Smile: Loyalty & Rewards

The support is trully fast and warm, I hadn't even asked my question and Jade was already chatting with me asking for my request.

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.

Best App!! love the fact that I can reward my customers

Great app which simplifies some processes

We have just launched this app in one of our stores and Smile.io have been a great help during the setup.

Great app with an awesome customer service team behind it that will answer any of your questions. Our customers are loving the program so far and we just started 2 days ago! Definitely will help to build a returning customer base and allow loyal customers to gain benefits for being awesome. Check out our website; www.bottleneckgallery.com thanks =)

great for helping my customers get their rewards and making them come back

As a small business, I am excited about offering our loyal customers something that is meaningful to them and low maintenance for us. I struggled with setting the system up but their customer service is as excellent as Shopify's. This is sweet! Lo-Lo by Bar-Maids. www.bar-maids.com
