No service / customer support. I've tried via live chat and email since November at least 5 separate times and each chat / email gets an automated reply that a support ticket's been opened but no replies! I planned ahead for Christmas gift card promotions, have been contacting Govalo since November, and now can't run my promotions. The app itself is great but the lack of support is not just a letdown but also costing me sales.

The worst customer service ever. For some reason the gift card code stopped being sent - I was advised that I needed to update DNS settings but despite multiple emails nobody ever replies.

Govalo is a great provider of Gift Card services with easy to use tools and easy to launch widgets. The team was also able to help us architect a solution to allowing usage of our physical gift cards on our website. This was a HUGE win for us as we do a decent amount of revenue through this channel. Govalo is also our first line of defense when it comes to gift card fraud!

The team is always releasing new features to help us drive gift card conversions and I could not imagine our collective brand portfolio without them.

That being said, we do have a few requests out for some features on importing and exporting data but nothing mission critical.

I have been using the Govalo Gift Card service on my Shopify store for about a year now. The product is very easy to set up and use, and the customer service is great too. Recently, I had an issue with verifying my domain. Their technical team took the matter into their hands and went above and beyond to fix the issue! I highly recommend Govalo to anyone looking for a gift card solution for their store.

Govalo Gift Cards is a new player and has without a doubt the most advanced and up to date solution. Few bugs at the beginning, but they have all been solved after a couple of days. Amazing customer support!

Blown away by how incredibly easy it was to add this app to the PirouetteNYC site. Love how it prompts shoppers to purchase a gift card, especially when a certain item is sold out in the gift recipient’s size. And really appreciate how the instructions walk you through every step of the process, plus provide sample language for the product page, even how to feature the gift card on the nav bar. The Govalo developers truly thought of everything!

This app is filling so many gaps in the gift card space for us – sending to recipient, scheduling the send to recipient (i.e. TRUE gifting), minimizing winback strategy for sold out items with the option to buy a gift card instead. The interface is clean and user-friendly so it's ideal for shops with any level of dev support to implement and use effectively.

Great app, but we needed a little special configuration for it to work with the Rebuy upsell smartcarts on our 4 stores, but Govalo support responded and solved these issues very quickly. Just an FYI that there is no setting in the app to keep it from adding order discounts to gift cards, so customized script has to be added to Shopify to accomplish this.

Govalo is the way to go for managing Gift Cards. Compatible with bunch of applications which makes it a breeze when you have specific strategies in mind. Their support is also A++. I highly recommend it.
