Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Growave is an app from Shopify that provides a lot of solutions in one, convenient location. It was used by the marketing department to set up a lot of our website's functionality, including Instagram galleries, loyalty and rewards, wishlists (especially during the holiday shopping season), social login, and comments/questions. We were able to automate a lot of the process and this single app saved us so much time in set up. Before, we were using multiple apps that didn't always agree with each other. With Growave, we were able to install one app that worked for everything we needed!
Pros
  • They worked with us to style our wishlists so that they worked with our existing web design.
  • Automated emails reminded people to come back to their wishlists, like when there was a sale or discount.
Cons
  • Reviews need to be more robust so that it can compete with Smile.io and Yotpo features.
  • Social login seems to have limited choices for social platforms that allow sign in.
Likelihood to Recommend
Growave is the best option for the price and it allows you to keep all your data in one place. Wishlist emails and loyalty/rewards emails are all in the same place, so you know how often people are being notified about your site. Growave doesn't really seem to work with certain website stylings, so if you have a highly styled website, it may not be the best option. We had to work with Growave a lot to get the styles of the modules to match our site.
Growave Feature Ratings
Return on Investment
  • Huge savings from consolidating the different apps into one platform.
  • Wishlists boosted our sales by a significant amount (don't remember the exact number).
Alternatives Considered
Yotpo seems to have more ways to integrate your reviews with other features on your site, but Growave is a simple solution for people who aren't actively focusing their attention on reviews. Yotpo also seems to have better filters for negative keywords and swear words (important for children's toy company). However, Yotpo carries a much higher price tag.

They are super attentive and will work with you to make sure that Growave is properly integrated on your site. I had a few conversations with them. They always had prompt replies and they helped to create some custom solutions so that their modules matched the style of our website. It was overall a really great experience working with them.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I added Growave to my shop over 6 months ago. The interface is very customizable and easy to use. The team at Growave has been one of the best I've worked with when it comes to support. They're always available, quick to respond, and very helpful. I've requested a handful of small tasks specific to my storefront and they helped me with a fix or customization for all of them. I'm very happy with the app!
Pros
  • Great Customer Service
  • Open Minded to Customer Feedback and Requests
  • Easily Integrates to Website
  • Love the Shopable Instagram Feature
Cons
  • The in-app apps (on the back end) aren't all consistent on how they are laid out and the options/settings.
  • I'd like to see a more in depth connection to social media. Specifically Instagram. It would be great to be able to ask site visitors for their social media handles at the same time that they input their email when they create an account.
Likelihood to Recommend
I use Growave for their rewards program (point system) and their shoppable Instagram feature specifically. Growave does not have email marketing functionality or customer-specific product targeting which would be a nice addition.
Growave Feature Ratings
Return on Investment
  • The rewards program and discount tiers have help with conversions.
  • The shopable instagram gallery is awesome for customer to see products from Instagram posts.
Alternatives Considered
I selected Growave based on reviews and research from the web. I have not been disappointed with my choice.

At last! A Shopify App that Delivers and a Team that Supports

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Growave adds extra useful functionality to our eCommerce Shopify site which allows us to automatically request and post reviews from customers and also we use the Shoppable Instagram feed on our home page - there are other functions in the package that we subscribe to but these are the main ones. We used to subscribe to a more expensive reviews company where we used to feel like just another client, but Growave despite being based in another country feels much more like a partner agency when we need to use them for advice or support.
Pros
  • Support - They respond to emails quickly and professionally.
  • Coding - They are Shopify experts and will also try to find a solution to a request.
  • They are also cost effective meaning we are able to progress with development of our site without the high cost some other agencies charge.
Cons
  • As a 3rd party software they are not as integrated into Google Shopping as other more established review sites however they are working to ensure that our reviews appear in our Google Shopping campaign.
Likelihood to Recommend
For SME's who use Shopify they are the best developers and provide the best support of any paid app that we have.

Return on Investment
  • We have increased our sales through the Shoppable Instagram feed.

Customer support is excellent and sets Growave apart from other app developers and developers in general - You will always receive an email response within 24 hours and for larger projects we have had conversations with them on the phone.

We currently use Growave for our eCommerce Shopify business that adds extra functionalities such as the ability for users to have wishlist favourite products on our website to return to later on and the ability to use social media to create an account and log on to our website. As a small business we feel very well looked after by Growave, they have helped us integrate their app seamlessly onto our website in a timely manner and responds to email very quickly. Whenever we encountered any problems, we could always rely on Growave's dev team to provide us with assistance. Overall, we're very satisfied and happy with Growave's app and customer support.
Pros
  • Very supportive and patient customer service
  • Features are implemented according to how to specify it
  • App is seamlessly integrated to your website by Growave's dev team
Cons
  • No cons so far
Likelihood to Recommend
Growave has free and paid functionalities, small businesses who want to grow sales with loyalty, rewards, reviews and wishlist functionalities for example are suited. Businesses can use their free features such as reviews, wishlist and social media login for free.
