Linesandcurrent1 review for Privy ‑ Email, SMS & Pop Ups

Sept. 16, 2025

We were long-time users of Privy, but our experience has been deeply disappointing and financially damaging. In 2019, Privy's own support team confirmed in writing that a duplicate account tied to our Shopify store had been identified and closed. We were assured that no further charges would be incurred. Despite this, Privy continued charging us for nearly six years on a second account that was inaccessible and had no associated email address. Unfortunately we only discovered this in 2025. After presenting full documentation, including screenshots of their original cancelled confirmation, Privy refunded just six months' worth of charges out of a total of 70+ months—refusing to refund the rest and claiming they could no longer locate the original correspondence due to “internal system changes.” This is unacceptable from a company that provides email and CRM services. Failing to honour a written cancellation, charging for a service that could not be accessed, and then denying responsibility years later reflects a troubling disregard for transparency, accountability, and customer trust. Merchants should be extremely cautious. If something goes wrong, you may find yourself with little recourse, even if you have clear evidence and written promises from their own team.
