### "A great way to win new customers"

September 23, 2022

5.0

Pros

I liked how easy it was to get set-up and roll the service out to customers. It is simple and straightforward.

Cons

I would like more reporting options and for customers to receive an email to let them know if their referral hasn't been successful.

Reason for choosing Buyapowa

The integration was more flexible and we could start using it without the need for web development.

### "Best in class"

August 28, 2024

5.0

The whole team at Buyapowa have been nothing short of excellent throughout my entire experience of working with them. We've been provided with endless support and expertise from our first conversation right through to deployment and beyond!

Pros

The technical expertise, flexibility and commercial agreement of Buyapowa really set it apart from competitors in the marketplace. It's great to have additional tools and continual learning opportunities from global experts too.

Cons

Nothing - we've even extended our initial contract with Buyapowa to include additional services.

Reason for choosing Buyapowa

The documentation provided by Buyapowa was comprehensive and we struck up a great working relationship with our Sales Manager straight away. The commercial agreement was competitive and we had confidence in not only the product but also the people behind it.

Having used Aklamio via Awin and facing ongoing tracking issues, we decided to look for a direct referral solution that could manage our referral tracking and reward fulfilment as a single solution.

Very good!

Pros

In general, de whole process with Buyapowa has been very easy and friendly. They are very organized and give all the support we need. They are constantly trying to find new ways of helping us improve the program.

More costumizable exports. They have their own reports, but maybe a more "costumizable" report woudl be nice to have.

### "Fantastic Training and Support"

March 7, 2023

4.0

The Buyapowa team is incredibly supportive and I can easily say it was the best software training I have attended.

Pros

The ability to offer different types of rewards. The potential for automation.

Cons

We are unable to use the features to their full potential due to some referral program parameters set by our industry. The content management is also less hands-on than programs I have used in the past.

### "Fantastic onboarding process"

May 6, 2025

5.0

The overall experience has been extremely positive. From the initial meetings to the understand our needs to getting everything ready for launch, we've felt supported throughout. The communication has been wonderful and we know our Client Success Manager is around to help answer any questions in a timely manner. Following our launch we're excited to see growth from our referrals.

Pros

The onboarding process has been extremely well-managed. We had regular touchpoints at each phase with an expert who talked us through what was expected. It was particularly useful to have the email content spreadsheet for us to refer to and follow best practice when creating our own content.

Cons

There were no negative experiences or anything I disliked throughout the process. Our launch went very smoothly.

### "Easy self serve portal with great account management"

January 2, 2025

5.0

My experience working with Buyapowa, and specifically with account manager Viktoriya, has been positive. Viktoriya has been extremely accommodating, with weekly catch-ups and prompt responses to any queries.

Pros

Helpful account manager and useful data overview portal. Buyapowa ensure it is easy for clients to self serve and access user reports at their own will.

Cons

Buyapowa's email design system could be better with the ability to implement custom HTML, the layouts can be quite restrictive.

### "Smooth onboarding and easy-to-use platform"

August 12, 2025

5.0

My overall experience has been very positive — the platform is intuitive, the team is professional and supportive, and their structured onboarding ensures a smooth start and long-term success.

Pros

The onboarding process is thorough and well-structured, which really helps to set everything up correctly from the start. You can tell the team has solid processes in place, which inspires confidence. Once you’re up and running, the product itself is very intuitive and straightforward to use.

Cons

The onboarding process can take a bit longer than expected, but that’s only because it’s thorough and ensures everything is set up properly, which ultimately saves time and prevents issues later.

### "Un partenaire expert pour nos campagnes de parrainage"

September 17, 2025

5.0

Mon expérience globale avec Buyapowa est très positive. La plateforme est claire, bien structurée et permet de gérer efficacement des campagnes de parrainage locales. Les équipes sont particulièrement réactives et disponibles, ce qui facilite énormément la mise en place et le suivi des projets. Nous avons gagné du temps et de la sérénité grâce à leur accompagnement. Quelques points pourraient être encore améliorés, notamment en termes de flexibilité sur les aspects créatifs, mais dans l’ensemble l’outil répond pleinement à nos besoins et nous en sommes satisfaits.

Pros

Buyapowa fait preuve d’une grande réactivité et collabore étroitement avec nos équipes. Ils sont toujours disponibles pour répondre à nos questions et résoudre rapidement les problèmes. Les processus sont assez clairs, aussi bien du côté technique/intégration que du côté créatif, grâce à des modèles préétablis très utiles.

Cons

Certains éléments pourraient gagner en flexibilité, notamment sur la partie créative. Par exemple, pouvoir modifier la typographie des modèles afin que les communications soient davantage alignées avec notre charte graphique, ou ajuster les redirections vers les CGV / Mentions légales.

### "Making referrals possible! "

March 10, 2023

4.0

Overall, Buyapowa allows us to enable a referral program for multiple types of customers at our organization. They seamlessly manage the leads and the reward distribution, creating more efficiency for the program and less of a strain on our resources.

Pros

What I like most about Buyapowa is the easy-to-use portal that allows visibility into the number of signups, shares and referrals. Generating reporting from this platform is also simple to use! The Buyapowa platform also allows visibility for our referral customers to see how successful they have been and when they can expect their reward. Additionally, my experience with our Client Success Manager has been excellent. \[sensitive content hidden\] is attentive, responsive and dedicated to the customer experience. He ensures that our problems are solved quickly and ensures that our program is running to expected levels.

Cons

What I like least about Buyapowa is the marketing campaign (email) template - it is not very flexible so it doesn't allow for adjustments to make it feel more on brand. Additionally, we use the email journey to market to our customers but there is no user-friendly way to look at the email metrics and see where customers are falling out of the lead funnel. Having this information would be helpful for users and allow us to make impactful changes to our campaigns.

### "A good experience with Buyapowa"

April 11, 2023

4.0

The Buyapowa solution allows a daily management and follow-up of the sponsorship program. It also offers many projects to develop and grow our program. The operational teams are available, flexible and always motivated in our new challenges.

Pros

The Buyapowa solution is easy to use and allows you to manage all your company's sponsorships with the possibility to add or delete some referrals for example. It is also possible to monitor the program's statistics on a daily basis. Moreover, there are several marketing functionnalities existing to develop the program and to to improve the results.

Cons

While using Buyapowa solution, we also faced some difficulties. There is no test environment at Buyapowa. Therefore, all the modifications requested to the teams, whether it is about the writing of emails or the graphic modification of some pages, are directly done in production. If errors appear, they are directly visible to the customers.Another element is the integration in our IS which requires a lot of development and which can limit the implementation of new marketing actions.

November 4, 2020

5.0

It is still early days to recognise what benefits this will bring to Vitality but with the projections we have calculated, this programme is going to be a huge win for us.

Pros

The software is really easy to use and was very flexible to some of our demands. Our ambition is one click share and the platform has allowed us to do this in some of our referral incentives.

Cons

I think that there can be a few restrictions on the design front, which at times has frustrated our UI team.
