Gather: Refer a Friend

We’re on the $39 Growing plan with Gather and have been customers since Gather’s launch on Shopify in 2015. We first joined Gather because there was nothing else in the Shopify app store that ticked the boxes for all our feature requirements and was also reasonably priced.

Even though there are many apps with free tiers on the store, given our traffic volume, and in order to get the features we wanted, we had to pay over $100 every month. With Gather, it is $39.

We have generated over $420,000 in orders from customers who signed up through Gather’s opt-in forms.

Gather comes with many features, but these are the ones we found the most beneficial:

- Exit Intent popup

- The Targeting Rules. We only wanted to show one of our popups to customers who were referred from Google Adwords. We couldn’t have done so without targeting rules.

- The option to display an email popup on certain pages only. We were able to create product specific promotions with this feature.

- Refer a friend program that helped us increase our email newsletter subscriptions.

Having the ability to contact subscribers via email marketing has been our single best channel in terms of conversions. With Gather, we have been able to maximise email acquisition. So for that, Gather’s value to our business is worth its weight in Gold!

Yes it has taken us over 2 years to write Gather and its founder Iz a review, but now that we are, it had to be the most comprehensive review we’ve ever written on the app store. Though we hardly write reviews, This one is a review we had to write!

Gather’s customer support has been nothing short of amazing. The number of hours Iz and his team spent with us helping us put together multiple campaigns as well as helping us with strategy, is simply unmatched.

These are some of the many things Iz and his team have helped us with: Behavioural Marketing strategy, the Business Model Canvas for our store and Email Marketing tips. For Iz’s expertise in these areas alone, Gather’s subscription feels like the best value for money ever.

Gather continues to help us grow Beautiful Because, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Gather is one of the best and most useful Shopify apps that I have used. It does exactly what it promises and it does it effectively. Setup is quick and you are gathering leads in no time. The Support for the app is great and the developer is constantly adding new features. If this was a paid app, it would be definitely worth the money!

Very easy to use and set up. I particularly like the ability to use unique discount codes when folks sign up. Support has been fantastic as well. I look forward to learning more about email marketing, growing our list, and using more of the features offered by Gather.

I love Gather!!! Really easy to use and to install plus the customer service is excellent. We increase our revenue by "getting" the people that was about to leave our page with sweet discount!

Best app ever! If you are looking for an app to provide increased conversion along with hands-on, dedicated & tentative support, this is the app for you!

After experimenting with numerous email capture tools (SumoMe, Beeketing, list management software pop-ups, etc) for our store, we decided that offering an immediate on-screen discount in exchange for an email address might have more appeal to customers than other promises/offers.

Boy, were we right.

Within the first few days of using Gather, our daily rate of email capture improved significantly. Almost immediately, we've gone from generating multiple captures per month to multiple captures per day. The immediate discount also helps to convert sales from 1st time visitors at a higher rate.

We like that the app performs a single function very well for us - we ask for an email address, we reward with a one-time-use discount code. Unlike similar apps here in the store, it doesn't require that we offer social sharing as an alternative to email capture...and we much prefer it that way.

It also displays the discount code on the screen for users immediately upon sign-up...no waiting for a special email to arrive or need to switch apps for your users to get their reward (even though sending email to them upon signup is certainly an option).

Also, we've sent some questions about the software and feature requests at various hours throughout the day, and the creator, Iz, has been very responsive and helpful.

Highly recommend if your goal is to gather emails via your store and help your customers feel good about submitting.

This app has literally made my store thousands of pouds. Iz that created the app really looks after us too, don't install it if you perfer losing money.

We are a small group of farmers and were interested in setting up a refer-a-friend program to recruit new customers. We are not programmers in any way. We found the videos and step-by-step instructions extremely helpful. But more helpful than that was the customer service. It felt like an old fashioned moment to have a HUMAN to talk to... A HUMAN who answer our questions...A HUMAN who helped us troubleshoot. I am sure we were a burden to Gather in the end but they were gracious the whole way through.

Great App !
I am using Gather for 3 months and it works perfectly. The team improves popup continuously.
I have a multi-language website for Europe. With the popup, I can know the location of my customers so I can re-target them with the right language using Mailchimp.
Within 3 months, more than 1000 persons signup on the gather popup. And my sales increase in the same time.
Everybody can use this popup, no coding skills required!
I recommend this popup!

Iz is one of the most helpful app developers I've encountered through Shopify. He went above and beyond to fix all the problems I was experiencing with the app. I didn't know that this app will eventually be a paid app, but his customer service was actually so helpful, that I don't even mind paying for the service. I recommend this app 100%
