Alyth Active review for Loloyal: Loyalty Rewards Popup
Aug. 30, 2024
We decided to utilize Loloyal due to their integration with Shopify POS as we have both an online and in person presence. It wasn't until we set everything up that we realized HUGE misses by the app. 1. On the app points for both in-store and online purchases are shown as pooled BUT those points can't actually be combined. In store purchase points accumulate together to make monetary rewards and online purchase points accumulate together to make monetary rewards. The awards then can only be redeemed from where they originated. Ie points/rewards accumulated by online purchases can't be redeemed in store and vis versa. WHY???? It's the same customer purchasing from our brand why in the world would you not allow them to accumulate and redeem the points/rewards on both channels. And if not why would even show them as pooled at any point in the app. 2. There is a Loloyal app to download on Shopify POS yet when a new customer is checking out in-person they can NOT set up an account on the app for POS. So they have to go online to sign up but then can't even use the points they just earned online. Our in-person locations are in many tourist towns so we love converting our in-person customers into online customers. We had hope Loloyal would be another way of converting to online but oddly enough NOPE. With all this said I will say that the customer service has been extremely prompt which is much appreciated.
Hello there, Thank you for your detailed feedback on the Loloyal integration. We sincerely appreciate your insight and understand your concerns regarding the points and rewards system. 🤗 We want to clarify a few key points: Points Accumulation: Please know that any points your customers earn, whether through online or in-store purchases, are all accumulated into the same account. This means your customers will see a combined total of points, regardless of where they earned them. Coupon Redemption: While points are pooled together, the key detail is that the coupons themselves are platform-specific. This means: -A coupon earned from online purchases can only be used online. -A coupon earned from in-store purchases can only be used in-store. However, your customers can redeem their accumulated points to generate coupons on either platform—they just need to use those coupons in the place they were created. We understand that this might not be the ideal scenario you were hoping for, and we’re here to support you as much as possible. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else you need. 🌹 Sincerely, Sophie | Loloyal Support 🌹
