MailerLite Email Automation

Trust the poor reviews! I decided to go ahead and give them a try, and when I decided to pay for my 10k+ subscriber list they had a 30% off for 3 months. I clicked the link to apply this discount and it didn't work. So I reached out to customer service. The first rep (Andrew) refused to honor it as it doesn't work with Shopify billing them. After about 10 emails back and forth I left a poor review in their system for his customer service and a manager got back to me.

The manager (Daniel) offered me about 40% of one month as a credit and I mentioned how I don't understand the math. He then said you are correct! And lowered his offer to 30% of a month. And will not offer the 30% of 3 months.

I will be taking my business elsewhere as I recommend you do as well.

We've paid over $200 to MailerLite for our subscription, and we migrated our subscribers from Mailchimp.

We've completed the configuration, compliance, domain authentication, etc., yet after sending out our first campaign today, our account has been blocked and "Placed under review".

We've only used 10,000 of our UNLIMITED monthly emails and 10,000 of our 15,000 allowed subscribers.

They've blocked me from contacting customer support, as it requires us to submit it from our logged-in account page.

I also can't delete my account or manage it in any way. So what now?

I read the horrible reviews before I installed the app. I was hoping I would have a better experience. Nope, not at all. Customer service is bad. I've been trying to get this app to work for 2 weeks. When someone from support would reply, they would keep repeating the same sh*t to me over and over as if it was my first time emailing them about the issues. In my last attempt to get help, they never replied at all. I gave up and uninstalled the app. I'm shocked Shopify hasn't removed this app from its platform. JESUS CHRIST ON A MOTORBIKE

Se demoraron como 5 mails en entender el problema que tenía (parecía broma). Me repetían y repetían recomendaciones absurdas. Bloque de carrito abandonado no funciona y llevo días esperando a que alguien solucione el problema. Mientras pierdo ventas y más ventas, yo sigo pagando 30 usd al mes... Pésimo servicio al cliente

Poor support, app is complicated not merchant friendly.

While the contact list is synchronized with the Shopify customer list, the only information that is passed through is the email address and the date the contact subscribed. That limits what you can do within MailerLite.

The worse thing about this app is the dishonesty from Mailerlite. So many things don't work as communicated - blatent lies. This app should be completely removed for false claims.

From a technical perspective, In my case, the most important feature was commerce automation. If that's something you're looking for, don't even bother. Also, the blog CSS feature doesn't work.

But again, the problem is no one at this company is honest about about it. The customer service team is so "friendly" that it feels heartless. They waste your time having you do a bunch of stuff that doesn't work when they know that their system is trash. I highly recommend not using Mailerlite!

App does not sync with orders or customers at all, shows $0 despite that not being accurate so it erroneously segments users i.e sending discount to people who have already purchased and abandoned carts to users who have already completed them. Support requested full admin instead of the usual contributor account to diagnose the issue. HUGE game breaking issues with the Shopify integration despite it being a GREAT email builder with a fantastic iOS app. UPDATE: Support has reached out. Currently working with mailerlite support. Will update with details.

If zero stars were possible !!!! Stopped my website working. Stopped hyperlinks working. After trial period finished ecommerce connection to my shop disappeared and no product sync. Not only is there no support on the free plan there is absolutely no way to contact anyone at all!!! Totally unexceptable.. You get referred to their 'Knowledge Base' but no one responds their either. Spent ages setting up templates etc but now none work. Total waste of 6 weeks trying to get it to work.

Update to the below review 12/9/22. I heard literally nothing back from mailerlite from the support request I started in this app. So I started a ticket through their website and after two back and forths where I submitted a PDF of step by step what wasn't working, I got total radio silence. I submitted another ticket, but at this point I'll be looking for another e-mail provider after years of using them. Just don't bother. There are better services.

I've been a mailerlite customer for years, but the app absolutely refuses to sync with shopify. I can log in fine to MailerLite on their website, but when I try to log in to connect the app to my store it tells me that there is no user with my e-mail address (which I did type in correctly). I'll gladly update my review if it starts working properly before I get a new e-mail provider that does integrate properly.
