Rivo: Loyalty Program, Rewards

Jan. 20, 2023

Oh my, I'm blown away by great service from Rivo team. We're looking for better loyalty app to replace LoyaltyLion as their Small Business package only allows us to modify the color of the widget, which is not great for branding. Their Basic Plan and Advanced Plan are too expensive for us. We have been checking Yotpo and Smile.io Smile.io service is great and easy to get in touch with. However, their Gold Plan does not support a dedicated Loyalty Page. We ended up choosing Yotpo. Because they don't have a trial period to see what they have inside for the Gold Plan, I tried so hard to ask for just a demo call. Ridiculous, right? But it's the truth. The guy in the demo call wanted to sell me the Reviews app while I was asking him about the Loyalty one. I even asked for a one or three-day trial with the Gold Plan to see what we could do inside, but they said they're not allowed to. I paid 249usd to upgrade from the free version to the Gold Plan. After that, I realized that many of the features they claimed were included in the Gold Plan but were not. I contacted customer service to get the answer that we need to upgrade to the Premium plan to have it. Such a liar. I was furious, of course. And then we checked Rivo, and their service is on the opposite side. They're supportive, friendly, and professional. They offered us a super good deal to go through this difficult time of E-commerce. We appreciate that. I also discover that Rivo even has two other apps, which are FREE and completely FREE. Check it out if you're a small business like us.

Abbie was amazingly patient as I explained what I did wrong and what I needed fixed. Because I was transitioning websites it made things challenging so in haste I deleted a page I shouldn't have. Abbie logged in and solved the problem in like 1 minute max. Best customer service and so happy I chose Rivo!

Great customer service, the product is easy to use. I only wish you could upgrade the free program to change branding on the widget. But, overall great experience and cool people!

so far so good, good chat support. why is there a minimum of 100 characters for a review thats so many characters

Jan. 12, 2023

Overall a great app, with terrific customer service. However limited integrations with other apps I use, and getting the functionality I needed, involved being upgraded to levels that were not affordable for me.

Great support, Pete was very helpful! Also the app itself is very easy to handle. Definitely recommend it.

The customer service was very good, the communication was very pleasant and the problem was solved very quickly. I really recommend it. I am a Chinese seller, and I really recommend you to use this.

Simply the finest example of knowledgable, polite, professional and technically savvy customer support. Rivo is the best in the business

We love it. Support is amazing. We are a little start up team with some coding knowledge. But they solved everything in minutes. Would suggest this app for everyone who knows how to upsell and build community. Thanks Rivo.

Had to increase the amount of customers for my reward program and Joel helped me through it. She also gave me a couple of tips how to help my website. She was patient and very helpful. Thank you Jel!

Arianne was a pleasure to work with! I needed help with resetting all the points back to zero after accidently back filling from the beginning of my store. She was prompt in helping reset all the points before I rolled out the program.

Jan. 7, 2023

By far, the most amazing experience in the first ten minutes of setting up the app. Jel helped me remove all of the Rivo branding and even Shopify branding on my site to improve my customer experience. The best part was, I didn't have to ask. Simply open the customer service chat and they will take care of you! :) THANKS RIVO!

MIND BLOWN! GREAT SERVICE! Hi I guess if you you actually get a full on programmer with your monthly service!? whoah! If any part of the design doesn't perfectly fit your layout, they'll be on it they will personally re-code and re-design just to fit your theme whether desktop or mobile. And they have the ability to make each different!!! Oh not to mention they updated a font to match my shop font! What to know before merging client history!!! This application offers quite a bit. I researched it extensively in comparison to four other major rewards apps. In reviewing all the apps, I focused on features pricing integration and ease-of-use for my particular store. Here are some things to consider. 1. If you wish that clients receive rewards for reviews, I believe Rivo Reviews App is the only compatible app. So if you currently have a review app that you absolutely love, consider whether or not this app is compatible. 2. Before on boarding past client history, consider how long your shop has been open. If you've been open for several years and this is your first rewards program, you could be importing thousands of dollars worth of coupons due clients. **work around is to not import client history, set everyone to an opening point value...and move forward. If you have a new shop with few sales, this shouldn't be an issue. Either way, I recommend asking for assistance with importing activity from a specific date if possible. HERE'STHE GOOD 1). If you hit a snafu, someone in their customer service or chat will assist you. More detailed issues may take a longer response time. Ultimately, if you have a very detailed issue you can see by the review process here, the operations officers are very responsive. 2) other than on boarding client information and points, this program is very easy to set up and customize. There are many areas available for customization, some features may require additional upgrades. For my needs the free plan was too limited, so I am currently on the $39 plan per month. I anticipate this rewards program will bring pay in repeat clientele. 3). You do have the ability to adjust what portion of a sale your client receives points for. I myself and I read and some reviews that some individuals noted the Point accrual included the cost of shipping. This can actually be adjusted in the settings, order, area of the app. So if you wish for clients to only earn points on the dollars that they spend on product this can be done. 4) If you don't already have an email marketing system or app, this application integrates some ability to reach out via email to prompt use of points and rewards. ***things id love to see enhanced 1) I'd love the ability to onboard and import from a specific date, ie, last quarter, last month, last year.... if this was an option to select, it would really help store owners who have years of sales in client history. 2) I'd also love the ability to select more than just the "collection" clients can use the rewards on, but the "product type" or "vendor" category within Shopify. Some stores like mine have products that overlap different collections, though are specific to a type of product i.e. handmade not handmade. 3) finally, I do notice some issues with the layout of the pop-up. When a client hits the icon from the lower right portion of the webpage to launch the welcome, the title at the top of that welcome is not centered and I don't see a way to justify left center or right. Additionally, the button that shows the star and reviews, is a bit big and it overlaps and interferes with my menu button on mobile. There is a possibility I can remove the word "rewards," leaving just the star icon and hope that that will clear the situation up? ill have to play with it. All in all if you were looking for a rewards app that enables you to work towards client retention repeat customers reward clients for referrals and signing on to your mailing list this is a great option. Again I read a lot of reviews, went to YouTube University to check out each of these competitor products, and read those reviews too. Rivo seemed to be the cleanest product with few issues conflicting with your current store theme and code. Customer service thus far seems to be very responsive, even if it requires escalating to a specialty department. The trial is really short, but so is the set up. Howeve, my biggest tip to you...Best to attempt to set up at the beginning of the week so you can iron out any bugs before your trial ends.

Customer service personnel Paul was extremely accommodating, quick response and delivered more than what I asked! I love the app, it gives additional incentive for people viewing the store to leave their email

The Rivo rewards & loyality program app is an excellent idea and will hopefully help keep bringing my customers back for more purchases. The Support for the app is also absolutely awesome! Abbie was so helpful and efficient in the way she helped me with a couple of technical things in my store. She also gave me some good suggestions too. Thank you very much, keep up the great work!!
