The Yotpo Alternative Built for Brands Who Want More Control

Migrating from Talkable to Friendbuy involves exporting referral and customer data, mapping it into Friendbuy, and configuring campaigns and rewards. Many brands run both platforms in parallel to test tracking, referral analytics, and reward logic before fully switching. Friendbuy’s team provides hands-on support to ensure a smooth transition to enterprise-grade customer referral program software.

Yes—Friendbuy integrates with ESPs, SMS platforms, CDPs, and CRMs including Klaviyo, Attentive, Braze, Iterable, Segment, and Salesforce. While Talkable supports integrations primarily for referral messaging and referral analytics, Friendbuy syncs referral data across your entire marketing stack. This allows brands to orchestrate cross-channel referral marketing with greater flexibility and insight.

Friendbuy delivers deep Shopify integration for referral program software, including dynamic widgets, automated coupon generation, SKU-based reward rules, and purchase validation. Talkable supports Shopify but often relies on custom development to achieve similar functionality. Friendbuy’s native integration enables faster launches, stronger referral automation, and more precise reward logic for Shopify merchants.

Friendbuy includes built-in fraud controls that protect your customer referral program from self-referrals, duplicate accounts, and invalid purchases. Rewards are validated against business rules, returns, and cancellations before being issued to ensure program integrity. Compared to Talkable, Friendbuy provides more configurable fraud levers designed for enterprise-scale referral marketing programs.

Friendbuy is enterprise referral program software built to integrate seamlessly with Shopify, Recharge, Stripe, and leading marketing platforms like Klaviyo, Iterable, Attentive, and Segment. While Talkable focuses primarily on referral marketing integrations, it often requires more custom implementation to connect with broader marketing stacks. Friendbuy offers more out-of-the-box integrations, APIs, and webhooks to support scalable referral automation across your ecosystem.

Migrating involves exporting your loyalty data (customers, points, tiers) from Yotpo and mapping it into Friendbuy’s structure. You can run both systems in parallel to test everything before switching fully. Our team supports the migration to ensure minimal disruption and a seamless transition for your customers.

Friendbuy supports native integrations with Shopify, Recharge, Stripe, and many ESPs/CDPs via APIs and webhooks. Yotpo also offers integrations across e-commerce, email, reviews, and POS systems, especially within its unified stack. But Friendbuy gives you more flexibility to mix and match best-in-class tools rather than being locked into a single vendor ecosystem.

Absolutely—Friendbuy integrates with Klaviyo, Attentive, Iterable, Segment, and more via APIs and webhooks. Yotpo also provides integrations with email/SMS platforms, helpdesk tools, and marketing channels within its unified stack. The difference is that Friendbuy can often plug into best-of-breed tools without requiring you to adopt the entire Yotpo suite.

Friendbuy offers deep Shopify integration, including dynamic on-site widgets, coupon auto-generation, SKU-based reward rules, and purchase validation. Yotpo’s Shopify integration similarly syncs purchases in real time, supports loyalty functions at checkout, and now supports POS loyalty & redemption via Shopify’s POS extension. But in many cases, Friendbuy enables more automation and control over reward logic and UI elements.

Friendbuy includes built-in protections against self-referrals, duplicate accounts, and invalid transactions before rewards are issued. Yotpo also enforces validation (e.g. returns, cancellations) and fraud control features in its loyalty/referral module. That said, Friendbuy’s fraud levers are more configurable and visible to admins, giving you tighter control over program integrity.

Yes—Friendbuy lets you fully customize tier criteria, benefits, and movement rules to align with your brand’s goals. Yotpo supports tiered programs too, though advanced tier customization may be gated behind higher plan levels. With Friendbuy, you gain more control without needing to upgrade tiers for core flexibility.
