        Please note:
        • Awarding points: supported campaigns in the mobile app only include: Points for Purchases, Create an Account and Referrals. Other campaigns (such as social follow, birthday, and more) are currently only available through the "Rewards Web URL" link in the mobile app rewards page - a link leading from the mobile app to a mobile web browser with the Yotpo Rewards page.
        • Redeeming points: Only the ‘Fixed amount’ or ‘Percentage’ coupon types are supported in the app. If you are offering other types of redemption options on-site, you should create separate coupons for the mobile app and hide them from your web view. You will need to share the specific coupon IDs for the mobile app with your Tapcart representative. To clarify, you can still have product redemption, dynamic point redemption, or any other redemption format on-site, you will simply need to have fixed coupons available for Tapcart as well. 
        • In order to utilize the loyalty functionality, the consumer must be logged into their account: 
        1. To view loyalty rewards account info, the User Account View will have a new CTA to view their loyalty rewards account info.
        2. To redeem points for rewards, the Cart and Checkout Views will have a new CTA in the top-right corner that will open a new view to browse redemption options.
        • Once a reward is redeemed, it will automatically apply to the checkout as a discount or gift card.
        • Subscription products added via ReCharge can't currently be purchased using discounts/gift cards in Tapcart. This includes any rewards from a loyalty provider.

        Integrating Yotpo Subscriptions with Tapcart

        Creating a custom screen in Tapcart:

        1. In Tapcart, navigate to App Studio and select Custom Screens.
        2. Select Create a Custom Screen.
        3. Enter the screen title.
        4. Enter the web page URL - this should be the URL where you manage subscription modules live on-site.
        5. Choose if you want to require customer authentication. There are two different options for authentication:
          • If you do not require authentication, the screen will be accessible by any user regardless of whether they are logged in or not. This requires the use of ShopifyMultipass.
            Tip:

            We recommend using Shopify Plus’ Multipass feature. To learn more about Multipass, see Shopify’s Dev docs.

          • If you are not on Shopify Plus or wish to require authentication, the mobile app will take any unauthenticated user to the login screen of the mobile app where they will return to the original screen after logging in.
        6. Once your custom screen is created, install the Web Bridge SDKon your website.
          • The Web Bridge SDK provides a seamless way for web pages to communicate and interact with your Tapcart app through a WebView.
          • Once installed, the header/footer of your web page will be hidden. You can also hide additional elements and implement app actions to invoke actions in your mobile app from interactions that take place within your web page.

        Once the above steps are completed, make sure to add the screen to your navigation so users can access it.

        More details can be found in the Custom Screens Guide.


        Once Yotpo is supported within your mobile app, customers can make changes to their shipping actions and product-level actions. 

        To learn more about these actions, see Managing Customer Subscriptions.
