Loyalty Program

Overview

For increasing the demand for shopping, connecting between customers and store owners especially close customers, Mageplaza developed the Loyalty Program extension. This module can create incentive programs for loyal customers who meet certain conditions. Conditions will be based on customer information and customer order information within a certain time. In addition, the module also allows the admin to add/remove certain customers to a loyalty program, create a separate program with statistics of the current status of customers and information about the program (using static blocks). You should intall Mageplaza SMTP to avoid sending your email to spam box. It is fully compatible with Loyalty Program.
