Amai PreOrder Manager + Notify

We are launching a product tomorrow and decided last minute to add a pre-order app because we know the product will sell out quickly. I had tried two other apps previously, but was not able to get the app working as quickly as I would have liked. After waiting a couple hours to hear back form their support, I became restless.

Third time's the charm right? So I downloaded Pre-Order Manager. I still had a couple issues, but the game-changer was the customer service. Their in-app chat feature had me connected with a support agent within seconds and I not have the button fully functioning after less than an hour. NOTE: My store has a custom theme, so I needed additional help with the code. I was also able to get the button on our quickshop page which is unavailable with the other apps I tried.

Thank you for for speedy, helpful guidance Eugenia :)

Great app! Setup simple, and easily workable. Only issue is a problem that comes up sporadically where it won't tag that the order was a pre-order, which means somewhere along the line a customer might not have confirmed or saw that the order was a pre-order, as it won't record the notes in the order. Not a huge problem as it comes up once every 100 or 200 units and is easilbly remedied by contacting customer to verify. Could be a compatibility issue with the customers browser, but it is really hard to tell, as to troubleshoot customers need to divulge this information and every-time their support tried to verify this issue, they were unable to replicate. But not a huge issue, just could be better here. Otherwise, I'd give 5 stars, UPDATE 2/2/2021: We finally figured out the problem I was having with customers not getting tagged or seeing the messaging/pre-order button! Be sure to select "all countries", as persons with VPN even though their VPN is located in USA, they won't be able to see the pre-order button and messaging. It would be even better though if the app were to work well with VPN with setting limitations to match the store limits. But it is ok.

Unfortunately, I cannot tell if this app is suitable for me, or not. The 7 day trial allows me to apply the app to only ONE product. I can't tell anything about how bulk editing works, I can't even know if the 'settings' that I change are universal or product specific. Additionally, the 'pre-order with discount' feature is switched off in the 1 product trial, so I cannot see how that works and how it displays on my site. If I want to know any of the above then I have to immediately pay the monthly fee. Rather defeats the objective of a free trial, methinks. UPDATE - thanks for the reply. I welcome the clarity. In my Shopify dashboard, it still mentions a 7 day trial. Additionally, I received an email from your Customer Success Representative who states "Should you wish to know more about how the App works? we are happy to offer a 1-month free trial if you decide to continue to use our app. Just let me know your Shopify URL and I will make a request to the management for a 1-month free usage. Do you want to clarify, further? FURTHER UPDATE - after removing the app from my store I found that not all the code was removed. This caused problems on my storefront and I had to remove the code manually.

This app does not work corerctly and made us have serious problems, so pelase read carefully. And each time you contact the support, they say it is not their fault, it is due to the cache. But even when you clear the cache the problem is still here. Don't install it, you'll get into many troubles. First : the worse problem we had with this app is that we fixed limits for per-orders (according to the stock we were about to receive) BUT the app didn't blocked the orders after the limits were reached. So we sold 711 items that we won't receive! You can imagine the problem of contacting and refunding 711 customers and the bad image of our company that it gives to the customers! Other problem : the message that appear above the button "pre-order" changes very randomly. So, in may 2020, our customers could see that we will deliver our pre-ordered goods in january 2020 ! Because it showed the previous message. And even if you clear your cache, it does not change but the support tells you that if you browse on "incognito tab" you can see the changes... but who browse in incognito tab actually??. Another problem : if you need an export of your pre-orders (for exemple to identify the 711 customers to who you've sold unexisting goods because of this app), then it does not work. The export keeps loading and loading but you get nothing except an error message. And when you contact the support they say "there is no issue, it works on our computers" but the problem is that it does not work on their customer's computer... I've even read another review with the same problem. In short : run away from this app, you'll save time and money and will avoid deluding your customers and you'll avoid losing credibility.

Awesome app, great customer service. Highly recommended

Really good app, client service reactive and present when needed. Congrats to all for the good job..

Great app and even better customer service! Very satisfied. I will definitely recommend this app to others.

Works well with good customization options, and any issues we had were quickly resolved. Highly recommended.

Best customer service ever! Super good follow up, even when not expected. Charie was so helpful and friendly. Greatly appreciate the support.

We've just installed this app and so far it works great. The response from the Spur IT team is really commendable. We had 1 small issue which was resolved within 24 hours.
