Once you get it set up it's fantastic. If you're setting up your email marketing for the FIRST time, it will be much easier for you. If your technical experience is more limited and/or you're migrating from another ESP (mailchimp, etc.) just be forewarned, that things are NOT as plug-and-play as the Klaviyo sales people would like you to believe. PROS: There is extensive klaviyo documentation on everything (but it's also a bit overwhelming). Once you're on a paid plan you have 24/7 chat support which has mostly been really helpful. There's an app/integration for almost everything - from reviews to rewards, etc. We were able to drop a couple of our paid apps and put those funds towards klaviyo which was great. On the surface, the Email builder looks a lot like Mailchimp's, so I didn't expect to be too impressed. HOWEVER, it actually works SO. MUCH. BETTER. It really shines when it comes to customizing between desktop and mobile emails. (huzzah!) CONS: If you (or your client) hasn't been SUPER organized about their email automations (flows), tags, etc., it can be a lot of work to organize all that in preparation to migrate. Also, I don't think the onboarding instructions are a great as they could be. They try and get you all synced and integrated right away, but that can lead to missteps. There are also quite a few technical steps to go through. While they try and make it as painless as possible, if you're new to this or thinking you're gonna get it all done in a day, you may find yourself a bit overwhelmed. FINAL WORDS / PSA: 1) DO NOT SYNC YOUR CURRENT ESP (mailchimp, etc) with Klaviyo until AFTER you've done your list hygeine!! Lol - 2) Unless you have a simple list and minimal flows, don't expect to get this all done in a day. Give yourself time and grace, especially if this isn't your wheelhouse. I've worked in at least a dozen ESP's over the past decade and I found this to be more of a challenge than I expected. That said, i'm SO GLAD we've made the move!

I love that the app is easy to use for beginners and how it's versatile. However, it took me a long time for me to finally get help from the support for the error that kept happening on my free plan. I couldn't get through the sales (phone and email) and support service because my free 60-day support access had ended. Although I had installed it more than 60 days prior, I only started using the actual app from 2 weeks ago. Ended up speaking with Shopify support to have them contact me.

Update: Klaviyo reached out and resolve the issue; I am giving 4 stars to reflect the resolution. Thanks. -- I subscribed paid plan on last Sunday for $100. I requested for a refund as I realized their UI isn't intuitive and they charge way more than other companies and I have not used for a single day. They just send me an email with their policy saying that they will NOT refund the money even after I explained to their support and the time of contact was within 5 mins of subscription. So tell me anyone who do not agree that this is their tactics that they want to suck all the money they can from new eCommerce store owners like me. Their support is poor and their product isn't as high performing like other people saids, and that's why they have no refund policy. If you are new to eCom business owners, I strongly advise you to stay away from Klaviyo, who does not give a dame about their customers or potential customers. They don't give money back for any reason, even if you have rigimate reason and contact you right away. Please don't get the idea of where people use for half of month and asking for a refund. I requested a refund 5 minutes after I realized their plan wouldn't work for my business. Be aware of this company who will suck your money out of you every chance they get. I would highly recommend Omnisend over Klaviyo and I would stop people from using Klaviyo. Amazed by their lack of professionalism and their policy who doesn't give a damn about people. 0 Star for this institute.

Love the ease and compatibility of Klayvio with my Shopify store. I've been able to run my email marketing as a solopreneur and understand the analytics. If I could change one thing it would be an easier way to sort through uploaded photos, and how do we delete old photos we no longer want in the library? Otherwise, loving what it's doing for my business.

Great tool, excellent customer support. A lot of technical things to learn before you can effectively use it for the best results. But it seems there is a solution to almost every issue that occurs. Email deliverability is especially tricky, but there a many great tools provided by Klaviyo.
Thank you so much for your honest review. If there is anything we can do, don't hesitate to reach out to one of our product experts. Thank you for being such a loyal customer.

I love Klaviyo as a tool. but a few things are a pain in the ass. in Switzerland we do have more than one language. or if you act globally you face the same problem once you add more languages to your shopify account. product feeds from shopify are only possible in one language. and that decreases our productivity greatly. furthermore there could be more explanation with property fields. especially with "Skipped" profiles in flows or campaigns. why are they skipped requires a lot of research to figure out. that could be done better. the new interface since 2024 (text editing): you made it worse. you have to click like a hundred times to change text. that is really anoying. before you had that simple editor box (it was a little small but worked). way better. lastly: I would highly appreciate if sms services would be available globally. I have so many ideas.

Pour l'instant, je n'ai pas encore fait d'email marketing ni de SMS marketing. J'essaie de bien prendre en main l'application avant de me lancer surtout qu'elle est entièrement en anglais.
