Okendo: Reviews & Loyalty

Potential customers need to be aware that when using this app: 1. Metafields are added to the site that can not be removed. 2. These metafields prevent you from being able to use Shopify's Duplicate Product feature. Which means when adding new products every single one will need to be created from scratch. 3. It takes WEEKS to get the metafield removed from your site once you realize you mistake in adding this app

honestly super sad I have to leave a review like this. Okendo seems good overall but their support and team/onboarding is terrible. Still waiting weeks for help once we've already paid. Reviews was simple enough, but Loyalty they recommend onboarding and no one really has helped or even responded properly. Needs a big improvement in support

Very disappointing experience. They were helpful when they wanted our business and onboarding was fine, but after using Okendo for over a year, the ongoing support has been extremely frustrating. We reported serious issues with points, store credits, refunds, and tax-inclusive calculations. Okendo acknowledged the bug and promised a fix within 2–3 weeks. Three months later, it’s still unresolved, with no meaningful update despite repeated follow-ups. For an app handling customer money and rewards, this is simply not good enough. I do not recommend this app.

not working at all. no one received an email. The star ratings never appear on the webpage

It has been nearly 6 weeks since i signed up to their programme and the review request emails are still not live and don't appear to be set up correctly at all. They offered 3 months free to join their 12 month programme, and now I know why. The delays and errors and sorting out are not what I expected. We have not even started on the Rewards Programme yet, and no doubt will take well over 3 months to have everything live .

Fees for the app are crazy!! ROI on it is minimal. Can get more features at a lower cost with other apps. The only advantage it has is all in one platform. Overall experience is rather poor. Wouldn't recommend. And to make it worse, they still charged me even when I cancelled.

Very poor lackadaisical customer service. Still charging me $40/ mo when i never used the app because I received NO help with the quiz portion.

Got a 404 error after installing - app not visible/usable.

horrible support!!!!

Okendo’s customer support is essentially “here are the docs, good luck.” After almost a year as a paying customer, I contacted support because their Klaviyo review integration wasn’t working despite following the guides. Support confirmed there are no additional setup steps, no hands‑on troubleshooting, and no 1:1 help on my plan, only links back to documentation and group webinars. If something breaks or isn’t intuitive, you’re on your own unless you upgrade. That’s not support; it’s deflecting the customers.

I’ve been using Okendo for a while now, and honestly, the app itself is fine. Nothing amazing, nothing terrible — it does what it’s supposed to do. But the customer service? Absolutely awful. I don’t usually write negative reviews, but this experience deserves it. Shiela, in particular, has been one of the most unhelpful support reps I’ve ever dealt with. She never replies on time, never follows up, and never actually resolves anything. I’ve been waiting three weeks for a simple update and she still hasn’t bothered to come back to me. It’s like sending messages into a void. For an app that charges this much, you’d expect basic customer service — not radio silence. At this point, I honestly don’t recommend Okendo at all. The tool might be okay, but if something goes wrong, good luck getting anyone to actually help you.

was in the first plan, upgraded to second plan and got scammed out of credit

Disappointing. In the free plan only reviews are available but if you want to use other options like referrals and quiz you need to start free trial of the paid plan, which is not mentioned any where and you need to talk to support to do that... Such a long process and waste of time...

Frustrating, Overly Complex, Not Worth the Time I spent hours trying to get Okendo’s review widget styled correctly on my Shopify store and it was a nightmare. The interface is bloated, settings are scattered across multiple menus, and even after adjusting colors, styles, and modules, the reviews still looked completely misaligned and unprofessional on my site. Something as simple as removing “Was this helpful?” was buried or unavailable.

Reviews + Q&A = $119 per month...way too expensive for what it is.

Don't bother. There are far better apps out there. Okendo has developed such a convoluted app that simple features requires support for help, file uploads encounter constant errors, and reviews don't display. They then asked for account access to help fix it, but they didn't fix it. To make their app work they edit your theme and you have to republish your entire store. I mean, seriously.

The pricing is comically misleading.

Overpriced with many missing features, not to mention that I have been waiting since February to have them remove the metafields left in our Shopify since removing the app. Stay far away from this app unless you want ot waste money and your time.

The reviews feature are alright but quite expensive. We give 1 star because every single time we have an issue the customer service cannot help. It is like it young children working with absolutely no knowledge about the products and with no will to help either. They do not listen, they do not read, and they do not help. They answer slow even on live-chat letting you wait as long as it takes until you leave the chat and then hits you with "are you still here" and "we have closed this ticket please contact us if you need more help". Every single time. They let you wait 10-30 minutes for each answer. This way they let you wait for hours with absolutely no shame until you are tired and leave. Then they close the ticket and mark it as 'solved' (: It is absolutely astonishing the incompetence we experience from the customer service every. single. time. Also it's not a onetime thing - it's at least 15-20 different customer service agents with the exact same behavior. We will now find another provider to handle reviews for us.

I'm sure the app is great but the pricing information on the app page is deceiving. It says it's free for up to 50 orders per month and the only thing that changes in each pricing tier is the amount of orders per month. It's assumed that all features are included as the features listed are the same in every tier and it doesn't say otherwise. Once you install, however, and begin setting up, in order to have all the great features it boasts like quizzes, surveys, rewards/loyalty points, referrals, etc, you have to pay to add each one on. If you want everything it says it does (which assuming everyone does otherwise why would you have installed the app) it becomes like $139/month for up to 50 orders/month and jumps up from there for more orders. Very disappointing and such a waste of time. I never would have installed the app and integrated it into my store if I knew it was WAY out of my budget.

I've been using Okendo since 2020. Recently, I wanted to use their Loyalty program, but my current plan went from $119 to $300. It's unnecessarily expensive. I don't recommend it.

I wrote this review a few days ago and then hit delete. I figured I'd give Okendo the benefit of the doubt... Nothing has changed. This review is a reality based on my ongoing experience with Okendo. Onboarding with Okendo has been less than stellar. A process that I was told would be prioritized by the sales team has taken significantly longer than expected. There have been long delays and bugginess found in the platform that we've had challenges overcoming... The biggest hurdle working with Okendo is their responsiveness. Tickets are not handled in a timely manner. Emails are not responded to in a timely manner. I've had two onboarding reps and have seen the same lack of response from both. Okendo is the highest priced app that does what they do. You would expect them to back it with a high level of service and care. I haven't seen it. At this point I would not recommend anyone else go through the pain that I've gone through. It has not been a good experience. Sadly, we're in too deep and it would be challenging to pull out at this juncture a week before Black Friday.

It's very expensive to do the reviews and loyalty features all together. I have installed it for a few weeks and now I'm uninstalling it as I found out I'll have to pay a lot of money that I don't have since I am just starting and I want to boost reviews and loyalty. I found dozens of other apps that give the same value for WAY less. Their price is tremendously unbelievable.

We were originally really excited to work with Okendo but so far our onboarding process has been disjointed, unorganized, and their team has been extremely unhelpful in helping resolve issues when we are 3 days away from launching. I've spent countless hours on their support chat with no one able to help and support and as a result we are extremely worried and wish we chose another platform.

I've had this app installed and paid for it for almost 5 years (May 2019). I recently had issues where the app was not sending a rewards code after receiving a review. I hadn't changed or done anything differently. Customer service did not initially investigate my issue correctly (they rushed to a conclusion that I made an error, not them) then once I provided screenshots of the issue to prove the issue was them, it took days and days to get a response. Getting a answer on what the issue is and then also help on how to resolve it is like pulling teeth with their customer service team. Generally unhelpful. I've uninstalled the app and will not go back.

So far I have found their team to be disorganized and unhelpful. There have been several delays and we've into a few road blocks (which were misrepresented during the sales process) and their team is offering no guidance or support - just lots of pushback. I'm being sent articles that don't answer my questions (instead of the onboarding specialist taking the time to answer my questions herself). They are telling me they can't do things that the sales person told me they could. The setup has been severely delayed. I'm hoping someone on their team is capable of turning this around because as of now, it's been a very disappointing experience.

Okendo cannot be manually translated into a custom language. Very strange that in the basic languages Okendo has a Russian translation, this during the war with Ukraine and when sanctions are imposed on Russia. Shame on you

Followed the prompts to use the app and it didn;t work. Requested support via the in app chat, no response. Requested support via email twice, no response. Very disappointed that this happened with a customer review app

the support is non existent. no tel support and the chat goes to Philippines that do not know anything or provide wrong information. literary spent 8 hours trying to get an answer cause it is 11 am here but 3 am there and they go to sleep after every time they reply, and you need to continue messaging trying to wake them up!

Waste of time. Okendo is bugged app with not working sequences. They are refusing to help. Completely the worst customer support ever.
