What do you like best about Smile.io?

Setting up Smile.io on my website was incredibly straightforward and easy. I was able to install and integrate it right away, allowing me to start promoting the rewards program to my customers. The support team has been very friendly and helpful throughout the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smile.io?

I haven’t encountered anything I dislike so far. My only minor critique is that manually importing customer points can be a bit tedious. Aside from that, everything has been smooth and easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about Smile.io?

Smile.io is the best customer loyalty program that we could find. It has more features for the cost than any of its competitors. It was easy to set up. It was easy to import the names of our customers from a previous loyalty program. It looks great on our website and integrates well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Starter Package for Small Business"
5/5
What do you like best about Smile.io?

Being a very small business; I am the owner and my only employee, I appreciate that the Starter plan is at a reasonable price and offers the important feature. Most app developers offer the very, very, basic features at their base level plans. So little, that it is basically pointless. But Smile.io's Starter plan allows me to actually get a start and offers an opportunity to grow my business, with my very small budget. Also, the customer service was very helpful, and the rep even check back with me a couple of days later. Then checked back again, because I missed their email and took a few days to response! They wanted to make sure I was all set to get starter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smile.io?

I am just getting started with the program and do not have a lot of feedback at the moment. So far, so good! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Karen Fuser of Smile.io

"Quick responses to help requests & improved customer loyalty for the win. Thanks Smile!"
4/5
What do you like best about Smile.io?

Whenever we've reached out for assistance their response time is lightening fast and always helpful and to the point. Our customers love saving money off their baby gear purchases, while also supporting a local mom & pop shop in Canada. We use our Smile Rewards customer loyalty program to generate repeat business and help customers make the choice to buy their baby & parenting products from us versus a competitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smile.io?

I would love if it were easier to sync the removal of the entire Sale collection or promo products from accruing rewards points. Having to add the products manually one by one (not as a collection or group of products/variants) is time consuming. It's great that you can now exclude products, but it is cumbersome and easy to forget to add them to exclusion or remove them after promotional pricing ends. It would also be super helpful if it were quick to assign points between friends and family members, especially in our case where people are buying for baby or gift registries and want the points transferred to their recipients.

"Effortless Loyalty and Clean Design, But Pricing Could Improve"
5/5
What do you like best about Smile.io?

Smile.io makes loyalty effortless. The widget looks on-brand out of the box. The admin is clean, and the rules are flexible without being overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smile.io?

My only real gripe is price. It’s a strong product, but the cost climbs quickly as usage grows. I’d love more flexible tiers for smaller teams or seasonal businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Karen Fuser of Smile.io

Hi Chithar,

"User-Friendly UX Makes Loyalty Programs Accessible for All"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Smile.io?

Smile's UX is very user-friendly. They've done atremendous job of making loyalty programmes very accessible to brands without in-house development capabilities. We set up our programme in less than a day. The support team was always responsive when we got stuck.

The loyalty tiers is a really nice feature that we will look to explore next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smile.io?

The only downside with Smile for us is it's integration with Attentive isn't as good as the Klaviyo integration. So if there was one thing I'd request the team to look at, it'd be improving that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Karen Fuser of Smile.io

Hi there,

We're thrilled to hear that you found Smile.io's UX to be user-friendly and that our support team was responsive in helping you set up your loyalty program.

"Smile.io is a familiar face in the e-commerce space but too pricey for some of the better plans"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Smile.io?

Smile.io makes creating a rewards program easy, accessible, and familiar. Many customers are familiar with the platform and the types of programs available because many companies use Smile.io in the online retail space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smile.io?

The starter plan only allows one integration, which is not enough for using what Smile.io is good for. The next tiers aren't very accessible to small businesses starting out their rewards programs. It would be nice to have a commission based tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sarah Facini of Smile.io

Hi Aidan!

I love to hear that you have found that your customers were already familiar with Smile given our presence in the online retail space. We've been doing this for a long time (2012 if we wanted to get to the very beginning), so it means a lot when we hear feedback that it just works, and your customers already know how it worked. We are big believers that running a loyalty program should be as effortless as possible so that it can work for brands of all sizes.

I appreciate the feedback around the number of integrations, and I wanted to let you know that the current plans we offer do reflect the feedback we've received around the number of integrations and accessibility of features to smaller merchants. Take a peek and let me know what you think. If you'd like to continue the conversation, our team is on around the clock and can be reached at help@smile.io if you'd like to discuss the integrations you need.
