Yotpo Product Reviews & UGC

Do not use Yotpo as they have shady business practices and poor customer support. We made a big mistake signing a yearly contract for Yotpo SMS, Reviews, UGC, and Rewards.

1. Yotpo offered four free months of services by signing a yearly contract with them but still charged us $5,245.80 USD for the most recent quarter when the free months were supposed to begin (at the end of the contract). This is explicitly stated in our contract with them. When I brought this to their attention, they said they'd look into it, and it has already been weeks without an update.

2. If you use Yotpo SMS there is a "reloadable" balance to fund your messages. However, it turns out according to their terms of service this reloadable is nonrefundable, even if you stop using Yotpo for SMS. We currently have $5,681.42 USD in that account which is now just "Yotpo Bucks". I understand this is in their terms of service, but it is simply an unethical business practice.

3. If they try to sell you on the benefit of having an account manager with them just ignore it. Their account managers have a high turnover rate and hardly get back to you.

Don't make the same mistake as us as it might cost you $11,000 as it did for us unless we enter litigation. I wish Shopify had higher standards and considered "terms of service" and customer support before approving an app into their Certified App Program.

Horrible company! For the past 2 months they have overcharged us. We have the $15 plan. They have billed us $119 for the past two months.

We contacted them last month and they stated they would escalate it through their billing department. They refunded $49.80. If they billed $119 and our plan is $15, they should have refunded $104. They claim the remaining funds went to "some app credits."

This month, they billed us $119 again!! We are now talking to their support again and getting the same "We will escalate this through our billing department" again.

I see others who say this is an excellent app and that was one of the reasons we opted to use this one over others. The app works fine; however, their billing system absolutely ruins the value the app provides.

We will be filing a complaint with our bank against this company. I encourage everyone thinking about using this app to BEWARE!

Worst app on the market. The support is terrible, they promise to solve the problem, but weeks pass and the problems are not resolved, there is a lot of bureaucracy, they transfer the ticket from one department to another, in other words, they simply shift papers and do nothing to solve the client’s problem. And this for a few hundred dollars a month. I use another application in my other stores and support from a competitor solves my problem in 24 hours!!!
despite the fact that a subscription costs a few dollars, not several hundred!

DOnt use this app if you have ever used reviews on any other platform. you will not be able to import them and their customer support will lie to you.

was not able to fix the errors after following instructions. contacted them twice to resolve the issue. automated response said they would reply within 24 hours. Never did! Uninstalling the app right now. This is my 1st negative review for an app.

Very poor

Without any customer support

And you will be very frustrate to use it, never recomend it!!!

I reached out to Yopto on exactly April 16th for help with transferring my fera reviews to yopto. We are relaunching our company and have undergone a rebrand (product name changes), the only thing that has changed is the name of the products otherwise the product is the same. These are genuine reviews and when we reached out they responded with an excel file we have to use to format the review. We GAVE them the excel file they requested and responded promptly to all their questions. But instead of responding they have delayed our RELAUNCH. Instead of asking the right questions and genuinely helping they been assumptive and dismissive. I would not recommend this app or integration at all.

Everything would have been fine if I hadn't noticed the problems that managers have been unable to solve for a long time. In fact, the support work is at zero level: one says one thing, the other says another, and as a result, something completely different happens. Support may claim something is impossible without providing evidence, and then apologize when evidence to the contrary is presented. Technical support here isn't much help either; they can't even implement simple things. After contacting support, you receive a survey form to expedite problem resolution—essentially, it doesn't help at all; nobody responds. Essentially, what I have here are global issues affecting the revenue and reputation of my store; support doesn't solve anything on its own, they send an email and disappear for a week... Perhaps this review will expedite the resolution of my issues? For now, I'll leave it here.

EXPENSIVE AND HORRIBLE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and GO WITH ANOTHER APP

The support provided by this app has been disappointing. Numerous issues occurred after installing Yotpo, and the support team was unresponsive, taking more than a week to reply. When they did reply they were extremely unhelpful and bounced me from one support staff to another without fixing any of the issues. Even after the app installation, the plugins persisted, leading me to hire coders to rectify the website and completely remove Yotpo. I do not suggest this app, especially for smaller businesses in need of reliable support.
