Why points convert

Reward points make each order feel like progress

A good Shopify loyalty program gives customers a reason to return after they buy. Points help turn each purchase into visible progress toward future credit, which makes the membership feel active instead of forgotten.

Encourage the next order

Members have a reason to return when they can see points building toward credit they can use later.

Make value visible

Balances, earning rules and redemption give members a concrete view of what their membership is doing for them.

Reward repeat customers

Points work well for categories where customers buy regularly, such as beauty, supplements, food, apparel and hobby products.

Support paid tiers

Use reward points alongside discounts, store credit and exclusive benefits so higher-value tiers feel stronger.

Rewards app fit

When reward points belong in your Shopify loyalty program

Reward points work best when customers buy repeatedly and can understand the path from purchase to future value. In Memberply, points are configured as a benefit of a membership tier. The tier can be paid or free; decide whether you want points on their own or a bundle of member benefits.

Compare Shopify loyalty apps

Use points for repeat purchase momentum

Points give members a visible reason to come back after each purchase.

Use store credit for direct buying power

Credit is easier to understand when you want a clear dollar-value member reward. See Shopify store credit.

Use paid tiers for VIP loyalty

Paid tiers work when customers are joining for a bundle of benefits, not only a free rewards balance.

Compare earning rules before choosing an app

If you need review-based or social-action points, verify those exact earning actions before choosing an app. This benefit focuses on purchase points for members.

How it works

Set the earning rate and redemption value

Memberply lets you configure how many points members earn per currency unit spent and how many points are needed to redeem credit value. That keeps the program simple enough for customers to understand and flexible enough for merchants to control.

Program ideas

Use points where repeat buying already exists

Everyday replenishment

Reward repeat purchases for consumables, skincare, supplements, food, pet products or household goods.

VIP point multiplier

Configure a different earning rate for a higher-value membership tier, and explain the difference clearly.

Launch bonus

Introduce your program with a simple earn-and-redeem explanation that customers can understand quickly.

Credit-backed loyalty

Points become more compelling when customers know they can turn them into credit for a future order.

Post-purchase retention

Use points in emails and account pages to remind members they have value waiting for them.

Benefit bundle

Combine points with discounts, free shipping or exclusive access so the membership feels more complete.

What to check before choosing a Shopify loyalty points app

Purchase points and redemption value

Choose how many points a member earns per unit of store currency and how many points redeem for one unit of credit. Keep those two rates distinct when explaining the offer.

Your customer account experience

New Shopify customer accounts use native store credit when it is enabled. Legacy customer accounts receive a discount code in the member portal. Test the experience your store actually uses.

Credit expiry after redemption

Set how long redeemed credit remains valid, or select No Expiry. This setting applies to the credit grant or legacy discount code; it should not be described as automatic expiry of unredeemed points.

App fees and reward funding

Growth is US$49/month with all standard features, unlimited members and a 14-day free trial. Budget separately for the rewards you fund and applicable Shopify/payment fees. Review Memberply pricing.

An illustrative points-to-credit calculation

Assume a USD store awards 2 points per US$1 of eligible order value, with 100 points redeeming for US$1 of credit. A US$50 earning amount gives 100 points, redeemable for US$1. That is 2% of the earning amount as face-value credit if redeemed, not a 2% cash refund or a profit forecast. These are sample settings, not Memberply defaults.

Test the order-to-reward journey during your trial

  1. Configure one tier

    Open Benefits, choose the tier, enable Reward Points and set the earning rate, redemption value and redeemed-credit expiry.

  2. Check a member purchase

    Confirm the points awarded and the member balance using your currency and intended order scenario. Include discounted, cancelled and refunded orders in your acceptance checks.

  3. Redeem and use the reward

    Verify the balance after redemption, the credit amount and expiry, and the checkout journey. Repeat in each account experience you support.

Follow the reward-points setup documentation and store-credit requirements. Use the member portal guide to check reward visibility.

FAQ

Reward points questions

Can I control how many points members earn?

Yes. You can configure how many points members earn for each currency unit spent.

Can members redeem points for credit?

Yes. Set the points needed for each unit of credit. New customer accounts use native store credit; legacy customer accounts receive a discount code in the member portal.

Are points enough on their own?

They can be a strong retention mechanic. For better conversion, pair points with easier-to-understand benefits like discounts, free shipping or store credit.

Can I offer points with a free membership tier?

Yes. Reward points are a tier benefit, and Memberply supports paid and free membership tiers. Confirm the tier and benefit are enabled before launch.

Does the expiry setting expire unredeemed points?

The documented setting controls the credit created by a redemption, or the legacy discount code. It is not a claim that unredeemed points expire automatically.

How much does Memberply cost?

Growth costs US$49/month with unlimited members and a 14-day free trial. The rewards you fund and applicable Shopify/payment fees are separate.
