About SampleGuard ‑ Order Approval

SampleGuard stops selected orders from being fulfilled until they have been reviewed and approved. Create approval rules using order value, discount codes, customer tags, product tags, requester email and other criteria. Matching orders are held and routed to the right approver. Approvers can approve or reject orders in one click from secure emails, with every decision recorded in a clear audit trail.

Fantastic app that can be applied to a range of business instances including sample orders, orders that require approval, discounts etc. The creators are very lovely and supportive, willing to hear your specific requirements and add additional services were possible.

The free version does the job beautifully already but the premium version is worth every penny and a must-have if your brand is like ours, needing a sophisticated, reliable gifting solution that keeps marketing, finance and operation teams happy. My favourite feature is the "one-click" approval over email with full audit trail. Kudos to the world class customer support Dan and his team provides.

We tried SampleGuard for a specific client need and it worked great. We offered it to other clients so companies can approve purchases and it has been a tremendous benefit.

The approval emails and one-click approval process make SampleGuard really easy to use day to day. We were able to automate workflows very quickly and it has removed a lot of manual communication between teams before orders are approved and dispatched.

SampleGuard has significantly reduced manual order checking for our operations team. The automation and approval workflows save time every day, improve visibility before fulfilment and help prevent avoidable shipping errors. The ShipStation integration also works very smoothly.

We use SampleGuard to manage sample and internal approval workflows before fulfilment. It has helped us reduce shipping mistakes, improve visibility for our operations team and create a much clearer approval process inside Shopify. Setup was straightforward and the app has been very reliable.
— Yoke Wellness
This approval app is exactly what I have been looking for. There's nothing out there like it. Dan was a great pleasure and easy to work with. He and his team of developers where EXTREMELY helpful. The ShipStation integration is an absolute time saver and is fully automated. This app is perfect for anyone who needs to have an approval process in place for samples, warehousing, or internal sales.
