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 that allows us to better plan inventory, production, and future product launches. I'd highly recommend it to any Shopify merchant looking for a flexible, user-friendly subscription solution.
A bit of a learning curve, but once it's set up it works really well. Great analytics for understanding my membership financials.
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.
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!
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!
Works great and is easy to get started
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.
