The customer support is fantastic. He regularly checks in to ensure everything is going smoothly. Whenever I discover a new feature, he patiently guides me through the entire process. He is very involved and makes learning the app effortless!

Switched to Kangaroo From Fivestars

We work with [sensitive content hidden] and he has been great about helping us whenever we can't figure something out or helping us find solutions when we encounter a limitation or need a workaround.
Pros
We switched from Fivestars as we are expanding to e-commerce and needed a provider that could work with us due to being in a regulated industry. We like that we can do targeted marketing based on behaviors , recent purchases, visits interests, tiers, etc. These metrics are important to understand your customers. Kangaroo customer service has been great about finding a solution when we encounter limitations within our industry or software integrations. There is an integration with Klaviyo as well, so that is nice to have. We got this software because it integrates with Lightspeed POS as well.
Cons
I hope the developers can allow us to manually export our own customers lists via a filter/csv download in the future instead of the user needing to rely on Kangaroo each time. I would recommend Kangaroo using an unlimited email system, up to 10,000 emails or a similar system and build that into their contract instead of the credit system, as emails don't cost the same as SMS texts. Most providers are using the credit system and this would set them apart.

TapMangoReasons for Choosing Kangaroo
Fivestars is very basic and suitable for beginners, but not for companies who are looking to grow. There are no metrics for behaviors other than basic redemptions, there is no ability to target groups of people based on behaviors/purchases, no white labeling. Fivestars uses their brand to promote their business, so that means it encourages customers to go anywhere that takes Fivestars, including your competitors if they also have Fivestars. If a customer unsubscribes from one Fivestar business, it will also opt them out of yours too. Customers don't recognize your brand when they get some of the notifications, so they will tune you out over time. Fivestars SMS and email program is very basic and limited.Switched From

My overall experience has been excellent. The program itself is easy to use, and the support team goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. It’s clear they care about their customers, which makes a huge difference. Highly recommended!
Pros
The best part about Kangaroo Rewards is the incredible support they provide. [sensitive content hidden], in particular, is amazing, he’s always there to help, no matter the time. Even on a Saturday, when it was his day off, he made sure we got the assistance we needed. The entire team is very responsive and reliable, which makes using the program a pleasure.
Cons
Honestly, there’s nothing major to complain about. If I had to nitpick, it would be that sometimes there’s a small learning curve when getting started, but their team is always there to guide you through it.

Kangaroo Rewards Review

My overall experience with Kangaroo has been great.
My overall experience with Kangaroo has been great.
Pros
Kangaroo was the only solution that we found to integrate our POS (Lightspeed Retail) with our E-Commerce store (Shopify). It was relatively easy to set up and their team is super responsive whenever there are any issues.
Cons
I wish there was better reporting capabilities, but i see that the kangaroo team keeps adding more reports and features which is great. Additionally i wish that some of the options for setting up promotions were a bit easier to navigate (i.e. selecting promotions by brand instead of just product and category) but overall i am able to achieve what i need to do on this program.

Our overall experience with this loyalty program has been positive. The high level of customization allows us to tailor rewards to fit our brand and customers perfectly. While there’s a slight learning curve in navigating its features, once you get the hang of it, it runs smoothly. A great addition to our website that enhances customer engagement!
Pros
the best part is how fully customizable it is. it gives us complete control over rewards and engagement. Definitely a great tool for enhancing customer loyalty!
Cons
it takes a bit of time to get used to its functionality, it's still a solid addition to our websIte.

The transition to Kangaroo has been a learning process, but overall I am satisfied with the product. The redemption is streamlined and the marketing will be manageable once it is setup. The setup was more cumbersome than I had planned on, but that comes with any transition.
Pros
The overall transition has gone smoother than I expected. I like that the program integrates with Shopify POS. The staff feels it is easier to use and there are fewer steps than FiveStars. Customer support has been available and checked in multiple times to ensure the transition was working. Our customers like that they don't have to enter their information. It's easier for them.
Cons
The customer list transferred into Kangaroo, but not into Shopify, which leads to the risk of duplicate customers or no names attached to customers. The auto marketing campaign does not have wording setup and the offer expiration is not able to convert to the actual dates it expired.

Cons

Overall our experience with Kangaroo was very positive. There were multiple trainings and guidance along the way that made us more than prepared for our loyalty program launch. We were left with a ton of resources that support our team. We know it has been a successful integration based on the positive feedback from our customers and the minimal troubleshooting post-launch.
Pros
Not only was it the functionality of Kangaroo that made this relationship a success, but also their amazing customer service. We worked with Janice and she was incredibly helpful, available, and knowledgable at all times. Live Chat and the entire customer service team made this integration seamless for us.
Cons
Not much to say about things we liked the least. The only issues we ran into were design customization as it relates to branding. Definitely room for improvement but not a deal breaker.

Response from Kangaroo Rewards
Hi Victoria,
We appreciate your vote of confidence, it means a lot to us.
Regarding Kangaroo's Tier program, we wanted to make sure you're aware of the full capacity and versatility of this program. Point Multiplier is only one of many ways to craft exclusive offers and rewards for each tier. Every targeted offer you create in Kangaroo can be exclusive to a particular Tier. Kangaroo's powerful marketing segmentation has many possibilities. Please don't hesitate to reach out to your dedicated customer success team to go through this and more in-depth.
Thank you for your continued support, and for trusting us with your business!
