Why growing businesses choose Growave over Rivo to retain customers

“Recently switched over from Rivo and really impressed so far! I love the additional functionality that this app gives. It also allows VIP tiers without charging you an arm and a leg per month. And not to mention top notch support! Alex has pretty much held my hand through this whole process (even though it was seamless and easy to start, just a few hours to set up) - he’s been by my side the entire time and ensured a seamless transition from our old app. Imported all of our customer data and helped me get to production quickly!!! I’m impressed so far!”

rivo checkout Growave

Better Checkout Extensions

Rivo requires three separate extensions to activate checkout features, taking up space and making your most important page look cluttered. Growave includes everything in a single checkout extension, keeping your checkout clean and optimized while saving space. Thinking ahead when modifying your checkout page is crucial.
rivo account Growave

Account & Order Page Extensions

Growave keeps customers engaged with account and order history extensions, showing points balance, rewards, VIP tier status, and referral links right in their accounts. Plus, request reviews from the order status page and display earned points per purchase. Rivo lacks these features, missing key retention opportunities.
