Tiered Loyalty & Rewards Program for Repeat Purchases
The Opportunity
A Shopify loyalty app for merchants who want to reward repeat buyers with points, referrals, reviews, and VIP tiers. It should be simple to launch and integrate with email marketing so merchants can drive retention without heavy setup.
"The merchant wants an easy way to increase repeat purchases, especially for replenishable products, but lacks a built-in loyalty system with points, tiers, reviews, and referrals."
