Can I add a simple loyalty program to my basic Shopify version?

[mediablasters]

I am looking to add a loyalty program similar to most where with each purchase a person gets points and than they can redeem their points for savings on their next purchase.

I only have the basic version of shopify and not flow.  Is there anything out there simple to setup and use?

Hey @mediablasters.

Thanks for reaching out.

That is a great question! I can certainly see the benefit of allowing your customers to redeem points from previous purchases. If you would like to include a loyalty program with your online store, you can look towards adding a Loyalty App on the Shopify App store. I went ahead and created a list of recommendations that you may be interested in:

• Smile: Loyalty & Rewards
• BON: Rewards, Loyalty Program
• Growave: Loyalty, Wishlist +3

Additionally, if you are interested in hiring an individual to assist you with creating/building a specific feature on your online store, you can reach out to a Shopify Expert.

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

Thanks for the reply but I installed BON and it just shows nothing on the screen.  I know that Smile requires more than Shopify Basic to work, is BON the same.  I was hoping not have to upgrade yet less the store makes more sales.

I recommend giving Fealty a try.

Unlike traditional point-based loyalty programs, Fealty offers a cashback and discount-based system. This approach adds more value to your customers. With instant cashback and discounts, it motivates customers to make more purchases. Plus, they have the opportunity to unlock different tiers and enjoy higher cashback rates.

Setting up your loyalty program with Fealty is definitely worth considering.

And here's an added bonus: Fealty is free until you reach 50 orders with cashback or discounts. So you can test it out and see the benefits for yourself without any upfront costs.

You're right in noting that some loyalty programs might have more advanced features that are best utilized with higher-tier Shopify plans or Shopify Flow. However, there is still a great option available that works well with the basic Shopify plan.

I recommend trying Loloyal. I've found it to be a user-friendly loyalty program specifically designed for Shopify merchants. It offers a points-based system where customers earn points for purchases and can redeem them for savings on future orders. And you're able to set minimum spending thresholds for rewards, which can help increase your average order value. There're also many other features waiting for you to explore and benefit your store.The customer support is also fantastic and has been really helpful in getting everything set up smoothly.

It has served many merchants with basic Shopify plan. I believe it would be your best choice.

Loloyal offers free plan as well as a 7-day free trial for premium features, which makes it a flexible and affordable option for stores of all sizes.By the way, it has the Early Bird offer now: Up to 50% off new users will get.Enjoy the discount with the content link~

Ps: It's important to note that Loloyal cannot bypass the limitations imposed by Shopify on Basic plan merchants. Therefore, some advanced features available in higher-tier Shopify plans might not be accessible to Basic plan users, even if Loloyal supports those features.

I hope it will help~😉
