Introduction
As the store owner, you have complete control over managing the list of customers in your Loyalty program. If it is ever needed, you can easily exclude customers, whether they are members or guests, from the program.
✨ Program exclusion is available on all paid plans
What does it mean to be excluded?
Excluded customers won't be able to earn points for any actions completed on your store that may reward them with points, for example, placing an order. On the other hand, if an excluded customer logs into their store account, they won't be able to see any of the on-site displays from your Loyalty program such as the Dedicated Page or Floating Widget, which will also prevent them from redeeming any points.
Excluding customers from the customer profile
To exclude customers from your programs:
From the Rivo Dashboard, go to Customers
Search for a customer by email and click their name
Click Exclude
Confirm the action by clicking Change Status on the prompt and their Loyalty status will be changed to Excluded.
📝 Note: You can add excluded customers back to the program anytime by clicking Add to Program.
Excluding customers using a Shopify tag
Use our Shopify tag to easily exclude customers from your Loyalty program.
A single customer
From your Shopify admin, go to Customers
Search for a customer by email and click their name
In the Tags section, enter
Rivo Excludedand click Add
Save changes. You'll see their Loyalty status updated in Rivo.
📝 Important Note: Customers excluded via Shopify can only be reinstated to the program by removing the tag.
Multiple customers
From your Shopify admin, go to Customers
Select multiple customers
Click the three-dot button below the Search Customer text box
Click Add tags
Enter
Rivo Excludedand click Add
Save changes.
💡 Pro Tip: Set up a Shopify workflow to automate your program exclusions using the customer tag.
Note: a customer's balance can not be edited when they are excluded. To edit their balance you'll need to un-exclude them first.
Common questions
How much does it take to reflect customers excluded from Shopify in the app?
Whether you add or remove the customer tag to exclude customers, Rivo might take less than a minute to update the Loyalty status. Make sure to save changes in Shopify and refresh the customer profile page in Rivo.
Can I totally delete members using the app?
No, this is not possible. Your members/guests list is based on the information generated in your Shopify Admin and the app does not have the ability to delete anyone on that list.
Can I import members to the app?
No, the email addresses of your customers in your Shopify admin will sync automatically to our app. However, you can still import data via CSV file. This will include their relevant information such as points balances and birthdates. Before you proceed, make sure you have already prepared and saved the CSV file on your computer.

Can I setup a Flow to help automate this?
Yes, if you are using Shopify Flow you can setup a workflow to automate the tag to certain customer segments. This template will give you a base to build from in Shopify Flow to exclude customers from earning rewards in Rivo.
