Loyalty Apps and Discount Stacking without Shopify Plus

Topic summary

A merchant is seeking alternatives to Shopify Plus for implementing a loyalty program that allows customers to redeem points alongside existing discounts. After evaluating Loyalty Lion, Growave, and Smile, they discovered these apps require Shopify Plus for discount stacking—an expensive solution for their needs.

Alternative Solutions Proposed:

  • Rise.ai: Uses store credit instead of points, enabling customers to apply discount codes and store credit in the same cart without Shopify Plus

  • Loloyal: Supports discount combination with points redemption, allowing simultaneous use of loyalty rewards with product, order, and shipping discounts. Currently offers up to 50% discount and 7-day free trial

  • BON Loyalty: Point-based program supporting multiple discount combinations including:

    • Amount/percentage discounts with shipping discounts
    • Free shipping with order or product discounts
    • Free product with shipping or product discounts
    • Product discounts with order discounts

All three apps provide documentation and video guides demonstrating their discount stacking capabilities without requiring Shopify Plus.
