoother on the front end and the backend.

Hi team Pilla!

We feel so seen (get it??) Your review just made our day!

Your product selection is a perfect use case for our app, as it seems you sell single products, curated kits and build your own. We are eagerly awaiting to see your full site to see your plans for merchandising, so we can continue supporting you.

If you experience any more glitches, shoot us a note and we will work with you to resolve.

Thanks again for giving us a shot (get it? We are having lots of fun with glasses and shooting jokes 🤓)

DO NOT download this app - when it stops working, there is literally zero customer service. Zero response. We're scrambling to find a replacement since this is non-functioning and no one will get back to us after FOUR DAYS of repeated inquiries.

I sincerely apologize for the issues you've encountered with our app, and for the unacceptable response time from our support team. I understand how important it is to receive a prompt response from support when needed, I'm sorry that we've disappointed you, we've clearly let you down.

I'll reach out to you personally and hopefully, you'd give us a chance to make your experience better. Again, I apologize. I hope to hear from you soon.

Respectfully yours,
