"Effortless Setup and Customization, Instantly On-Brand"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Smile.io?

Its plug and play nature. Very easy to get working and to configure. Also, it is user friendly when trying to make it look on brand. The support team is also really helpful in the deployment phase! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smile.io?

Its analytics suite isn't super accurate so we've needed to use our own Shopify Reports combined with some customer tagging to get to the truth of its impact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Strong loyalty platform that delivers on ROI"

4/5

What do you like best about Smile.io?

Smile.io provides a very smooth loyalty experience for our customers and gives us the tools we need to measure its impact. Since launch, we’ve seen higher customer retention and a noticeable increase in repeat orders. The Shopify integration is seamless, and their analytics dashboard gives us clear insight into which rewards and campaigns are working best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smile.io?

I’d like to see more built-in campaign templates for different seasons or sales events. It would make launching themed promotions even quicker. Other than that, the platform has been reliable and easy to maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smile.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Smile.io helps us increase customer retention by rewarding repeat purchases and referrals in a way that feels natural. Before using it, we had little engagement after the first order. Now, customers are more motivated to come back, redeem points, and refer friends. It’s a cost-effective way to build loyalty without relying solely on discounts.

"Great loyalty and rewards program."

5/5

"Effortless Shopify Integration and Social Media Growth"

5/5

What do you like best about Smile.io?

It easily integrates into Shopify and is a great way to both get more social media followers and give an incentive to buy more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smile.io?

Get a lot of spam for fake accounts that sign up for the program to generate coupon codes that aren't real people. We disabled the ability to get points for singing up for an account for that reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Moving Products, But Discount Code Delivery Needs Improvement"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Smile.io?

I like that smile allows me to add rewards on products, it helps me move my discontinued products and give customers incentives. However, I have noticed that most customers prefer to use a '$x off' reward instead of free gifts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smile.io?

We offer a 10% off first order discount. My customers ALWAYS email me to ask where their first discount code is. It would be helpful if the unique code could be coded into an email, or it was more obvious where the customers can find their discount. I find most customers don't open the little 'rewards' pop up. The option for a more customizable landing page may be more helpful with my demographic.

Overall, our loyalty program is not used as much as we hoped it would be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Rewards Program, But Pricey and Needs More Automation for In-Person Use"

3/5

What do you like best about Smile.io?

I do love the program and being able to offer points and rewards to our customers!

I like being able to customize and limit the rewards offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smile.io?

I dislike the price, to be honest. I've considered canceling it because every monthly bill counts for my small business.

I also wish it was more automated so I wasn't having to check in customers and enter their email address in order to use the rewards system. We are an in-person business and don't want to add customer info and email for every transaction when we are busy. I know Square rewards are linked to phone numbers, something like that would be easier for us, or if the customer could check themselves in without us having to do it.
