Manage Comics 2 Subscriptions

Easily the most important application we use on a weekly basis. It 100% allows us to order way more easily on those titles you NEED to be tight on, because they are just future dollar bin fooders. For the big titles, the ones you don't remember who the 30-50 people are subbed to every issue, the easy process to check in every week gets your pull boxes done faster. Is it perfect? Not yet. But nothing is, and every software update gets us more features we're all desperately looking for!

Absolutely frictionless way for your customers to buy and subscribe to comics. We've been open for 14 years, and we've added more recurring customers in the last few weeks than we have over nearly any other similar period. On top of that, the team at Manage Comics is super-responsive to both bug reports and feature requests. It's a constantly evolving platform guided by a knowledgeable team, based on a logical view of the comics retail landscape. You're not the best comics shop you can be without an online subscription platform, and Manage Comics is a terrific solution.

This app has really help my customers order all the variant covers they wanted easily and really helps manage all the subscription changes. It saves time and energy.

This app is the best reason to use Shopify! Support is the best I've ever encountered! App makes getting new customers so easy! We're signing up new customers daily!

This app has made our lives a whole lot easier! Support from Brian and the gang is top notch! They are constantly improving the app and take user feedback very seriously.

We moved from ComicHub to Manage Comics early in 2021. The update to Manage Comics 2.0 was a game changer! One thing I'd like to highlight is that Brian & team are super transparent about updates, fixes, and longer-term improvements. When they say, "We're working on this," I know that they mean it and we'll see it. They listen to comic shops and have a really great sense of what comics shops need. They are also superstars at responding when any issue comes up!

Manage Comics makes our jobs as comic book retailers easier. Full stop. Its integration with Shopify means that we can have a best-of-breed e-commerce experience AND empower existing and new customers to manage their subscriptions themselves. We know every comic shop is different. Manage Comics doesn't force you to change the way you do business. Instead it exists as an additional tool for automation and growth. Brian and his team are responsive, courteous and dedicated to the platform and the direct market. Highly recommended.

Mange Comics 2.0 has been tremendously helpful in my little shop's growth. What started out as a hobby has now become a fulltime job and is still growing. The ability to easily add and remove titles for customers pre-orders and subscriptions has saved a lot of time!

I was very hesitant to move my site into Shopify so I could start using Manage Comics, but now that it's all done, I can tell you I cannot imagine going back. Almost instantly I saw customers add more books to their subscriptions and weekly tasks have become much quicker to accomplish. With approx 50% of my customers being online customers, posting weekly new releases to the website would take 3 to 4 hours. Now I can accomplish this task in under an hour and also include information like artists, writers and genre with no extra work.

Prepare to shed tears of joy, my fellow comic retailers, for I have discovered the Infinity Gauntlet of comic management – and it goes by the name of Manage Comics! Let me paint you a picture: imagine if you will, wrestling with a comic management system so convoluted, so baffling, that deciphering it felt like deciphering the Da Vinci Code after a night of drinking pan galactic gargle blasters prepared by none other than Zaphod himself. My dear friends, such was the harsh truth of my existence. But fear not, like Gandalf showing up at first light on the fifth day - Manage Comics has arrived to help turn the tide of battle against impossible-to-understand comic management systems! Gone are the days of staring blankly at my screen, wondering if I accidentally activated a self-destruct sequence instead of updating my special orders. With Manage Comics, managing our subscribers is as easy as pie – and believe me, I've eaten a lot of pie in my day. The interface is smoother than a freshly waxed Batmobile, and the user experience is so intuitive, you would think that Jarvis himself is running the servers (I’m still not entirely sure that’s not actually the case). Got a question? They are your go-to-person-in-the-chair! Go ahead and try to stump them. I asked them once for the winning lottery numbers and they sent them right over! I’m still waiting for them to hit, so next time I think I need to be more specific on the day - but for all things comic and subscription based, they as knowledgable as Yoda and quick as the Flash with their answers! So, if you're tired of feeling like you need a PhD in quantum electrodynamic particle physics just to do your FOC, do yourself a favor and switch to Manage Comics. Your sanity – and your comic subscribers – will thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with my newfound comic management bliss. We’re having pie!

Manage Comics has been a keystone in our move to Shopify sales and instrumental in streamlining our check-in process. The support from Brian and the team has been top-notch and I really can't believe it took us as long as it did to make the commitment. Now there's no turning back. From Brian's weekly livestreams to the direct support, Manage Comics is a no-brainer that I would recommend to any comic shop looking to maximize their time as well as their online presence.

This is an incredibly useful app to help sort and sell comics and increases customer engagement with your store. The people behind it are kind, thoughtful and have an awesome vision for the future of the comics industry in general.

I was hesitant to move over to Manage Comics since I was used to doing everything manually, but boy am I glad I did. This streamlines the ordering & invoicing process. Pulling books & ordering items couldn't be easier now. Plus now we have more time to manage the other parts of the business instead of messing around with monthly catalogs 24/7. Brian is always available for questions & support. Moving to MC was fast & easy. One of the must-have apps if you sell comics on Shopify!

Brian and his team are TOP! Hopefully we'll work together in the not too distant future! Thanks again!

Manage Comics simplifies ordering & invoicing in a clean and precise manner. Pulling books & ordering items is fast and easy. no more missed or forgotten pulls for our customers. and the customers love it. They can pick the picks right off of our web site and be assured they will get it. definitely a must for all comic shops. Brian is always available for questions & support. And responds immediately. A true professional and cares for his business and his customers.

We switched from annoying and error-prone Excel spreadsheets to Manage Comics and have never looked back. At first glance, $80 might seem like a lot, but when you consider how expensive it would be to program a custom app that does everything MC does, incl nearly flawless integration with Shopify, and takes on the daunting task of synchronizing data updates from multiple suppliers... It's a small miracle that MC exists, and we simply couldn't run our Single Issues business without it. The comic book business, with its numerous variant covers, publishers, and distributors, is highly complex, and even Manage Comics faces challenges in managing it. However, the customer service is prompt and always strives to quickly resolve issues. Five stars from us!

Saves us a ton of time and is incredibly accurate. Brian and the team are doing an excellent job.

Manage Comics is by far the best option for comic shops, large and small. We were looking at a replacement for ComicSuite and the opportunity came to do so we jumped on board. One ring to rule them all. With the industry change to multiple distributors, it became a bit of a nightmare to handle in our old system. With ManageComics it is easy! Ordering is a quick process and pull lists are accurate and easy to complete! Support is incredible and the personal connection we have with the staff is top notch!!

Manage Comics has boosted my bottom line by a considerable amount. Besides the immediate financial boost, the efficiency of Manage Comics has drastically reduced labor costs. Ordering and receiving product is noticeably easier. Shopify integration has allowed me to open up new channels and introduced my to a vast array of tools to improve the business and customer experience. The Manage Comics team is also quick to respond with any technical issues. Highly recommended for anyone looking for Direct Market product management software.

We currently use Manage Comics for weekly releases only, but what a time saver this is! We would not list new releases on our website if it wasn't for this app, so I can't say enough. Easy to use, helpful developer, and worth the money.
