Been working with Joy multiple months now. We have been very satisfied with how things work here, including the seamless POS experience.
Today we had some issues with changing layout of the app and Lydia was quick to respond and walk us through the process. Great experience!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear that you've been satisfied with Joy over the past few months and that the POS experience has been seamless for you.
We're also glad that Lydia was able to assist you quickly with the layout changes. If you ever need further help or have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're always here to ensure you have a great experience!
Thanks again for your support!
Pretty easy to setup, especially if you have some familiarity with code. Didn't love the design of the loyalty page out of the box, but again, I was able to customize it exactly as I needed ('cause I know Liquid, HTML, CSS, etc.)
What you get in the free tier is pretty substantial. Definitely enough to get you up and running with rewards. We'll be upgrading to the second tier account type soon.
Their support team is quick and great.
Thank you for the detailed feedback! We’re glad to hear that the setup was straightforward for you and that you were able to customize the loyalty page to fit your needs with your coding skills. It’s great to know that the free tier provided substantial features and that you’re planning to upgrade to the second tier.
We’re also thrilled that you’ve had a positive experience with our support team. If you need any further assistance or have questions about the upgrade, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help!
Having previously used another loyalty program a year or so ago - until it priced itself out of our reach - I knew exactly what we wanted, and when it came down to features for the cost, 'Joy' was a clear winner for us.
There are plenty of options to tailor a rewards program to your liking and to get the design just right for your site. There's an easy-to-follow step-by-step process and plenty of documentation to help you set it up. But, if you prefer to have it done for you, support will happily do that. I preferred to try to do it alone, but there was just one element I couldn't get to work on, and finally I had to contact support. Kevin was brilliant, he completely understood what I was trying to do and came up with a fix in next to no time.
In conclusion, I couldn't be happier with this app and the support I received.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that Joy has been the right fit for your loyalty program needs, especially after your experience with other apps. It’s great to know you found the customization options and setup process user-friendly. We're also glad Kevin could assist you with the final piece, ensuring everything worked perfectly for your store.
If you ever need any further assistance or have more ideas to enhance your loyalty program, don't hesitate to reach out. We're always here to help!
The app is simple to use and good for our strictly POS usage. It is not perfect as it seems more geared towards shopify stores that also use a website. Our business is strictly 'brick and mortar' so there are a lot of features we do not use. However the support is fantastic. We have worked with Lydia on a few different issues and she is always very helpful and patient!
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you're finding the app simple to use and that it's working well for your POS setup, even though some features may not be as relevant for a brick-and-mortar business. Your point about the app being more tailored for Shopify stores with websites is valuable, and we'll continue to improve based on feedback like yours.
We're especially happy to hear that Lydia has been so helpful and patient in resolving your issues. If there's anything else you'd like assistance with or any features you'd like to see more tailored to your business, feel free to reach out anytime!
Joy represents excellent value. Joy provides a comprehensive loyalty program and it's highly evident that they have invested in making their platform great for the customer. I would like to highlight Audrey and Hankim and the rest of the team for providing great customer support especially with the setup. I highly recommend this app.
A little frustrating that the app is still very much in development. I ran into a lot of bugs which took awhile to work around (still working on several, actually...but we've only been setting up the app for a short time now). Kinda half-baked from a coding/development perspective. That being said, the team behind this app are very responsive and helpful. If you have the time and patience to walk through everything, you can get a pretty good thing going.
Poor customer service. They state they have a 30-day money back guarantee; however, they will refuse or make excuses as to why they can't process the refund (even though it's been within the time frame AND you've uninstalled the app). It appears this app was made to mimic SmileIO, but has a lot of bugs and needs a lot more work to get to their potential. Time consuming to set up and the worst part is the emails are unable to be edited and they have incorrect grammar within their template. Lots of promises to roll out new features, but reading prior reviews that is also smoke and mirrors.
*update - still waiting for refund a week later
Hello there,
First of all, we sincerely apologize for the delay in updating you regarding your refund request. Unfortunately, the customer service representative who received your initial request forgot to forward it to our billing team, which caused the delay. After reviewing your request, we have confirmed that you are eligible for a refund, and it will be approved.
We want to assure you that we strictly adhere to our refund policy and deeply regret the delay caused by this unforeseen issue.
Since the bill has not yet been paid, you have two options:
1. Pay the outstanding bill, and our team will process a full refund.
2. Alternatively, we can add a credit to offset the amount of the outstanding bill.
Please let us know which option you prefer, and we will proceed accordingly.
Regarding your concerns about the app:
- Comparison to Smile.io: We understand that our app may seem similar to Smile.io, as many loyalty apps share core functionalities and goals. We are dedicated to continuously refining our app to provide a distinctive and enhanced user experience.
- Spelling Errors in Email Templates: We apologize for any grammatical errors in our email templates. Our templates are intended to be editable, so if you encountered issues while editing them, please provide specifics so we can address them promptly.
- Setup Time: We recognize that setting up the app can be time-consuming. We are working on streamlining this process to improve efficiency and ease of use.
- Feature Promises: We understand there may be concerns about promised features. If you could specify which features you feel have not been released as expected, we would be better equipped to provide you with an updated timeframe for their rollout.
We appreciate your feedback, and any additional details about the issues you faced will help us enhance our app further.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
Best regards,
Joy Support Team

A Huge Thank You to Hana and William of the Joy Loyalty Program!
From the get-go, they impressed me with their professionalism. They were attentive, understood my requests patiently, and most importantly, understood what I was trying to achieve.
Now, my situation wasn't exactly straightforward, and it took some time to untangle everything. But Hana and William? Not a single sign of frustration. They were the picture of calm and patience, asking all the right questions to get a clear understanding. They never rushed me, and that made all the difference.
In the end, their dedication paid off in a big way! They were able to solve my issue completely, and I walked away with exactly what I wanted. Talk about a win-win!
Hana and William, you are true assets to the Joy loyalty program. Keep up the fantastic work! You both deserve a raise (and maybe a spa day – you earned it!)
