Key facts

  • 01Customers earn points on every dollar spent and redeem them at checkout
  • 02You get a new customer when a referred friend places their first order
  • 03Promo codes can offer percentage off, fixed amount, or free delivery
  • 04All rewards and promotions run automatically through your Stripe-connected store

The Problem

You work hard to get a customer to place their first order — but too often, they never come back. You’re left chasing the next sale instead of building a loyal following. Meanwhile, word-of-mouth is your best marketing, but you have no easy way to reward customers for sending friends your way.

Running promotions feels like guesswork. You create a discount code, hope it drives sales, and have no way to track what’s actually working. It’s time-consuming, inconsistent, and leaves money on the table.

How It Works

Every time a customer completes an order — whether they’re buying a product, booking a service, ordering food, or grabbing tickets — they automatically earn loyalty points based on how much they spent. You set the rate (like 1 point per dollar), and the system tracks it all in the background.

When they refer a friend using their unique link or code, and that friend places their first order, both get a bonus — you decide the amount. Promo codes work the same way: create a code for 15% off, $10 off, or free delivery, set when it starts and ends, and the system applies it at checkout — no manual work needed.

What It Means for You

You turn one-time buyers into repeat customers who come back to earn and redeem their points. That means more predictable revenue and less spending on ads to find new people. Your best customers start doing your marketing for you — every referral brings in a new customer at a fraction of the cost of traditional advertising.

Promotions become precise and profitable. Run a free delivery code for slow weeknights, a percentage-off code to clear seasonal inventory, or a fixed-amount discount to attract first-time buyers — and know exactly what’s driving results. All of it runs automatically, so you can focus on fulfilling orders, not managing spreadsheets.

Getting Started

Tell us what you sell — products, food, bookings, or tickets — and we’ll build your online store with loyalty, referrals, and promo codes turned on from day one. You set the rules: how many points per dollar, what the referral bonus is, and what kinds of promo codes you want to run.

From there, it runs on its own. Customers earn and redeem points automatically. Referral bonuses trigger when new customers place their first order. And your promo codes work exactly as you set them — no coding, no plugins, no guesswork. Just more repeat business and happier customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to track points or referrals myself?
No. The system automatically tracks every point earned and redeemed, and it knows when a referred friend completes their first order — then applies the bonus without any work from you.
Can I change how the loyalty program works later?
Yes. You can adjust the points-per-dollar rate, referral bonus, or promo code rules at any time from your dashboard — and the changes apply to future orders right away.
Will this work if I sell both products and services?
Absolutely. Whether a customer buys a shampoo, books a haircut, or orders a catering tray, they earn points the same way — and you can reward them across all types of sales.

The Bottom Line

Loyalty isn’t luck — it’s built. When you reward customers for coming back, referring friends, and using your promotions, you create a cycle that grows your business naturally. You spend less chasing sales and more doing what you do best.

Your online store doesn’t just take orders — it helps you keep customers, turn them into advocates, and run smart promotions that actually move the needle. And the best part? It all works automatically, so you can focus on running your business, not managing a rewards program.
