FAQ’s
Store Questions
Our proprietary Brand Sauce fulfillment application connects with Shopify, receives orders, and intelligently routes the orders to the correct providers, ensuring that your customers receive their orders efficiently and with a very low margin of error. It’s built on Ruby on Rails — the same technology that Shopify uses to power its shops!
Absolutely! The majority of sales come from promotions. Our clients use these coupon codes and gift cards for new hire gifts, holiday giving, rewards, to attract potential clients, as thank-yous for new clients, pre and post event gifts, and more!
Brand Sauce is powered by Shopify, so there are many payment methods to choose from! Your shop can be configured to accept credit cards, Apple Pay, Shop Pay, G Pay, and even Bitcoin through BitPay. We enable clients to use CODES so that their monthly invoices reflect which offices or departments made purchases.
Current lead times are 12-14 business days for production. Before COVID it was 7-10 days and we hope to get back to that in 2022.
Brand Sauce doesn’t receive a margin on shipping. Some of the major shipping carriers have continued to raise their rates to account for the c19-induced supply chain disruption and because of this, shipping prices will fluctuate. We use a shipping calculator which takes into account the weight of the items, the size of the box, the ship-to address and whether or not the delivery is to a home or an office. In general, shipping for lightweight items is around $6.
We do not take returns if somebody orders the wrong product. If the product is defective in any way then the customer can send us a picture and we will send them a new product for free.
We’ve never had a problem with this. We’re able to monitor all orders placed in real-time. Our software will flag any orders that seem suspect. The majority of our orders are processed on-demand with and printed at order time, so we have plenty of time to cancel orders if necessary.
