Yotpo: Loyalty Rewards Program

I have been using this app for 8 years along with their other apps, Yotpo Reviews and Yotpo SMSbump. I waited way too long to delete their clunky apps. And because I was a long time member, they thought the need to disconnect my Klaviyo integration because I was grandfathered into their old plan and wasn't paying their "Premium Price". That's not MY FAULT! When I had an issue, they would try to get me to upgrade. Why would I want to upgrade and pay more money for less when I have been using your app since August 2017? Yotpo has left me with a very bad taste in my mouth.

many features, such as tiers, are not even in the pro plan, there is no support, and the sales representative gave us a free trial, which we were charged for, and the money was never returned in full, more than two weeks

The app was working for us in the beginning, and for some reason it's not anymore. We are trying to figure it out with the support, but they are useless. For the amount we pay, there should be better support!

App store: $199 – 800 orders, app already installed – 500 orders, and when you increase it to 800, it now costs $259. To me, this seems very suspicious and like a scam right from the start, and that's only half the features. If you want all the features, it costs $699 for 1000 orders.

2023 - It has been pretty easy to add this new reward program to our website - once it is set up it doesn't require much work from us. We like it ! :-)

7/16/25 UPDATE - The app has gone from amazingly simple to everything wrong with it! Nothing works at all!

The back end says "$25 free when you redeem 500 points"
The front end says "$100 free when you redeem 500 points" AND "$10 free when you spend 100 points"

This doesn't exist at all in the back end!

When you try to contact support they say that they want you to spend $1,000s, yes you read that right - THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS to have the app work?? Like what??? The app should work no matter what! I do not believe that even if you paid the app would work as there is a MAJOR disconnect between the back end and the front end. The code just doesn't sync with the system. I believe they are experiencing a major tech issue and don't have the support to fix the bug. Customers are constantly emailing me saying the loyalty program does not work and things are grayed out when they have the points to redeem them! It's a nightmare! I regret setting it up with them. I will be switching providers as this app not only does not work but there is 0 effort to fix the problems and I have been emailing them for months begging for a fix. I would upload screen shots of the issues and communication if I could.

Negative stars in my book. Total waste of time!

Yotpo, as a company, overall has been a disaster for us. It has been the worst business decision I have made in 40 years. After churning over a million dollars in subscriptions and 3,000+ customers, earning money from all those while it was happening, only to discontinue the service themselves, I am not sure why I thought Loyalty and Rewards would be better. Support is not good and takes weeks for an answer. The Direct Rewards feature is not functioning correctly and requires internal assistance to complete, which can take weeks. No one can give you a straight answer. Do yourself a favor and RUN! Yotpo has killed our momentum and business, and I would not recommend ANY of their services. We tried them all and paid dearly, figuratively and literally.

Definitely the issues have not been resolved.
After nearly 1 year using the app...
Update on the review - it will definitely make you loose money.
The interface is so confusing, nothing works properly when you set up a system.
I would say the main issue is the difficult to set up/use interface, and customer service that is below standard and very unhelpful.
Overall, I would not advise to install this, even if you have a developer.

Disappointed with Yotpo Loyalty and Reviews. Basic features like percentage-based discounts — which are essential for how we run our business — are locked behind their most expensive plan. It feels like they charge premium prices for bare minimum functionality. Definitely not worth the cost for what you get.

Absolutely the worst customer service. You cannot get passed the AI chat. Paid for a pro plan. A hiccup happened which reverted my plan to “free”. Tried to contact customer service to get them to dix it, but AI won’t let me talk to a live person cause my plan is “free”…

My app quit working, i can't get in and neither can my customers. This has been going on for days. I got one response from support and then haven't heard anything. Please let me know why this isn't working!!!!! love swell rewards, it's easy to use and my customers are loving it.
