Smile: Loyalty & Rewards

I've loved using Smile so far. It's easy to install and use. I love the amazing support they offer like tips on their blog. I've also received speedy help from the Team since I installed. Maggie was a gem to work with.

The app is definitely working and taking off, it does take marketing on your end and an accumulation of time to pay off - for reference we have a very steady sales rate and a great return customer rate. I still think $59 a month is expensive even though yes, this does result in sales and people being able to earn and collect points is awesome.

Love the app and what it stands for. We want to reward our customers and this is a great way to do it. Using the free version, there are two things that are keeping this from being a 5 star app in our use with it.

We would love to reward our customers for leaving a review and that is unavailable to us at the moment. Second, during testing of the "Follow on [enter social media site here]", even if the user does not follow the page, the points are still awarded upon clicking on the button. Is there a way to audit and check against this? We want to make sure that we are rewarding for the outcomes we want to see for growth.

Otherwise, great work! Look forward to hearing back soon.

Great app! Easy to use and setup is fast. Highly recommend!!

*Update on previous 4 star review

So it seems Smile has decided to pull back what they offer on the free plan and has pushed some of the basic features things to $199USD (not even the $49USD plan) which is dissapointing. I think pulling features back on a "sticky" product is a bit of a sneaky trick because business owners are unwilling to change an app that has lots of their customer data integrated into it. Adding new features to entice people to upgrade or pay is a much nicer way of doing things. My initial annoyance with the app still hasn't been fixed 6 months later and I still have customers wanting to include freebies on the order they just placed, which causes us issues and upsets customers, they need to fix it so that rewards get emailed to the customer after the order has been fulfilled. I'm going to start looking at a new rewards program, this one just isn't working well for us and causes me annoyance on a weekly basis.

Great app. would give 5 stars however, please please please can you reinstate reward customers when the financial status is shipped for shopify customers, instead of paid. It is causing lots of admin headaches in our company and upsetting customers. The issue is a customer makes a purchase then gets a reward email immediately then wants to bundle / redeem the reward with the order they just placed, we use a 3PL and don't get always get a chance to change the order and really its not generating return business, instead just costing us money and upsetting customers when we cant combine the order.

The process to instal and start running couldn't have been easier! I love it

Seems to be a lot of bugs. Coupon not working after points activate coupon.

Amazing app!! Must have for online stores!!

The ability to easily change the look of your program is an asset. I love how easy the entire program is to setup and manage. They also have a ton of free ebooks and blog posts to help educate you on loyalty strategy!

Had an issue with the way my employee set up our points system. Fiona was able to help me out through a quick and convenient online chat to get our points system set up correctly! Also, our customers have loved the chance to earn rewards points, it's not a thing you typically get in our industry.
