Shopify Plus Loyalty Programs – Retain & Engage Customers for Growth

Why Loyalty Programs Are Essential for Shopify Plus Merchants

• Rising customer acquisition costs mean retention strategies like loyalty programs are critical. Data shows repeat customers spend significantly more, buy more often, and deliver long-term value.

• Loyalty programs drive more frequent purchases, lower cart abandonment, and create stronger brand advocates.

• Programs that personalize rewards, gamify engagement, and work seamlessly across channels result in higher retention and profitability.

How to Implement a Loyalty Program on Shopify Plus

Step-by-Step Approach:

1. Define Loyalty Goals

   • Are you aiming to increase repeat purchases, average order value, or grow referrals?

2. Choose Your Program Structure

   • Points-based, tiered VIP, subscription/membership, or referral-driven.

3. Evaluate Leading Shopify Plus Loyalty Apps

   • Smile.io:

     • Popular for easy setup, intuitive UX, and core features: points for purchases, referrals, and tiered VIP rewards.

     • Ideal for merchants who want quick launches, simple integrations, and reliable automation.​

   • LoyaltyLion:

     • Known for comprehensive customization, advanced analytics, and multi-channel campaigns.

     • Supports personalized rewards, program automation, and deep integration with Shopify Plus.​

   • Yotpo Loyalty & Rewards:

     • Feature-rich platform with robust referral capabilities, flexible VIP tiers, SMS integration, and review campaigns.

     • Excellent choice for scaling brands needing advanced segmentation and omnichannel engagement.​

   • Other notable apps: Growave, Rivo, BON Loyalty—each offering various blends of features, price points, and support.​
