What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants appreciate this app for its cost-effective pricing model based on usage, not customer count, and the inclusion of up to 10,000 free emails per month. It's favored by small businesses for boosting customer engagement and sales through targeted SMS campaigns. The app is user-friendly, offering powerful customization tools like attaching images and shop links to SMS messages. Merchants also value the easy import of email lists and campaign setup. The support team is highly regarded for their responsiveness and effectiveness, with live chat available for immediate assistance.

We have been wondering what is going on with this app for the last couple of months. We have spent hundreds only to have every single campaign fail. We have a list of a few thousand, 49 emails are delivered yet we are charged for the several thousand. Since Yotpo has taken this over it's not worked at all. Will be asking for a refund from Shopify. Best to not install. It's no longer working as it has for the last several years. Too bad...this WAS an affordable option. It's now just costing us marketing $$ with 0 return.

**UPDATE AFTER 3 years with service**
Decided to switch to a much better platform, Klaviyo. It’s much better and less expensive. SMSBump merged with Yotpo and is trying desperately to integrate email marketing.
It’s not good. Support team is a joke. Never really been useful. Generic responses. Don’t believe the “bonus funds” you get when replenishing your account. When you uninstall you won’t get any of them back. They expect you to completely deplete your account to $0.00 before uninstalling.
Even if you’ve depleted and replenished your account dozens of times, the “bonus funds” stay in your account and never get depleted first. Overall, this app is costly, doesn’t have advanced email features, and comes with a subpar customer support. Clearly signs of a company who has grown to a point where profits matter over customer experience.

I had SMSBump for a while, then when it started sending bogus coupon links to my customers they could not fix the issue. It was jaw dropping. I stopped using them after that.

I had been on the chat for help on another matter for 20 minutes with Don. I had mentioned that they have a popup that promotes a free upgrade with less $/txt if you signup for an appt and go through stuff with them. Back in March, we did this and went to the appointment, only to be stood up. I even provided the screenshots and emails. I mentioned it, and they said they would look into it. Haven't heard back from them and they closed the case. No resolution.

Unprofessional.

Hello there! Stoyan here from the SMSBump team.

This review is a bit confusing to me, as I checked the history and it seems that we've responded in a timely manner to all your questions, the last one being from 3 days ago. Is there something else we can help you with?

Looking forward to your reply. We would like for you to have the best experience possible with our app, so please let us know if there is something that you are missing or not working.

Regards,
Stoyan.

EDIT (17th AUG): We are still waiting for feedback from the merchant.

They claim that their app is working, but their partnered carrier is down so we cant send messages. This has been ongoing for the past 2 weeks and they refuse to reimburse payment for the messages that havent been sent/ the monthly charges for the app no one can use.

Hello,

I can see that my team has tried getting in touch with you regarding your concern.

I believe that there may have been a misunderstanding. We do support A/B testing within our campaign and flows with visibility into your winning group.

I would like to invite you to jump on a call with one of our team members so we can walk you through the steps of how this can be achieved within the app. Please feel free to reach out to our live support or follow up via the direct email we have recently sent so we can help further assist.

Looking forward to hearing back from you

Kind regards,

TL;DR: Their Premium is highly not recommended. Over-promised and under deliver.

This YOTPO is a complete disappointment and not recommended. The admin interface is a nightmare to navigate. Too many confusing reps and a dumpster fire of code in the web reviews widget make matters worse. The promised platform synergies are nonexistent. SMS Bump is a usability disaster, and even meetings with their team are a waste of time. Other platforms have proven to be far more beneficial, while YOTPO has only added frustration, complexity, and countless hours of troubleshooting. Avoid YOTPO at all costs.
