2024 Edit : I would not recommend this app to anyone. Rontar used to be really good with their google retargeting, it looks like now they have removed that option. Good app for google retargeting, Ive been using this for 2 years with no issue, recently Rontar has double and tripled charge me.... twice.... My limit is $70 recharge when im low, the first time they charged me double $140, I contacted them and they said it was an error and issued a refund. This time I was triple charge $210. This point I may completely stop using rontar and since they always overcharge my account for no reason, the only explanation i got they said it was an error..... I have overall spent $3000 on their service and this is unacceptable.

Hi, Thanks for your review and for being a customer of ours for such a long time. Our technical team has taken a deeper look into the issue and found the problem. When it’s time to top up an account, we notify our billing gateway to charge your payment method on file. Normally the entire process is instant, however, it may take the payment gateway a few hours to charge the payment method in extremely rare cases. As a result, this caused our billing system to send more than one billing request to the payment gateway. The issue has been fixed now. We’ve implemented a check on our side to ensure this never happens again. Your account manager has also been notified of the issue and will be in touch with you shortly.

UPDATE: I see the app has changed its business model and is no longer doing retargeting. It's now an ad exchange, with an option to pay to show ads instead of installing ads on your own site. So I uploaded an an and set a budget of $5/day, but the ad has not spent anything. No idea what's happening or if this app is functional. ---- It works. Assuming your store actually has visitors to retarget, this works and is simple to use. However, I have not gotten a response to any of my messages to Rontar at all -- not emails, not message sent through the app itself. Zero support. Hence the 4 stars. Thanks for your review and for using our app. We received the only email from you on Sunday, September 4th. We reviewed your campaign statistics and settings and sent you our response with a clarifying question today, on September 5th. We look forward to receiving your reply in order to assist you with your inquiry.

Not a very good app. It places random ads on your website, so it looks very weird. Can't recommend this bad app. It messes up your theme.

We added this app 2 or 3 years ago, essentially to compare it against Adroll. Then we essentially ignored it since it didn't seem to do anything meaningful but then..... Going through some analytic data points, we noticed some "instability issues" that confused us, since it suggested that there was "ad space" on our website. Turned out that on the very bottom of each page, the app had placed a banner and was running ads from other retailers and brands, suggesting that "you might also like". So FYI, you might find ads on your website that literally pulls people away.... Hello, thanks for your feedback. Recently, we have implemented changes to our Free plan. Now to promote their ads in other stores for free, users need to publish other stores' ads on their websites in return. This is how our Free plan works. Over the last month, we have sent 3 email notifications to all free plan users, the last was sent on Thursday. Probably you have missed it. The ads are posted at the very bottom of product pages and do not harm reputation and pull away people that are really interested in your products. Also, if you want to turn this off, you can do this on the Publisher page. In this case, it's natural, that your products will not be advertised as well. Please, if you need any assistance, reach out to our support. We're always ready to help. Apologies for the inconvenience.

The app posted ads all over the website without notifying! When I wanted to turn these off, the app said that I need to switch to paid plan to turn these ads off..

Saw my own ad today on a webpage after using this for more than a year. My ad had a broken header so it wasn't showing my logo, it was showing old product images from longer than 8 months ago which were removed from the shop way back then when the new ones were put in. They had no idea something was wrong. I'm guessing all their customers are probably affected. I've spent around $1,966 on advertising through them which I reckon I just wasted. They offered me a $25 credit as the remedy for 8 months of showing old product images that weren't converting instead of the new ones I'd evolved massively. Are you joking? Shopify what the hell I expect a certain standard in here. Thank you for your review and being our customer for such a long time. We would like to assure you that we continuously update product information, which is shown on the ads, but product pictures are updated not more often than once a month. Such configurations are set on purpose in order not to overload customers' servers. It is necessary to mention that you periodically suspend your campaign and then restart it in a while. In fact, you were running your retargeting at the beginning of the year and then made a pause. After that, your campaign was restarted in June. Therefore, your pictures have not been updated yet as your campaign was activated after our latest update of the pictures. Based on the above-mentioned information, we confirm that your campaign was running with the part of outdated pictures for just one month. We understand that this could influence the conversions but according to your statistics the number of clicks was not lower than usual. For now, all your pictures are updated. It was made as soon as we received your request. We truly regret that you were not satisfied with our services during last month, but we hope that you will accept our bonus offer and keep cooperating with us.

Dear Shopify business website owner/developer, They've got a bunch of great reviews that convinced us to sign up and give them our trust and money. Hopefully your experience will be better than ours was if you go ahead and install this app. Because our experience was pretty poor. And if we'd have been paying more than $5 per day I have to believe we'd have caught that poor performance and shut off the app and service many months before today. Your mileage may vary if you go ahead with this app. All we can say is take a look at our website and decide for yourself if we look like newbies who don't know a thing about marketing and are griping about something that's our fault. According to the retargeting solution's own stats, here are our results after 8 months of paying "Rontar" / "Dynamic Reargeting Ads" / WFP.ADVERTISING : * 124,000 impressions * 137 clicks (0.11%) * 1495.14 ad spend or paid Rontar ($10.92 CPC) * 675.75 Rontar-influenced revenue attributed Not exactly a home run, considering retargeting is billed as the lowest-hanging fruit and best return on investment for digital ads-- and this company claims to be an expert in doing so. After all, we can buy cold interested visitors for 15% of that CPC spend, with 20x the CTR and actually convert them to sales at a positive return. Here are the promises we were made before signing up: 1) Our retargeting ads would be seen on Youtube, Gmail, WashingtonPost, NYTimes, ESPN, Fox News, Weather.com Result: Fail. Not a single employee has seen ads on those sites. Nor to our knowledge have we received any referral visitors from those sites. 2) Average ROI of our 1000+ Shopify customers is average is 450% Result: Fail. Our ROI has been severely negative. Even if were we selling products that had no cost of goods cost, we'd still have lost money paying Rontar and whomever they allegedly paid to place ads on our behalf. 3) We told Rontar how many visitors we got to our website and our revenue, and said we wanted to spend 4% of our daily sales as a retargeting budget (estimated $16). Rontar said no problem. Result: Fail. We instead spent $5 per day every day, and most days had zero clicks. We asked why we weren't spending the requested budget, and were told we didn't have enough traffic to our website. 4) We confirmed cost per thousand impressions was expected to be affordable/competitive before signing up. Result: Fail. $10.90 per click and $12 per thousand impressions isn't efficient ad spend for a warm audience. 5) There are some basic ad customizations you can do yourself / our algorithms give our customers much more control over the customization of their creatives Result: Fail. Until long after signup, we did not have any way we could find to preview what the creatives looked like-- much less edit anything. Until we discovered a new "look and feel" tab in the app's settings that may not have been there when we originally signed up (or at the least didn't render an ad preview on our web browser as it did when checked today), we have had no idea what the ads look like they're supposedly running on our behalf. Repeated questions about this steered us back to the Shopify app-- in which until long after signing up and paying many months we were unable to find any preview. 6) We usually manage to increase an online store's sales by up to 10% Result: Fail. According to Rontar's own stats, they take credit for fewer than 1% of our sales 7) You should try out Drip Retargeting. It is a completely new approach to retargeting that helps move your visitors closer to the purchase by engaging them with different ads through their sales cycle. This approach was only available before in email marketing, now is possible in our advertising platform. Result: Uncertain. We can't even verify actual ads were shown, much less of some innovative type. 8) With your search traffic percentage it looks like you will have a significant CTR percentage from Rontar ads. Result: Uncertain. Is 132 clicks from 124,000 impressions over 8 months considered "significant"? If so, I'm pretty sure we are in the wrong business because any digital ads we've run ourselves have 10-30x better click-thru rates. 9) You should increase your frequency capping to 7 from 5 (many months after signup) Result: Uncertain. We thought we had already had a frequency capping of 15 impressions per person per month from the time when we signed up. Apparently it was arbitrarily set at 5, ignoring our signup instructions. 10) You can exclude products you don't want to show. Result: Uncertain. We provided a list of those products. And they may have been excluded from showing in ads. We don't know. As stated before, we never saw any live ads. But the PREVIEW of ads we saw today in the app was definitely showing items we had requested to be excluded. Summary: I don't want this to be flagged as defamatory. So I've tried to stick to just the facts. All 10 of these promises the app/company Rontar/WFP.Advertising/Dynamic Retargeting Ads did not deliver on are in emails to our company from their representatives or else on sales pages / app description of the company itself. Personally, I've never seen ONE ad supposedly shown by Rontar. Nowhere on the web-- nor on ANY of the websites they claimed to have been doing retargeting ads on. Nor has anyone on our employment team. That's despite the fact that our team spends a large part of our week on our own website and also browsing other sites afterwards like any consumer...and our company was paying Rontar for many months to serve ads on websites and online applications where some of our team members are regularly hanging out. Yet the app itself claims to have served ads. If they're promising to run ads and not doing so, I feel this company probably would have been outed from the Shopify app store a long time ago. So I must accept that isn't the case. I must accept it to be true that they are serving ads. Therefore, I won't say that the stats they provide in the app are bogus. I must accept that ads were served 124,000 impressions and clicked on 132 times over 8 months-- even though I cannot independently verify these claims from other sources (Shopify, Elevar, Google Analytics). Perhaps the data is there for us to independently confirm ads were actually served and clicked on...and I don't know how to find it. If so, I'll revise this review to say so. Even so, I must conclude they've done what we hired them to do very poorly in our case. Here are 3 things I can say for sure that Rontar does: 1) Whack our card every 7 days for more money 2) Send us an email receipt 3) Respond super-quickly to most customer emails I'm just sorry that the "respond super quickly to emails" fooled us for more than 4 months that this was a business we could trust to help its customers grow their business. After all, it makes you wonder when multi-month customers are reduced to asking simple questions like: "Presumably we have some sort of log-in to your website as a dashboard with analytics--- but no one here can find it. And though we were promised someone would look over our account and keep us informed about what we should do to increase things...unfortunately I don't really show any email communication from your company in the last 4 months (other than payment notifications). We'd like to have some idea of what we're getting for our money. And if it's worth anything, how we can be spending more with a good return." (The answer eventually turned out to be that the app name had changed from Rontar to "Dynamic Retargeting Ads" though a bit confusingly, we were still getting billed by another party (WFP.Advertising) and emailed by the original party we hired (Rontar). In the last couple months, we can find in our inboxes a couple times we asked a question and received no response at all. Questions like: "Hey it's been awhile since we could figure out how to log in to Rontar and see what's what. Shopify doesn't even have a Rontar app. What's going on?" Or "What are you doing for the money we are paying? How is the retargeting going? Can you help me take a look at it?" Still, nothing will upset a customer on a recurring charge more than 2-3 charges of "new services" while questions go unasked from 2-3 payments ago. And we've suffered that now enough times that we're saying enough is enough. We're uninstalling this app and providing three stars. And I took an hour and a half today to give my honest feedback here about this app and this company-- in hopes to save other Shopify owners a possible headache. To be fair, our company has seen similar non-results with these other automated ad-generating solutions, too. * Abaco * Poln * CommerceCentral * Shoelace Though we got great results from YahooCommerce/ Lexity before I guess they were closed down years back. After what seems to have been our 6th waste of money with an automated remarketing solution (Rontar), I'm beginning to think we were wrong to think dynamic retargeting could work for our business. But I don't really want to believe that. The model can and should work. After all, these are warm prospects and we ought to be able to compete in the ad netwrorks for their attention and make good on the "retargeting is among the best ROIs in all digital avertising" promise. Our remarketing efforts via email (Klaviyo) work fine. So hopefully the 7th time is the charm! If any digital ads service provider reads this and wants to collaborate to run our remarketing for CubicZirconia.com and our other jewelry brands, we'll probably sign up and give it a try. And we'll be just as effusive in our praise if your solution is worth it as we have been in speaking honestly-- but less than glowingly-- about the companies and apps who made big promises and didn't back them up. Hi, Thank you for the detailed review of your experience using our app. We were pleased to work with you, and our team truly regrets that your retargeting campaign's performance did not meet your initial expectations. In response to your review, we would like to underline that the bidding model is quite complicated. The ads are displayed on those websites and ad places which are the most cost-effective and optimal according to the campaign's settings. The number of impressions is verified with Google so you can be sure that all impressions were shown to your visitors. Let us explain how retargeting with Rontar works: people visit your website, review products and then see the ads containing the same products they reviewed in your webstore on other websites. All products are taken from your website's product feed. Additionally, we would like to note that all settings in the account are divided into 3 groups (general, advanced, look and feel). These settings can be reviewed and changed by the Customer any time. As we operate internationally, we receive payments via a payment processor. Thus, when you see transactions to WFP.Advertising, it means that you are charged for Rontar's advertising services via the WayForPay payment processor. To sum up, we would like to clarify that all retargeting providers work in a similar way. Your Account Manager tried different combinations of settings for your campaign but unfortunately it did not bring the results needed. Thus, if this is not your first try to use such a kind of ads from six different providers but all attempts were not successful, we would recommend you to select other tools to promote and sell your products. We always try to keep long-term relations with our customers and find the best solution for them. But, unfortunately, in this case the retargeting campaign did not appear to be as effective as we all expected. Anyway, we hope you will find an efficient tool to develop your business.

Lack of functionality - you can't see how your budget is spent, from who and where your ad was seen , which ad was delivered. Also super expensive - 3-4 clicks for $50-$60 invested. Hi, Thanks for your review and for using our app. Let me clarify a few things on using our app: 1. Your campaign is still in the learning mode, during which you may often see higher CPCs and lower conversion rates. Once the campaign is out of the learning mode, your CPCs will decrease. 2. Another reason for the higher CPCs than normal is your campaign settings. By default, your bid strategy is set to Auto, which means that we will try to get as many clicks/impressions as possible within your budget, which is $5 a day at the moment. This may sometimes result in a CPC higher than the average because your ads start showing on premium websites/ad placements. If you would like to manually limit the CPCs, you can switch to the “Target CPC” bid strategy in the app and enter the maximum CPC you’re willing to pay per click. Bear in mind though, this may severely limit the number of impressions/clicks you’re getting. 3. As for where we show you ads. We show your ads on the websites your visitors go to. To do that, we partner with different ad networks, including the Google network. Unfortunately, most of our partners don’t share the URLs with us. Even if they did, this information would be of no use to you. Our bidding algorithms determine where and when to show your ads, which is much more efficient than trying to exclude the non-converting sites that some ad networks allow on your own. Hope this helps.

Hi, Thanks for your review and for using our app. Our Free Forever plan was created specifically for newer stores that are just starting out and have around 30-50 visitors daily or even fewer. For newer stores, the monthly 1,000 ad impressions available under the Free Forever plan is more than enough to leverage retargeting to its full potential. For the same reason, some of the settings are not available in your account because they simply make no sense and will not work if you only have a few dozen visitors daily. However, if you have 100+ visitors daily or even more, it makes sense to consider switching to the paid plan. Under the Pay-as-you-go plan, you will only be limited by the number of visitors you have daily to your website and the daily budget you set in your account. You will also be able to adjust different campaign settings that are not available under the Free Forever plan to improve your ROI, if that’s what you need. Hope this helps. Please reach out to our support team if you need help adjusting your campaign settings or have questions about whether our paid plan makes sense for your website.

Was really expecting to see some good results from this app, but it's turned out to be a terrible ROI, just 2 clicks (which didn't lead to conversions) from £50 spent - something is wrong somewhere. Also not pleased that after taking my initial £25, they took another £30 off me even though there was enough left in my account. Pulled the plug before I lose any more money.

Hi, thanks for your review and for using our app. Let me clarify a few things on using our app: 1. Your campaign is still in the learning mode, during which you may often see higher CPCs and lower conversion rates. Once the campaign is out of the learning mode, your CPCs will decrease. This is exactly what you might see when starting Facebook campaigns. 2. Another reason for the higher CPCs than normal is your campaign settings. By default, your bid strategy is set to Auto, which means that we will try to get as many clicks/impressions as possible within your budget, which is $5 a day at the moment. This may sometimes result in a CPC higher than the average because your ads start showing on premium websites/ad placements.

Bear in mind though, this may severely limit the number of impressions/clicks you’re getting. 3. As for the number of conversions, so far you’ve had just two clicks, which is too few to see a conversion. It usually takes at least a few dozen to see one. 4. When you sign up for the Pay-as-you-go plan, we bill you $25 initially and then every time the advertising balance gets low, in accordance with your daily budget settings, and to cover the amount due in the upcoming 3-4 days. You can see this explained in detail on our Billing page in the app. Hope this helps. Please reach out to our support team if you have any questions or need assistance with your campaign settings. We’d be happy to help.

Developer reply ·

Hi, Thanks for using our retargeting app. Here are a few comments regarding how we work and your support inquiry: 1. Since Rontar is a retargeting company, we show your past visitors only the products they were previously interested in. That way, we make sure you have a high ROI, and your ad cost is kept to a minimum. That is how retargeting works in general, not just with us. 2. As our support agent pointed out, the ad in your account is just a preview. Your actual past visitors will see the exact products they were interested in. 3. It's not possible to advertise with us if you have adult-related content on your website. The partners we work with have strict policies in that regard. Hope this helps.

Hello, As we can see you used the Safari browser to access the app. Our app is an embedded Shopify app following the best Shopify practices, so it requires 3rd party cookies to be enabled. Unfortunately, Safari doesn't allow this by default. Probably, later you used another browser to install the app. Then you added your payment method which we have charged. If that is not what you were expecting, please reach our support team and we will refund the full amount.

Hi, thanks for your review and for using our app. I just want to say that’s the number of impressions you’ve seen so far is very low and it’s very early to tell whether it will work for you or not. Also, please note that Rontar is a retargeting app, which means that we show ads to your past visitors only. If you have very few visitors from other sources, retargeting may not be able to give you more impressions than you’re getting currently.

We spent $70 with Rontar and received 1 click. Obviously not the ROI we were looking for compared to their claims. They will not refund us and we're suspending this app.

Developer reply ·

Hi, thanks for your review and for using our app. I took a closer look at your campaign and would like to make a few comments: 1. Rontar is a retargeting app, which means that we show ads to your past visitors only. Retargeting works best if the quality of your initial traffic is high. If the quality of the traffic is very low, retargeting might not work at all. 2. If you see that your retargeting campaign is not yielding the results you were expecting, you might want to limit your target cost per click/impressions. For example, you could explicitly set your target CPC to $1. Bear in mind though, this may severely limit the number of impressions you’re getting. 3. We have already refunded the not yet spent balance on your account. We don’t refund funds already spent on advertising. This is clearly stated in our Refund Policy: https://help.rontar.com/rontar/en/articles/3124947-refund-policy Hope this helps.

This app was incredibly easy to installed and within a couple of days I was getting impressions. That said, my industry is super specialized and it hasn't resulted in clicks, but I think that says more about my industry than the app. I think for a more mainstream product line this would be a sure fire winner!

2000 impressions over a 30 day period and not 1 click back to the site. Have to wonder where the ads are being shown and to who? I would expect at least one or two click backs. I can appreciate not getting any sales, but to not get any visitors makes me wonder the effectiveness of this platform for my business. Free is good, but 0% of 0 is still 0 :)

Hi, I’m sorry you didn’t get the results you expected from using our app. I took a look at your campaign and see that you did receive about 2,000 ad impressions but no clicks. While it’s unusual to see such a low CTR, it’s too early to tell whether the campaign is effective or not due to the very low overall number of impressions. Sometimes you get 2,000 impressions and no clicks/sales, then you see 5-10 clicks and a few sales with the next 2,000 ad impressions. This is how it usually works. We have a customer that had a similar situation to yours. They had almost 4,000 ad impressions and just 2 clicks (which is low), but the situation changed completely with bigger numbers: https://blog.rontar.com/upgrading-from-the-free-forever-to-starter-plan Another reason could be the quality of inbound traffic. If the quality is low then retargeting will drive poor results as well. We don’t have access to this data so I can’t comment with 100% certainty on this. Hope this helps.

Hola, gracias por tu evaluación y por utilizar nuestra aplicación. Tenemos que reunir al menos 100 usuarios antes de poder comenzar a hacer más impresiones para su tienda. Desde que instaló la aplicación ayer, no hemos podido reunir ese número hasta ahora. Permítalo al menos 2-3 días antes de que pueda comenzar a ver más datos de impresiones en su panel.

I used this app to try and increase sales, after 1 week I have had 93 impressions and 0 clicks. No sales from Rontar as yet, hoping that this will improve over the next week.

Developer reply ·

Hi, thanks for your review and for using our app. Since Rontar is a retargeting app, we show ads to your past visitors only. This means that you should already have some traffic to your website in order for it to work. Based on the data we have, with retargeting it’s possible to add up to 15% in conversions to what you already have from other traffic sources. So if you have just 3-5 orders a week, it’s difficult to expect retargeting to triple that number. Hope this helps. Please reach out to our Customer Care if you have additional questions regarding our app or your campaign specifically.

We've been trialling the free retargeting plan for about a week. Hard to tell if its a coincidence, but had our best week ever, and around 30% increase in visitors. We're definitely getting good referrals coming through, and keen to see how it continues to perform over the coming weeks. We would prefer a snazzier looking ad, but it's working. So far, we're impressed, and it's free!

BE AWARE, TOTAL SCAM !!!!!!!!! very Disappointing in any sense , the worst was that they CHARGE for CLICKS not for Sales as they write in their policy they just Suck your Budget of 100$ that they initially requested NOT even one SALE what i can say, i have even make an OFFICIAL COMPLAINT on Shopify Support ! my Shop : www.eugfashion.com

Developer reply ·

Hi there, I’m very sorry you haven't seen results from using our app. But I would like to give a detailed answer to your review: 1. We bill per click/impression, not per sale. This is clearly stated here: https://help.rontar.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002831574-How-does-Rontar-charge-my-account- 2. We did bill you $100 initially, but you spent only $55.81 of it. The rest was refunded to you upon your request. 3. You spent just $55.81 on retargeting, which may not always be enough to see sales. Sometimes you may spend $50 and see no sales, then you see 2 or 3 sales with the next $50 spent on ads. This is how it usually works. If you ever decide to give our app a try again, we have a free plan now that you can use.

App is faulty. The math on it is consistently incorrect inflating the profit. For example it says I spent $140.74 on ads and made $115.60. And that my profit was $95.59. Um how is that possible? Despite numerous emails to Rontar they can't seem to answer the question and just go in circles. In addition the sales they say they made show up in Shopify as first time visitors so how exactly is that retargeting? No thanks.

I have had this app for quite a while now. It was really easy to set up and install. The support has been good too. I give it 4 stars because of the pricing. When I first started I believe I had it set at $5 per day. It has gone up to $10 per day. Please keep in mind that my business is still small and growing. My visitors are still low. The app will work better as my traffic increases. But it is costly at times per click. It has generated revenue for me!!! I do recommend the app, just watch the spending and stay in your budget! Update 7/31/17---- I was contacted by Alex. He has done some optimizing and adjustments. It has helped with the spending and cost per click. Thank you for your help and great customer support! Changing to 5 stars!

You get to customize a few features, put in your own logo, and it looks outstanding. The support staff for this app is awesome, too! No, sending emails and waiting days or weeks to hear from someone. These guys are fast and efficient. Fixed my small issue almost immediately. Now, I can watch the dashboard on my shopify store and see the clicks coming in. This is a must have for any business that wants to do re-target advertising! Highly recommend
