Note:
To launch your loyalty program, you need upgrade to a plan that includes accepting payments.

Step 1 | Create your loyalty program

Start by naming your program, customizing the points, and choosing an icon to represent them.
Dashboard
Wix app
  1. Go to Loyalty Program in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click Start Now.
  3. Enter your program details:
    • Program name: Enter your loyalty program name.
    • Points name: Click the drop-down and choose the term you want to use to describe "points" on your site:
      • Points: The default "Points" term is used to describe loyalty points. 
      • Custom name: Enter the name you want to use to describe loyalty points (e.g. "Stars" or "Hearts").  
    • Points icon: Select a loyalty points icon or upload your own.
  4. Click Continue to Setup.

Step 2 | Choose how customers earn points

Let customers earn points for actions like signing up or placing orders. You set how many points are awarded for each action.
Example:
Award 1 point for every $1 spent (excluding delivery fees and taxes).
Note:
Points are rounded down to the nearest whole number.
For example, if you reward 10 points per $1 and a customer spends $4.99, they earn 40 points.

Step 4 | (Optional) Activate email automations

Notes:
Email automations come pre-installed. The options available depend on how you’ve set up points, expiration rules, and tiers.
Dashboard
Wix app
  1. Scroll down to the Email automations section.

Step 5 | Review your loyalty program

Review the details of your loyalty program before launching it. Check that you're happy with the ways customers can earn points and redeem points. 
Dashboard
Wix app
  1. Review your Program details and click Edit Details to make any changes.
  2. Review the Points, Rewards, and Email automations sections. Click Edit on any item to make changes.
  3. Click Launch Program at the top right.
  4. Click Launch Program again to confirm.

Step 6 | Add the loyalty widget to checkout

Setting up a loyalty program automatically adds two new pages to your site. Your new Loyalty Program page shares details of your program with site visitors. Your new My Rewards page is where loyalty program members keep track of their points and rewards. Add the loyalty widget to your checkout page so customers can redeem points while placing an order.
Notes:
  • These new pages won't be live and accessible to visitors until you publish your site.
  • Click Go to Editor to add the loyalty pages to your site.
