Be very cautious before signing up. This platform forces a 20% discount and then takes a punishing 30% commission—you’re effectively selling at wholesale prices with none of the wholesale benefits. I know of no other marketplace that skims this high. In my data, 82% of customers bought only once, so there’s no lifetime value—just discount hunters. If your business doesn’t require repeat customers, maybe this works; for me, it’s unsustainable. I pressed their team repeatedly for a more reasonable commission and got nowhere. Bottom line: the economics don’t pencil. I was on the platform for a year and a half and gave it a fair shot—the results did not match the promise.

A Cataclysmic Change That Puts Long-Time Customers at Risk I have been a loyal Klaviyo customer for the past 6 years, sending around 2 emails a week to less than 5000 contacts. I recently learned about their new policy that will charge me for every active profile—a massive price hike from $100 per month to $860 per month for hosting all my profiles. This change came with almost no notice and I now have less than 3 weeks to suppress over 75% of my hard-earned, paid-for email profiles. Why would Klaviyo risk losing customers like me, especially after 6 years of loyalty? I barely use the service to its full potential—why should I pay for profiles I don’t actively use? This is an incredibly disruptive change, and frankly, it feels like Klaviyo has given no thought to how it will affect smaller, long-time customers. I hoped Klaviyo would rethink this price change or, at the very least, give us more time to determine which profiles to keep active. But instead, I feel forced to look for a more affordable platform that can offer better value. For me, Klaviyo is simply not worth more than $100/month anymore, and I’m deeply disappointed in how they’ve handled this change. Adding: Klaviyo response doesn't address my issues at all. More time to reduce emails would be much more appreciated than 25% off... Seriously? 25% off of $860/month? Are you thinking I'll just make the jump from $100/month to $645 per month?

We absolutely want our customers to keep hard-earned active profiles that lead to revenue and growth for their business. Klaviyo exists to help you to understand your customers and drive growth from those relationships. While most of our customers are not seeing any change to their email plan, we are providing an Appreciation Discount for many customers, including Pandere Shoes, whose active profiles have grown well beyond their current plan. This discount allows customers to get on the right plan for their active profile count, while only paying a maximum of 25% more for their email plan than they are today. We encourage customers to look for additional communications sent today so that they can best understand how these changes impact their specific plan and to understand our new flexible pricing features, including auto-downgrade and Flexible Sending.

If you're looking for a reliable and efficient way to sync Shopify with Xero, Parex Bridge is the answer. Highly Recommend. I have used this App for a few years and it's still great. Customer services is highly responsive with clear and actionable answers. Recently, I discovered (thanks to ChatGPT) that Parex Bridge can automate journal entries for COGS on every purchase. This means every sale automatically generates a matching journal entry that moves the item's cost from assets to COGS. It's such a huge time-saver and keeps my books perfectly in sync. This is def one of my Fav Apps. My one and only suggestion for improvement is to make Chat available for quicker answers for the customer.

Ediline Postrano was incredibly helpful addressing my questions about connecting my Walmart store to my Shopify Store. I learned a lot and shed a few headaches! Thank you Ediline!

Caution - this app has some very serious omissions. It's absolutely NOT ready for prime time. It's missing some essential features. On the plus side, easy to install, use, and find integrated customer info. But the down sides are pretty major. If you ever run into a problem with a customer, and you need to be able to share a prior chat with that customer, you won't be able to. You can not export any chat. You can't email the chat to yourself or a customer. You cannot even copy/paste the chat transcript into a document. It just doesn't copy correctly. Further, your customer cannot log back in and see this chat. I'm pretty confused on why this app is getting so many 5 star reviews. I have used quite a few chat apps and I was suckered into this one because it's free and I generally think highly of shopify apps. However, this app just doesn't cut the mustard. I'm ditching it and getting something that has chat transcripts that can be sent to my primary customer service email address so that I can always share it with a customer. Very disappointing app.

I have been a Shippo customer for about 8 months. At first, I was really impressed. I thought the customer support was excellent. The service was good and relatively easy to use. For me, the Live Chat feature was absolutely critical. Over the course of the past 5 months they have entirely dismantled the live chat. Now it's all email support. So for shipping issues, that just does not work at all. Shipping issues must be resolved pretty quickly. Waiting for a few days for someone to reply by email is a total deal breaker. I don't know why they removed the best feature of this app... Go figure. I'm looking at other platforms again. I really liked this app for about 4 months. Then the customer service fell off a cliff.

LOOX is hands down the best Reviews app out there. We started using LOOX about 3 years ago. The way the reviews display on your website has a lot to do with how effective they are. LOOX has great widgets but the biggest pro is that when a customer clicks on a review on your website, they'll get a really nice popout with the photo on one side and the words on the other side. These are HIGHLY readable and worth their weight in gold. About a year ago, we moved to BigCommerce upon the encouragement of a marketing agency. (Don't do it. It's like going through the gates of hell.) While we were on BigCom, we had to settle for other review apps. We tried Fera, Judge.me, and Trustpilot. After we finally got back to Shopify and recovered from the BC trauma, the very first app I reinstalled was LOOX. While we were on BC, we only got 62 reviews in 11 months and most of them did not have photos. Our reviews are Back baby! They're coming in at 3 times the frequency and 50% of them have UGC photos on them. For us, the real customer photos are what truly sells our product. Adding, their customer support is marvelous. Mara, Tamarry, and Jemuel all have gone above and beyond in helping get things perfect. No chat yet but the email is quick and efficient. You don't get lost in a sea of emails or ratings requests. Thank you LOOX!!
