Yotpo: Loyalty & Rewards

The customer support team has been responsible and super helpful with getting us migrated over. Rilu (and others!) were able to get my issues resolved quickly, helped when my brain couldn't handle dealing with behind-the-scenes chaos, and generally made it easy! I appreciate it.

I am telling my fellow sellers a cautionary tale. I have been with Yotpo for 7 years.. a long time in the e-commerce world. I have watched this company transition and what has become apparent is 1- there are major speed issues with all yotpo products on your shopify store 2- you will experience Google Console issues and they will expect you and your dev team to invest time to assist with a fix with no economic benefit to you 3- you will experience cost increases year over year and 4- they will have no loyalty to you if you are an older client or if your business goes through a hard season

Of course, companies need to make money but their business model has slowly pulled in things like SMS. What this means for you, fellow retailer, is that you will lose compatibility with critical channels (like say, Attentive for SMS). Their response? Just move to us... bundle and save- and they treat the precious company you've built like a cable and telephone contract.

This insidious way of doing business is bad for all small businesses. There are plenty of better options that won't weigh down your site, cause SEO issues and throw compatibility roadblocks into the mix (as well as save you a considerable amount of cash).

This is my 15th year running my brand. My reviews are few and far between for stack tech however when I see predatory contract management that hurts business and overall operations I am compelled to share it to prevent the heartache and replatforming we are now going to undertake.

I recently integrated Yotpo into my Shopify store, and I must say it's been a game-changer for my business! This app seamlessly enhances the customer experience, and I am thrilled with the results.

One of the standout features of Yotpo is its user-friendly interface. Setting up the app was a breeze, and the customization options allowed me to align it perfectly with my brand aesthetics. The integration with Shopify was flawless, and I could see the impact on my site almost immediately.

The online part works nicely, but I'll have to share the perspective of a brick and mortar retailer with ShopifyPOS. It stopped working on POS 4-5 months ago and it hasn't been fixed. So, it doesn't seem to be a good fit for those who focus who have stores. We'll probably be looking elsewhere for one that'll work well with POS.

So far, it's been significantly better than the loyalty and referral app we were using prior. While the initial onboarding process was disjointed because our rep was leaving, the Yotpo team quickly found a replacement and helped with every step of the onboarding and making sure our programs (and email flows within Klaviyo) were set up optimally. Special shoutout to Angelo who helped checked every detail of our program and got us optimized!
