Setting up the StudentBeans offer on my Shopify store was a smooth and hassle-free experience. The integration process was straightforward, and I had no issues getting everything live. When I needed assistance with configuring the offer for my student customers, the support team was extremely helpful and attentive. They provided clear guidance and made sure everything worked perfectly. Highly recommend StudentBeans for anyone looking to offer student discounts easily!

I was looking for a way to offer student discount on my Shopify store and found Student Beans. Connecting the Student Beans app to my Store was extremely easy and it works perfectly. The Student Beans team have been very helpful from the start and efficiently responded to any questions I had. I am looking forward to reaching Gen Z with the help of Student Beans.

Great app and simple to set up. Working with the Student Beans Shopify team has been great. They took the time to jump on a video call and to work with us to best optimise our promotion to ensure success.

Very bad user experience, tampering with the user's discount page, and without any notification. Trying to cover up the problem and modify the relevant content in the navigation.
Very unprofessional, and customer service communication is also very imprecise.

Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback and we’re sorry for any frustrations.

Our engineers have looked into this and the issue you've highlighted is due to applying a custom design on top of the app’s, which is not a functionality that our app initially catered for.

Our app goes through continuous improvements based on our client’s needs and we appreciate that for brands, like yourself, who use this feature this issue is extremely frustrating.

To avoid such issues like this in the future this feature is something our team is already working on and we hope to resolve this as soon as possible.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of using the Student Beans app, and I must say that my overall impression was extremely disappointing. From the lack of support to the abysmal results, I found myself questioning the effectiveness of this platform for promoting my offer to students. Here's a detailed review of my frustrating experience.

First and foremost, the lack of support provided by the Student Beans team was truly disheartening. Furthermore, despite my efforts to create an appealing offer, the results were far from satisfactory. According to the app's analytics, less than five people visited my offer during the entire campaign. This dismal outcome not only raises questions about the app's user base and reach but also its ability to deliver meaningful results for businesses like mine. It's disheartening to invest time and resources into a platform that fails to deliver the promised exposure.

The lackluster performance of the Student Beans app in terms of driving traffic and conversions is concerning, especially considering the reputation it has built as a platform catering specifically to students. The minimal number of visitors to my offer suggests that the app's user base may not be as active or engaged as advertised, ultimately undermining the value of using the app for promotional purposes.

In conclusion, my experience with the Student Beans app was deeply disappointing. The lack of support, poor results, and overall ineffectiveness of the platform left me frustrated and questioning its value for businesses seeking to target the student demographic. I would strongly advise caution before investing time and resources into this app, as it may not deliver the expected outcomes.

Given the issues I encountered, I cannot recommend the Student Beans app for businesses looking to promote their offers to students.

It brings real students to the website, but the commission charge is too high, so running for a couple of months now I am uninstall it.

Trial starts before account gets verified so the free trial doesn't actually give u 7 days which is a little frustrating, in addition you can only communicate with them via email, so you are left waiting and hoping they will actually respond / reply to your email, for me personally not a great start but I'm going to continue to progress to see if there is any value in accessing the lead generation side of the platform, although after reading some of the reviews this seems to be over sold / promised and the actual conversions aren't anything special - is it worth the money and effort ??? decision is out on this, if I am able to update my review in a couple of weeks I'll report back
