At Rivyo, we’ve always believed that customer reviews are just the beginning of a stronger, more connected brand experience. Over the years, we’ve helped 1000+ of Shopify merchants to build credibility and drive conversions through authentic product reviews. However, our community continued asking us the same question:
“How can we keep those happy customers coming back?”
After listening closely to your feedback and understanding the changing needs of eCommerce brands, our team got to work on a solution that goes beyond just collecting reviews. Today, we’re beyond happy to introduce one of our biggest updates yet:
Introducing the Rivyo Loyalty Feature, a powerful new way to reward your customers, encourage repeat purchases, and boost your store’s long-term growth.
This feature is more than just points and perks, it’s about creating a personalized shopping experience that keeps your customers engaged and appreciated. Whether you’re running a small Shopify store or managing a high-volume DTC brand, Rivyo Loyalty is designed to help you build meaningful, long-term relationships with your customers.
In this blog, we will explain to you through what the new Loyalty feature is, why we built it, how it works, and most importantly, how it can help grow your business.
Let’s know more about it.
The Rivyo Loyalty feature is a powerful tool designed to help e-commerce businesses build stronger relationships with their customers and drive repeat purchases. Integrated within the Rivyo app, which primarily focuses on collecting and showcasing customer reviews, the loyalty feature allows businesses to reward their customers for various actions, fostering a sense of appreciation and encouraging long-term engagement.
The Rivyo Loyalty feature allows you to reward your customers with points for completing valuable actions across your store. These actions can include:
With this new feature, you can easily create a personalized loyalty program that aligns with your brand’s goals, tone, and audience. You’re in complete control: choose how customers earn points, set redemption rules, customize the rewards they can unlock, and even customize the visual design to match your brand identity.
Loyalty programs that reward behavior see up to 80% higher retention, Rivyo loyalty brings that power straight to your Shopify store. Here's what makes it stand out:
Set up a flexible rewards structure where customers earn points for valuable actions like purchases, product reviews, referrals, and more. You control the rules—reward what matters most to your brand.
Supercharge your review collection by offering points for every product review submitted. This not only boosts trust but also encourages customers to interact post-purchase.
Empower your customers to spread the word. Reward both referrers and their friends with customizable incentives, helping you grow organically through word-of-mouth.
Let customers redeem points for discounts, exclusive products, free shipping, or even store credit. Set redemption thresholds, limits, and expiration periods with full control.
Keep the experience on-brand with a fully customizable loyalty widget. Match the design to your store’s theme for a seamless customer journey.
Access a powerful dashboard that tracks customer participation, points earned/redeemed, and overall ROI of your loyalty efforts. Make data-driven decisions in real-time.
No need for third-party tools. This feature works in perfect harmony with your Rivyo review workflows, turning every customer interaction into an opportunity for engagement and reward.
The new loyalty feature in Rivyo is a strategic tool designed to help you grow faster, retain more customers, and build a stronger brand on Shopify. Below is a breakdown of the core business benefits you can expect when you activate and leverage Rivyo’s loyalty system:
It's nice to get a first-time customer. However, real revenue is found in encouraging them to return again and time again.
Rivyo Loyalty allows you to reward customers for every activity, resulting in a continuous engagement process. Customers are more likely to return when they know they will receive points for every purchase they make, even if they are not actively seeking for something.
Most Shopify merchants struggle to gain regular reviews, despite having one of the most powerful conversion tools.
With Rivyo’s Loyalty feature, you can reward customers for leaving reviews, adding photos, or rating products. This gives customers an extra reason to engage after their purchase and helps you build social proof effortlessly.
The more value your customers see in each connection with your store, the longer they will remain loyal.
Rivyo helps you keep clients engaged after the transaction by awarding points for a variety of behaviours (not just purchases). Customers that receive rewards tend to spend more over time and are more emotionally invested in your business.
Great brands are not established only via marketing; they are driven by satisfied customers who spread the word.
With Rivyo Loyalty, you can reward shoppers for:
These methods help expand your reach organically, using the power of word-of-mouth.
Too many brands rely on heavy discounts and ad spend to bring customers back.
A loyalty program shifts that dynamic. Instead of offering constant sales, you’re offering value through points, creating a system that encourages shopping without eroding your profit margins.
You also rely less on paid marketing because loyal customers are cheaper to retain than new ones are to acquire.
With Rivyo’s loyalty dashboard, you’ll gain visibility into:
These insights allow you to fine-tune your campaigns and double down on what works best.
The best part? You don’t need to install or manage multiple apps.
The Loyalty feature is fully integrated with your existing Rivyo app, meaning:
It’s an all-in-one review + loyalty platform built to simplify your marketing workflow.
