１年ほど使っています。導入当時からバグや不具合でトラブルが多かったのですが、他に似たようなアプリがないため導入しました。
1年経っても運営に致命的な不具合などが続いています。
一度導入すると移行なども容易ではないので、おすすめしません。
・ランク別の顧客セグメントはshopify側に反映されないため、その内容を毎月レポートで送ってくれるというが、リマインドしなければ送ってこない
・送ってくるデータの形式も違うことがあるし、ランクが間違っていることもあり、毎回手動で確認している
・shopify退会済みで個人情報を削除した顧客(ダミーアドレスになっている)がデータが紛れている
・shopifyで個人データ削除ずみのはずなのにポイントメールを送ってる
Our store is migrating from Magento to Shopify Plus. In our previous loyalty program, points did not rely on discount codes, and the rules were simple. For example, users earned 1 point for every dollar spent, and 10 points could be redeemed for 1 dollar. A maximum of 20% of the total order amount could be paid with points. However, upon moving to Shopify, I found that all loyalty programs are poorly implemented. All point redemptions must rely on discount codes. Although Shopify allows a maximum of 5 discount codes to be used, it does not allow for a cap of 20% on the amount. For our existing users, using discount codes has become complex and unfamiliar, making the payment process very cumbersome. If we set the rule that discount codes obtained through points cannot be combined with other discount codes, it defeats the purpose of the loyalty program. If there were an app that could resolve this issue, our team would be willing to pay more for a subscription.
Additionally, every discount voucher redeemed with points generates a separate discount code in the backend, which does not get automatically deleted after use. Over time, this results in many expired or used discount codes cluttering my backend discounts list, making management very cumbersome. This is the most difficult and confusing feature. It would be much better to create an automatic discount code that users could access each time they redeem a discount code, eliminating the need to generate a new fixed discount code (which is a problem with our current app).
Since we are migrating from Magento to Shopify, we need to transfer old users' points to Bon. However, the app states that bulk importing of user and points data is allowed, but we must submit our data files to the Bon technical team for them to complete the bulk import. This is such an unfree and uncontrollable solution. I have to first contact customer service to make the request, then wait for them to submit a ticket to their technical team. By the time all the data is processed, it will already be two days later, and during that time, I don't know how many staff members have handled my customers' data. This is clearly not rigorous, not secure, and lagging. Old users could only use their points after the third day when Bon finished processing.
Hi Curtarra,
We recently noticed your review and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. We've sent you an email with additional details and would greatly appreciate it if you could check it at your earliest convenience. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we’re always committed to providing you with the best experience.
Here are a few clarifications regarding the points you raised:
1. Discount Mechanism
From the beginning, we confirmed that the discount mechanism is managed by Shopify. To ensure accuracy, we also escalated your request for a 20% discount cap based on the total order value to Shopify API Support. After thorough discussions, Shopify also confirmed that BON, as a third-party app, operates within Shopify’s API limitations. Unfortunately, they do not offer control over discount stacking thresholds.
However, Shopify confirmed that merchants using Shopify Plus can leverage Shopify Scripts to customize discount logic, such as setting maximum thresholds. We’ve shared their confirmation with you via email for your reference, and we encourage you to consider this option.
2. Discount Codes Management
If managing expired or used discount codes has been a challenge, we’re happy to explore possible customizations to address this situation.
A quick note: These codes are intentionally visible to allow customers to track redeemed rewards, even if unused immediately. This design helps reduce potential confusion or complaints from customers and is intended to benefit merchants.
3. Points Import Process
Based on our records, the points import process was completed diligently and within less than 24 hours. However, we’re sorry to hear that it felt inconvenient or lengthy to you.
To clarify, this feature isn’t publicly available to prevent errors caused by incorrect formatting (as experienced in the past). By entrusting this process to our experienced Dev team, we ensure accuracy and safeguard sensitive data like points, giving you peace of mind.
Once again, we sincerely value your feedback and hope this clarifies the concerns you’ve raised. We’re looking forward to hearing from you and working towards your satisfaction. 🙏
I had an extremely disappointing experience with BON's review app. I initially signed up to test their service but quickly realized it was not suitable for my business. Unfortunately, their ridiculously short 3-day trial was not enough time to properly evaluate the app, and I mistakenly overlooked the trial expiration. The moment the trial ended, I was automatically charged, without any clear refund policy in place.
When I reached out to BON's support team to explain the situation and request a refund, they flat-out refused—even though I never actually used the service beyond the trial. Instead of showing any understanding or flexibility, they just gave me a copy-paste explanation about Shopify handling charges and pushed a "special offer" as if I was still interested in using their app.
This is a terrible way to treat customers, especially for an app that should be building trust and credibility. A good company would stand by their service and offer a refund if a customer finds the product unsuitable. Instead, BON chooses to trap users with a barely-there trial period and then refuses to accommodate reasonable refund requests.
If you're considering this app, beware of their predatory billing practices. There are plenty of better review apps out there with fairer policies and better customer service. Stay away unless you want to risk being charged for something you don’t want! ❌
Hi Linenly,
First and foremost, we deeply apologize for the frustration this experience has caused you. This was never our intention, and we’re truly sorry for any inconvenience.
Please allow us to clarify the solutions offered in our previous message was our goal to ensure you didn’t miss any features that might be helpful or to see if we could offer suggestions to make the app work for your business - in case you were still interested. However, we completely understand if this wasn’t the right solution for you, and we regret not hearing back from you to explore other options. Please know that we never intended to impose any solution that didn’t meet your needs. We kindly asked for your opinion at the end of the previous email to work with you on finding a resolution that does if you were not satisfied with the offered one.
That said, we've urgently emailed you our solution for this matter and truly hope you will check it. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to make things right. 🙏🏼
We're looking forward to hearing from you.
app does not work well - customers can use the rewards with out points. Customers dont have to follow your social they click the tab to follow and they get points without actually following you . When customers redeem points the information does not come over to shopify only that the customer created a discount code but NO ACTUAL order .I have reached out to the app but all they want to do is log on to my shopify account .
Dear RokTheBox team,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We really appreciate your feedback. I truly understand the frustration these issues caused you :( Let me give you some brief explanations of the three concerns you shared in the review:
1. Why customers can get points without actually following the merchant's social media?
The logic is that customers will get points when click on the button "Follow", even if they do not actually follow your social media accounts. Big companies like Facebook, Twitter,..etc. do not allow third-party apps, such as BON, to access the database.
As far as we know, all other loyalty apps on Shopify App Store have the same logic and couldn't access to these big companies' data either. We'd recommend using these features to help you advertise your store's social media, so that your customer can easily connect with your store, rather than the main website only.
2. How could a customer "redeem without points"?
After you adjust the point balance, the remaining point amount is still enough for this customer to redeem. We've carefully looked into the problems you highlighted and have reached out privately via the chat window, or a live meeting to try and resolve these concerns.
3. Why did the Dev team need to log in to your Shopify account?
Customer privacy is Shopify's, and BON's first and foremost priority. That is why we'd need your approval so we can help address and solve the problem much faster. I’m sorry if the collaboration invitation sent to your store made you worry. I hope my answer cleared your concern.
My team is looking forward to hearing from you!

POS Users BEWARE!!! I thought this app was great. They even have a feature to connect the Shopify POS to allow customers to earn points and claim rewards at the register. However this feature was released before it actually works. Thankfully we had 1 honest customer let us know that they claimed their rewards but their point balance never reduced. This reward was a $10 off coupon that they could have used several times due to the points not being removed. When speaking with support I was told that "Currently, the issue with Points are not automatically adjusted when customers redeem at your POS is till being worked on as future features." So in other words the feature never worked to begin with yet it was released and promoted and now the only way to know how much revenue we have lost is to go through thousands of transactions to see who used reward points multiple times without ever having their points removed. I had to manually remove the points in the back end for the customer that informed me of the issue. Needless to say we are turning the feature off and going on the hunt for a new rewards program. It is very disappointing to find out that you are losing only God knows how much revenue due to a plug in not being setup properly by the developer.

"BON's fundamental principle has always been to safeguard our users' interests diligently"
This is Cara, I hope to address a recent misunderstanding: rest assured that every action involving point redemptions through our POS system must accurately reflect the buyer's remaining points balance by deducting points from their accounts.
Regrettably, during your recent chat, there was a miscommunication and a support staff accidentally suggested otherwise. We take full responsibility for this oversight, and we really, sincerely, apologize for any confusion or frustration this may have caused.
Yesterday, we have sent you a detailed report on the incident rectification and our reimbursement. We understand that nothing can completely compensate for the feelings you may have experienced (we feel for it), but we really hope to demonstrate our genuine commitment to resolving this matter promptly and to your satisfaction.
Our primary objective is to ensure your comfort and trust in how we handle incidents, resolve issues, and, most importantly, safeguard your rights as a user. Let me hear your comment!

This app is silly - it has no ability to filter sales channels (why accrue points for amazon shoppers when amazon disallows marketing to their customer) and they don't stand behind their promises. Last year they PROMISED me that amazon customers would not affect my account's order limit and that they were working on a filter. Apparently my customers are not accruing points and this company seems not to care. I say look for another app - I am!
Dear William Glen shop,
I sincerely hope we can address any misunderstandings and find a resolution.
At BON, we hold our commitments in high regard; they are the cornerstone of our values. Please be assured that the custom work we've undertaken for you, provided at no cost, has been executed with utmost care and precision. We sincerely regret any inadvertent misunderstanding that may have led to your disappointment. To be more specific: In August 2023, we made the adjustment per your request to exempt orders placed using email domains such as @marketplace, @wanelo, @members.ebay, @walmart, etc., from being counted towards the "order limit." However, as you may be aware, email addresses often change and evolve continuously, with variations like .net, .123, and so forth, emerging. Therefore, it's highly likely that there have been additional orders from these new domains over time.
We processed all the new requests from you and look forward to receiving your feedback soon. 🙏
With all due respect and warmth,
I would give zero stars if I could
I used this app for some time now with no problems, I had completely set it up to only work on points balance and only 3 options for redeeming when I had set it up. At some point between then and now new features became available and were automatically turned on.
I only discovered this a couple days ago when someone used those new features to take $200 worth of product for free using them.
This was massive to me, I'm a small business. I can't afford such a massive loss.
After I contacted support they were no help at all leaving me absolutely distraught
Dear Phoebelunacreative,
Thank you for bringing to our attention the issues you've experienced with the app. We appreciate your feedback, and we acknowledge receiving your report about redeeming options that were automatically enabled without your consent led to the loss of value on your orders.
At BON, we understand that any changes to the app can have an impact on our merchants' businesses, and it's important for us to be transparent and to be proactive in communicating with our merchants. We take your concerns seriously and would like to work directly with you to resolve this incident as soon as possible.
Please keep in touch with our team via email or live chat, and we will update you with more information and solution shortly.
Sincerely,
Sunny

There are so many functions that are completely unusable. Doubt the authenticity of this free app.
It's been installed for a month and the data is not synchronized and is completely unusable. After the customer service enthusiastically helped me to install it successfully and guided me to give five-star praise, the customer service was very perfunctory about our data migration problem, and every time I asked it, it was busy and needed to be processed.
Dear Katebackdrop,
Firstly, I'd like to apologize for your experience with BON. Allow me to answer to your concerns highlighted in your review:
1. I'd like to confirm that even BON is a free app, all of the features are available and ready to use. BON remains a free app to improve basic features and raise brand awareness. Our production team does have pricing plans to launch next month. And customers who install before we launch pricing plans are in the Early Bird plan, in which all the current features are remained free forever.
2. Regarding the matter, We needed a few days, during the peak ticket period, to fulfill the request for you...Our team always strives to meet our merchants' needs and do everything possible to fulfill the request. I really hope for your understanding on this matter.
Customer satisfaction is always our biggest incentive. We all look forward to your response!

I’ve been struggling to get everything integrated. While I was chatting with someone for assistance, they logged off in the middle of our conversation. When they finally returned, they mentioned they were extremely busy. Then logged off again. I’m very disappointed with this experience.
Dear Salute Imports,
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced due to not receiving timely assistance when you were online. Unfortunately, your request came in outside of our working hours, and we deeply regret any frustration this may have caused.
Please be assured that all your messages are automatically saved on our end, and our messages will go directly into your inbox even when you're offline.
We responded on the same day with clarifications regarding the Klaviyo integration. Klaviyo recently upgraded its interface, which may have led to some confusion. Additionally, we sincerely hope to continue supporting you by offering the solutions we sent to your email recently. We hope you'll check our email and consider them.
We truly want to have a second chance to make this right for you. Our team is always here and ready to support you with anything you need.
This app was uninstalled the same day because the app developer wanted to charge me a fee for integrating the floating widget and rewards page into my theme. The floating widget is large and blocks the cart drawer checkout button on mobile. The buttons on the rewards page are not customisable. The extra fee charge is disappointing because I am on the paid version and it took me all day to set up the app, and I found out last minute about the extra charges. All the other apps I use, paid and free apps, offer support for integration for free.
Dear Trail Threads Co. Limited,
This is Maxxie from BON. I hope you're doing well as you go through our email.
After reading your review, I'm truly sorry for any frustration you've experienced and regret that my response felt robotic. Rest assured, all our messages are sincerely drafted by hand. We genuinely value your feedback and want to offer a solution.
I know this has been mentioned before, but I hope to have your kind understanding that we never intended to overcharge our valued clients for any services. Each website is technically unique, requiring careful personalization for effective widget/ loyalty page integration. So our customization work is always carefully calculated and priced to ensure cost-effective solutions for all BON merchants.
However, you mentioned that you spent considerable time setting up BON, and displaying the widget seems to be the final step, we sincerely hope to continue supporting you by offering the solutions we sent to your email recently. We truly hope you'll check our email and consider them.
This offer is our way of saying thank you for your time spent on the app. We look forward to continuing our partnership and supporting you in launching and measuring the effectiveness of your loyalty program.
Thank you again, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
