Klaviyo: Email Marketing & SMS

Thought it was good until the experience was bad.

I began using this app a while back, everything was going smooth, for the most part. I was able to make Sign-up Forms and create Email Flows.

The Worst Part. I went on to make a new Shopify store, integrate Klaviyo, created a new account, and made a couple of emails using their templates. All of a sudden, I get logged out, tried logging in, "Your account is inactive". Now, when this happens there is nothing you can do other than create a new account.

To contact support. In order to remotely talk to anyone on there, you need to buy their subscription ($20 minimum) before you can even bother to ask for help. Their "Live Support" isn't even real people, it's just some virtual robot that can't even help you other than recommend useless articles that are a complete waste of time. And then in addition, they take forever to email you back so God forbid you had something immediate you needed help with.

Overall, this company is a 0/10. If I could go below a 1 star, I definitely would, that's how terrible they are, honestly. It's already enough of a headache running a business and the last thing you want to have is a company that isn't willing to help unless you're a paying customer, nor take constructive criticism/ feedback on how they can improve. Look for a better company that is willing to help you when you need it, not leave you in the shadow.

Whoever's reading this, have a wonderful day, stay safe, and keep growing as a person!

VERY VERY VERY hard to make a custom email template and not enough information to find on website...

I've tried several platforms and this one offered to do so much more with regard to segmentation that I decided to switch and try it- what a mistake that was. Super expensive and what you get in exchange is a complex system and ZERO onboarding or other customer support. I'm not a newbie- I know my stuff (16 years!) - and I found it challenging - stalled at every turn. Contact support and you get referral to their online learning guides or community support - well this isn't free software (far from it- super expensive versus competitors) and if the online materials were helpful, I wouldn't have to contact tech support so much. It takes 48 hours to hear a reply to a support email - which only really kicks off the convo- it will be a week at minimum before you can resolve anything with all the back and forth (and the first line is always -"read this support article" - I did, it didn't help, that's why I'm contacting you!). Chat is not available until you sign up for the expensive plans, only to find out they still try to answer via ai (have you read this article?) then are only available with a human 9am to 5pm and IF you can get past the AI monster, there are (not exaggerating) - 76 people ahead of you in line! That will take you till 5pm when oops - you're back at AI for answers. I can't wait for the reply, by the way- they'll refer me to an article or community support.

Incredibly over complicated. The sales guy makes it seem super great, but only if you have someone on staff to take all the tutorials and figure out how it all works together.

I have been using this app to capture my email contacts gathered by my spin wheel app. Klaviyo was recommended by top online marketers as the best option in email management. I was blown away by the ease and depth of the software. Don't be scared of the increasing cost as your list grows, because this software will pay for itself with just the abandoned cart flows turned on. Keep up the great work!!

PS. The training videos and webinars are amazing and FREE!!

You won't regret it. Klaviyo has really helped our business. I am so pleased with this product. You won't regret it.

I used this app because it is free for me as a brand new newbie, it takes off a lot of stress. It will control my emails that I would receive the new ones that make a huge difference on growing my business. I am very grateful for the help of this app designer, it will be a great help to me.

Have a bit of a history with Klaviyo. It's a feature rich, communication platform that has a lot of intuitive emailing options. Originally we used them for our mailing campaigns. In the end we switched to Mailchimp because of cost. Klaviyo is expensive. Now we are back to Klaviyo and they are even better. The cost is high, but the tools are there to utilize your mailing lists to the max. It's somehow much easier to use than Mailchimp & more comprehensive. Happy to be back to Klaviyo!

I used this app for the first time today and so far I´ve had a great experience. I highly recommend it

BE CAREFUL! These guys are THIEVES! We installed Klaviyo and never used it but they charges us for the monthly subscription. When we reached out to ask for a refund, they simply said that due to their "policy" that they don't allow refunds on un-used subscritpions. Never heard of this one before. You deservbe to be shut down for scamming people like this.
