# Turn one purchase into a lifetime of repeat orders.

Repeat customers cost less to reach and spend more each visit. Joy pulls them back with points that build toward rewards, win-back offers for lapsing customers, and automated nudges that land before they drift away.

## Built to grow your repeat rate, order after order.

Every mechanic in Joy is tuned to earn the next order, not just the first.

### Points that earn the next order

Every order builds a balance toward discounts, free shipping, free product, or store credit — a standing reason to come back and spend again.

### Expiration nudges that create urgency

Set points to expire and customers get a deadline to act. A time-boxed balance turns a dormant account into a reason to reorder this week, not someday.

### Win-back rules by behavior

The rule engine sets earning by customer, order, product, and collection, so lapsing shoppers and high-value segments get the offer that brings them back.

### Live balances, automated nudges

Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes carry a live point balance in your customer's pocket, and Shopify Flow automates the notifications that pull them back to buy.

## Best-in-class loyalty, ready for any brand

Joy is a best-in-class loyalty program that speaks your brand — points, VIP tiers, referrals, memberships, and social rewards in one platform you shape by your rules. To lift repeat rate, put earning across 30+ on-site touchpoints, target win-back rules by customer and order, and let wallet passes and Shopify Flow carry every balance and nudge back to the shopper. The result is a second, third, and fifth order that would not have happened on its own.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does Joy increase my repeat purchase rate?

Joy gives customers a standing reason to return: every order earns points toward discounts, free shipping, free product, or store credit. Expiration deadlines, win-back earning rules, and automated wallet and Shopify Flow notifications reach shoppers before they lapse and pull them back to buy again.

### Can I win back customers who have not ordered in a while?

Yes. The rule engine sets earning and redemption conditions by customer, order, product, and collection, so you target lapsing segments with a specific offer. Pair it with Shopify Flow to automate the outreach the moment a customer goes quiet.

### Do points expire, and can I use that to drive urgency?

You set points to expire, which gives customers a clear deadline to redeem. A time-boxed balance turns a dormant account into a reason to reorder now rather than someday, without discounting your whole catalog.

### How do customers know they have rewards waiting?

Joy issues Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes that show a live point balance in the customer's pocket, and the program surfaces across 30+ on-site touchpoints such as the cart drawer, checkout, and account page. Shopify Flow automates the notifications that bring shoppers back.

### Will the loyalty program match my store's brand?

Yes. Joy runs on a native Online Store 2.0 loyalty page that inherits your theme's fonts, colors, and reward names, and every widget carries your logo and colors. Customers see your brand, not ours, at every step back to a repeat order.
