Omnisend Email Marketing & SMS

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the frustration this situation has caused. We fully understand how important it is to be able to send campaigns without disruption, and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience and for any misunderstandings that may have occurred during the troubleshooting process.

We never intend to place blame, and we genuinely appreciate the time you spent testing across different devices and browsers. Based on our investigation, we were not able to reproduce the issue on our side, nor did we receive similar reports from other customers, which leads us to believe this may have been an isolated case. That said, we recognize how disruptive this was for you, and we’re sorry it impacted your experience.

Regarding the concerns you raised about billing, our senior support specialist has reached out to you directly to continue the conversation and make sure everything is reviewed thoroughly. While we cannot discuss account-specific outcomes publicly, please rest assured that every case is evaluated carefully and in accordance with our policies.

If you would still like us to continue investigating the root cause of the issue or provide further clarity on what may have happened, our team remains fully available and ready to assist.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for being open about how frustrating this felt. We’re sorry to hear that the onboarding process didn’t meet your expectations, especially after being referred to us.

We want to clarify what happened with the SMS setup. Promotional SMS messages to UAE numbers require a registered Sender ID, which is a government requirement. This registration process is handled by the local SMS provider and requires very specific documentation. In your case, the initial submission was missing required details, which led to follow-up requests and unavoidable back and forth before the provider could proceed with verification.

We understand how this can feel like unnecessary delays, particularly when timing and revenue are critical. While we guided the process and kept you informed, the approval timeline and requirements are ultimately controlled by the SMS provider and local regulations, not by our platform.

That said, your feedback about the onboarding and support experience is important to us, and we’ll be using it to improve how we set expectations and guide customers through regulated SMS setups like this. If you’re open to continuing the onboarding, our team is here to help and happy to support you further.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear how frustrating the setup process felt and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the points you raised.

Regarding domain validation, we can see that your domain was successfully validated. When multiple tools attempt to use the same DNS records, conflicts can occur, but once the records are aligned, validation completes as expected.

Regarding pricing, Omnisend plans are based on the total number of contacts in the account, not just the number of emails sent. This is outlined on our pricing page and helps support deliverability, automation features, and overall platform usage, though we understand it may feel different compared to other tools.

About the delivery rate, our logs show that the majority of failed deliveries were hard bounces caused by recipient mailboxes that were unavailable, non existing, or full. This points to list quality rather than a sending issue on our side. Omnisend attempts delivery to the addresses provided, and we surface bounce data transparently so customers can address underlying list problems. In automated workflows, this is often linked to invalid signups or bot activity, which is why our team recommended adding additional protections like CAPTCHA or more advanced bot prevention.

Our team provided concrete steps designed to improve deliverability, and the recommendation to review Shopify was simply part of eliminating any external factors that may affect data being sent to email tools. While this process can be frustrating, it’s intended to quickly narrow down the true source of the issue.

We’re always happy to continue the investigation or review your setup again, and our support team remains available to support your business and help you achieve better results.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that your initial setup felt frustrating and that the experience did not meet your expectations.

We understand how discouraging it can be when testing does not behave as expected, especially during early setup. In some cases, issues can arise from how certain Shopify features or third party apps interact with automations, which can make things feel buggy even though the core platform is working as intended. Our team aims to identify these edge cases and guide customers toward a stable setup.

We appreciate you raising concerns about the support experience as well. Providing clear and knowledgeable guidance is important to us, and your feedback helps us improve how we support customers during more complex setups.

While this setup may not have been the right fit for your specific use case, we’re grateful that you gave Omnisend a try and shared your perspective. If you ever revisit us in the future or need clarification on anything discussed, we’re one message away.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that the SMS estimate shown during signup felt misleading — we understand how disappointing that must have been.

When you upgrade to the Pro plan, you receive monthly SMS credits equal to the price of your plan. The number of SMS messages shown during signup is always an estimate because actual SMS costs vary by country and by message length. This means the system can’t display a guaranteed fixed number, only an approximate value.

In your case, you did receive your full monthly SMS allowance. The credits were used more quickly because SMS messages sent to the UK are more expensive compared to the U.S. rate used for estimation, which reduces the total number of messages that can be sent with the same credit amount.

To help clarify this during signup, the plan page includes an information (“i”) icon next to the estimate, noting that the actual number of SMS may differ based on recipient country pricing. Still, we understand how this could have been confusing, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

We will be using your feedback to improve the clarity of our signup process — especially around how SMS estimates are communicated — to ensure this information is even clearer for future users.

Obrigada por compartilhar o seu feedback e a sua experiência conosco.

We’re very sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced with your SMS campaign and understand how frustrating this must have been, especially when working with a time-sensitive promotion.

After investigating the issue, our Deliverability team found that the affected messages included a bit.ly link shortener. Unfortunately, messages containing public link shorteners are often rejected by mailbox providers or mobile carriers for security and deliverability reasons. To clarify, two of your campaigns triggered this issue by including a bit.ly URL. While one of them appeared to send successfully, it still activated SMS spam filters, which then affected later campaign deliveries.

To resolve this, we kindly advised resending your message without using public link shorteners. You can use Omnisend’s built-in link shortener or set up a branded custom shortener connected to your own domain for improved deliverability.

Our senior support specialist remains in contact with you, and we’re here to fully assist until everything is resolved. We truly appreciate your patience and hope to have the opportunity to turn your experience into a positive one.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the situation you described and understand how concerning it must have felt.

Please note that we identified suspicious activity on your account in a timely manner and took the necessary steps to prevent further issues while also sharing the mitigation measures with you. We found that 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) was not enabled on the account during the incident, which unfortunately made it easier for the suspicious activity to occur. To help strengthen security, we make 2FA available and always recommend that account owners enable it for an added layer of protection.

We strongly recommend enabling 2FA on any digital platform, including Omnisend, to add an essential layer of protection. The security of our customers remains a top priority, and we will continue enhancing safeguards to help protect accounts.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that our pricing information felt unclear — we understand how frustrating that can be when comparing plans and getting started.

On our Shopify listing, we indicate that the Standard plan starts at $16 and the Pro plan starts at $59, which is also reflected in the screenshots you shared with our support team. These starting prices apply to stores with smaller contact lists — up to 500 contacts on Standard and 2,500 contacts on Pro.

During the signup process, the pricing adjusts based on the size of your audience. Since your contact list is significantly larger, the system automatically displays the plan tier that matches your sending needs. As your audience grows, the cost of email marketing increases accordingly — which is a positive sign of business growth, but we know it can also be unexpected if you’re seeing the adjusted price for the first time.

If you noticed any inconsistency or something that doesn’t match what’s shown on Shopify, we’d be grateful if you could share the link or screenshots with us so we can review it right away. Transparency in pricing is very important to us, and we want to ensure everything is clear and accurate.

Our support team has also followed up with you directly to further clarify how our pricing scales and to answer any additional questions you may have.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and first and foremost—we’re truly sorry to hear about the personal challenges you’ve been facing. We completely understand how important your email list and campaigns were to your business, and we regret that the loss of this data added stress during an already difficult time.

Omnisend automatically deletes accounts that remain inactive for over 6 months, in line with our data retention policy. We do send multiple reminder emails during this period to help avoid unintended deletions, but we fully recognize that important messages can be missed—especially when life gets overwhelming.

We genuinely value the trust you placed in us over the years, and while we unfortunately cannot recover deleted data, your feedback is being shared internally as we continue to evaluate how we support long-time users during periods of inactivity.

If you ever decide to return, we’d be more than happy to assist with rebuilding your account and support you every step of the way.

Wishing you and your business all the best.
