Why stores switch

Why Shopify stores switch from Retenzy

A review is a signal. Emailwish acts on it, along with every chat, popup signup and wishlist save, from one app.

Smarter follow-up

Every rating gets the right email.

Five stars? Emailwish thanks the customer and suggests a product that pairs well. Two stars? It sends a personal reply with no marketing, so you can fix the problem before it costs you a customer.

Set up for you

Live on day one.

Emailwish pulls your store name, logo and products from Shopify, writes the emails in your brand's voice and switches on about 10 flows: welcome, abandoned cart, review request, after-review, form signup and chat follow-up.

One app

Five tools, one bill.

Reviews, email marketing, popups, live chat and wishlists come with every plan, including Free. No email app to connect, no chat subscription, no data to keep in sync.

Reviews

Everything you expect from a review app

Collect photo and video reviews after delivery, answer product questions and show your star ratings in Google search. Approved reviews appear on product pages and inside your popups, where they help the next shopper decide.

  • Review requests after delivery, switched on at setup
  • Photo and video reviews, product Q&A and Google star ratings
  • Import your existing reviews from another app

Built in

Popups and chat that grow your list

Signup popups capture emails with timed, exit-intent and page-rule targeting, and every signup lands straight in your lists and flows. Chats arrive in one team inbox with the shopper's orders beside them, and a follow-up email goes out when someone asks about a product but doesn't buy.

  • No visitor, pageview or popup-view limits
  • Approved reviews as social proof inside popups
  • Unlimited chat conversations on every plan

Replace five apps with one plan
