Terrible service. Trying to tie you into an ambiguous 12 month term at a time, unlike other providers who clearly offer rolling terms. No form of customer service after that. Lots of apps that can offer the same service for a fraction of the price. Why try and force customers to continue to use your platform when they don't want to

Not a good review from me. Their prices for paid version was ridiculous to me but I thought I’d try the free version. I work a full time job Monday thru Friday and usually don’t start working on my website until 6 pm and they are already closed. Not good business for me if I have technical issues during the later times. They should have after hours technical support. I followed all the instructions but the loyalty program would never display on my Shopify store. After an hr of trying anything to correct it, I switched over to another loyalty program. It has less orders per month but at least I can get ahold of someone after hours through a messenger and not have to email someone and wait 6 or more hours to hear from someone. I thought the woman I emailed was a little on the rude side. I’ve been working on computers since I was 5. I’m not a dummy when it comes to following online instruction and for her to tell me they don’t have a glitch on their end kinda swerved me in a direction that I don’t want to use them now or in the future. Maybe other people can use this service but definitely wasn’t a pleasant adventure for me.

The customer service once you have the app installed and are paying them the monthly fee is non existent. I joined in October 2023 - they pulled a price of $583 per month out of the air, after having asked me what my monthly turnover and AOV was. Now that they have joined the App Store I see that I am being over charged. Not only that but during the on boarding call I took the advice of their staff member - he forgot some crucial details and I cannot get anyone to fix it. So basically I have sent 10 emails with no response whatsoever and I have to now disable the Loyalty on my business. If they do not respond in the next few hours I am deleting it - even though from previous reviews I have read they make this next to impossible also. So my advice is stick to Smile.io. I wish I had.
Thanks for taking the time to review our product and service. Firstly, I would like to apologise if our service hasn’t met your expectations. I’m aware that our Customer Success Director has reached out regarding your pricing concerns via email.

Very expensive app which does not do justice to the spend. It shows you how much the member spend, but it does not say anything about the costs you are putting in, so you really do not know if it paying off unless you do the detailed calculation yourself. AND; worse of all -it is impossible to cancel! I try to cancel, get a error message on the page in the app several times, contact the support, they say somebody will help you and then you hear nothing more. And the next payment is due. Very little trustworthy, I would even call it a scam. Stay away!
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I understand one of our Account Managers is working with your team directly to resolve the issues and support you moving forward. Please let us know if we can support in any other way.

En suosittele. Ohjelman päivityksen jälkeen mikään ei toimi. Käyttöliittymä asiakkaalle surkea ja vaikeakäyttöinen.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Our support team has been in touch regarding the issues you’re facing and we are waiting to hear back from you. We remain on hand to helping you solve any issues you are experiencing.

We were using LoyaltyLion for 2 years. One day out of nowhere they decided to 2x our price. No communication, just updating our billing price to twice what it was. After using them 2 years, they have had zero improvements besides finally updating their UI. No new integrations. The only new tool they added was "Flows" and its behind a paywall. I would recommend you look into other companies who dont have shady practices like raising your price out of nowhere. I highly recommend Toki (buildwithtoki.com) as an alternative.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. We never want to feel like you’re not receiving a good level of service. Our VP has been in touch with you to share our terms and conditions and links to relevant information - we are waiting to hear back from you on this and are keen to resolve your concerns so please do get back in touch with us directly.

I recently installed the application for a new site. The application has many useful things. But I am hugely disappointed by the fact that if my store does not use a significant circulation language (English, French, Spanish) the program does not offer the possibility to do the translation yourself except for the amount of $10 per month, attention! every month not a single fee! (which would still be easier to accept) but why wouldn't it be free since I still make it and not the support team. You disappointed me badly with this fee! It seems to me that you promote discrimination!
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Our Onboarding lead is keen to connect with you regarding your experience so far and has been emailing you to help, but is yet to receive a response. We do use a third party for managing translations within the app, which is why it is a separate fee. If we could do this for free, we absolutely would. We are still keen to help turn your experience around and have a number of options available to you so please do get in touch either in response to our previous emails or at [email protected]

Have been trying to remove app from my store for days now and cancel my subscription. There’s no way to remove the app yourself with out the developer contacting you first . I’ve left several message with the app that I want to cancel my subscription and remove the app from my store but I’m being ignored . This app is very expensive over $400 a month and impossible to remove once installed . Shopify support is no help on this issue either . Please cancel my subscription and remove the app from my store .
Thank you for your review! one of our Key Account Managers will be in touch to assist you with this shortly! As per previous communication - as you are billed via Shopify, this will need to be cancelled with them. Our team will assist you in resolving this! We apologise for any inconvenience experienced.

Scam! not recommended at all, I requested to cancel the subscription, and they charged me $499 after that. I will send a complaint to Shopify about that
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I believe the $499 payment deducted was due as part of a contractual payment balance, although you have requested to cancel, the previous payment was outstanding and due. I can see that you are working directly with one of our senior leaders to resolve any outstanding issues and assist in your cancellation from our service.

During the sales process we were contacted on an almost weekly basis to get us to sign up. Since signing up, we've received pretty limited levels of support since the onboarding process was complete. When trying to schedule time for a quick call to walk through things, we get avoided and passed on to other people. Be prepared to figure this all out on your own if you do go ahead with it. We're left pretty disappointed, especially given the cost and will look for alternatives before investing too much more in this.
Sorry to hear your have received a poor experience, I understand our Head Of Onboarding is working with your team directly to resolve the issues and support you moving forward. Please let us know if we can support in any other way!

Lack of customer support. Super slow response time on live chat. Tried to get a hold of someone to help us get set up for a few weeks now. Few calls of mine scheduled on their calendars were cancelled on their end. We just want to cancel and still haven't gotten a hold of anyone. Horrible, just horrible. Yotpo has the same features at half the price. Can't wait to be done with loyaltylion app. Hopefully this negative review gets them to get in contact with me to help with cancellation.
Dear WAMA Underwear, Sorry to hear you have had a bad experience. Our Account Management department have sent a number of calendar invite links to your team to book in some time to discuss the initial upgrade you enquired about and then to discuss the cancelation request logged. I believe someone on your team had originally booked a call in with the outbound sales team (responsible for new customers) but as you are an existing customer - this call needed to happen with the account management team (responsible for existing customers). This is why the scheduled call was cancelled, As highlighted we have sent a number of requests for a call since then. Please respond to our latest email so we can help rectify the issue.

Not a great start. We have installed the app and we are stuck on the onboarding screen which we cannot switch off. There is no "x" or "close" button. Chat support exists but they are replying very slowly and unwilling to help. It has been the second day of "using" or even not using the app and we cannot do anything.
Hi TruClothing! Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear you are having a negative experience with LoyaltyLion. The reason for seeing the onboarding screen which is stopping you from moving forward is due to exceeding the allotted order volume limit for the free plan (800 orders). We are actively trying to engage with you on the situation and hope we hear back from your team soon so that we will be able to support/assist further

Terrible. My account did not work for 6 months. They never helped and no refund for it. They still have not responded to me.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I’m sorry to hear that your experience hasn’t met your expectations on this occasion. We are always there to help our customers. I’ve shared this with the team and we will be reaching out to you shortly. Please do reach out [email protected] as well if you need anything further.

Installed the program about 4 months ago, but the feedback from clients is very poor. Contacted the sales rep who sold it to me and asked 2 questions: 1. If we can analyse the bad performance together, but very disappointing I was being told LoyaltyLion doesn't do "performance" calls. This was the same person I spoke to about 40 times before signing up for one year. 2. Asked him how can I cancel my subscription (don't want any unexpected auto-renewals) and again very disappointing I was told I need to contact support. Contacted support few days ago but until now no answer. Find it kind of strange all this companies where you can not actually cancel what you signed for with a click of a button. 3. The widget button covers the call to action on my cart drawer, asked them how can I move the widget up and I was told at the moemnt this is not possible. To sumarize: cancelation policy not very clear, program doesn't perform well and the widget button covers the Checkout button ! Very, very disapointed ! Don't recommend this app !
Thank you for sharing this honest feedback. We apologize as this is not the experience we'd like anyone to have.. Please know that our team is working to better this. Please be on the lookout for an email from our team so we can work to find the best resolution for you!

Do NOT waste your time or money. OR just stick to the FREE version and fully test it for 6 months before upgrading. This company has overcharged me $187 since April, a total of $1683. A refund was finally provided in December, months later. Customers are confused on how to use loyalty points, and the entire program has been a much bigger headache than ever anticipated. They make it seem extremely simple to customize and set up during the sales process, but once you sign the contract, you quickly realize that you will need to hire a web developer to make such customized changes. They will not assist you with the customized changes. After the initial onboarding, you will never hear from support again, regardless what plan you are on. Our plan was $720 a month, complete waste of money. You are only attracting people who want things for FREE. Our loyal customers will be loyal regardless whether they earn points/rewards.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. I’m so sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience. We apologize that our service did not meet your expectations. Your comments allow us the opportunity to do better. We have looked into the issue and believe we have a resolve for this isolated incident. We hope that this incident doesn't stop you from giving us another chance. We've located your details and we're getting in touch now to solve any issues you may have.

I have only given 1 star because I can't give zero. I wish my team had done their homework. LL onboarding is absolutely atrocious. I have received better customer service from apps I pay 1/5th of the price for. The features are not flash at all - go to Stamped. We did. I am much happier
I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. I’m sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with our service and would like to further follow up with you to support your concerns. Thank you for also pointing out the different ways to improve our service in the future. I want to assure you that your constructive feedback does not go unnoticed. It is valuable information for our whole team, so please do not hesitate to reach out with any further comments or questions.

Cannot recommend, just pick another one. To my knowledge there is nothing other loyalty programs cannot do, that LL can. No leeway for negotiating a yearly contract at all. Very painful process. Onboarding support is not ideal. During the sales process you are being told things are easily implemented, that basically everything is possible, you just need to customize it. Very low developer support needed for that. Turns out that's not true and it's much harder than you were being made believe. When you want to get out of your contract Account Manager starts playing dumb (even though they are not), not letting you out of your contract even though you are fully eligible. First had to cc the CEO.
Thank you for sharing your insights with us. It’s hard for us to hear that you had a negative experience, as we always do our best to provide our customers with the best support possible. Unfortunately, there was some miscommunication on our part. We are working to fix it so that an incident like this never happens again. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you and sincerely appreciate you taking the time to offer helpful suggestions. We've located your details and we're getting in touch now to solve any issues you may have.

I used this app for about 9 months but the results were not what I expected. In fact I just added two extra costs, one was the cost of the discounts I offered to my customers constantly and the other was the cost of the app. I think that you can offer much more to your customers without the second additional cost, investing in the improvement of the whole customer's experience. In fact, by using an app like Loyalty Lion you don' t increase the loyalty of your customers, but you only attract customers who are only interested in getting rewards. And that is not the definition of loyalty. Finally, while I had already uninstalled the application from my Shopify account, I saw a €10 charge because I had to go to the app page and uncheck the language customisation option which were located in the seventh tab (FOR AN APP I DO NOT USE ANYMORE).
We're very sorry to hear that you didn't get what you expected from the program, we wish you the best with your customer retention strategy going forwards. Regarding your subscription charges, our team did investigate these internally but was unable to find any attributed to your account. If you would like to discuss this further (and any refund), please feel free to reply to our outreach email and we can resolve this shortly.

Irresponsible support. Signed up for an onboarding support meeting, woke up early because of the differences in time zones and guess what? nobody came. I wanted to pay more for the better service. but looks like you pay extra here for nothing
Hi 99Jersey team, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We sincerely apologize for missing the meeting you booked with us. We have investigated this and it looks like there was a mix-up with calendars. A member of our team has reached out over email to rebook the call with you so please check your inbox. We hope to speak to you soon.

I couldnt switch off their widget from my website so i contacted the chat support. No one was in the chat. After ONE HOUR of waiting support contacted me back. They say "free plan" but if you want to switch on/off their widget you have to join advanced plan (699$/month) or plus plan (1500$/month). AMAZING!
Hi Eroke team, thanks for taking the time to leave us your review! Whilst we can always support in un-launching the program for you, we don't suggest toggling this on and off once you're launched as this can impact your customers' ability to earn points and interact with the program on the whole. Your feedback is really valuable to us and so we've taken this back to our Product team to consider how we could support this in the future ✨ LoyaltyLion team
