Rise.ai: Gift Cards & Loyalty

Disappointed with the Rise.ai App for Shopify

I recently tried using the Rise.ai app for Shopify to set up a loyalty program for my store. Unfortunately, my experience with this app left me feeling frustrated and disappointed.

One of the most significant issues I encountered was the sudden disappearance of the loyalty program flow I had painstakingly defined. It took a considerable amount of time and effort to create this flow, and losing it without any explanation or way to recover it was incredibly frustrating.

What made matters worse was the lack of any logs or recovery options within the app. When something goes wrong or data is lost, it's essential to have mechanisms in place to help users retrieve their work or at least understand what happened. Rise.ai fell short in this regard, leaving me feeling stranded and unsupported.

At this point, I'm seriously considering exploring alternative loyalty apps for Shopify. As a business owner, I need reliable tools that can seamlessly integrate with my e-commerce platform and offer a consistent user experience. Unfortunately, Rise.ai did not meet these expectations.

I urge the developers of Rise.ai to address these issues promptly. If they can provide solutions to improve the app's reliability and user-friendliness, it would benefit both current and potential users. However, if these issues persist, I may have no choice but to switch to a different loyalty app for Shopify.

In conclusion, my experience with the Rise.ai app for Shopify has been less than satisfactory. I hope that my feedback will help the developers understand the areas that need improvement and work towards delivering a more reliable and user-friendly app in the future.

Eddie's customer service was excellent and was able to navigate me through my issue seamlessly

Great support!

Excellent app with amazing, fast and helpful customer service - they have replied to our queries promptly and found solutions for our demands. Really happy with this app and would highly recommend it - it's a very easy way to sell and redeem gift cards. The service team are magnificent - gold stars all round!

Augst 2023 Update: This app is great when you're able to fully take advantage of it. I'm uninstalling it because our team is going in a different direction but I highly recommend this app because of the support team. It's amazing. Eddie and Itay have been amazing. Highly recommend it!

I was looking for a bulk gift card app that allows us to use gift cards as marketing. I've tried many different apps and actually downloaded this app twice. The UI is clean and smooth. I like the potential this App has, but unable to explore it during the trial. Most of the options are disabled until the trial period is over -which is fine -but it's misleading. It's not a trial if I can't use the features -and this is extremely frustrating because I am looking for a particular feature and do not want to purchase a $199+/mo subscription without being fully able to use the software. Like I said, I liked the UI, and actually was interested in the loyalty aspect of this program.

The app is not secure. Fraud was committed for more than a year using rise gift cards in our online store before we caught it. We found dozens of orders that used various names and shipping addresses that were paid solely with rise gift cards that were fraudulently created. Example: one "customer" had generated hundreds of $5 gift cards and put them toward 12 different orders over the course of a year. All gift cards were issued under different names and e-mail addresses, but all gift cards were put toward a single order. This happened over and over with other "customers." There seems to be a system since goods all shipped to different addresses. This has resulted in thousands of dollars in shipping and inventory lost. We contacted Rise, requested a refund for all 2022 and 2023, but we also feel this should be noted that this is even possible. Our team is floored. We had no issues to our knowledge 2019, 2020, or 2021. The problems we have found so far all started 2022.

Not only is the functionality that Rise.ai provides going to dramatically improve our ability to build our customer community and revenue, the customer service at Rise.ai is outstanding. It's so nice to have an actual person on the other end rather than fumbling around with an auto response bot. We will be customers for life and we are very excited to see what advances Rise.ai has coming down the pipeline.
