  • Share it in your social media posts or link it in your bio.

Your customer loyalty journey – How it all works

Visitor experience: Inspiring sign-ups

When visitors enter your customer portal, they'll discover the benefits of joining your program. Signing up is simple:

  • Omnichannel or eCommerce–only connection:

Online visitors can create an online store account to access their loyalty profile giving them one single log in across your online store and loyalty profile.

  • POS–only connections:

In-store visitors can create an account to access their loyalty profile using their Gmail, Facebook, or Apple accounts, alternatively, they can use an email magic link. Single sign-on (SSO) makes it easy for customers to avoid remembering another password.

Customer experience: Encouraging engagement and sales

Once logged in, customers can view their points balance, available rewards, and more ways to engage with your loyalty program. From earning points to checking rewards and referring friends, the possibilities for engagement are endless.

  • ACTION: Earning Points Toward Rewards

Customers can effortlessly view and complete tasks to earn points from their phone or desktop, making it easy for them to engage with key actions that personalize their experience or advocate for your business, all while earning points towards their next reward.

  • ACTION: Claiming a Reward

Once customers accumulate enough points, they can easily claim rewards through the 'Redeem' menu item. Reminders on their home screen will help ensure they use their rewards before they expire, so they never miss out.

  • ACTION: Save their Digital Membership Card to their Apple Wallet

Customers can save their digital membership card directly to Apple Wallet, simplifying the checkout process. They simply present their card for scanning at the point of sale, seamlessly integrating with their transaction.
​

For non-Apple users, they can save their customer portal as an app on their smartphone’s home page using the provided instructions. This gives them easy access to their digital membership card directly from their customer portal.
