We run a B2B wholesale store on Shopify and needed something fairly specific: an automatic tailgate surcharge that would apply whenever a customer's cart exceeded certain amount.
​
​
I came across VOL Extra Fees and reached out to their support. Within minutes, I was welcomed personally by Vugar, the founder himself.
And this wasn't your typical customer support experience.
Instead of sending me a generic response or asking me to spend hours figuring out settings, Vugar immediately wanted to understand our business requirements and offered to handle the entire configuration himself.
His exact philosophy was something along the lines of: “Life is too short to spend time setting up a fee app.”
I couldn't agree more!
What impressed me was how straightforward and personal the interaction felt. I explained that we needed a tailgate fee triggered by a specific cart value, and Vugar immediately understood the requirement and offered to configure it through Shopify collaborator access.
There was no unnecessary technical jargon, no complicated onboarding process, and certainly no shortage of personality. At one point, I even received a Forrest Gump GIF. Apparently, founder-led technical support at VOL also includes entertainment.
For a wholesale business, having flexible fee rules is important. Not every business operates with standard shipping charges or simple flat fees, and being able to discuss specific requirements directly with someone who understands Shopify makes a real difference.
We're still working through the setup, so I can't speak to long-term performance just yet. But the support experience has already been refreshingly different.
If you're running a B2B or wholesale Shopify store and need conditional fees, surcharges, or more advanced pricing logic, VOL Extra Fees is definitely worth exploring.
And if you happen to speak with Vugar, be prepared. You might come looking for a fee solution and leave with a few laughs along the way.
Great first impression, genuinely personal support, and a founder who clearly enjoys helping merchants.
Highly recommended based on the onboarding experience so far!

I have to say, this review made me laugh — especially the part about Forrest Gump and our slightly unconventional support style! 😂 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience.

Your B2B tailgate surcharge requirement is exactly the kind of scenario we enjoy tackling at VOL. Every wholesale business has its own rules, and I believe merchants should be able to explain what they need without having to become technical experts just to configure a fee.

And yes, I stand firmly behind my philosophy: life is too short to spend hours setting up a fee app! 😄 That's why I prefer getting involved personally, understanding the workflow, and handling the technical side whenever possible.

Earning your trust during onboarding is a great start, but making sure the app delivers what your business needs is what matters most.

Thank you for giving VOL Apps a chance. Proud that we made everything run smoothly for Omni Food Equipment.

And don't worry — the technical support will remain professional, even if the GIF collection occasionally gets out of control. 😂

We implemented this app to apply a small-order surcharge, helping to encourage customers to place orders above a minimum quantity. The setup required a specific fee to be added automatically to the cart, and the support team was excellent. They responded promptly and had everything configured and working correctly on the same day. We're very pleased with both the functionality of the app and the quality of customer support.

Thank you so much for this fantastic review! 🙏

Your small-order surcharge was a great example of why we built VOL to be flexible. You had a very specific goal—not simply adding another charge, but using the fee logic to encourage customers toward the right minimum order quantity for your business.

I’m really glad we could understand the requirement, get everything configured, tested, and working on the same day without turning it into a long technical project.

And I have to say, helping Radical Rubber configure fees was easily one of the more memorable store names I’ve had in my support chat. 😄

Thank you for trusting VOL Apps and for recognizing both the product and the people behind it. If you come up with another “radical” fee requirement, you know where to find me.

We installed VOL Extra Fees because we needed to automatically apply a 50% tariff fee specifically to our USA customers.
​

From the beginning, Vugar was extremely transparent about what was and wasn’t technically possible. He explained how location detection works on our Shopify plan, including the limitations and edge cases, rather than simply promising that everything would work perfectly in every situation. I really appreciated that honesty.
​

What impressed me most was how personally involved he was in the setup. Vugar didn’t just tell us which settings to change—he configured everything for us and created a safe test setup first so the fee would only appear for our test customer account. This allowed us to confirm that everything was working before exposing the fee to our actual USA customers.
​

Once we were ready to go live, he coordinated the activation with us in real time because we were also updating our USA pricing at the same time. He then tested the live setup himself using a US VPN and sent us screenshots so we could verify exactly what our American customers would see. The 50% tariff fee was applied and calculated correctly.
​

The support throughout the entire process was exceptional—responsive, patient, knowledgeable, and also genuinely fun to work with. Vugar was even available over the weekend to coordinate the launch with us.
​

If you have a complicated fee, tariff, or location-based surcharge requirement and want someone who will actually take the time to understand your business and help you test everything properly, I would absolutely recommend VOL Apps and Vugar.

Thank you for taking the time to document the whole experience in such detail; 🙏 this one genuinely means a lot.

I’m really glad you appreciated the transparency. I’ll always prefer saying “here’s what’s possible, here’s the limitation, and here’s how we can safely test it” rather than making a perfect-sounding promise.

The best part for me was doing the rollout together: isolated testing first, coordinating the live activation, checking the actual customer experience, and only then being able to say, “Yes, it’s working.” That’s the standard I want VOL support to have.

And despite all the technical tariff talk, somehow we managed to have a good laugh along the way too. 😄

Thank you for trusting us with Ferri Seeds. Your incredibly detailed and thoughtful review is sincerely appreciated by me and the whole VOL team.

Amazing app that has helped us scale by being able to charge specific fees with easy set up.

Customer service is another level, with quick responses no matter what time i message

Four months with us and “helped us scale” — that’s the part of this review that really made my day. 🙏

Adding a fee is one thing. Knowing that the flexibility to create specific fee rules is actually helping your business operate and scale is much more meaningful to us.

And yes… the “no matter what time I message” part might reveal that my relationship with sleep could use some improvement 😂 But seriously, when something affects a merchant’s live store, I don’t like leaving them waiting unnecessarily, lol, just can't sleep.

Thank you for trusting VOL Apps over these past four months. It’s been a pleasure having your stores with us, and we’ll keep being here as you grow.

Cannot fault the support from Vugar, he's absolutely gone above and beyond to get the fees/tariffs for both EU and US sales set up on my website and configured it to match my business branding.

In his own words our setup wasn’t completely straightforward and required some custom configuration around fees for different locations, but he took the time to work through everything properly rather than just giving me instructions and leaving me to figure it out.
​
He personally configured the setup, tested it, explained how I could test the different country scenarios myself, and kept me updated throughout the process. It took a little time to get everything exactly right, but I really appreciated that he cared about getting it right rather than rushing it.
​
Very responsive, friendly and genuinely helpful. It feels like you’re working directly with someone who actually cares about how the app works for your store.

Really happy with the experience so far and appreciate the late-night banter whilst he worked away behind the scenes.

Thank you Vugar!

This review genuinely made me smile — especially the late-night banter getting an official mention 😂 Thank you!

Your setup definitely gave us a few puzzles to solve. EU fees, US tariffs, different location scenarios, custom configuration, and then making the whole thing actually look like it belongs on Sealy MacWheely rather than something an app dropped onto the store. But that’s also what made it fun to work on.

I’m particularly glad you mentioned that we took the time to get it right rather than rushing it. I’d much rather spend an extra hour testing different scenarios with you than say “done” and leave you discovering an edge case later.

Thank you for trusting me with your store after only a few hours of using VOL. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you — and apparently our support package now officially includes late-night banter at no additional charge. 🤪

I cannot say enough good things about the support I received from Vugar and the VOL Apps team. We needed to implement two separate fees on our Shopify Plus B2B store and ensure they worked correctly with our ERP integration. From the moment I reached out, Vugar was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and committed to helping us get everything configured correctly.

What impressed me most was the speed of service. We encountered a few issues during testing, and Vugar worked through them immediately, making updates, testing fixes, and communicating with me every step of the way. Within a very short timeframe, he not only resolved the underlying issues but also made additional improvements, including preventing customers from removing the fees during checkout and ensuring our production and sandbox environments were synchronized.

Throughout the entire process, Vugar remained positive, patient, and genuinely invested in our success. He proactively verified configurations, answered every question, and was available in real time while we completed end-to-end testing. When testing was complete, everything worked perfectly and integrated seamlessly with our ERP exactly as intended.

Exceptional customer service is hard to find, but Vugar delivered an experience that exceeded expectations. If you're considering a fee or surcharge solution for Shopify and want a team that stands behind their product with fast, knowledgeable, and friendly support, I highly recommend VOL Apps. This was one of the best app support experiences I've had in the Shopify ecosystem. Based on both the product and the support alone, this app is an easy five-star recommendation.

Wow. I had to read this one twice. Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review—it genuinely means a lot to me and our entire team. 🙏

Your setup was exactly the kind of challenge I enjoy working on: two separate fees, Shopify Plus B2B, ERP integration, sandbox and production environments, and making sure customers couldn’t accidentally remove required fees. There were quite a few moving pieces, so seeing the full end-to-end test finally run perfectly was just as satisfying for me as I hope it was for you. 😄

I especially appreciate you mentioning the communication throughout the process. When a merchant is testing something that touches real orders and an ERP, “it should work” simply isn’t good enough. We wanted to test it properly, fix the edge cases as they appeared, and know that everything was solid before calling the job finished.

Thank you for trusting me and VOL Apps with such an important part of your B2B workflow. Reviews like this remind us why being hands-on with our merchants matters so much.

It was genuinely a pleasure working alongside the Starmark team. And as your setup evolves, you already know where to find me. 😊

This app solved our issue of not being able to add on a setup fee to custom created pieces at check out. It was a simple affordable solution for us that will make a big difference in cutting down time for our sales team. Customer service was prompt and extremely helpful.

We've been testing this app for a couple of weeks now and it works great. It's given us a way to charge users for ice packs and insulated shippers when they buy products that are at risk of melting in transit. We had some questions during initial setup and configuration and the developers were super responsive and helped us get it working the way we wanted it to right away. I would reccomend this app if you're trying to automatically add fees.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review! 🙏

It’s fantastic to hear that the app is helping you automatically add fees for ice packs and insulated shippers. Supporting these kinds of real-world use cases is exactly why we built it, and we're thrilled it’s working so well for your store.

I'm also glad we could answer your setup questions and get everything configured the way you wanted without delay. We believe every merchant has unique requirements, so we're always happy to help tailor the app to fit your workflow.

Thank you for trusting VOL Apps and for recommending us to other merchants. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to helping your business continue to grow!

Amazing app. Amazing service.
We had 75+ fees to build (and then duplicate across 12+ stores).

Vugar and the team helped expedite the entire process and ensure all the fees ran smoothly (and in accordance with all rules).

We had tried many other fee apps and our unique setup broke every one of them. VOL is still working perfectly 2 weeks in.

Highly recommend!

Thank you so much — this one genuinely made my day! 🙌

Seventy-five-plus fees across 12+ stores was definitely not a “quick little setup” 😄, but we were determined to get every rule working properly and consistently.

I’m especially glad VOL succeeded where the other apps struggled and that everything is still running smoothly two weeks later. Thank you for trusting us with such a complex setup and for the fantastic recommendation.

We’re always here if next store decides to join the party.
