Who should pick what.
Rise.ai or Rivo is the better pick if
- You sell a lot of gift cards, digital and physical, and want them in the same wallet as store credit (Rise.ai)
- You want a points program with VIP tiers rather than straight credit (Rivo)
- You're under 200 orders a month and points are all you need (Rivo's free plan)
- You want a long track record. Both have hundreds of reviews more than we do
Stork is the better pick if
- You want rewards to be real Shopify store credit, in the customer's own account, that stays put if you ever uninstall
- You don't want your bill to grow every time Black Friday goes well. Stork isn't priced by orders
- You want rewards to run on their own: cashback, birthdays, thresholds, referrals, reminders, Flow and webhooks
- You'd rather give money than points. $20 of credit needs no explaining
Switch in three steps.
Export your balances
Export each customer's balance from your current app as a CSV: email, amount, currency and expiry. If there's no export button, ask their support team for one.
Import them into Stork
Install Stork Credit, test-import five rows and check the balances in Shopify admin, then import the rest. Set
send_emailto false for a silent switch. How CSV import works.Rebuild your rules and switch off the old ones
Recreate your rewards from Stork's templates, like cashback and spend-and-get, add the cart widget, then turn off earning in your old app so nobody earns twice.
"This app has made managing our store credit a lot easier and the support from the team is unmatched. Would highly recommend"
Switching questions.
Is Stork Credit a good Rise.ai alternative?
If you mainly use Rise.ai for store credit, cashback and rewards, yes. Stork issues native Shopify store credit with flat pricing that tops out at $60/month. If you mainly sell gift cards, Rise.ai does more there.
How do I move store credit balances to Stork?
Export balances from your current app to a CSV with email, amount, currency and expiry, then import it into Stork. Free imports 20 rows per file, Grow 1,000 and Unlimited has no row limit. Test a few rows first.
Does Stork Credit charge per order?
No. Plans are Free, Grow at $20/month ($200/year) and Unlimited at $60/month ($600/year). Limits are on things like automations, CSV rows and emails, never on your order volume.
Can Stork sell gift cards?
No. Stork issues store credit. Keep using Shopify's own gift cards alongside it if you sell them.
Is Stork a points program like Rivo?
No. There are no points or tiers to explain. Customers get money in their account, and it shows at checkout. If you want milestones, a lifetime spend threshold pays credit every time a customer's total spend passes another level.
Flat price. Native credit.
Free to install. $60/month at most, however many orders you take.
