Smile: Loyalty Program Rewards

April 30, 2019

I like how the app connects to my online and pos system. It makes it easy for myself and the customers!

Kellen is the man. He helped me clarify on some questions I had to better help my customers. Thanks!

The app is great but unfortunately many of the app sections and email notifications are not customizable and my store is in spanish so I can't use it for my business. That was a big disappointment because I like all the features from the program. The day they allow you to customize a bit more I will turn my review into a 5 star one.

Smile is an excellent rewards program! Our brand has a loyal fanbase, and we've definitely seen our customers sign-up and take advantage of the rewards we're able to offer through it. We've enjoyed working with the Smile team, who all want to help us present the best possible Rewards experience to our customer.

worth it!! I absolutely love this app for creating a cute, not annoying pop-up perks program! It's also fully customizable, even with free!

This has been a beautiful app to work with in comparison to our previous rewards app. The service is exceptional as well. There are a few intuitive pieces I would like to adjust but it's very user-friendly

This is a great App for those who look for their customer's happy face as for Rewards and Perks. I've been searching many similar apps and decide to use Smile.io and I Smile now ^^

Mediocre so far, expensive and pushy to review them. 3/5, understand these take time to develop a user base but due to the pay-to-play monthly fee it will be an expensive bill before anything too substantial happens.

I really like the app, the design and the functionality so far. My only bug bear is the lack of a support for a physical gift / membership card. We desperately want to be able to give our VIP customers membership cards to make them feel special!

This app does exactly what you expect, which is a sign of quality these days. Keep up the good work!

Very easy to use and my customers love it! Installation was fast. Customization is a breeze to match my branding.

I've been with this app for a couple of years now, and our rewards program is one of the best programs we could ever offer our customers. Our customers enjoy leaving reviews, doing referrals, and making purchases to get the points, and Smile.io automates just about everything so it just runs smoothly without me thinking about it. I hit a snag with a review app integration recently, and Maggie was amazing, helping me figure out the issue. This is definitely the company you should go with for a loyalty program!

Wow it was really easy to use, customize and implement according to your business needs. Thumbs up and will recommend.

I love this app so far. I just set up my rewards program and it was pretty easy. I wish there was a to create specialized categories for rewards but that may only be available on the paid one. Not completely sure, but hopefully I'll have great once my customers begin signing up!

I think the jump from FREE to US$50 per month is too steep. I have 300 people on my program and the FREE version is very limited and causes confusion so I have to upgrade but its a huge price increase. If there was a US $30 pm option for up to 600 members it would be much easier to build slowly.

I've recently launched my business and have done A LOT of research on the different rewards programs available. I'm loving the Smile app and all of the features that it has to offer. The Customer Service has been outstanding; I've received speedy responses and the issues that I've had were resolved extremely quickly. I also really like that they offer an educational component which has helped me to set the program up to integrate on my Shopify site and will help with growing my business. Thanks for making me Smile!

Update: I gave it one star because I left a 5 star review for another app that costs 10x less a month and has far more functionality than smile.io does. I wish they made a loyalty app. There really is no excuse to charge companies predatory pricing for basic functions. We had previously given it two stars as it does collect points and integrates with the apps we require. We needed the API, so to get that functionality it is EXTREMELY expensive. We are paying $600 USD a month (I understand to get the API now it's worse - starting at $1000 USD a month). We'd switch to another tool in a heartbeat if it could sync with the apps we require. In this day and age, to 'firewall' integrations & API's is just not playing nice. I hate that it has a pop-up portal for the points. We already have a customer support one, so it is confusing for customers. The customer interface is also not nearly as customizable as you'd expect for the price. We should have full branding control at the price we pay. We should be able to control the portal & make it page, or embed it in the customer account page. I also wish the points were fully integrated into the checkout for single & recurring orders, with prompts and customization. For the ridiculous amount we are paying, you'd think it would. But no. We are paying for what should be a $59/month app. Customer support is ok. But again, for the price we are paying, I really expect to have live chat customer support available - not an email back in a day or two. Positive: It integrates nicely with reviews, our crm, subscriptions, VIP, etc. and it is very stable. All in all, it does work. If you have simple needs, it's probably a great tool. For us, we just feel stuck with it, it's far too much money, and we wouldn't recommend it.

I have installed the app on my store - it says it is live, but you don't see it on my store. I contacted support on Thursday in regards to this issue, but still haven't heard from anybody. If they do contact me - I will update this review - otherwise it will be deleted.

This app is amazing! Our customers LOVE being rewarded for their loyalty. I would highly recommend getting this app.

They waited half a year to tell me their integration with Shopify has broken and their hands are tied. Instead of offering to refund $1200 for the months the program hasn't worked-- they waisted my time, my teams time and embarrassed us to our customers. Ten years with Smile. I get as they say "our hands are tied" they cant fix it etc. but choosing to continue to take my money then one day start talking about this issue as if everyones been privy to it? WILD. Bold choice. Our business with smile ends today and as their integration is broken I do not recommend you begin using it in 2025.
