Points at checkout · Built into YNS
Customers choose how many points to use and see the money coming off their order at checkout. A clear balance, a clear discount, and a total they can understand before they pay.
Loyalty points
Available: 800 points
Example rule: 100 points = $1 off. Redeem from 100 points.
Your order
House Blend · 2 × 250 g at $20
Total$35.00
500 points used · 300 points left from your current balance
In this example, 500 points take $5 off a $40 coffee order. Example tax and shipping: $0.
VIP tiers
Recognise lifetime spending with tiers that earn points faster. Customers see their current level and the spending needed for the next one, so the next benefit is easy to understand.

Bonus-point campaigns
Run a double- or triple-points event across your store, or focus it on products, categories, or collections. Set the dates and multiplier; matching purchases earn the bonus automatically.
Merchant view / Loyalty campaigns
Coffee weekend
3× points
A bonus on selected products, for a window you choose.

One example program
Ask Elliot
Elliot works through the same store API as the admin. Say which products should earn extra and when, and it sets up the campaign, ready for you to review under Loyalty in Manage.
Run double points on the Decaf collection from Friday 25 to Sunday 27 September. Call it Decaf weekend.
A $20 bag of Decaf earns 200 points that weekend instead of 100, before the customer’s tier multiplier. Members see the campaign in their account once it starts.
Loyalty in YNS is part of the platform, not an app on top of it. Here is how the usual stacks line up for a brand whose customers come back.
| You need | Shopify stack | WooCommerce stack | YNS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platform | Basic, Grow or Advanced, plus a loyalty app. | WooCommerce is free. Hosting, maintenance and updates are on you. | Growth from $60/mo; Loyalty is not on Starter. 0% transaction fees; only Stripe's processing fees apply. |
| Loyalty tooling | Smile.io from free for 200 orders/mo to $199/mo for 2,500. LoyaltyLion free under 400 orders/mo, then from $199/mo. | WooCommerce Points and Rewards at $179/yr. | Loyalty: $100/mo + $0.15 per member on Growth, $100/mo + $0.10 per member on Pro, included on Enterprise. |
| What grows the bill | Monthly orders. Smile Growth adds $20 per 100 orders over 2,500. | Nothing; one licence per site. | Members. The add-on has no order cap of its own. |
| Tiers and bonus points | Bonus events from Smile Standard at $79/mo; VIP tiers on the higher tiers of both apps. | Points per product or category. No tiers in the extension. | Tiers by lifetime spend and campaigns scoped to products, categories or collections. Built in. |
| Redeeming points | Redeeming on the checkout page itself is a Shopify Plus feature in both apps; elsewhere points become a discount code. | A discount applied in the cart or at checkout. | Signed-in customers pick how many points to use at checkout and see the discount before paying. No widget on your storefront. |

For a small store on Shopify, Smile's free and Essential plans cost far less; the YNS figure buys tiers, campaigns and checkout redemption without an order cap.
App prices are the vendors' monthly rates on the check date; WooCommerce Points and Rewards is the single-site annual rate. The YNS figure is the Growth plan plus the Loyalty add-on, billed monthly.
Points are credited after a successful purchase, using your earning rate and the customer’s VIP multiplier. Active campaigns can multiply the points earned on matching products. Customers see their balance and points history in their account, so they can check what they’ve earned and used.
Signed-in customers choose how many points to apply at checkout and see the discount before paying. Points reduce the order total according to your reward value. They are a discount in your store, with no cash payout or separate gift card to claim.
Their lifetime spending in your store. Set a spending threshold and points multiplier for each tier; YNS determines their level automatically. Spending points does not spend their tier progress. Customers can see how much more they need to spend to reach the next level.
Choose the base earning rate, how much points are worth, and the minimum number needed to redeem. Customers redeem from their available balance. For campaigns, choose the products and dates; if campaigns overlap on a product, the highest matching campaign multiplier applies alongside the customer’s tier multiplier.
Open a store and set your earning rules in minutes, or bring a typical order and the rewards you have in mind to a demo. We’ll walk through earning points, reaching a tier, and redeeming at checkout together.
