Shopify Email

Dreadful bounce rate and hopeless support. I have been using Mailchimp, integrated with Shopify for many years. Being fully integrated, our mailing list is automatically synced between the two. As Mailchimp has become so expensive for small businesses, I decided to try sending campaign emails from Shopify - campaigns very similar in content and length as previously sent from Mailchimp. My Mailchimp bounce rate on the last email sent on 1 Nov was 0.15% which I'm sure you will agree proves the list is pretty good. The very first campaign I sent from Shopify led to 5.7% bounces! I explain this to Shopify support and they just send AI generated suggestions that make no sense to my problem, passing me from support person to person in the hope I will go away. One phone call would sort this out but that's not possible nowadays.

They leave me no choice but to stick with Mailchimp - and if this is an example of what to expect from today's support after 9 years of being with Shopify then I must consider moving my store to a better competitor.

Oh and disregard Shopify's assertion here that I have been using the App for a year - they may have auto-installed it a year ago, but I only started using it in Nov 2024.

Templates are HORRIBLE! Come on Shopify! You can do better than this.

Very difficult to use and VERY limited in what you can customize. I'm very disappointed in this application and the limits it's placing on our store.

In the last two months the performance of the editor has absolutely tanked. It makes it impossible to type your emails out in the editor anymore. I'm talking 5-10 seconds of delay for typing and what appears on the screen. Typing everything out in a separate program like google docs is also super annoying since shopify email doesn't support paste without formatting and trying to format text in shopify email is a joke. You can just enter a font size, your forced to use a slider and hope you can get the exact value you want. Absolutely sucked all the joy out of making emails. Also give me back the ability to format text (bold, italics, etc on buttons). The section limit is awfully low too.

The application is free it’s true, but it’s been 3 months since my emails are sent without my profile image and with an email address different from mine. I had to find myself why there was this, I was not contacted or warned. It’s free it’s true but pay attention the quality is not always present

seems like a good app but it does not send your first 1,000 emails for free, you still have to pay a base price. I find this description very misleading and disappointing.

Cant send email to my clients which i migrated from opencart, abandoned cart emails are never sent, most of campaigns are failed.

bof, beaucoup trop de mail arrive dans les spam

Only negative I have to say, but it's a biggie for me, is they require too many hoops to using one's own domain for email. Instead of just allowing one to add spf, dkim, _dmark into your DNS, Shopify Email sends you to another site where you have to sign up with them, then use the spf, dkim, _dmark info they provide, which is based on their understanding about how your domain host is configured, even though the info provided is not accurate for use with my host. Too many hoops for me!

I have been using this application but it seems that there is always a bill to be paid even though there are not any bills. please fix that
