Nothing in this stupid platform works correctly. Even a simple abandoned cart flow. Reporting is poor, you constantly go redirect from one app to another for no reason. Customer service is the WORST! They are responsive until they get your money, after that you are alone with all the BS their platform has.

This is app is frustrating to use, not intuitive. I came from Omnisend before and found it to be way easier to use. A few issues just today: -Slow response time in chat right before Black Friday. I have questions before launching my campaign on Black Friday and have not received a response for many hours. Most other Shopify apps I use have international support who can respond in minutes. There also isn't AI auto responder in chat to answer questions or refer to relevant help pages. They just put you on hold for hours. -No easy way to convert customers to email subscribers in bulk. I thought this would be a given. I select multiple contacts and there is no obvious way to convert them to email campaign subscribers. I can only add them to lists or segments. I also made a segment a few months ago and when I try to look at it, it is now a dead link (goes to error page) so I can't even access a list from 6 months ago. -In designer there is no way to have a multicolumn grid with synced products from my store. You can add a product block which allows you to sync only one product per row. If you want to have multicolumn you have to manually build image/text multicolumn by uploading your own images and filling in text, then linking to each product by pasting URLs. There should be an easy way to sync products automatically with a multicolumn product template. In conclusion, I am a computer savvy person and have had a Shopify store for 5 years. This app should be way simpler to use. I would recommend that Brevo take a look at these issues. Although more expensive, I found Omnisend to be very simple. I only switched because I don't send email campaign often enough to justify the monthly cost. If Brevo can not help with these issues I will be forced to cancel.

SMS stopped working exactly when I needed them most — during the most important time of the year — even though I had purchased credit in advance. To make things worse, the first response from their customer service team was: “Oh, they are working,” when it was obvious they hadn’t checked the past 7 days. The backend failed at the worst possible moment, and the support agent (Harish) completely overlooked the issue. I had to insist multiple times just to get an escalation. A failure from start to finish. Truly unacceptable for a critical period.

Do not switch to BREVO SMS, if you come from Yotpo like I did, it's a big scam, they give you a lot of credits, and you believe you are paying top price for SMS while in reality you don't, i made a terrible mistake of moving and paying a yearly upfront price. Plus they are making it super difficult to see what you spend and what was the ROAS associated with it. Never again

Terrible support and responsiveness to questions and requests. Push you to the managed services, and if you don't... They will direct you back to chat support, which is not ideal; I am now looking for other options. Just disappointed in it.

The app has done nothing but drive me nuts. The team has been supportive and responsive enough...but keep telling me the issues been escalated and they'll get back to me...they don't. Issues I've had (I'm based in Australia); - SMS will charge me based on number of contacts but not deliver...I've been refunded once because of this issue and thought I'd try again with a new campaign...no better. Awaiting a refund on this as well - Web Push; each time I need to buy more credits. I'm not on a small budget, I've paid for credits yet the campaigns get paused and they expect more credits to be purchased. Overall, the experience with the app has been well below expectations, super disappointed. Waste of time.

Horrible experience! In connecting the app and setting it up. So I decided to cancel on the same day, followed the agents instructions and cancelled and uninstalled the app, a month later, BOOM, charged! Won't recommend to anyone

Worse app ever which I did not choose to use but Brevo (which I was using) imposed in my Shopify store. No explanations, no tutorials. I have lost all new contacts because the double opt-in process was removed without informing me. Pushowl help centre is not customers-oriented, using a language only they can understand, so you are left with no help and no solutions. I am extremely upset

90% emails will go Spam folders. I used my base from Shopify store, they banned my campaign after 5-10 unsubscribes. I sent 3 emails to support within 2 weeks - no answers, probably they do not have support. Anyway, 90% email from them will go to spam, - read reviews on Reddit

Absolutely pathetic!! I wanted to migrate to omnisend but they are not migrating our push subscribers to the new platform. Just a trick to force users to stick to their platform. Have been chasing them for over 2 months but in vein. Have to start my subscribers from zero on omnisned. Lost 27000+ subscribers on their hand. It's a scam!! They deliberately do this to force you to stay!

After 5 years of using Klaviyo and MailerLite without issues, I decided to switch to Brevo for a cheaper option. After signing up, I was immediately contacted and told to request a refund and instead register via PushOwl. That was already a confusing start. After sending our first email campaign through Brevo, our account was immediately suspended due to bounce rate concerns. In all our years using Klaviyo and MailerLite, this had never happened - not once. I’m frustrated that I'm spending time and money jumping through hoops to meet the standards of what is, the cheapest and lowest rated email service of the 3. Brevo feels like a watered-down, knock off of Klaviyo without the features or reliability. While I do appreciate the pay-per-email pricing model, it comes at the cost of needless hurdles. Unless price is your only concern, I would not recommend Brevo. It may be an option for startups on a tight budget, but be prepared for added work and limitations. This experience has only motivated me to grow my business so I can afford to return to Klaviyo.

CS is super slow. The sign up is a mess with Brevo vs Pushowl. I first signed up on Brevo using my personal email. When I input my shop URL, it made me install the Shopify app. Which I did. But this seemed to have created a separate account under PushOwl because the email for Shopify was different. And now, without knowing the different accounts existed, after I kept working directly on Brevo, paid the first subscription, did all my CNAME verification, imported data from Mailchimp and after sending my first email, the CS told me I need to cancel the Brevo account, and use the PushOwl account. That is when I noticed this account thing is really messed up with this service. So confusing. And CS does not respond. I have to wait a day to get a simple reply.

Absolutely do not recommend this app at all. All I wanted to do was set up abandoned cart email. 24 hours later & still no resolution. Rubbish & waste of time.

TERRIBLE customer service. They might get back to you in 24 hours they might not. They banned our account for not following their terms and conditions, but it was due to an issue with a spam email/bot reporting us, and not a legitimate concern. We've been fighting with them for over 2 months to get our service back online. Each time they give you the default response of "we have filed this to our team and will get back to you when we have more information". Then weeks go by with nothing from them. Reach back out, and they say, "we don't have any details regarding your issue". It's a joke and the whole time they send you emails and messages trying to upsell you, but they can't even figure out there own issues. They're just interested in taking your money. We've been using this service which used to be Sendinblue, then Brevo, and now Pushowl for 4 years and they have just gone to crap!

The setup was painful for our headless store, some of the triggers aren't properly documented or just half assed. Support took a couple days to respond with what we needed but was friendly otherwise. After that there has been an other support request because our Shopify users won't sync properly and the Brevo support hasn't responded for a week. We pay money for something we can't use properly.

email verification did not came and no option to send another verication code, just stuck here without support. syncing customer is another step bad UI
