Loyalty & Referrals Account Setup Checklist

If you want to make sure Yotpo Loyalty & Referrals is set up correctly in your shop, please check the items below.

1. Is the program live?

Make sure the program is live and active. If you look at the top left corner of your Loyalty & Referrals admin, you'll see a button displaying one of the following  statuses:

• If it's set to Active, the program is live and your customers can start earning points

• If it's set to paused Paused, the program is not active on your site and your customers can't see it

Please make sure your account is set to Active, and the Rewards Program is up and running. Read more about Activating/Deactivating your Loyalty Program.

2. Earning rules (campaigns)

• How many campaigns should I set up?

We recommend setting up between 6-8 campaigns. Too many campaigns may create a bad user experience for customers

• Should I have duplicate campaigns?

Make sure that only one campaign is set up for each action (i.e. Only 1 Facebook Share Campaign, only 1 Point for Purchase, only 1 Punch Card, etc)

• How much are points worth? 

Choose how many points customers need to collect in order to redeem them for store discounts. To learn more, click here.

• Are the campaigns live?

You can pause each earning rule by clicking the Pause button in the upper right corner:

3. Rewards

• How many rewards should I set up?

We recommend setting up between 3-5 rewards. Too many options can create confusion and cause problems

• Direct rewards vs. redeemable rewards

Direct coupons are sent immediately after completing an earning rule, while the redeemable rewards allow your customers to redeem rewards using earned points

• Consistent ratio for redemption

For Example, If 5 points=$5, 10 points should equal $10

4. Referral program

• We recommend awarding the referred customers with a discount, and not with points. Points may confuse new customers. A discount is a better incentive for a first purchase
• If you set up a points-based referral program, reward codes will not show on the Referred Customer Welcome Popup (since the referred customer is earning points and not a discount) 
• Enable Referral Popups : 

1. Go to the Referral Program section of Yotpo Loyalty & Referrals.
2.  Select the relevant popup from the dropdown menu at the top of the page.
   
3. Click the green Customize Popup button
