Hi @William96
I hope you are doing well.
You can use public apps like Smile: Loyalty Rewards Program , Stamped Product Reviews & UGC
OR Yotpo: Loyalty Rewards Program
to do this
Please like and accept the solution if it is helpful to you
Thanks!
Setting up a points-based loyalty program on Shopify is definitely doable, and a great way to keep customers coming back.
If you’re looking for the easiest way to start, apps like Smile.io, LoyaltyLion, and Yotpo Loyalty are solid options. They let you reward customers for purchases, referrals, reviews, signups, birthdays, and more, all with point systems you can customize. Most of them are plug-and-play, so you won’t need to code anything unless you’re going for a very custom setup.
That said, if you need something more tailored, like awarding points based on specific product types, syncing loyalty with a subscription system, or even building your own rewards logic, you can go the custom route using Shopify’s API. We’ve helped brands build loyalty flows that fit more complex business models, especially when off-the-shelf apps felt too limiting.
The key is to make the experience really seamless for your customers, showing points on their account page, making rewards easy to redeem, and reminding them about it after every order.
Happy to share more if you’re still deciding between apps or wondering how to make it fit your store’s workflow.
Hey @William96
I don’t want to describe all other things and recommend installing any app. Let me go straight with you.
You can easily reward customers with points for purchases, reviews, and referrals by using the iWeb Loyalty Rewards app. It’s a simple way to set up and manage a points-based reward system for your store.

Setting up a points-based loyalty program on your Shopify store is actually pretty simple if you use the right tool. The idea is to reward your customers with points every time they make a purchase, leave a review, or refer a friend. It’s a great way to boost engagement and encourage repeat purchases.
I’d recommend looking into 99minds Loyalty Program software . It works perfectly with Shopify and makes it easy to create a flexible points-based system without any technical hassle. You can decide how customers earn points, like giving points for every dollar they spend, extra points for reviews, and rewards for successful referrals. Customers can redeem their points for discounts, gift cards, or other rewards you set up.
The best part is that everything works across your online store and your physical shop if you have one. It gives your customers a smooth, consistent experience no matter where they shop.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you want me to walk you through how to set it up with 99minds.

Hi everyone!
Jumping into the discussion to say we’ve launched Alpha Loyalty — a new loyalty app designed to give merchants more flexibility and power in how they reward and engage customers. We’re now inviting early adopters to try it out and help shape its future.
Why Alpha Loyalty stands out:
-
Points & VIP programs that target different customer groups - you can use tags for precise targeting.
-
Flexible earning rules — reward different products with different point values.
-
Automatic discounts at checkout — no need to copy coupon codes, no chance of fraud, applied instantly.
-
Wide range of rewards — from discounts and gift cards to free shipping and products.
Special early adopter offer:
Everyone who joins us now gets lifetime free access to all current features (and many upcoming ones) + full support, a personal onboarding/demo call, and a chance to influence the app’s roadmap.
We’d love to hear your feedback and see how Alpha Loyalty can fit into your store!
Hey William, Graeme from Mage Loyalty here.
We built Mage because we were frustrated with the other loyalty apps out there. Too expensive, clunky interfaces, and useless help/support teams.
What you can do with Mage:
-
Points for everything - purchases, reviews, social follows, referrals, birthdays. You decide what customers earn points for.
-
Flexible rewards - percentage discounts, fixed amount off, free shipping, or free products.
-
VIP tiers - reward your best customers with exclusive perks as they spend more.
-
Custom branding - make it look like part of your store, not some generic widget.
Why we’re different:
With Mage, you’re not talking to a chatbot or some outsourced support team. You’re talking directly to the people who built this thing. Got a feature request? Tell us. Something’s not working right? We’ll fix it that day, not next week.
We’re founder-led. This means you get better support and we actually listen when you ask for features. We work nights and weekends because we actually care about our app & your success.
Setup takes about 5 minutes. You can check out our app here.
