Smile: Loyalty & Rewards

Andreandana was great! She sent me the resource I was looking for within minutes of me reaching out.

cant wait to see how this works

Pretty awesome and easy to use

Great program. Cant wait to get it up and running properly.

Looooveee this app! The app is easy to use and it integrated beautifully with my website. They really thought of everything!

we are a small store (10-15000 visits per month, a few thousand customers). The launcher, without an intent page has murdered my conversion rate. The points don't show on my customer account page, so I cannot promote the service to customers, without losing them via the terrible UX and limited positioning of the launcher. My only alternative to provide proper is to pay 600 a month, which I'll get no return on and cannot afford to invest in with a customer list only in the 1000s. It feels like a honey trap / bait and switch tactic. Fundamental user experience requirements should absolutely be a prerequisite for a paid app.

There's a lot of great functionality in there, but not one I'm willing to take a 40% conversion drop on new business, especially with Shopify itself being so limited in its design flexibility out of the box. I'm not willing to plough dev resources into solving problems that ae solvable out of the box. As a consequence, I've decided to accept any reputational damage from halting the programme while I try to find a suitable alternative.

Take a look by contrast at the flexibility of positioning of surveys and polls etc on a solution like Hotjar - it manages to be both visible and unobtrusive. (it's a different type of ap, but the launcher is near perfect and still carries their branding on the lower plans, which is fine)

It's a shame, because otherwise I was 100% bought in to your journey and the functions you offer, but the pricing plan vs feature set doesn't feel like advantages when moving through the plans, it feels like blackmail, leveraged against my own promotion to customers and desire to provide a good service offering to my customers.

I wish I'd read more before I committed - the sales patter doesn't match the experience of using this properly. I'm sure it's fine if you're fishing around with a free plan and not on top of your user stats. I am on top of mine and unfortunately, an otherwise excellent app is destroyed by the simplest oversight in UX - classic case of a developer thinking of themselves without considering an end user.

Seems to be easy to work and clear to use!

Ultimately I received a resolution to my issue, however I was bounced between agents a few times. They all at least seemed looped in, so that was good. One rep disappeared for an hours, and another jumped on only when I sent a new message saying that my agent stopped responding. I’m glad everything was resolved, but it took way too much waiting around. Otherwise liking the app a lot. Thank you.

Super easy to setup and install. We were able to install and setup the program within 20 minutes. (Note: We did download Smile's whitepapers on setting up a referral/rewards program so we knew what we wanted to do ahead of time).

Support is fantastic too! I had an issue logging in the next day which required the developers to code and release a fix - and they did so within minutes (fastest development and release I have ever seen)!

The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is we are on the free plan which limits us from being able to connect with Mailchimp to keep customers updated on their rewards points. We will likely move to a paid plan by mid-year, but it would be really helpful if the free plan allowed us to add our logo and connect with Mailchimp as a base (i.e. allow 2 app connections on the free plan vs 1). Local small businesses need a starting point that works so they can generate enough revenue to grow into your paid plans. Just something to consider

nice, im jus starting not sure if its gonna work
