Omnisend Email Marketing & SMS

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry this situation has been so frustrating, especially after moving a large subscriber base to Omnisend and expecting to continue sending at your previous volume. We’d like to clarify that your Unlimited plan does allow you to send emails to your full contact list. After investigating your campaigns, our Deliverability team found that your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records were configured correctly. The issue was that Gmail temporarily rate-limited your domain after detecting a sudden increase in sending volume. This is an inbox-provider restriction related to sender reputation, rather than Omnisend blocking your emails or preventing you from using the sending capacity included in your plan. It's not something we can override, but it is something we can help you navigate. When moving to a new email marketing platform, mailbox providers can treat the new sending activity differently, even when the same contact list and domain were used previously. For this reason, our team recommended temporarily reducing volume and gradually warming up the domain before returning to full-list sends. Regarding your billing concerns and refund request, these are being handled directly by our team. For privacy, we can’t discuss account-specific billing matters publicly. We do, however, want to be clear that we take accusations such as “scam” or “theft” seriously. The delivery issue experienced here was related to Gmail’s deliverability controls and not Omnisend restricting access to the service you purchased. Most importantly, we want to help you move forward successfully. Our Deliverability team, Onboarding Manager, and your dedicated Account Expert are all ready to work with you on warming up your domain, rebuilding its sending reputation, and safely scaling back toward your full audience. We’re committed to supporting you through that process and helping set your account up for long-term success with Omnisend.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry for the frustration this situation has caused, especially after being with Omnisend for several years. To clarify, the account was suspended after our systems detected recent campaign activity that appeared unusual compared with its previous sending history. Our team identified messages containing suspicious content related to an alleged account or payment issue, with links directing recipients to an unrelated external domain. Out of caution, and to protect both your contacts and your sender reputation, the account was suspended while we investigated. We've reached out to you directly on multiple occasions to clarify whether you recognized and authorized these campaigns. We're still waiting to hear back, and we genuinely want to help get this resolved as quickly as possible. If you did not send these campaigns, there's a real possibility your account was compromised. Please reply to our team's messages so we can walk you through the next steps together. We're ready to act as soon as we hear from you.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry this situation has been so frustrating, particularly with the volume of messages reaching your inbox and the disruption to your automations. We also regret that your initial support experience didn’t make an already difficult situation easier to navigate. Given the seriousness of your concerns, our Deliverability team reviewed the case in detail. The messages reviewed were bounce notifications resulting from your email address being spoofed as the sender of messages sent elsewhere. In this type of spoofing, someone external can forge a domain in the “From” field without needing access to the mailbox, website, or Omnisend account. When those messages cannot be delivered, failure notices can be returned to the address they falsely claimed to originate from. An SPF record does not generate spam, provide access to a mailbox, or enable someone to send through an Omnisend account. It tells receiving mail servers which services are authorized to send email on behalf of a domain. We do understand why the timing made the issue appear directly connected to the SPF change. With the previous, stricter configuration, unauthorized messages could be rejected earlier in the delivery process, before a bounce notice was generated. Changing the configuration affected how some receiving servers handled those messages, which could make the existing spoofing activity visible through bounce notifications. To help address the underlying issue, our team has recommended strengthening DMARC enforcement, which is designed to help receiving servers handle messages that falsely claim to come from your domain. We’ve also requested the original email files with their full routing information so our Deliverability team can investigate the source further and provide the most appropriate guidance. We also recognize your concerns about your automations stopping after Omnisend was no longer included in your domain authentication, as well as the communication, billing, and support experience surrounding that period. These account-specific concerns are being reviewed directly with you to ensure they receive the proper attention. We appreciate the time you’ve spent raising these concerns, and we want you to know that your experience matters to us. While our investigation indicates that Omnisend did not cause the underlying spoofing activity, we understand why the timing and volume of these notifications led you to connect the two. We remain committed to supporting you, addressing the concerns you’ve raised, and ensuring you receive the level of attention and assistance you expect from our team.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry that your first interaction with us felt unwelcoming - that's genuinely not the impression we want to leave, especially when you came in ready to grow your email marketing. As an email service provider, we have compliance requirements in place to protect our sending infrastructure and maintain deliverability for all clients using the platform. Because of this, some businesses may require additional review before they can begin sending with Omnisend. As part of this process, our Compliance team reviewed the information you provided, as well as the nature and content of your store. Following this assessment, the team determined that we’re unable to provide services for your business under our Acceptable Use Policy. We recognize that it can be frustrating when we’re unable to provide the specific details behind an assessment. While certain aspects of individual evaluations cannot be disclosed, these decisions are made in accordance with our platform policies and the requirements necessary to protect our sending infrastructure. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and understand that this wasn’t the outcome you had hoped for. While the outcome of the review remains unchanged and we may be limited in the details we can provide about the assessment, our team remains available to assist with any other questions or clarification we’re able to provide regarding your account.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we completely understand why the lack of explanation made this feel concerning. We’d like to address one concern very clearly: the decision regarding your account was entirely unrelated to your business serving or selling products to the LGBTQ+ community. Omnisend does not restrict access to our services on the basis of the communities a business serves, and we’re sorry that the lack of detail around the decision left room for that concern. Our system automatically flags certain accounts during the onboarding stage based on signals our compliance tools detect. These signals are entirely unrelated to what a business sells or who it serves. After a manual review by our Compliance Team, a decision was made not to proceed — and while we recognize how frustrating it is to not receive a specific reason, we're unable to share the details of internal compliance investigations. That's not a policy we take lightly, but it's one we apply consistently to all accounts. We appreciate you raising this concern and giving us the opportunity to clarify it. We want you, and anyone reading this review, to feel confident that the community a business serves was not a factor in this decision. While there are limits to what we can disclose about individual compliance reviews, our team remains available should you have any further questions.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the migration process left you feeling frustrated and that our communication did not meet your expectations. Our migrations team completed your full Klaviyo migration, including flows, segments, lists, forms, templates, and contacts, within 3 business days of your migration form submission. After confirming completion, our team continued working with you over the following two weeks to investigate the additional concerns raised about your lists and segments. Throughout that process, we provided screenshots, reinitiated contact syncs multiple times, and extensively cross-referenced your Klaviyo and Omnisend setups to identify and address any potential discrepancies. While our reviews did not identify missing migration data, we continued investigating the areas you were concerned about and making additional adjustments where possible. We genuinely wanted to get this right for you and continued working closely to validate the setup and help ensure you could move forward with confidence. Regarding billing, a custom pricing arrangement had been prepared for your account based on the plan discussed with our team prior to migration. As custom plans cannot be activated through the standard self-service upgrade process, billing details were required for our team to apply the agreed pricing and complete the activation on our side. We understand that this process differs from a standard plan upgrade and may not have been what you expected. Throughout this process, our priority has been to provide the support needed to make your transition to Omnisend as smooth as possible. We genuinely care about setting our customers up for success, so we regret that the support and additional work provided did not leave you feeling that way. Our team remains available to continue working with you directly and address any outstanding questions about your migration, account setup, or billing.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating it must be to have your account suspended right at the start, and we're sorry the process felt unclear. When an account triggers our automated compliance checks, our team reviews it carefully before allowing any sending activity. These checks are in place to maintain a safe and trustworthy sending environment for everyone on the platform - because the quality of email infrastructure is shared, and protecting it benefits every business that relies on it. While we completely understand this wasn't the experience you were hoping for, we do reserve the right not to disclose the specific findings of our compliance reviews, as sharing those details publicly could compromise the integrity of the process itself. We can see that our team escalated your case twice to our Compliance team, including a second review after your store went live, and the decision was confirmed both times. We recognize this wasn’t the outcome you had hoped for and appreciate you sharing your experience with us.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We completely understand how receiving outreach at the wrong moment can feel intrusive, and we're sorry the experience left that impression. To clarify: the communications you received weren't triggered by uninstalling our app. The timing was coincidental. Your account had been on our free plan for some time, and you were included in a routine campaign we run for free-plan users who haven't yet had a chance to connect with our team. The campaign itself involved a small number of touchpoints across a few days. That said, we hear you. We've made sure you're unsubscribed from any future outreach, so you won't hear from us again unless you choose to reach back out. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and should you ever want to give Omnisend another go, we'd genuinely love the chance to make it right.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that your first impression of Omnisend felt frustrating, especially while you were still in the process of setting up your account. When an account is flagged for review, some communication channels may be temporarily disabled while our team checks whether the account can be supported under our platform policies. We understand that being asked several questions at the start may have felt less helpful than expected. These details are required for our Compliance team to complete a proper review, but we appreciate your feedback on how the process could have felt clearer and more guided. After a thorough review, our Compliance team determined that we’re unable to offer our services in this case. While we’re not able to share the specifics of the review publicly, our Terms of Service require all accounts to operate in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including those related to third-party intellectual property rights. Decisions like this aren’t taken lightly, and this process helps protect customers, recipients, and the overall deliverability environment for everyone using Omnisend. Thank you again for considering Omnisend. Our team remains available through the existing support conversation if you need any further clarification.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry the response times during this interaction didn't meet your expectations - we completely understand how frustrating that can be when you're in the middle of a technical issue. On the day you reached out, our team was handling an unusually high volume of conversations, which caused delays beyond our typical response time. DNS configuration reviews can also take a bit more time than usual, as our team needs to carefully assess the full setup before suggesting any changes - getting it wrong can cause bigger issues down the line. We realize that context doesn't make the wait feel any shorter, and we're sorry it left you feeling unsupported. We're glad you managed to get things sorted, and our team also followed up directly to make sure nothing was left unresolved. This interaction has been noted internally, and we're always working to improve how we handle peak periods so delays like this are minimized. Whenever you need us, we're just a message away - and we're committed to earning your trust back through every interaction, because your success truly matters to us.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We know how much trust it takes to move your business to a new platform, and we're truly sorry the process didn't go as expected. When you submitted your migration request, our team began working on it in good faith. Unfortunately, Yotpo unexpectedly shut down operations on June 20th, cutting off access to their platform entirely and making it impossible to complete the migration. This caught us off guard, too, and we understand how disappointing that must have felt after already waiting. We also recognize that the communication around this situation could have been handled better, and we'll make sure that's reflected going forward. Your contacts are already in Omnisend, and our team is right there with you every step of the way. Getting you fully set up is the priority, and we're not going anywhere until that's done.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry your onboarding experience didn't start the way it should have. After reviewing your account, we found the contact count difference came from how the Klaviyo migration worked. The Klaviyo Data Import Tool brought over all contacts, including those with "never subscribed" status in Klaviyo. In Omnisend, those become non-subscribers, and since they're eligible to receive transactional and behavioral automations, they count toward your billable total. That's why the number looked significantly higher compared to what Klaviyo was charging. We're glad our team was able to clear this up and move your account to a fixed tier based on your actual subscriber count, which should feel much more in line with what you were expecting. We genuinely want to make sure you get the most out of Omnisend, and we're just one message away whenever you need us.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We hear you, and we understand where you're coming from. To clarify: downgrading to the Free plan doesn't require going through a retention representative. It can be done directly in your account under Store Settings > Pricing and Usage > Cancel. When the chat routes you to our team first, it's because we genuinely want to understand the reason behind the change, so we can improve and make sure you're on the right plan for your needs. It wasn't meant to create barriers, but we completely understand how it felt that way, and that's fair feedback we'll take seriously. Our support team also offered to handle the downgrade for you directly in the chat, and we're glad they were able to step in quickly. We appreciate you raising this. Making plan changes simple and accessible matters to us, and your perspective helps us look at where the experience can be clearer. If there's anything else you need, we're here.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We always want to better understand which parts of our platform customers feel are not user friendly, so we’re glad we had the opportunity to learn more about your experience. We understand how important it is for automations and SMS workflows to feel intuitive, especially when you’re trying to set things up quickly and efficiently for your business. In this case, the current limitation around dynamic product details in back-in-stock SMS messages did not align with what you were looking to achieve. Our team did their best to clarify how the feature currently works and offer alternative solutions, including combining SMS with email for a more complete back-in-stock experience. We also shared your feedback internally with our product team for future consideration. We genuinely appreciate you sharing your perspective, as feedback like this helps us continue improving both the platform and the customer experience.

Thank you for your feedback - we appreciate you sharing it. We'd like to clarify how our pricing works for anyone reading this. Omnisend charges based on billable contacts, not the number of emails or campaigns sent. Billable contacts include: • Subscribers - contacts who opted in to receive marketing • Non-subscribers - contacts who placed an order, abandoned a cart, or created an account without opting in to marketing Our pricing is publicly available, so there are no surprises - and we're always happy to help find the plan that best fits your sending volumes and contact list size. Feel free to reach out to our support team via the in-app chat or at [email protected] and we'll be glad to help.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand why seeing different prices on Shopify and our website would feel frustrating, and we’re sorry the pricing structure did not come across clearly. The Shopify App Store shows our base starting price of $16 for the Standard plan, which applies to accounts with up to 500 contacts. Pricing scales based on the total number of contacts in your account, which is why you saw a different amount when viewing plans for your specific account audience size. Our billing is based on billable contacts, which includes both subscribers and non-subscribers. Non-subscribers are contacts who can still receive valuable automated emails like abandoned cart reminders, order confirmations, and post-purchase follow-ups through our platform. We understand this model can feel unexpected, especially if you were anticipating billing based solely on subscribers, and we appreciate you sharing that feedback with us. We're aware that the way pricing is displayed on Shopify has caused confusion, and our team is actively working on making this clearer. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we're grateful our support team had the opportunity to work with you directly to find a pricing solution that better fits your needs and business goals.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for flagging your concerns. We understand how frustrating it can feel when pricing doesn’t match your expectations, especially if it seems unclear at the start. We want to clarify that Omnisend does not charge a flat mandatory $500 monthly fee just to keep an account active. Our pricing is based on the selected plan tier and usage, including contact count and optional add-ons such as SMS. From what we can see, you were using a plan subscription alongside additional SMS credits purchased separately. While this setup is available, it is not always the most cost-effective option, and we understand how this could lead to higher-than-expected charges if not optimized. After reviewing your account, we found that your charges have remained consistent throughout your billing cycle, with no unexpected increases. That said, we genuinely want to help clarify any confusion and make sure your plan works for your business. Our support team has reached out to you directly to review your billing in detail and explore options to optimize your pricing setup based on your actual usage.
