Rise Gift Cards & Store Credit
All reviews
Very intuitive to configure and more fully featured than I expected. Better value than other loyalty programs out there.
Sam was incredible helpful in getting us over the finish line to set up the loyalty program. We are very excited to launch a loyalty app to help increase loyalty and customer retention.
Love this app, we use it to issue our customers with store credit and it works amazingly! The team was great help too.
This app seems great and so far I am very happy with it's potential and the quality of the customer support
Great App, it does exactly what we need. It is expensive but I think it will be worth it once the loyalty program builds. and really supportive team at RISE who have helped us migrate from another system and our account manager Dana has been amazing and helped us every step of the way.
Support response times are nearly instantaneous. Set up was extremely easy. The integration with Shopify POS is where it's at.
Here is an honest and clear update of my experience with Rise: Obviously as a business owner myself, I understand how important reviews are and I am honestly not one to leave negative feedback but I do feel that what I have gone through is important to share. A little bit of background: I sell predominantly through Etsy but also have a Shopify storefront. It’s always been a little bit frustrating for me that Shopify does not natively support many (what I would personally deem ‘necessary’) eCommerce features out of the box — store credit/gift cards being one of them. Because this type of thing is not included in a basic Shopify plan, we’re essentially forced to download a plethora of apps to support “additional” features. At its basic level, yes, Rise does what it “should”. I was a regular, $19.99 monthly-subscription paying customer for close to a year, maybe even more — even though every month I would definitely be paying more for the app than I would actually ever be getting out of it. However, I felt like having the gift card/store credit option was a necessity, so what choice did I have? I always have been (and unfortunately, still am) on the hunt to find a way to centrally manage details/status/tracking of both my Shopify and Etsy orders in one place. In an experimental attempt to do so, I imported my Etsy orders in bulk to my Shopify store without thinking twice about it affecting anything else. Shortly there after, I noticed a charge from Shopify for over $600! I was floored! How could I be charged that high of an amount without it being confirmed/authorized?! When I went in to the billing details, I noticed that the charge was from Rise. Immediately I uninstalled the app, contacted their support and Shopify support. Again, we’re not talking a measly $20 here... we’re talking... $600! Shopify support was great! They were very prompt and dedicated to helping me resolve the problem. The first response I got back from a Rise support member, however, was absolutely ridiculous. He claimed that they were doing me a “favor” and I actually should have been charged much more. Copy and pasted from the response: “Our pricing is based on total store orders, hence for each additional order above the plan limit, you'll be charged a fee. You're on the Starter plan which includes up to 100 total store orders per month ($0.2 extra charge per order). The past month you've had a total of 8,274 orders, which results in an overcharge of $1,654.80 So instead of charging you that amount, you were charged for the value of the monthly Premium plan.” Confused, I tried to explain that these were IMPORTED orders and there is absolutely no clear verbiage about this in their terms/plan details/etc. I exchanged a few more emails back and forth trying to defend my position while being bounced back and forth by at least 5-7 different support team members. Almost every response I got was from someone different. Finally, they concluded that I, in fact, WAS mis-charged and would be refunded. The literal next day (and obviously before I had gotten my money refunded back), I had another email from a different support member requesting that I remove my initial review — which really didn’t sit well with me. Mind you, my first contact with them was on April 8th. It is now May 19th and I had to send them ANOTHER email yesterday because they still have NOT refunded me. I will leave the other names unmentioned but Dana was the only support member that I feel was truly trying to provide me with any real “support”. So thank you, Dana. I do appreciate that you tried to help.
Hi Allie, We're sorry that you didn't have the best possible customer experience and for the stress the additional charge caused. However, we're glad that this was resolved (back in May) and that the full refund was processed. Customer satisfaction is our number one priority, and for this reason we work with our merchants with imported orders to ensure they are charged correctly. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to distinguish orders processed on Shopify versus those that are imported. As a workaround, our merchants let us know when orders are imported so we can ask Shopify to adjust the fee. Apologies again for your experience, and we wish you the best of luck with your store! If any further assistance is needed, please email us at [email protected] All the best, Rise.ai team
Pauline offered great customer service and answered all of my questions! We used Rise to transfer old gift cards to our new Shopify POS. Thank you!
Great app and equally great support which is just as important. Easy to set up and very smart in how it works
Rise support has been very helpful with all of our questions. Hila, Pauline, Itay, and John have been excellent! The user interface is intuitive and straightforward. Setting up our store credit and gift card product has been a breeze. Thanks, rise.ai!
Easy to set up and helpful team! Works great. To use all features it gets a bit expensive for a small company like mine.
Keren was extremely helpful and resolved an issue I had promptly. Also gave me some additional insights into uploading CSV files and the contents of them.
We had a long list of very specific requirements for finance, reporting and legal to make sure our loyalty (store credit) program launches flawlessly, and Rise.ai met our unique needs beautifully. Being able to use their credits as discount codes, rather than gift card codes is the flexibility we needed. Along the way as we ran into questions or issues their support team has been very helpful and responsive—thanks Pauline and John!
Amazing app and just as amazing and very efficient customer service from Sam. Thank you!! We are looking forward to working a lot more with rise.ai in the future.
We used Rise to migrate our old gift cards to our Shopify. Couldn’t be happier! They were very helpful and made the process super easy
It's very robust, but very complicated to get set up at first. Definitely push to get an account manager up front in order to get quicker response times. Their live chat is helpful and has fairly short response times, but an account manager was a game changer for us. They are still working on adding features and I think our use cases have added significantly to that feature request list. However, they have made exceptions to have their dev team do work arounds to satisfy our needs for things that aren't even available on the app yet. That is very much appreciated and in that way I feel we've received a personalized experience. All in all, I'm glad we made the switch. The user experience is much better than our previous app and a positive and simple user experience is worth any potential growing pains.
Great solution for refunding with gift cards/store credit and bulk importing (!) gift cards which is not possible natively or any other app I could find.
This app's support team is quick and helpful! Thanks Keren :) The interface is clean and user-friendly. Great design!
We used this app for more than 3 months, started with the Starter plan, actually it works properly and functionality, but the big problem is not worth the money to invest. 1) The app name "Gift Card & Loyalty program", We suggest it should be changed to "Gift Card & Store Credit", their loyalty program is to overcharge, they charged $16 monthly for ONLY one workflow, compare to other developers, they will give us 10 FREE workflow loyalty program. 2) We are paid users but it took more than 24 hours to get approval for the workflow we created, we waited for your approval but you still charge our credit card on time, it's fair enough, isn't it? 3) If you are Shopify Owners, and you are looking at the Loyalty Program or Reward Program please go far away from Rise.ai, they are not a great choice, they are only good developers in selling Digital Gift Card and issued Store Credit.
We started with Rise when they only offered the Gift Card functionality. Over time this app has evolved into an even more powerful tool for loyalty, store-credit, and even automated promos using gift cards for future purchase. An important part of our marketing and retention mix.
