Store Credit

The app looks nice but is very, very expensive. I pay $99/mo for Shopify and the Rise.Ai plan we’d need is an additional $60/mo? This is the big problem with Shopify. They are missing so many core functionalities on their platform and the huge number of add-on apps required to make Shopify have basic functions that customers in the year 2020 expect increases the cost of Shopify by 3-4X. I currently pay more in aggregate for add-on apps than I do for Shopify itself. That’s crazy. I’m sure Rise.Ai is nice, but I’d rather do a dozen manual returns each month and manually create discount codes for customers to use as “store credit” than pay $60/mo plus $.15/order. We did about 800 orders last month with only a dozen or so returns. At the current rates, Rise.Ai would cost $60 + $60 for the overage (400 x .$15) or $120!!! That’s a cost to me of about $10 per return. In what universe would that make sense to any small business owner? The pricing is way way way too high for the value provided.
