Stamped Reviews & Loyalty

We have used Stamped for nearly seven years and, until recently, had very few problems. Unfortunately, in the last few months our review requests have stopped sending on three separate occasions. Each time, requests have built up in the pending queue and we have had to contact support. Support has then had to manually push the outstanding requests through, rather than the system continuing to send them as scheduled. The most recent time, we were told on 2 July that requests had started sending again. However, by 9 July there were 450 requests sitting in the pending queue, including requests scheduled from 2 July onwards. It therefore appears that the automated service either did not properly restart or stopped working again almost immediately. We are paying $199 a month for the Professional plan, so we expect such a fundamental part of the service to work reliably. As a small family-run business, customer reviews are extremely important to us, and repeatedly having to notice the problem ourselves and contact support is becoming a serious issue. I genuinely hope Stamped can identify the cause and put a permanent fix in place, as we have used the platform for many years and would prefer to continue doing so. However, we cannot continue paying $199 a month for a service that repeatedly stops working and requires manual intervention. Unless the issue is properly resolved, we will have to consider moving to another provider.

I just started managing the company's Stamped.io account actually and have some both positive and more constructive feedback. I love that the program has automated features to it, like sorting the flagged reviews versus the auto-published ones. The exclude certain terms tool is also super useful especially in our industry. Now, some feedback I have that may potentially help improve the platform is that the review request email templates should be easier to edit. In order to edit it, there are many broken-up sections so it is not super efficient to see the whole picture in one place. Also, it would be cool if there were more manual capabilities with sorting through the incoming, unpublished reviews. The customer support has been pretty good overall as well, although I do support the idea that English-speaking representatives help English-speaking customers for higher efficiency.

I am just starting to integrate the app into my Shopify store and cannot give a a complete evaluation yet It might be higher after I really have a chance to use it. I like the features and have it partially running on my site. I wanted to test drive the free version before deciding, which paid version would work best. There is no support for the free version so I am trying to find Youtube videos to help with my specific issues but this has been very time consuming. I am not a techie and run the store by myself, so I do not have a lot of time to invest. It would be nice if there was a good learning resource to help with the process of getting it up and running properly. Hopefully I can figure things out and get the most out of it.

The 1st line Stamp support team are fantastic. But the support behind them leaves something to be desired. It’s perhaps unfair to list all the issues we have had, having worked with this App for over 4 years, there are bound to be challenges. It has come to a point where we have to express how we feel more publicly. Recently we have again sent batches of review request emails out - and they haven't sent. We are told sometimes they take time for them to be 'processed in the backend' . We have had to request manual push of emails in the past. At the end of February we noticed that pending review requests had no products or product image - so we therefore could not send them out. As we approach 4 week later - still the Stamped Product Team are working on it. The support team are told that the issue is linked to the Shopify API and a recent product sync issue. The same issue stopped customers getting reward points on their other App. We do not know if this is impacting many brands, but if we can’t send our reviews, the App can not work for us. We say again – thank you 1st line support for all you hard work and trying to keep us position.

So far, it's an attractive review system and seems to have good functionality. The downside is that the help documentation is really, really terrible. Poorly written, hard to understand, vague, and some of it is out of date or missing important information.

Fairly useful app. I’ll keep using it until I find something better. The UI to review and manage reviews could be more smooth and intuitive.

Decent review tool with solid functionality but needs some serious updates to be easier, more user friendly, and powerful. The email builder doesn't really allow you to have emails that feel on brand because of its limited functionality. I also wish the visual design and information architecture on the reviews list page was easier to sort through and read.

this app is to help me understand better the customer expectations. I find it too limited and not flexible enough

still using lets see how it will turn out, still not sure because it keep asking me for it and I'm haven't used it enough. Still waiting for it.

Not sure yet. I am trying to figure this out. I am having major issue with trying to get Aliexpress reviews transferred. It just continues to say scanning. I also can't get the email DNS to be verified. It looked like i needed to add my email in the field. I now deleted whatever email code was in there and now i see errors in red. So far its a bad experience.

just uploaded the app.. will return and write a review after we use the app for more than the set up.

The customer service is very friendly and responds fast and proactively. The platform is user-friendly and it looks good. It is easy to use. The only hitch is that I wish Stamped.io would be one of the licensed apps by Google to syndicate both product and seller ratings.

If everything works, it works well. If it doesn't work -- you can expect a 3 to 5 day turnaround for technical support. I'm transitioning my 2 business accounts to another company. This will be a net loss of $125 for Stamped.io

I need to change my review and say that this company is so big that is unbelievable that they don't have chat support or telephone support for urgent issues. I had a big urgent problem with customers getting 10x more points than they should and it was impossible to contact any support and had to wait for them to get back to me by mail. I will change my review when they update and add a telephone number to support or add a live chat. This company is too big not to have it.

After using this app since 2019, I'm sorry to say there are some frustrating flaws which are leading is to consider migrating to another service. 1) You can't display a single review (as in one review). You can only display a review title, which the user has to click to see the review. There are a number of problems with this approach, the main one being that 99% of review titles are generic like 'Great service' or 'Great product'. This makes the reviews look fake and makes people less likely to click the title to read the review - even if they understood that you have to click to see the actual review, which most people do not. 2) You can't leverage reviews by integrating them into your content. It's infinitely more powerful when your marketing text is backed-up by a customer who says the same thing. But not being able to display a review makes this impossible (review titles are almost pointless as noted above). We've been told that to display a single review, we'd have to hire a developer to make a custom app. This sounds crazy for such basic functionality. 3) We often go through periods where in-page reviews don't display on the front-end at all. When this happens we try multiple browsers, try viewing on our phones over the mobile network (bypassing our ISP), clearing the cache etc. Then after a while, the reviews display agin. 4) The app is unacceptably slow 90% of the time - and we're on 200Mbps fibre with only two people using the bandwidth. Every click has a delay, it's crazy. Also, adding reviews in the Shopify editor is painfully slow, often requiring constant re-loads just to see them (often 3 or 4 reloads). 5) [Edit - this is now fixed] You can't search reviews! This used to work but it's been broken for months now, something support has acknowledged. If all you need is a decent system to collect reviews and display them on product pages, then great. But if you want to start leveraging your reviews in more places around your site, like the home page, landing pages, blocks etc, then I'd seriously consider another app. What's kept us using Stamped for so long is the great service and the people. But the crazy limitations and speed issues are forcing us to consider a different app (we're not looking forward to moving). Sorry guys, very sad to leave this review. Cheers, Ben

Useful app, no idea how to send an email through it though.

Love what the app does but dislike the current upgrade. Very confusing! Although I've been using this app for a couple of years, I'm now seriously considering a change.

this app is good but try to have chinese language
