I did extensive research before choosing PayWhirl, and what really stood out were the glowing reviews about their exceptional customer service compared to other developers. For first-time setup calls, there was a wait of a few days to get scheduled, but was totally worth it. That said, if you think you’ll need setup assistance, I’d recommend giving yourself at least a week before your anticipated...

PayWhirl has been an excellent fit for our Shopify store and the Wonderwick Candle Collective. It made launching our subscription program simple, gives our customers an easy way to manage their memberships, and has significantly reduced the administrative work for our team. Most importantly, it's helped us build a premium subscription experience while providing the predictable recurring revenue th...

Chris helped me troubleshoot a tech issue which required a lot of back and forth and multiple attempts to solve the problem. He stuck with me each step of the way with prompt responses until it was resolved. I highly recommend!

— MotherFLY

PayWhirl is 100% the way to go. Chris held my hand through migrating my subscribers from stripe to shopify, not just support, true collaboration. I received white glove level service! 5 stars A+++++++++, PayWhirl is the right choice for your business!

A bit of a learning curve, but once it's set up it works really well. Great analytics for understanding my membership financials.

— Brenda Ster

9 years of running my subscription box on another platform...SO nervous about switching.... Paywhirl held our hands through the entire migration and we were able to migrate 100% of our subscribers over!!! Just frustrated at myself for waiting so long to switch over to Paywhirl. So happy we did!

I enjoy the fact I can share reminders with my subscribers and be able to pause or cancel their memberships with no problems as sometimes customer's may want a sense of the store being able to handle it.

— Bubbly Moon Naturals

This version includes everything I could have hoped for at the price. The app offers a solid API and smooth Klaviyo integration, and the setup process is straightforward. Overall, my experience has been very positive so far, aside from a few minor glitches at the beginning.

the help/tech team is terrible! Was not happy with the app at all!

— The Fiber Faerie

We don’t recommend this app. We used it for several months and later discovered backend issues that had been costing us revenue — with no clear alerts or way to catch the problem early. When we finally identified the issue, we couldn’t resolve it through the app’s system or support. We were also paying over $100, sometimes even $200 per month, which made the experience even more frustrating. We’...

Customer Service takes a lot to respond

— WTF IS FASHION

After 2 years working with them. the subscription options will stop working on your product after a while, you have to remove it and add it again. i already lost 13 subscribers since working with paywhirl. Customer service is the most chilled and certainly not the fastest. I would not recommend

— gelbox

Horrible. I uninstalled the app before renewal still they charged me amount , no point of contact . I want my money back

— Whispering Brews

This app can cost your company time and money. Are experienced web development team installed the app as instructed by the videos. And nothing works! So we deleted the app and contacted customer service and never heard back. We have documented everything.

— PINK Jasmine Organics

Terrible experience that negatively impacted our cash flow. First I'll address their response: 1. I signed up for a paid plan, which they say is supposed to come with better support so if it's even worse than this, my lord they need a lot of work. 2. They said their app won't work with Shopify but clearly their reps don't know this because no one told me that or we wouldn't be here, just more...

Good App. but support is inactive !
