What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants say this app is a powerful promotion engine for complex discounting, handling stacked discounts, BOGO, free gifts, tiered and VIP offers, and dynamic pricing across the site. Many report it replaces multiple apps, boosts revenue and conversions, and works well for high-volume and multi-store setups. Support is frequently praised as fast, patient, and hands-on, and merchants note ongoing feature improvements and strong Shopify Plus compatibility.

We checked a number of different apps to run our discounts. We have a lot of different types of discounts and promotions to run, many overlapping. Discount ninja was able to make every promotion I needed. (some were complicated)
Because this app takes over your cart attributes there was some minor conflict with our custom "special order" items not normally part of standard cart function. I emailed support and got quick replies. Also the support could understand my questions even when talking about coding. Everything got fixed very fast (it was only minor, but complicated to begin with) now our sales behave and checkout perfectly.
After running this for a couple of months we decided to get the maximum plan because its working so well and paying for its self. Thanks!

Superb App & Customer Service!

This app does require knowledge of how to edit specific parts of your code, product template, collection, cart and featured collection on home page. Being a novice at this I requested the help of the Apps customer support and I can confidently say this has been the best customer service I have ever received for a Shopify App. Bart firstly sent me detailed explanations on how to fix my product template but as I had issues finding the relevant code to update on my collections and cart templates Bart took over and made all of the edits for me. The result is a very slick and visually appealing discount offer on my website that has converted very well during a Black Friday sale.

Well done Bart on your customer service skills.

All the best

Discount Ninja is game changing.

Stacking codes.
Discount summary display.
Cross-sells and Upsells at add-to-cart (classic would you like fries with that)
BOGO offers-- with advanced logic...

You may think, "Shopify already offers this..."
Not even close.

MERCHANDISING is crucial to customer UX. Just having an offer is not going to help sell anything. You have to communicate it. And let your customer know every step of the way about the offers.

As a merchant who was instrumental in the development of more than a few "best of breed" discount apps and modules, Discount Ninja is clearly the winner.

PS - If you insist on poking around my site -- please know I am also using a best-in-class popup app to help with add-to-cart upsells... IN ADDITION to DN.

[update 2+ years later]
I don't have much to add besides "Discount Ninja for the Win!"
I am now using Rebuy WITH DN for crazy powerful promos, and most importantly, customer UX.
The DN developer continues to improve the product -- OS2 compatible now.
Can I give an app 100 stars?

Thanks for your feedback! I believe you are correct, the secret sauce is in the combination of merchandising (our building blocks) and the rich features of the special offers the app allows you to configure. Merchants who combine these two aspects of the app see excellent returns!

We installed this app because we were looking for some advanced discount options, It was the worse decision we ever made. The installation support of this app is terrible. The app didn't work for our store, but instead of helping us out immediately, they told us to wait for a couple of days or hire a developer. In the mean time we were not able to offer any discounts. In the end, the app worked, but it was making our checkout terribly slow. It took around 5 second to load the cart template, and around 20 seconds to redirect to the checkout. When I told the support about this, they told me that they couldn't do anything about it now because there developers are busy (we even offered to pay!). After that, we wanted to uninstall the app. Although they helped us with removing leftover code quite quickly, they forgot some of the leftover code, so we still had to remove the app by ourselves... Honestly I wouldn't recommend this app to any store owner. It is hard to understand that the support of this app is so terrible for a monthly payment of $70.

Thank you for your review.

As discussed on the phone and over email, we are sorry to hear the second and third-level support teams did not have sufficient availability to assist you immediately during your onboarding process.

The availability of our technical staff was extremely limited at the moment you installed due to the fact that we were rolling out an important update to the app, which, among other things included improvements in the checkout performance. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

Should you decide to reinstall the app, we will provide you with an extra onboarding call to ensure you can test all the features during your trial!

Discount Ninja is pretty much amazing with what it can do with discounts. Pretty much any combination of coupons, automatic discounts, etc. It is doing everything we want it to do anymore. We decided to launch this app one day before BFCM. The support was super slow, but it was the holidays. I get it. Their support is about a 12 hour time difference in the US. So it's back and forth for days sometimes. I was able to book a video meeting with them and address the issues I was having with the app. They made the necessary fixes within a couple of days. They are trying to make the support and user experience great. I'm pleased overall for sure! If you want to use their default settings for all promos, then this software setup is easy. If you're going to start customizing the specifics of each design, it will take some doing. Once you have a "template" created for your promos, duplicating them and change a bit of text is relatively easy. They also told me they were working on a templating type of system to make it less work to set up new promos. Overall I give this app five stars. There is nothing else even close for Shopify that does everything this app can do.

Discount Ninja is a Shopify app that allows merchants to create and manage discount codes for their store. It offers a range of features including the ability to create single-use and multi-use codes, set expiration dates and usage limits, and track the performance of discounts. The app also allows merchants to create bulk discounts and schedule discounts to go live at a specific time. Additionally, Discount Ninja provides integration with email marketing platforms and allows merchants to send discount codes to specific customers or customer segments.

I recently started using Discount Ninja for my Shopify store and I am blown away by how powerful and easy to use it is. The app has a wide range of features that allow me to create and manage discount codes in a way that is both flexible and intuitive. I particularly appreciate the ability to create bulk discounts and schedule discounts to go live at a specific time. This has saved me a lot of time and effort, and has helped me to drive more sales and engagement with my store. Additionally, the integration with email marketing platforms has been a game-changer for me. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with Discount Ninja and would highly recommend it to any Shopify store owner looking to create and manage discount codes. So, it deserves 5 stars from me.

This is one of the greatest apps on the market for discounts, sales, and marketing. When a visitor sees the price getting slashed right in front of their eyes (in real-time) along with the count down timer to build a sense of urgency, it makes them definitely turns them into a customer.

The ability to control when and where the discounts, notifications, and pop-ups appear (either on the homepage, collections page, product page, cart page, or checkout page), gives this app the edge over its competitors.

Everything can be customized to make it personal to your store. Some of the best features (in our opinion) are: the ability to choose whether you want every visitor to see the active discount or to send the discount to specific customers via custom URL (to be discrete), the ability to change how promotions appear on your store, and the ability to make every promotion unique.

The back end of the app is super user friendly. If there is anything that needs assistance, the support team is there to help. The support team is amazing. Shout out to Bart for his amazing service.

New features are going to be added to this app in the near future. So, this app will be even more amazing than it already is. We instantly fell in love with this app as it is one of a kind. We highly recommend this app to anyone. It is definitely worth the install.

Thank you for this amazing app and service!

EDIT (after recovery support provided by Bart):
It was a good turnaround after the shaky support earlier. We love the app, and thanks for the recovery support. We would still recommend the app to others, but please do improve the customer service so we do not have to resort to complaining to get our voices through to you. :)

EDIT (After Bart replied to our review): You have our email address. You can reach out to us directly from there. And stay committed to your promise by replying to us quickly regarding our issue (which you already know about) instead of sending a generic reply on our review and asking us to call you. Further reinforces our point on being hard to reach. Also, what's the point of having us send you an email (YET AGAIN!) and not replying further? Looks like you still don't get it.... and this reply is just for show.

Don't get me wrong. The app is fantastic. We would have become a loyal customer- BUT we experienced the worst ever customer service which really is a shame for such a good app. We contacted multiple times for a customized plan, but we only got generic, roundabout answers from the support team. There was ONE time that Bart replied to us but when we replied (within a day), we got back to square one waiting for the honorable Bart to reply us (it's been a month and counting since our first email, multiple followups and no solutions received.)

You could have just give us a discount code or something to tide this period over while you sort through your issues, and you'd have gotten a happy customer who'd be happy to wait it out. But, no. You chose to offer ZERO solutions, a KING of a CEO that is impossible to reach to, and customer service that just bounces back and forth and wastes everyone's time.

Customer service is one of the most important keys to a successful business. I'm afraid at the rate of customer service you're providing (irregardless of the number of cases you're handling), if you don't treat your loyal customers with the care they should receive, then you'll have a lot of negative reviews, high abandonment rate of your app, and many wasted opportunities.

Hi there Takva, it looks like we messed up in support indeed! Very sorry to hear that your experience has not been the 5-star experience we strive to deliver. That's unacceptable. We will take your advice and review our support procedures to ensure this does not happen again. In the meantime, I'm happy to discuss your specific requirements in a conference call. You can reach me directly at bart@discountninja.io. Please provide an email address and a timeslot and I'll make sure we get in touch ASAP. PS: I tried reaching out via phone, but it looks like the number we have on record for you is incorrect as it does not connect.

Best regards,

Great app and totally worth the money just for its dynamic pricing feature! I try to select very few apps to keep store running as optimal as possible and this is one you would not want to uninstall .Great support from Discount ninja team - almost instantaneous. Thumbs up
