Rivo: Loyalty Program, Rewards

We spent seven weeks trying to set up Rivo and were never able to launch because of a technical issue on their side with the advocate reward not auto-applying. We went through every troubleshooting step they asked, recreated API keys and ran multiple test purchases, but the issue was never resolved.

What made the situation worse was the lack of communication. Despite the problem completely blocking our launch, we received no meaningful updates and it was unclear whether the issue was being prioritised at all. This gave us very little confidence in Rivo’s reliability or how quickly future issues would be handled.

We’ve now had to move to another provider after investing a significant amount of time trying to get this working. Not a good experience and wouldn’t recommend.

It’s very expensive and has no effect. I want to request a refund, but it’s not loading.

So far the experience is not awesome. The app itself seems great, BUT, we migrated all of our data (including customers and old orders) over to the app and it’s included those in our usage. Note: none of the features on our app are yet enabled and I have zero usage on it for the last 90 days.

I received a bill for nearly $500 over a week ago and still no refund. I received another bill today for $187 and zero response from support. I am not thrilled about this. Their response is sluggish, sometimes taking a couple of days to respond.

I actually really want to use this app because it looks like it will do everything I want (and the reviews on it are excellent), however this first experience with it has left me with little trust that I will get the support I need.

EDIT July 31: I received a response immediately and a refund. HOWEVER I have received two more bills from Rivo for "usage fees" and my Rivo app is not even active. There are now nearly $400 more in charges on my account and I'm not using this app. I have emailed twice again with no response. Sadly as much as I want to use this app, I feel like something really hinky is going on and I do not trust Rivo. Once I am refunded I will be uninstalling and searching elsewhere. Super bummed because there are so many awesome reviews here.

i need a customer support, it always notice me "Waiting for a teammate"!!

We installed Rivo for a couple of months to test it in the background. After testing, and leaving a good review, we carefully allocated historical loyalty point to our 23,000 customers and then launched our loyalty scheme. On the same day Rivo's connection to Klaviyo failed to send updated points balances and that evening without warning Rivo set the points balance of every single one of our customers, including those who had purchase on that day, to zero. The help desk promises a reply counted in hours but we are now on day 3 after reporting these issues and every day we get thanked for our patience and told to wait for an update from the development team. If we had not invested so much time configuring this app I would de-install it immediately.

*Edited*
Whatever updates have been made and messed up everything and been a MAJOR source of frustration. I have been on chat with support countless times, they gain collaborator access to "fix" the issue, it doesn't get fixed. My clients are still bombarding me with messages asking why they can't redeem their points and I'm seriously fed up. Do not recommend at all. It WAS working fine... It's awful now.

Our clients have really enjoyed earning rewards when shopping with us. Arianne was very helpful when I reached out to inquire about why some accounts were not earning their points and it was very quickly fixed! I was very impressed with their quick response and helping me change my settings. Highly Recommend

Originally gave a 5 star review because it was easy to set up only to find out that it really does not work. My customers cannot redeem their points and I am told "Redeeming points at checkout is only available in Shopify Plus plan merch which is $2300 a month. Plus if you modify the benefits of a VIP tier, the modifications do not update for existing members but only for new members. I was told to delete the benefit and add a new one but that still did not work. Such a waste of time. What is the purpose of a loyalty program if the customers cannot get any benefits. Now I want to download my customers with points so that I can add their points to a different program but there does not appear to be any download capabilities or print reports. Stay away. Over an hour on a chat with Jel and the results are that I am completely screwed.

it’s not logical for your app to get paid for orders that I have generated myself.
I run ads > get customer orders > in this case, what benefit does your app provide to justify being paid?

Makes it impossible to cancel once you subscribe. I've asked them to cancel this subscription for the past month now and I'm still getting charged. Ridiculous business practice. Better options out there.

Update: Update: It's really no good app. The support is terrible and during the last year the support has not solved one single issue. They are anwering but not fixing. The tool has good thoughts but almost everything is not working proberly so we have lots of complaints. Our most loyal customers are leaving one by another because they will not use our homepage because of Rivo anymore. It's a shame. I am describing the problems to Rivo all the time, but they don't care. E.g. currently, the Free-Product-Voucher is not working fine. I described it, I attached screenshots. But no solution. We will find another way to make our customers happy. Very disappointing.
