The website keeps crashing; making even small changes requires constant attempts because the website always crashing!

Not user-friendly at all. Unless you have a dev, out-of-the-box features don't work or are very glitchy. For example: - Referral link doesn't show on customer account main page, customer needs to go to "Profile" to see their link. - Loyalty landing page is an absolute mess out of the box, sections are misaligned, color customizations don't work, and there are padding issues. Unless you plan on doing custom CSS, it's not worth it. - Support doesn't help at all, tells you "You'll need custom CSS". Some of the CSS things they mentioned, I was able to fix with a shopify settings. If you ask for help, they mentioned that you'll need to upgrade to their $699 month plan to have them help. Terrible experience, would not recommend.

It’s very expensive and has no effect. I want to request a refund, but it’s not loading.

We are trialling this App, and basically it should have been a very smooth onboarding experience, given the glowing reviews, but it hasn't been anywhere close to that so far. Core functionalities such as earning settings to "Place an Order" are just invisible in the App. The support Docs guide you to Loyalty > Points, but no such thing exists in the app. The support Docs say VIP tiers should be enabled from the get go, but we can't see any of those tiers. We came to a conclusion that the support docs are not up to date and thus very unhelpful. The Branding tab throws a 500 error. The advertised 24/7 chat support is non-existent, since we haven't heard from them for over 7 hours. Overall a very poor onboarding experience for us.

So far the experience is not awesome. The app itself seems great, BUT, we migrated all of our data (including customers and old orders) over to the app and it’s included those in our usage. Note: none of the features on our app are yet enabled and I have zero usage on it for the last 90 days. I received a bill for nearly $500 over a week ago and still no refund. I received another bill today for $187 and zero response from support. I am not thrilled about this. Their response is sluggish, sometimes taking a couple of days to respond. I actually really want to use this app because it looks like it will do everything I want (and the reviews on it are excellent), however this first experience with it has left me with little trust that I will get the support I need. EDIT July 31: I received a response immediately and a refund. HOWEVER I have received two more bills from Rivo for "usage fees" and my Rivo app is not even active. There are now nearly $400 more in charges on my account and I'm not using this app. I have emailed twice again with no response. Sadly as much as I want to use this app, I feel like something really hinky is going on and I do not trust Rivo. Once I am refunded I will be uninstalling and searching elsewhere. Super bummed because there are so many awesome reviews here.
Hey there, Stuart here; Founder & CEO at Rivo. So sorry to hear about the billing issues happening. We'll get a full refund issued to you asap. Cheers Stuart

We installed Rivo for a couple of months to test it in the background. After testing, and leaving a good review, we carefully allocated historical loyalty point to our 23,000 customers and then launched our loyalty scheme. On the same day Rivo's connection to Klaviyo failed to send updated points balances and that evening without warning Rivo set the points balance of every single one of our customers, including those who had purchase on that day, to zero. The help desk promises a reply counted in hours but we are now on day 3 after reporting these issues and every day we get thanked for our patience and told to wait for an update from the development team. If we had not invested so much time configuring this app I would de-install it immediately.
Thrilled to hear you loved our support! We’re dedicated to guiding you through every step, even the tricky ones. Thanks for the kind words and recommendation! - Kevin & Rivo Team

We just tried to trial this product for our new website however we experienced some very deceptive and conduct through the sales funnel. It did not give us the option to select the free plan or trial at all (only a discount of the available paid offers), and tried to gain access to our website before even selecting what plan we would like. Funnily enough the free plan or free trial was not even an option. This is disgusting and misleading behaviour, and needless to say we will not be considering Rivo products again in future. Do better Rivo.
Hi there! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I want to clarify that we do offer both a free plan and trial days, and I sincerely apologize for any confusion or frustration you experienced during the installation process. I’ve reached out to you via email to provide additional assistance and ensure you have access to the options that best suit your store's need. We look forward hearing back from you. Best regards, Lea

Rivo leaves a bunch of installed items and applications on the site once uninstalled. This is unacceptable !
Hi there, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. It appears you’ve already uninstalled, but we’ve reached out via email to offer additional assistance and ensure any remaining issues addressed. Please don’t hesitate to let us know how we can further support you. Best regards, Lea

I understand that Jel, one of the customer service agents, may have been having a bad day, but that day turned into a significant issue for me. This all started when I accidentally deleted Rivo's landing page while cleaning out my Pages, which broke the connection between the Rivo platform and my shop. I reached out to customer service for documentation on how to fix it and included two screenshots to illustrate the issue. I also mentioned in passing that I wanted to remove a broken footer on the landing page I had left. Unfortunately, Jel misunderstood or overlooked the 404 error screenshots and instead focused solely on the footer. She asked for access to my store and "fixed" the footer the way she thought it should be. The problem? In doing so, she unintentionally broke all the footers across my entire site. I revoked her access and followed up to inform her of the issue—not looking for a resolution, as I could fix it myself, but simply to let her know about the mistake. I also mentioned that her access had been revoked. She quickly responded, claiming the problem had been fixed and asking me to check. This response was frustrating because it was both inaccurate and misleading. The issue was still unresolved, and even if she had attempted a fix within seconds, it couldn’t have saved without access to my store. I clarified multiple times that I had already revoked access and was not comfortable granting it again due to the risk of further mistakes. As someone only a few hours into using Rivo, I really hope things improve from here. However, this combination of platform issues and a frustrating customer service experience has raised some red flags.
Hey Karen, I'm sorry for any confusion here and I'm happy we were able to resolve things over email. I hope your experience with Rivo going forward works out better! Thank you and chat with you soon. Cheers,

*Edited* Whatever updates have been made and messed up everything and been a MAJOR source of frustration. I have been on chat with support countless times, they gain collaborator access to "fix" the issue, it doesn't get fixed. My clients are still bombarding me with messages asking why they can't redeem their points and I'm seriously fed up. Do not recommend at all. It WAS working fine... It's awful now. Our clients have really enjoyed earning rewards when shopping with us. Arianne was very helpful when I reached out to inquire about why some accounts were not earning their points and it was very quickly fixed! I was very impressed with their quick response and helping me change my settings. Highly Recommend
Awesome! Thank you for sharing your experience. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to help anytime. Thanks for recommending us! 😊 - Kevin & Rivo Team

it’s not logical for your app to get paid for orders that I have generated myself. I run ads > get customer orders > in this case, what benefit does your app provide to justify being paid?
Hey there, I'm sorry for any confusion here on the pricing side. I reached out over email to help make things right. Hoping we can connect, please feel free to get in touch at [email protected]. Cheers, James

Originally gave a 5 star review because it was easy to set up only to find out that it really does not work. My customers cannot redeem their points and I am told "Redeeming points at checkout is only available in Shopify Plus plan merch which is $2300 a month. Plus if you modify the benefits of a VIP tier, the modifications do not update for existing members but only for new members. I was told to delete the benefit and add a new one but that still did not work. Such a waste of time. What is the purpose of a loyalty program if the customers cannot get any benefits. Now I want to download my customers with points so that I can add their points to a different program but there does not appear to be any download capabilities or print reports. Stay away. Over an hour on a chat with Jel and the results are that I am completely screwed.

I am probably to stupid to start this app, but I was totally annoyed by the ongoing efforts of the company to upsell me to one of their pay programs. Too many pop-ups for my liking. Too many interruptions while trying to setting it up for a first trial. Again, likely I am partly to be blamed, but I consider myself somewhat experienced with such apps.
Hi there, So sorry to hear about your experience. We do have a free plan for smaller shops doing 200 orders or less each month. We’d also be happy to extend your trial period to give you more time to get everything set up. I reached out through email to offer additional support and help you in setting up the app. We’re here to assist and ensure you have a smooth experience with our app. Looking forward hearing back from you. Cheers, Lea

Listed under the available rewards you can offer was "Commission"; that reward was not available (at least in the free version).
Hi Brian, I'm sorry for your experience so far using the app. We store credit as a referral reward – which essentially acts as a commission for referring friends, as you can earn credit for every friend you refer. I'm more than happy to set up a referral campaign and the app to function this way for you. I updated our app listing to reflect a more accurate representation of that. I reached out over email there to help make things right. Cheers, James

Says free plan available - this is no free plan. It s a trial. After that it's $24 a month.
Hey Karen M Designs team! Thank you so much for your feedback. We have a free plan that's available for smaller shops that do 200 orders a month or less. Otherwise we have affordable plans that start at $24 a month (most features). Happy to offer a longer trial to make it work for you, or work out a longer term price. Let me know your thoughts and feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. Cheers, James

Makes it impossible to cancel once you subscribe. I've asked them to cancel this subscription for the past month now and I'm still getting charged. Ridiculous business practice. Better options out there.
Hi Henry, This is Lea from Rivo. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Upon review, I noticed that your last email was sent a year ago. We reached out to offer an extension to your trial period but did not receive a response from you. Please note that we do not have the capability to cancel or extend subscriptions within our app. We understand that this falls short of the excellent experience we strive to provide, and we are committed to resolving this issue promptly. We aim to provide the best experience for all our customers. We want to make things right for you. I've sent you an email to offer additional assistance. You can reach me at [email protected] anytime. Looking forward hearing back from you. Best Regards, Lea

Installed this, found it didn't do what I wanted so uninstalled it - fair enough. However uninstalling the app still leaves code with a link to the Rivo website - and that seems like something I'd have wanted to be asked about ba_loy_init.js?v=1705089578:16 Developer friendly loyalty - powered by Rivo. ba_loy_init.js?v=1705089578:16 - Increased repurchase rates - Increased LTV - Fully customizable Hit us up at: https://www.rivo.io/developers
Hi Joy! This is Lea from Rivo. I'd like to apologize for your experience with the app. We've sent you an email to reach out and get to the bottom of this problem for you. Please feel free to contact me back anytime: [email protected] Cheers, Lea
