Klaviyo: Email Marketing & SMS

This app turned all of my shopify customers into subscribers. Illegal. I have no way to un do the damage done to my customer list that took me 6 months to build.

Leider können wir die App absolut nicht empfehlen. Egal für wlechen Shop ich Klaviyo verwenden. Jedes, jedes, jedes, jedes mal suche ich nach dem Link um die Subscription Seite direkt aufzurufen. Unglaub das dieser so schlecht zu erreichen und versteckt ist!!!!!

We've been loyal Klaviyo customers for 5 years, investing $12,000 USD annually in their platform. Recently, due to a system error, the size of one of our segments was miscalculated right before our billing cut-off date, which meant we were unable to fully use the email credits we had purchased, and they expired. I contacted Klaviyo support just 3 minutes after the new billing cycle began, explaining the system error and requesting a one-time credit for the expired emails.

Considering the nature of the issue and our long-standing relationship, I expected this to be a simple, reasonable request. Unfortunately, Klaviyo refused to grant the credit for emails we had already paid for. This has been a disappointing experience and, in my view, a clear example of poor customer service. Based on this experience, I can no longer recommend Klaviyo.

It's expensive and the customer support is terrible.

Has to be THE WORST customer service I have ever encountered. No chat, no phone number, only email, which is promptly ignored. I've been waiting a week for them to respond to an account access issue. Can't do much if I can't access my account. No need to point out the irony of a marketing company that doesn't seem to understand that their customers, the ones that pay for their service, need prompt, helpful support every now and then.

An update: It is now three weeks, and Klaviyo has still not bothered to contact me and assist with my issue. Nice try suggesting it is my mail server, this has been checked, the problem lies with this email marketing company that clearly do not care enough about customer service to provide either a chat or a phone number for help.

Klaviyo is such a buggy horrible integration that I'm going to try and get my client to change. I have a sign up form teaser on my client's shopify store that is not part of any sign up form. I've literally turned off every sign up form, every flow, and even disabled Klaviyo from Shopify, and still this Klaviyo teaser is the site. I've contacted support and got the typical copy and paste, go to sign up forms to delete your teaser but there is no live sign up forms, there is no sign up forms that use this teaser, it doesn't exist. Either it was deleted previously and the code still continues to be on the site without any way of removing it and Klaviyo doesn't want to help to fix their broken buggy product.

No support after starting to use paid version. We had technical problems and could not activate any features. Support was unresponsive, did not help to solve any issues, not even freezed the subscription until WE solve them.

I think it's very shady that Klaviyo instantly charges more for additional email recipients beyond your plan level, but that when you clean your list, the plan cost stays at the higher level - unless you dig into the settings and change it back down.
A message should come up when 'Active' users drops below your biling level to ask if you want to lower your plan level. It's clearly to maximise revenue - but in an underhand way.

4 days of working to set up a simple landing page with an email capture form and an automated redirect after submission. Experience so far:
- form editor is terrible
- forms are not responsive across desktop to mobile (and editing for two platforms in the editor is a not usable)
- limited logic capabilities moving through form submission flow
- forms not saving consistently (it has been random for the past several hours)
- forms not saving to designated lists
- backend and admin is really unsophisticated and illogical
- support (email, free plan) is slow, typically get the ticket closed type of support. In fact, in the past 36 hours, I have twice waited 12+ hours for a response and when the responses finally came I was called Nick and Kate (neither are my name) and the answers were not for me. I had to submit a second ticket to get a response to my first one.

I could go one. There is a reason why over 10% of these ratings are 1 star

So frustrating because I am now looking for a new solution to what should have been an easy requirement to solve

If you ever get hacked, do not expect the customer support to help you. I have been using Klaviyo since 2021. Recently my account was hacked and after numerous emails to customer support, I have not received any help, other than them telling me that my account is not associated with the email I'm trying to use for my login. DUH ! That's the whole problem. It was changed. I will now have to uninstall this app, lose thousands of my customers emails, which I built up for the last eight years, as well as tell my bank to block these people from taking money out of my account. Thanks a lot.
