The customer service has been absolutely great with answering questions or concerns at my intial decision making and has been great to work with.

Pros

Its easy to use and operate and I don't have to have a special dedicated ipad to use. I can use the ipad register and all I have to do is pull it up after ringing out customers and add a phone number. Customers love it to since they don't have to download an app to receive the credits. I went to many loyalty sites and even looked at my current software company that offers the same type program and the cost for all others were way to expensive for a new business or a small business ownership.

Cons

I would like it to be able to use an email address if a customer doesn't want to use their mobile number, but that isn't a negative since it has only been one customer out of many that mentioned that to us.

Reasons for Switching to CandyBar

The price sold me and the fact I didn't have to purchase a separate ipad to use that I could use the same ipad that I was currently use for my register also I have multiple businesses and the discount they offered for a second location was absolutely great. I love that they give you a trial period and once the trial period was up they didn't force you to buy they sent you a reminder and never locked me out so I didn't have to pay until the trial was over. I give them a 10 out of 10 on absolutely everything.

Pros

Ease of use, and its design. I like that you can customize some parts of it. I like how it links your devices. Our customers really like it so far too, and sign up has been going ok

Cons

there needs to be a short cut on the customer facing sign up screen, I hope to speak w them soon and get this sorted for me. sometimes theres a small delay between customer facing & our computer when we are doing stamps, but it really is very user friendly and worth a try.

Great support!

Pros

The support team is great! Vino & Jelson helped me to resolve quickly an issue regarding settings of sender and reply email address.

Cons

The translation from English to Italian of every aspect of communication between the platform and the final user (both friend and referral) is not very quick to implement.

It’s ease of use and easy for our operations team to understand to use.
