    What merchants praise

    Great app! Easy to set up and use, I wish I'd added it sooner! Updated 6/12/2026: I've had this app for about 5 months now and I continue to love it. Customer support is pretty much the best around and it's bringing tons of repeat business into my shop. My customers are happy, I'm happy - Highly recommend. (Special thanks to Lisa, she's been so incredibly helpful!)

    What merchants complain about

    They waited half a year to tell me their integration with Shopify has broken and their hands are tied. Instead of offering to refund $1200 for the months the program hasn't worked-- they waisted my time, my teams time and embarrassed us to our customers. Ten years with Smile. I get as they say "our hands are tied" they cant fix it etc. but choosing to continue to take my money then one day start talking about this issue as if everyones been privy to it? WILD. Bold choice. Our business with smile ends today and as their integration is broken I do not recommend you begin using it in 2025.

    Methodology

    Where the numbers come from.

    Ratings, review counts, pricing tiers, “Built for Shopify”, launch date, and category memberships come from the live Shopify App Store listing — refreshed daily by Ongoing.AI’s crawler. The review-count trajectory is the diff between today’s snapshot and snapshots from 7 and 28 days ago. Topic counts and sentiment come from the review corpus, topic-tagged with Claude. Install footprint is observed via Ongoing.AI’s tech-detection pass against actively-tracked Shopify storefronts. Catalog position is computed at snapshot time against every active app sharing the primary category. Snapshot generated .
