    What merchants praise

    “App works well, doesn't rely on same lines of code other apps do - ie that 'Continue Selling When out of Stock' checkbox.”
    Good Squish · 5★

    What merchants complain about

    “Ran into a problem with this app. When you check the box on Shopify to "sell when items are out of stock", the app unchecks this box when you mark items through the app as being available again. If you're unaware that this happens then all of your stock will still be set to pre-order through Shopify and customers can't purchase them. Apps shouldn't control your store settings, so will be uninstalling and looking for something else. Took a very long time to figure out the app was causing this problem.”
