"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.

Response from Karen Fuser of Smile.io

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're thrilled to hear that Smile.io has been helping you move your discontinued products and provide incentives to your customers.

"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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Karen Fuser of Smile.io

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the rewards program and the customization options.

"A Fun and Effective Way to Build Customer Loyalty"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Smile.io?

It gives my customers something exciting to “work” toward, turning the shopping experience into something far more rewarding and fun. The points system and rewards integration keep customers coming back, and it’s become an engaging part of my store’s daily operations. I use it every day for our Wintek Rewards program, and it’s a seamless way to build loyalty while adding value to every purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smile.io?

There are no real downsides, but some customers may need a little guidance at first to fully understand how to earn and redeem rewards. Once they get it, though, they absolutely love the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Karen Fuser of Smile.io

Hi Daniel,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this review. Great to hear your customers are returning to make repeat purchases and you are seeing a lot of benefit from Smile. If you need anything please drop us a line at help@smile.io

"A Must-Have for Boosting Customer Loyalty in Fashion"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Smile.io?

We've been using smile for about 6 years, and once it's set up it just does it's thing. As a women's fashion retailer, building a loyal community is key. Smile.io has been fantastic for this. It was incredibly easy to integrate with our store and customise the rewards program to match our brand's look and feel. Our repeat purchase rate has seen a noticeable increase since we launched our VIP program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smile.io?

If I had to pick something, some of the more advanced customisation options for the pop-up widget are a bit limited on our current plan. It would be great to have more creative control (eg the size of the launcher bubble) without needing to upgrade, but it's a minor issue for us. Also the time zone setting seems to only be for the US and we are in NZ so some of the notifications go out at weird times, especially the points expiry emails. We have adjusted them to go out 3 days in advance of expiry to get around this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Karen Fuser of Smile.io
