Frequently asked questions

What is a loyalty points system, and how can it benefit my business?

A loyalty points system rewards customers for their engagement and purchases by granting them points, which can later be redeemed for discounts, products, or exclusive services.

Implementing this points system helps businesses boost customer retention, encourage repeat purchases, and increase customer lifetime value.

How does Open Loyalty’s points system work?

Open Loyalty's points system allows businesses to define custom rules so customers earn points in multiple digital wallets and spend them with loyalty rewards. Customers can accumulate points through purchases, referrals, or other predefined activities and later redeem them based on rules set by the business.

Additionally, Open Loyalty’s campaigns can combine points with other loyalty and gamification mechanics to incentivize customers to perform desired actions. From tiers to exclusive perks and chances to earn rewards, Open Loyalty offers many ways to motivate customers. The platform offers flexibility to adjust the system to align with your business goals.

Can I customize how customers earn and redeem points?

Yes, Open Loyalty allows you to customize the rules for earning and redeeming points. You can configure different actions (e.g., purchases, social media shares, and referrals) and set thresholds for point redemption, ensuring the system works specifically for your customer base. Such limits also help prevent fraud, ensuring the user base comprises loyal customers only.

Can Open Loyalty’s points system integrate with my existing eCommerce platform?

Yes, you can integrate Open Loyalty with various platforms, including popular eCommerce systems, CRMs and marketing tools. Integrations can combine APIs, webhooks, and recurring data exports. A well-executed integration ensures that your loyalty program runs seamlessly alongside your existing tech stack and that data flows smoothly on multiple channels, online and in-store.

Additionally, the customer support team offers extensive documentation and is ready to help especially in situations such as before the go-live.

How can I track the performance of my loyalty points program?

Open Loyalty offers robust analytics and reporting tools to track the effectiveness of your loyalty and rewards programs. You can monitor key metrics like customer engagement and points redemption rates, enabling you to optimize your strategy in real time.

Statistics are available on all levels. For example, admins with sufficient permission can analyze how particular members earn points and redeem rewards. They can also see charts with high-level statistics such as cumulative points rewarded and spent to later export data to third party apps.

Can I reward customers for non-purchase actions, like referrals or reviews?

Yes, the Open Loyalty loyalty platform allows you to reward customers for various non-purchase actions. For example, you can award points for behaviors like referring new customers, logging in frequently, shopping with multiple brands, leaving product reviews, or engaging with your company on social media, creating a more holistic customer engagement experience.
