  • Way worse since Lightspeed purchase

    When Shopkeep used to run this App it worked well and support was good.

    Since Lightspeed has purchased that company the App performance is way worse. Crashing, more limited compatibility with accessories ((printers, scanners etc). And service is now terrible. “Account Managers” are overtly predatory sales people pushing for expensive plan and equipment upgrades that were never necessary before.

    I miss shopkeep and would dump this app in a second if there was something else with decimal quantity sales and inventory management with custom reorder points and reorder reports that export to excel (.csv)

  • so unreliable

    Constantly crashes between customers. Have to close and restart it every time we wake the ipad up. Card reader and receipt printer disconnects from the app seemingly on a whim. I’ve complained to the company before and they’ve blamed it on my Wi-Fi but that definitely isn’t the problem.
  • Been trying to activate register for a month

    Never really had a problem with shopkeep until light speed bought it. Our store has two registers and one randomly stopped getting updates one day so I tried to reset it and reactivate. That was a month ago, I’ve called and talked to people 4 different times and they can’t figure it out either. Last time I called, after 2 hours on the phone their solution was “go contact apple if you can’t download a fresh copy of the app”

    Please fix this or I’m switching to Shopify.

  • Started from the bottom & it’s still there

    All the app does is move super slow & it just loves to crash all the time. Customer service has either been extinct or doesn’t want to help you.
  • Horrible pod

    If I could give negative rating, I would. They blame our issues with internet connection, however we have had our internet tested multiple times with zero issues. Only issues is with ShopKeep. Today is last time I deal with them. They double credit charged customers and not one of those charges even paid us. Member since 2014….not any longer

  • Terrible customer care and garbage hardware/software

    I own a small cafe and when I purchased it from the previous owner they already sadly had ShopKeep. In the 6 months I’ve had them, I’ve gone through 4 iDynamo card readers with zero care or concern from ShopKeep or Lightspeed. Each session with them ends with them telling me I need better internet or doing yet another speed test which never resolves the fact that my cash drawer and printer stop working randomly, swiping cards works maybe 40% of the time. Dreadful product, and the absolute worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Go with Square or Toast

  • Developer support is non existent

    I have been using ShopKeep for 5 years in my retail liquor store. I have been asking to have a case-break function implemented into the back office for inventory (beer) management ever since. I’m not sure why it’s so difficult to add this feature. For 5 years proper beer inventory management has not been possible. If you have a retail business that breaks cases into singles, 6/12 packs this app isn’t for you. There’s no way to actually speak to a dev. Now it’s slow phone support which wasn’t always the case. The app looks cool and the pocket app is a nice feature, but my days of using this app to run my business are coming to an end.

  • iPad Bluetooth is working fine, but the app won’t connect to the card reader.

    Fix your connection issues with the Link/2500 and this app. Your about to lose a customer.
  • Buyer beware

    We’ve had nothing but problems with this app since installation. The Link2500 continues to disconnect from Bluetooth on our iPad, and will only reconnect after rebooting and re-pairing the card reader to the iPad. This is incredibly tiresome, especially during our rushes.

    Their help desk continues to feed me the same line to repair this issue, but I’m now convinced they either can’t or don’t know how to fix it. We’ve used this less than 90 days and are contemplating moving to another solution. Get it together ShopKeep!

  • Don’t do it!

    Similar to other reviews, nothing but glitches and malfunctions and constant troubleshooting. Customer Care expects you to stop sales in order to troubleshoot while trying to operate a busy business and has never once been able to solve the issue of my two registers never syncing, which means I have to void tons of double checks at the end of every day. What a nightmare. Currently transitioning over to Toast!!
