Smile: Loyaliteit & Beloningen

While we like the app, it's the support that we care about most. Every app has its quirks and none is perfect, but it's the people that are the difference between winning and losing. Quite specifically, Lisa was that difference and the reason Smile became the perfect solution for our business need.

The app works well and the support is good. I get frustrated that maintenance happens during South African business hours. We lost a big sale because a customer in store could not use her points while maintenance was being done for 6 hours.

So far the app is working well for us. There were a few questions regarding how the app worked on Shopify POS, but Shelby was quick to answer our questions.

customer service was fast and quick to reply to my enquiries!

The app is very helpful in creating a sense of reward and motivation to clients. It is highly encouraging to have this app in place, especially with such a supportive and responsive team behind it. Shoutout to Joana, Erin, and Ezra for their dynamic, efficient, and consistently helpful assistance whenever needed.

We use Shopify (Symmetry)for our women's fashion store and the Smile app works well for us.

We recently requested help with accessing loyalty points more quickly at the till point and the Smile team provided swift and clear instructions.

Thank you.

It’s been helpful to a point, but once you go over your only allowance you can’t access any admin. If it doesn’t ever go back under the limit I was told I still can’t access it unless I go up to the next level which as a small business is out of my league.

Fortunately Andrea came and answered my call and helped me out. So I can access the admin section and amend it and answer customer questions.

This was a wonderful app until they switched it from free to paid. After it was switched over I could still edit customer profiles for awhile but not anymore - super frustrating. They created a forcing function to make you upgrade even if you don't want to. Really dissapointed and customer service was no help either. WARNING: DONT USE THIS APP there are much better apps for free out there.

UPDATED 5/9/24: Smile.io reached out to resolve the issue to our satisfaction, thank you!

UPDATED 2/5/25: Once again, Smile.io finds a way to lock you out in an attempt to get you to upgrade, yet again. BEYOND FRUSTRATING. Will update this if CS reached out with a resolution.

UPDATED 2/12/25: Smile.io customer service was nice enough to work with me to find a resolution. Minus one start because their CS kept pestering us to update the review from 1-star.

We've been happy with Smile as our main rewards platform for several years and have consistently received great support from Lisa and the rest of the team. We'd like to see some additional features such as full integration without a pop-up (harder now with new customer accounts), more granular reporting for ootb emails, and a more robust segmenting engine, the cost and stability has made up for any lack of features. Great app.

The customer service and chat response is great. Lynn did a great job solving my problem. When the data that I needed wasn't present on the dashboard, she sent me everything I needed in a raw data file - great for analysis! Dashboard could be a bit more descriptive of the data presented.
