For the past four days, gift card emails have simply not been delivered. Customers purchased gift cards and never received their codes. At first, we were manually forwarding codes to our own email to resend them ourselves. Now even that doesn’t work. Support kept asking about domain configuration — which has been set up and working for 3 years. Their own dashboard shows the domain as configured and enabled. Still, test emails return errors. The most frustrating part? Delays. Multiple follow-ups with “Hi, any update?” while customers are waiting for gift codes they paid for. As a store owner, this puts us in a very embarrassing and stressful position. Email delivery randomly stops and there’s no solution or fallback system. If your store depends on reliable gift card delivery, be very careful. When it works, it’s fine. When it breaks, you’re on your own.

Updating my review from 1 to 5 stars. We were initially caught off guard when Govalo suddenly stopped working for us and support seemed to disappear. Since then, the app has been taken over by a new team who are doing a great job. Govalo is once again easy to set up and use, and our customers love having the option to purchase gift cards. When we ran into an issue with the gift card product showing multiple checkout buttons, their team quickly jumped into our store and fixed it so everything looked and functioned correctly. I would definitely recommend this app again.

Left three messages to get support over a week. None of the messages were responded to. If you're having any trouble onboarding or expect to need any level of service, avoid downloading or just uninstall. I should have expected this. Many other 1 star reviews with the same issue.
