With the free version they do not allow you to remove the watermark and since it is quite large it takes away a lot of professionalism from the store.

Please note that the removal of the watermark is a feature available in our paid plans, designed to help us sustain and improve the free version of our app. We appreciate your understanding and are committed to providing the best experience possible.

When I purchased the play package and was ready to send my EDM, they abruptly terminated my campaign for not paying them an additional $1.45 for mailbox cleanup. Such hidden charges are hilarious, I hope shopify officials review these apps properly, it really gives a bad experience at all, paying an extra fee after paying a fee is not stated in the official app description.
Hello there, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the additional charge for the contact list cleanup. Your experience is important to us, and we regret any negative impression this has given. Your account was paused due to the high bounce rate of the latest campaign you sent at that time. Once your list was cleaned, your account was restored. Please know that this is not a limitation on our end, nor a means to make you pay extra. High bounce rates can damage your sender reputation in the long run. Additionally, the list cleaning feature is not a hidden fee and is not related to your plan. Any user, regardless of their plan, may need to clean their list if its quality is not good. A senior representative has contacted you to address the situation in detail. Please respond to their email at your earliest convenience. We are committed to resolving this matter and improving our service.

Avoid at all costs!!!! After learning they do not sync subscribers by default with shopify (at least on our account), we ended up activating the auto sync setting and still had issues with omnisend sending to unsubscribed users a week after syncing. We have been having constant syncing issues between omnisend and shopify. We signed up 2 weeks ago and have had problems from the start. We sent a total of 3 subscriber email campaigns in the first week to our subscribers and later a few test campaigns to 5-7 of our own emails. We stopped because we were receiving higher than normal spam rate on google postmaster we later found out that omnisend was still sending emails to unsubscribed users even after syncing. Omnisend was NOT showing any spam in their reports. We asked politely to refund the services since it is not working and then we could then cancel it. They refused saying that we sent emails already, even though their app was malfunctioning and sending to unsubscribed users when it shouldn't have. They sent us a few reasons why they COULD issue a refund. One being "a customer cannot use the features over the period they have paid for it due to a system malfunction and unexpected issue caused by it". We have not been able to use their service due to the syncing malfunction but they still refuse to refund us. We gave them 4 opportunities throughout a chain of emails to refund us and they repeatedly tried to convince us to continue to use their app and saying they won't be refunding us. Avoid at all costs! There are plenty of other email providers out there with a lot better support then here.
Hello there, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We apologize for the issues you've encountered with our app and the difficulties with syncing subscribers and managing unsubscribed users.

I've had the weirdest experience with this app. I installed this for my store a couple months ago, but haven't made any sales because I haven't done any marketing so I kept it at the free plan for months while I learned marketing. When I checked the analytics, I found that I have maxed out the email contacts that I can have... and I had over a THOUSAND contacts. Even though I only had around 400 website visits. I started deleting contacts, and found that more was added when I refreshed the page. It was a mixture of different kinds of email addresses, like @gmails and @aols and .txts. And when I tried to bulk delete them, Omnisend said that they would charge $2 for deleting them. This is extremely shady. Basically a dishonest tactic to get people to choose the paid plans by using robot emails. If Omnisend can't produce sales without resorting to unethical tactics, then it shouldn't be a company.
Hello there, We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. We take your concerns seriously and want to address them promptly. The issues you've encountered with your email contacts are not reflective of our standards or practices. We strive to provide transparent and ethical services to all our users. Regarding the unexpected increase in contacts and the difficulty in bulk deletion, we apologize for any inconvenience caused.

If you want to donate $60 to them and not get anything in return, and I'm not the first one - (thinking about a class action lawsuit), install the software... and then talk to Robert who won't help you at all, he'll just send you pages unrelated to your requests.
Hello there, We apologize for the frustration you've experienced. Your feedback is important to us, and we take your concerns seriously.

Extremely disappointing experience with Omnisend's customer service. After waiting 30 minutes for a response, all I received was a link to an article that did not solve my problem at all. When I tried to explain that the article was not helpful, they simply ignored me. I am still here, waiting for a solution. It is unacceptable for a customer service to be so negligent and unresponsive.
Hello there, We're truly sorry for the frustrating experience you had with our customer service. We always aim to provide prompt and helpful support, and it's disappointing to hear that we fell short in your case. We want to clarify that our agents typically share guided articles to help with general questions, especially those related to specific features in the email builder. However, we understand that your situation required more personalized assistance, and we apologize for any misunderstanding. I'm pleased to inform you that a senior agent has reached out to you via chat to address your concerns directly. Please feel free to engage with them there, and they'll work diligently to find a solution for you. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Their "award winning" support is absolutely terrible. Their new review functionality is creating fake contacts and they have zero solutions, but charged my account for over 1,100 additional contacts that aren't real people because of how their system is processing the new reviews import. For email marketing, the app is nice, but their support and failures with the reviews roll-out makes me want to find something else.
Hello there, We're truly sorry to hear about your frustrating experience. It's disheartening to hear that our support didn't meet your expectations and that you encountered issues with our review functionality.

We genuinely value your feedback, and we're committed to resolving this matter to your satisfaction. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to regain your trust in our service.

They offer 24/7 support but the chat support is the worst. You have to keep repeating things, they don't pay attention to what you're actually saying and they keep switching agents within the same conversation so none of them know what's going on. You have to constantly update them on the previous conversation. Most of your emails will go to spam if you use this company. Really not good.
Hello, Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We're sorry for any frustration you've had with our customer support. Your feedback is incredibly important as we strive to improve our service. We understand the importance of smooth communication and recognize that switching between agents can disrupt it. We're open to any suggestions to refine our shift-based model for better transitions while keeping the conversation context intact. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by having to repeat information. We're committed to improving our internal processes to ensure agents are fully briefed on your history before chatting with you. Regarding email deliverability, we've addressed the SPF issue and disabled the warm-up option to enhance it further. While we anticipate improvements, we appreciate your patience in monitoring your email system. We're here to help if needed. Furthermore, our senior support representative has reached out to you with additional information on the open rate. Please respond to them in the chat for further assistance. Your satisfaction is our priority. Please share any specific issues so we can investigate and resolve them promptly. Feel free to reach out to our support team directly. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we strive to enhance our support services.

HORRIBLE!!!! HORRIBLE!!!! All about this app!!!!!!! I spent over $150 on email services, only to have my first campaign canceled due to high bounced emails. I wasted 2 hours in a chat with support, waiting 10-15 minutes between responses!!!!! Eventually, they suggested I pay EXTRA to clean my email list, which I did. Yet, the campaign was paused AGAIN due to high bounced emails. The customer support is abysmal. DO NOT BUY from them!
Hello there, and thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with our services. Upon reviewing your account and the circumstances surrounding your campaign, it appears that in addition to the high bounce rate of your contacts, the spam rate has also exceeded the tolerated rate, which is 0.1%. While the cleaning list feature helped filter out risky contacts that could bounce, the spam rate could only be addressed by unsubscribing lapsed email subscribers. This was the second step of the solution provided by our team to ensure a clean list that doesn't harm your sending reputation. To facilitate this process for you, we have created a segment in your account specifically for lapsed email subscribers. You simply need to access it and unsubscribe all contacts within it. Once you've completed this step, we will be more than happy to restore your sending ability. Our senior support representative has reached out to you with additional information on this matter. Please respond to them in the chat to get your account unpaused. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention. Should you have any further questions or require assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Their automations don't work, and customer support is awful. I sent them a screenshot of their own app (the flow creation section), clear and precise and they said it's not part of their app but a screenshot of Shopify. After sending them the link they admitted it was their app. The customer support haven't even used the app themselves obviously. Deleted and Installed the app twice, and tested a simple abandoned cart recovery automation multiple times and it doesn't work. Customer support is little to no help. Only a waste of time. Their email editor is also broken. You have to refresh it every minute because it stops responding and gets stuck. Wasting lots of hours when making an automation flow. We are moving to a better marketing app. Think twice before spending hours creating automations and flows that won't work.
Hello there! Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've encountered with our platform and customer support. At Omnisend, we are actively working to address any issues our customers raise, and your case is no exception! Your feedback is invaluable, and we're committed to enhancing our services.

We had to verify our domains in the app. my developer did that and passed the ownership back to me. For over a week now I try to get back the ownerhip, set up payment and send emails. The team from omnisend does not only not read the former chat, but still brings me back to the same problems we could not solve from our side. -I can not add myself in primary store setting with my email as admin, so I can not, pay, ergo no emails in our campaigns for over a week.. I did also send the store ID where we have the problem with, but hey, the log in into the other store (different ID ) and tell me there is no issue. Best is the question to change my shopify store email so its matching the email I would use in their system as admin or owner!! Sure. Customer service is slow, does not solve problems and is not willing to give a discount or any reach out for creating the problems and not following up correctly. I don´t switch to mailchimp because I have omnisend also on another shop. Stay away if you are into customer service and fast help and depend on your mailer.

Omnisend's accountability and customer service is lost to me as of recent, as trying to update my name servers led to another user taking over my account. Despite being repeatedly told that they would resolve the issue within 24-48 hours, I have not received any assistance in 6 days, preventing me from sending critical emails and impacting my livelihood. Unfortunately, tech support has been unhelpful and failed to follow up on their promises. Omnisend used to provide excellent service, but currently, I am left without a solution.
Hello there! We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced with Omnisend and greatly appreciate your patience during this challenging time. We understand the critical nature of your situation and regret that you've had to navigate through such a circumstance. We want to clarify that the 24-48 hour timeframe is an estimated response time for our Tech Support team to provide insights, ask additional questions, or offer solutions. Please note that the resolution time may vary based on the complexity of the issue. Despite this, we are committed to addressing inquiries promptly and regret any confusion surrounding this matter. It's crucial to emphasize that the domain records authentication issue is unrelated to another user taking over your account. We value your patience and cooperation in swiftly resolving this matter. We're pleased to see that our support team guided you through steps to address the issue of another user taking over your account. We're also delighted to confirm that your domain records issue and concerns about excessive contacts have been successfully resolved! Your feedback is highly valuable to us, and we take it seriously. We are actively working to enhance our communication and support processes to prevent similar issues in the future.

Would like to say something positive about the app but I have tried reaching out to multiple support people without as much as an email back. They simply never reply to any questions. Their internal investigation must have been really poor, because I have clearly reached out to omnisend on 15/12/2023 (Jordan Walden) and on 31/01/2024 via [email protected]

Free ESP features with a hefty price tag, confusing pricing, and 1-star customer service. Omnisend's email automations are easy to set up and use. That's the only good thing I can and will say about this ESP. The pricing: confusing They nickel and dime you for every feature. My bill has more than doubled in less than two years. The features certainly have not. The features: rigid If you're a seasoned email marketer, you're going to be frustrated by the lack of available features and customizations. If you're going to rely on Omnisend's templates, please run. They are awful and not at all customizable beyond colors and fonts (if they even have your font). You're going to spend a LOT of time creating emails and making them look good. The reporting: What reporting? Stop expecting customers with small list sizes to pay hundreds of dollars a month for impactful reporting. Every metric that will help you is paywalled. If you're not a data-driven organization, this ESP is for you. If you're not data-driven, fix that TODAY. The customer service: A joke Every time I've run into an issue - which is often - the customer service is lackluster and lacks accountability or follow-through. Documentation online of often outdated and/or missing key information. As a company: Disappointing I stopped using Omnisend after getting an invite to a virtual summit a couple of years ago and there were ZERO women speakers. It's 2024. You couldn't find one non-white man to speak on a panel? Embarrassing.

stay away from this app. After you put your credit card, there is no way to get rid of it. You can not uninstall. After you install it, there is no way to uninstall. So, just stay away ! They just inform you the price is bigger, and there is nothing you can do. Paymnets will be made automatically.
