I understand that Jel, one of the customer service agents, may have been having a bad day, but that day turned into a significant issue for me. This all started when I accidentally deleted Rivo's landing page while cleaning out my Pages, which broke the connection between the Rivo platform and my shop. I reached out to customer service for documentation on how to fix it and included two screenshots to illustrate the issue. I also mentioned in passing that I wanted to remove a broken footer on the landing page I had left.

Unfortunately, Jel misunderstood or overlooked the 404 error screenshots and instead focused solely on the footer. She asked for access to my store and "fixed" the footer the way she thought it should be. The problem? In doing so, she unintentionally broke all the footers across my entire site. I revoked her access and followed up to inform her of the issue—not looking for a resolution, as I could fix it myself, but simply to let her know about the mistake. I also mentioned that her access had been revoked.

She quickly responded, claiming the problem had been fixed and asking me to check. This response was frustrating because it was both inaccurate and misleading. The issue was still unresolved, and even if she had attempted a fix within seconds, it couldn’t have saved without access to my store.

I clarified multiple times that I had already revoked access and was not comfortable granting it again due to the risk of further mistakes. As someone only a few hours into using Rivo, I really hope things improve from here. However, this combination of platform issues and a frustrating customer service experience has raised some red flags.

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?

We just tried to trial this product for our new website however we experienced some very deceptive and conduct through the sales funnel. It did not give us the option to select the free plan or trial at all (only a discount of the available paid offers), and tried to gain access to our website before even selecting what plan we would like. Funnily enough the free plan or free trial was not even an option. This is disgusting and misleading behaviour, and needless to say we will not be considering Rivo products again in future. Do better Rivo.

I am probably to stupid to start this app, but I was totally annoyed by the ongoing efforts of the company to upsell me to one of their pay programs. Too many pop-ups for my liking. Too many interruptions while trying to setting it up for a first trial.
Again, likely I am partly to be blamed, but I consider myself somewhat experienced with such apps.

Rivo leaves a bunch of installed items and applications on the site once uninstalled. This is unacceptable !

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.

We understand that this falls short of the excellent experience we strive to provide, and we are committed to resolving this issue promptly. We aim to provide the best experience for all our customers.

We want to make things right for you. I've sent you an email to offer additional assistance. You can reach me at lea@rivo.io anytime.

Listed under the available rewards you can offer was "Commission"; that reward was not available (at least in the free version).

Hi Brian,

I'm sorry for your experience so far using the app. We store credit as a referral reward – which essentially acts as a commission for referring friends, as you can earn credit for every friend you refer. I'm more than happy to set up a referral campaign and the app to function this way for you. I updated our app listing to reflect a more accurate representation of that.

I reached out over email there to help make things right.

Cheers,
James

Hey Karen M Designs team!

Thank you so much for your feedback. We have a free plan that's available for smaller shops that do 200 orders a month or less. Otherwise we have affordable plans that start at $24 a month (most features). Happy to offer a longer trial to make it work for you, or work out a longer term price. Let me know your thoughts and feel free to email me directly at james@rivo.io.

Cheers,

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.
