Joy Loyalty Program Rewards

The app has a lot of customization options, and their support has been very responsive. I recently spoke with Tiana, and got a couple bugs resolved, clarified some features of the VIP program, and requested an approval option for the referral program to prevent people from referring themselves and gaming the system.

I am loving using Joy Rewards and Loyalty program!, I have not had any issues and my customers have been using and redeeming their rewards seamlessly after transferring from my previous app. I love all the extra features for example the loyalty page on my website and I have only needed help in getting my customers initially transferred over in which Nolan was great and also verifying my account in which Sonny was kind, helpful and efficient in getting this done! I highly recommend this app and its support team.

We absolutely love this app for our shop! It is one of the few apps that plays nicely with our theme and runs smoothly! Joy's customer service team is extensive and absolutely amazing!! We are extremely happy with their knowledge and efficiency! We'd like to give a shout out to Tiana, Sunny, Hana, Lydia, Liz, Pamela, Tracy, Emily, and Prakash! They have helped us tremendously and we are so grateful for their support! The app looks amazing and can totally be customized to match the look and feel of your shop! We have nothing but positive things to say about this app! It's totally worth downloading!! Thank you Joy...you have brought our business so much JOY!! :D

The developer makes it seem like they plan to add new features, but they rarely add anything real. We have been using this for almost 2 years, and they have had the "Coming Soon" flag on a "Points Expiration" notification that whole time.

The ability of this app is minimal in the function of a rewards program and will keep your ideas just as small. For instance, even though they have a referral program, you cannot offer points for it only straight discounts.

If all you want is points when they buy, and the ability to offer discounts against those points, this handles that. Give out some points on a persons birthday too woohoo.

It's been easy to use, add tiers, points, and redemptions. Customer service has been great. I've dealt with Hana, and she responded to my questions with easy-to-follow instructions and direct answers. We are excited to use the app and hope our customers enjoy it as well.

This app works well. The customer service and support is great. The only issue we ever have is in explaining to customers how to pull up their information but that's not the fault of the app as I find it very easy to use.

I recently updated my store theme and the app stopped working but within 15 min chat with support this got it working again. So yes, I would recommend this app.

Disappointing. The CS was very helpful at the very beginning. However, due to their unknown technical problem, over 6000 customers accounts were duplicated. New accounts were generated automatically every 2 second and their team was unable to make it stop. After 17 days, the problem is remained unsolved. We've been waiting for their replies day by day and they won't contact you unless you contact them. And when they said the duplicated accounts were deleted, actually that's not true as over 6000 duplicated accounts were still there. Their CS didn't even check before they write to their clients. Truly not recommended. If I haven't launched the programme earlier, I would surely delete the app.

Initially, we loved this app. My customers were thrilled to have access to collecting points and redeeming them with coupons. After only a short period of time, my app stopped working completely. Customers no longer were collecting points and we could not target the cause. I contacted customer support via email- because there is no quick and easy access to support- and began the process to try to correct the issue. I start the process of correction and then am ghosted by all members. In which I then have to begin the process all over. I am paying for this service and unable to use it. My screen is completely blank so I cannot even cancel my subscription. I am extremely frustrated with this company and will never recommend. Over a month of trying to resolve and/or cancel this issue and no one has offered to complete the task of helping me, or even cancelling the subscription.
Do not get this app. They’re junk.

20,000 old orders awarded 1.2 million points worth $37k; Joy Support ZERO!

After Joy updated their app, customers called in about dozens of emails awarding them points, for orders they had not placed. In total, the app awarded points to 19,866 archived, old or fulfilled orders, many pre-dating the app install. Customers had a total of 1,171,430 rewards points added to their account worth about $37,000 that they could cash in. The app sent thousands of emails to customers.

Joy said this was due to a Shopify error that affected some other app developers too, about Order Update API calls. We think the only apps to be impacted were poorly coded apps that didn’t verify API status updates. We do not believe that every reward app developer and other apps that rely on order status, and all their customers, had these issues. The Joy app should cross-reference any Order Status’s to check if orders are valid, that they are not old, archived, fulfilled. No verification occurred, the Joy app, either due to this Shopify issue or their update, which, we think, is more likely, just gave money away and corrupted the points balances of thousands of our customers.

The worst part, Joy offered ZERO support!! They offered no solutions and when we came up with a solution, they would not help us. To resolve the issue, all that we needed was a simple CSV download of all points activities. Simple for any basic web developer to provide. After about three weeks of numerous requests, we got nowhere. They offered NO help!!

The Joy app allows downloads of customer balances, and displays point activity. The app will not allow you to download points activity to resolve issues. We spent hours Cutting & Pasting off the app analytics screen because Avada Joy would not give us a download.

In conclusion, after dealing with many app developers, the support from these people is non-existent. They may help with small issues on how to use the app but could not offer any support for more in-depth issues. They communicate quickly, but never follow up with updates or manage any issues, basically just paying lip service, saying all the right words, but never actually supporting.

We have resolved the issue, without any support from Joy, despite numerous requests. We will be moving apps soon to a developer who offers technical support.

The risk with continuing to use the Joy app is that one-day, due to either poor coding resilience in their app; lack of activity and other data download options; very poor technical support; we would have to tell all our customers their points are gone, corrupted, and reset to zero. Either that or pay out $37,000 in incorrect points.

EDIT:
Update, Joy contacted us and apologised. As the app is good we have upgraded the rating. The issue was related to unarchived orders (auto-archiving interferes with our 3rd party systems). To make this app more robust, we suggested the ability to download point activities and scheduled customer balances backup. With those two items of data, the system can be restored if an issue occurs. We will revisit this review if the app and support improves.

Wonderful app. It has all the functionalities I want under one roof. Our customers are also happy since we switched to Joy. The support team is really responsive and fixed the issues which I was facing. The handoff between their team is spectacular and seamless. A special thanks a lot to Abby, Gideon, Lydia, Hana, Toby, Esther and Emily for their help. They were proactive in providing a solution. Recommend this app to all
