S Loyalty: Rewards & Referrals

Disappointed they have merged the refer a friend feature to Referral Candy, and charge a separate fee for this. Already expensive enough. To be honest, this was the best feature.

WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Costing me $240CAD/mo with minimal ROI.

Disappointing. I have another store and S loyalty comes with a refer a friend program. New installs apparently do not. I will be looking elsewhere for another loyalty program.

Refuses to let me change plans even though current usage dictates it.

A year with this app and now I am saying goodbye. For one customer service has definitely gone down the drain.

At the beginning I would ask for a feature and would be told that it would be forwarded to the development team and see if it could be integrated in the future (Which they never do). Now they don't even try and just tell you whatever workaround they can come up with which is the same since the feature is never implemented.

One of the latest "workarounds" given was when I decided to offer a coupon for 100% discounts for my customers with X amount of points. I noticed during testing, and a few customers also contacted me about it, that once you redeem the reward it just takes you to a screen with the code to enter during checkout. No link to the product so they can add it to cart or anything, just the code. So I suggested adding a link to the product or maybe some explanation one can add so the customer isn't lost after redeeming on what to do. I was just told that they can go back to the reward redemption page where the link is. Great solution... something simple that can help avoid customer service tickets nope tough luck tell your customers to look for it some other way.

The last straw was when I asked if there was a social sharing feature so my customers gain points if they share our page to their followers in their personal social media. A simple sorry we don't have it but may implement in the future would have been good (I have been a year with them so I know no plans to implement it are in the future). . The answer was we don't have it but you can do it manually. Seriously? Do you really think eCommerce entrepreneurs have the time to check their customers shared posts to add manually points? In that case why don't I just run a manual reward program if I have that amount of time in my hands. The whole idea of spending this much money (loyalty programs are NOT cheap) is so I can give an automated reward to my customer while I can keep growing my business.

To sum it up S Loyalty doesn't care about your needs or what you think would improve their app. They rather you just keep paying month after month and if you don't like it well there's the door, literally that's how I felt after telling them I was looking for alternatives because I was tired of stupid workarounds (yes I want to be honest I used the word stupid because a workaround is not a solution). After telling them that they just said "We are sorry to see you go. Kindly uninstall our apps from your Shopify Apps page and your S Loyalty account will be cancelled accordingly."

I guess they have so many customers losing $40-$70 a month is just chump change. Keep it up S Loyalty great future ahead. /sarcasm

The program is good, but the price is to high for lower income businesses. I'm going to try it again, but I feel for my average 10 orders per month it may just not be worth it.

Form to manually add points to a customer's account is broken and does not work. There does not appear to be any way to contact the developers to report this.

Final and Last Update: First off I am leaving SLoyalty for a multitude of reasons. The biggest reason is sloyalty although cheap is NOT an option if you have a POS. People will double dip and SLoyalty instead of fixing it chose to tell me ohwell or goodbye in so many words. I am sorry but this should TELL people online AND point of sale collaboration points. Then they wont disable the instore AND online together, just wont. Here is there final response

"I have discussed your situation with the team. While we are grateful for your support in the past two years, please understand that our app is primarily designed for online store use cases and as much as we would like to make our loyalty program works for your business, we cannot support the requested features in the near future. We are sorry that we haven't been able to do our job good enough to keep you as a happy customer but we will be willing to offer you our free service for the next 60 days so that you will have enough time to look for another loyalty program that would work for your business. We can help to export the point balances of your customers so that you can transfer the loyalty points to the new loyalty program and make the transition as painless for you as possible.

Please let us know once you have decided which loyalty program app you will switch to and we can work on the next steps."

Update: The problem youre going to have is when you have an instore loyalty system and this for online. This system gives them points for in store purchases and then when they shop online they can use those points if they forget their account. There is no fix for this. It needs to be fixed asap as customers are double dipping

Ok so here it is, almost 3 months since my last review. I still have this issue and it appears its not going to be fixed. The issue is people that shop in my store get a "hybrid" account they can use online where they get points in store with our rewards and for some reason SLOYALTY cannot seem to disinguish the rewards from online then in store. People are getting 4% in my store with my loyalty system in store and then go back and shop online and use their points

Update: I had to take one star away because I had asked them if there was anyway to make it so it DIDNT give people points to use online when purchasing in store. Their answer was no we dont have that feature and we arent implementing it. So basically someone can buy something in my store, then go home and use the same email and register or forget password then they have points they can use online. So basically double dipping my points in my store (appcard) then using s loyalty online. Would be nice if s loyalty expanded into the pos but if thats anything like their situation with the misguided points answer its a no.

Ok well I had some issues and some hiccups with this app and company for a little bit. I used them for well over a year and had 0 complaints besides they were a little slow in responding. They fixed me right up after I left them for loyalis (horrible app) thinking it was going to be better over there. It wasnt This is probably the most robust (little more than sweettooth) and easy to use app.

This app is potentially great but unfortunately it doesn't work on mobile devices which is a significant problem in today's ecommerce market.

For example, on a screen under 768px wide, the loyalty widget will not be shown. This is because the Loyalty Overlay is 768px wide. Therefore, people using mobile devices will not be able to use the S Loyalty app at all. This issue is very problematic when you consider that many people will click through using referral links expecting to be given a discount coupon. This does not work.

Support mentioned they are working on this but sadly for now we find the app unusable.

The app forced me to give a review before i had witnessedf its power
