I have had some issues with Omnisend since beginning using it, from it's limitation of sizing (popups) to a few other things. But today, I put the account on a freeze to explore some options and better looks, and they charged me for the freeze and also charged me for the next month of service. Doesn't get much more corrupt than that. I reached out to support (which they make difficult) and go a non-answer answer of let me pass this to someone else. Taking this and the price increases into account. I would advise against using Omnisend anymore, but be careful how you get out. They may charge you more for leaving.
Hi there, we appreciate you for taking the time to leave Omnisend a review. We apologize for not being able to get back to you sooner on the matter. Indeed, freezing your account does have a fee and see that you were charged for your subscription before freezing your account. Our billing team refunded the charge for such subscription as soon as you reached out to our support team to assist on the matter. As for experiencing certain inconveniences with our product, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team at [email protected], and our team will be more than to assist on any questions or concerns you may have.

Unglaublich Lange Ladezeiten! Fehlerhafte Funktionen! Ich bin in letzter Zeit Sehr unzufrieden mit dem Support. Lange Wartezeiten auf Rückmeldungen und dann kommen antworten , mit denen man nichts anfangen kann. Bei diesen überteuerten Preise der App, erwartet man wenigstens einen besseren Support. Aktuell bin ich sehr unzufrieden und kann Omnisend nicht weiterempfehlen!
Hello! Thank you for sharing your recent experience with our support team. We apologize for the frustration you encountered. Your feedback is valuable, and we'll take it into consideration while improving the quality of our service. Regarding your inquiry about sending newsletters that redirect to your Amazon products and offering discounts, you can include Amazon links in your newsletters. However, implementing automatic discounts for Amazon products via Omnisend is not currently supported. We have noted your request for future consideration. We hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity to meet your expectations. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I referred this app to 4000+ students and they had the nerve to deactivate my account when I have been using them for years and had a solid email list and when I contacted them they said the compliance team has decided they do not want to do business with me and has the right to not discuss why. My store was a christian store with two fasting and praying journals on it. If you ask me it sounds like they are being religious because I literally have not done anything wrong. I feel scammed after vouching this app to thousands of people and lost my entire email list after all of my hard work.

I am not very happy, very bad first impression of Omnisend. Downloaded app 5 days ago. Process was pretty easy in the beginning to set up but then I hit a wall by not being able to verify my domain. It's been 5 days yet nobody has helped me solve this problem, my business has been unable to send out marketing campaigns and it's been 12 hours since I last spoke with someone in customer service who basically ignored me. Terrible way to start things and it's hurting my business.

A horrible customer service experience. Worked on an Email template for over 2 hours and after activating the same, the template got reset (twice). Contacted the customer service who kept me waiting for half hour only to get a reply that it will take them 48 hours to check on the issue if this can be fixed. What is worst is that they assign staff based on the tier of the customer you are which is quite bias already. If this review doesn’t get updated, most likely I switched to Klavio.

I recently had a terrible experience with this service. To make matters worse, they don't even have a phone number to call for help! When I tried to get assistance through their online chat, the operator was unhelpful and didn't seem to care about my concerns. I am extremely disappointed with this service and would not recommend it to anyone.

Omnisend will actively restrict what you do with your customer email data. Customization of segments and work flows is not possible at all.
Howdy! Thanks for taking the time to review our app! It's quite unfortunate you found yourself in a pickle like this with Omnisend. Please be assured we are not restricting you in any way with your customer email information. You are free to collect the contacts and use them in your marketing needs however you'd like. Please note that Omnisend is an email marketing platform, therefore, we're putting customer consent first and treat campaigns as marketing messages to both give you the freedom to communicate your updates to the customers and ensure your contacts' e-well-being. Our support specialist has already reached out to you with some additional information on how you can customize the assets you have and use those in your marketing needs! If you have any questions or need any assistance, do not hesitate to contact our Support Team, we are available 24/7 and can be reached via In-app chat or email at [email protected]. Have a great day!

Seems they have a lot of "good reviews", most likely all of those are fake. Installation and setting everything up is seemingly easy, but at least in our Abandoned Cart flow, we encountered lots of bugs. Issues with Omnisend: - Emails go out at random times and the delay set between the emails is completely useless. For example an email that was supposed to go out 15 minutes after the abandoned cart, arrived in the inbox 8 hours later. - At times the emails did not arrive at all, not even in the spam folder. This was not a setting issue. - Worst part was that the final test we did with a completely new email, duplicate amount of emails were sent. Of course hours later once again, and then again 9 hours later. - The discount code they generate does not seem to be automatically applied in the checkout. ...Did not investigate this further as the app proved to be useless, we are not even going to bother with support, they too did not reply as the recommended time frame. All of this set us back 2 days. Would not recommend using.
Hello there; thank you for leaving a review; it is highly appreciated. We are sorry for the issues you faced. As we can see, our Support Team was trying to help you investigate the case, but you haven't responded. We will provide some info here as well, but please note that in order to investigate this case, we would need some examples of such cases (with their emails): - There are few reasons for the issue with delay, it could be related to a contact who comes and updates their cart a few times, or it could be an editing workflow case; - This issue would be better to investigate with our team and we would appreciate if you could provide an example of such case; - Most likely related to frequency settings in the workflow and can be easily fixed by enabling this option; - Shopify generates discount codes, Omnisend only sync them and adds to the email, in order to automatically add a discount code to the checkout page, you need to enable this option in discount settings when customizing your email. Again, we are sorry for the issues you have faced, and we would be more than glad to assist you in our in-app chat or by email. You can send us an email to [email protected]; our support is available 24/7.

1- They charged for SMS and their SMS doesn't even work in the UAE. I requested a refund and they never replied back. and again I got charged for 2nd month. 2- the welcome discount generated for use of signup is a complete disaster! if you have sales on your store the new user will get additional discounts and you will end up losing so much money as there's no way to control the code they generate.

Used this app for years and then one day my pop ups, email captures and everything else just disappeared from my site!! In fact, the app had no record of my customer data. Wrote for support but haven't received an answer or my data back! I guess maybe they did an update and forgot about their current customers! If this can get my data back and it is working again, I'd certainly appreciate it. But it's no longer a 4.8 rated app. Any app that just stops working on you and then can't even show you as an existing client, let alone get your working data back you created...isn't worth a rating.
Hello there, thank you for sharing your feedback with us, we appreciate it. We are really sorry for the issues you are facing, we checked your account and can see that your account, unfortunately was deleted due to inactivity (it was inactive for 6+ months). We completely understand your frustration, and our support team would be more than glad to assist you with re-creating content you had. You can reach our support team by emailing [email protected] or use in-app chat. Thank you again for your feedback and sorry for the troubles.

First they have very limited templates. And then I raised first case related to one of the templates and they've failed to resolve it. Instead working on it their tech team advised me to use jpeg and other supported formats. While there was no issue with the format as I used jpeg only. Had given them real campaign code to check - not sure why they asked for it if they had to give generic advice. They again asked me to wait for tech team's revert. They actually don't look at the problem and intend to solve, but rather give generic advices.
Hello! Thank you for leaving a review for us. We are really sorry for the issues you are facing. Our team is working on the bug you reported, as soon as it is fixed we will update you here and though our support team. Sorry again for the troubles and thank you for you patience and collaboration.

You can't choose the exact amout of credit you want for SMS you have to take their packages (which in my case was much more then needed), now if you haven't use the credits left after 2 months they're STEALING your money and credit you're back to 0$ even tho you didn't uses the credit that you paid for!
Hello there! Thank you for your honest feedback, it is really appreciated. We are sorry for the troubles you faced. Please note that unused credits are valid for 2 months, this info could be found here -> https://support.omnisend.com/en/articles/1832295-sms-credits-subscription. As we can see you reached out to our support with this query and they were able to assist you.

Terrible experience with their bad service. They keep changing the agents when you have a question or issue with your account. And they are not trying to help or understanding your situation. I got a technical issue of sending email campaigns with all broken product images, they solved it after a couple of days without noticing me. I only found out myself. After talking to them, they did not explain what was happening and offered a 20% off discount to compensate. But the funny part is the 20% discount overwrote my existing 30% off discount applied on my account??? And nobody gives a good reason for it or was able to switch it back! Feeling so disappointed with the bad service and surprised by their way of dealing issue. Thinking of changing to another email marketing app.
Hello there, and thank you for taking the time to submit a review! We apologize for not being able to get back to you sooner on the matter. Please keep in mind that even though we provide support 24/7, it can be difficult to have the same agent handle each request, thus as soon as the agent is no longer available, other agents step in and strive to tend to our customers as best as possible. We understand how frustrating it can be to encounter such an issue, especially after investing time in creating your emails. Unfortunately such problem was encountered with Shopify but was addressed and tended to in a prompt manner. As for the discount, your previous 30% off discount expired previously on September 2023 and between downgrading and upgrading your account such discounts tend to be automatically removed as discounts are tied to subscriptions and not accounts. We see that our billing team re-added the previous discount you had upon reaching out to our team. If you should need any further assistance, do not hesitate to reach out at [email protected], and our team will be more than happy to be of assistance. Have a great day!

I think most of these reviews are fake... what is the point in accumulating subscribers if you can't reach out to them in a timely fashion. The last time we sent out a campaign it was a year ago.. even then we got "Paused". We needed that email to go out at a particular time of day, and now that is not going to happen. Their customer service is worse, "we will get back to you in a few hours", this is early morning business hours. I advice find some other solution. After the email was finally sent out I got a "Warning" letter stating that too many got flagged as spam and our campaigns might get paused... according to their own report 12 out of 11273 reported spam, that is 1 in 833 recipients !!
Hello there and thanks for rating our app! We're sorry you've found yourself in this circumstance. Please note, however, that a long pause in sending to your list is one of the triggers for a campaign verification. The reason for this is that over extended time periods, such as a year, a contact list may accumulate a substantial number of invalid emails, as your clients' inboxes may get filled or inactive. The condition stated may result in a rise in campaign bounce rates. These bounces dramatically harm your sender reputation, resulting in varied degrees of deliverability issues. For the purpose of protecting your sender reputation, the campaign verification enables us to examine a subset of your mailing list to establish how many bad emails are present in it. To avoid triggering the campaign verification, we recommend sending a campaign at least once every two to three weeks. Also, our support team takes pride in their response time; according to the log of your last chat with us, our support agent responded to you 6 minutes after you filed your query. We will use your feedback to enhance both the product and the customer support team. Have a wonderful day!

This is a dreadful email platform that requires a lot of work just to integrate with your existing Shopify forms. Want to send a lead magnet based on a shopify form? Good luck. Subscribers from all forms are lumped into one source. Calling this "made for Shopify" is using a VERY broad brush. Want to embed a form? You get one line. That's it. Otherwise it has to be a pop-up or landing page. I have requested help to get my store connected and it finally is, but that's because I researched and added my own code. I still can't distinguish which form an email came from so I know which automation to send. Their help desk responds quickly, but it's cursory and they tell you "the right department will help you in a few days". It's been a few weeks and I can't get basic questions answered. It's useless to me and I'm moving on.
Hello there, and thank you for taking the time to leave a review! Indeed, Omnisend uses Shopify Webhooks to transfer subscribed contacts to your Omnisend account when using 3rd party forms. This process is completely automated and does not require any input from you. Omnisend will not be able to capture additional forms on your website unless they are included with your Shopify theme. Custom forms will continue to function, and contacts will continue to be routed into your Omnisend account if the form is linked to Shopify. Omnisend will obtain the contact information in this case by syncing it from your Shopify backend. There are lead magnet options such as embedded forms and landing pages that you can use on your website. In this case, Omnisend supports separate tagging, so you'll know where the contact came from exactly! Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience; a support representative has already contacted you with more information on this matter. Have a great day!

Unfortunately terrible customer service. Have contacted them 5 times via email and chat with no reply. We build stores for a range of clients and need support across all of our clients email accounts. DO NOT USE - Klaviyo support is a million times more helpful. Although Klaviyo may be missing a few features we wanted for our clients, support is essential for any business and Omnisend has zero.
Hello there, and thank you for taking the time to provide feedback! We're sorry about your experience with our customer support team. We do our best to resolve issues in a timely manner, and we do take customer service very seriously. Your feedback is taken into consideration, it has been communicated to our team. Our support representative has already reached out to you with more details. Have a fantastic day!

Recently had an issue with my simple capture form and it's been taking days for them to solve it. The issue is very simple (change size and make it centered) though. I don't normally give negative reviews but this has been the most frustrating experience ever.
Hello there and thanks for taking the time to leave the feedback, we appreciate it! We have already relayed your comment to our team, the next iteration of the embedded forms will havean improved feature-set which will allow for more design flexibility! If you have any questions or need any assistance, do not hesitate to contact our Support Team, we are available 24/7 and can be reached via In-app chat or email at [email protected]. Have a great day!

Worst support on Shopify! They have no clue what they are talking about. They kept switching with different agents giving multiple contradictory answers. Resulting in explaining the same thing over and over again, and losing potential subscribers in the meantime. They offered help from their technical support, but the technical team never helped. Over a week later: they will tell you to ask your own developer as their Technical Support is limited to acting only in internal situations! What a waste of time.
Greetings and many thanks for your review! We're doing our best to provide you with accurate feedback, which requires our Support Team to escalate the problem to our Technical Department. Following our Tech Team's examination, we determined that the issue is on your end. To ensure that the footer form captures and pushes subscribers to Omnisend, the form classes should be modified in the theme file. They are editable on your end only. As a result, our Technical Support team is unable to act on your behalf. Our senior support representative has already contacted you with some additional information regarding this situation. Have a fantastic day!
