Smile: Loyalty & Rewards

Easy and user-friendly with a bunch of great options available on the free plan. The support team is super helpful and responds very quickly (thanks Jade!)

Update: I gave it one star because I left a 5 star review for another app that costs 10x less a month and has far more functionality than smile.io does. I wish they made a loyalty app. There really is no excuse to charge companies predatory pricing for basic functions.

We had previously given it two stars as it does collect points and integrates with the apps we require.

We needed the API, so to get that functionality it is EXTREMELY expensive.
We are paying $600 USD a month (I understand to get the API now it's worse - starting at $1000 USD a month).

We'd switch to another tool in a heartbeat if it could sync with the apps we require. In this day and age, to 'firewall' integrations & API's is just not playing nice.

I hate that it has a pop-up portal for the points. We already have a customer support one, so it is confusing for customers.

The customer interface is also not nearly as customizable as you'd expect for the price. We should have full branding control at the price we pay. We should be able to control the portal & make it page, or embed it in the customer account page.

I also wish the points were fully integrated into the checkout for single & recurring orders, with prompts and customization. For the ridiculous amount we are paying, you'd think it would. But no. We are paying for what should be a $59/month app.

Customer support is ok. But again, for the price we are paying, I really expect to have live chat customer support available - not an email back in a day or two.

Positive: It integrates nicely with reviews, our crm, subscriptions, VIP, etc. and it is very stable.

All in all, it does work. If you have simple needs, it's probably a great tool. For us, we just feel stuck with it, it's far too much money, and we wouldn't recommend it.

Great system for us on https://www.breezemobility.com.au/
Give it a try.

I believe this is the first negative review I have ever left on a Shopify app, but I would like to hope that this review will help other merchants from wasting so much time and money as we have on this program.

The sales team will promise the world before signing up, then once you're signed up, you get nothing.
We started on the enterprise plan for a number of months before realising we should have been put on the 'professional plan' from the beginning and saving $400 USD a month in wasted costs.
The sales team gave us the impression we would need to be on the enterprise plan in order to get the full features, which was not true.
We have not been impressed by the level of support at all.
There is literally no support with anything.

The sales team will bend over backwards to call and promise what you will receive after signing up. Yet once you're onboard and have any issues, either in regards to the software itself or billing related, you'll only receive canned responses with no accountability for problems on their end.

The software is ridiculously overpriced for what it is and the price does not justify the resulting revenue from the program.
You'll be better off setting up a number of customer win-back/loyalty campaigns using marketing automation software which is the direction we'll be heading.

The software has a good looking UI, but the support is non-existent, there is zero accountability for problems and the price is not justified.
I would give zero stars if possible.

I was easily able to update my imported customer list from a previous loyalty program and I can reward my customers for in store and online purchases.

First i wanna say smile is awesome its really creating magic for me, but let me tell you about my super star agent MARIA!!!!!, 5 stars ain't enough to describe your warm welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly and bubbly personality but if i was ever to get tired of Smile and I remember Maria's customer service ability I would have a SMILE on my face so How can I not wanna use SMILE? I truly appreciate you Maria from smiles.

We've just added this app to our new Shopify store and absolutely love it! Our customers do too!!

Great app and great concept! Can't wait for my customers to earn points. :)

Still figuring it out. Was easy to setup and seams streamlined with multiple reward functionalities within one app. Sweet that it is currently free!

excellent program, and we've already started to see some results rom our customers signing up, liking and following us.

Great way to reward customers and keep them coming back.
