Introduction

Introducing Rivo's checkout extension designed to elevate the benefits of your loyalty program! Integrate each extension into the checkout process to empower customers to enjoy a seamless experience and make the most of their points.

✨ Checkout extensions are available to Shopify Plus Merchants who have upgraded to Checkout extensibility


Redeem Points extension

By integrating rewards redemption into the checkout, customers are enticed to explore and redeem more frequently, boosting their engagement and encouraging repeat purchases.

  1. If the customer gets to the checkout page as a Guest, the extension will display a 'Log in' link to incentivize them to sign in or create a store account to enroll in your loyalty program

  2. Once logged in, the page will show their Loyalty Points available and a dropdown where the customer can select the rewards they can redeem with their current balance

  3. After the customer selects a reward, Rivo will deduct the points from the balance and generate a one-time discount code that will be automatically added to the order!

Known limitations

  • Customers can only redeem fixed rewards (Amount Discount and Percentage Off), Free Shipping rewards, and Free Product rewards

  • The dropdown will display rewards that can be redeemed within the customer's existing points

  • If the order does not comply with the reward TOS/conditions, the points will still be redeemed but the discount will not be added to the order.


Potential Loyalty Points extension

Showcasing potential Loyalty points at checkout gives your customers an extra incentive to complete a purchase and also explore the perks of your loyalty program, which is a strategic move to boost engagement and sales.

Both Members and Guests will be able to see the banner with the points amount they can earn for purchasing the products, and no actions need to be completed through this extension to receive said points.

Known limitations

  • It can only be added in the order summary, after all line items

  • It shows the basic calculation from the Points program. Shipping, taxes, and discounts are not factored into the points estimation at the moment.
