Why this matters
Joy Loyalty and Fullbalance, a Japan-based Shopify Partner, have entered a partnership. Fullbalance builds the Shopify store and Joy adds the loyalty program on top of it, so the path to a repeat purchase is part of the store from launch.
Launch with loyalty already built in
Fullbalance and Joy design the loyalty program in parallel with the storefront structure and the checkout experience. Loyalty messaging and participation paths are in place from the start, so you run retention programs right after launch.
Run a program customers understand
Joy sets clear rules for earning points and a simple reward flow, with tiers and referral programs for continued engagement. In-store widgets show customers their progress at every stage of the purchase journey.
Personalize rewards without complex rules
Shopify Flow triggers such as birthdays, tier upgrades and point expiry deliver rewards on time. Fullbalance presents the benefits and conditions inside the storefront, so they stay clear to customers.
Start with one Shopify Flow trigger, such as a customer's birthday or a tier upgrade, and attach a reward to it. The reward arrives on time without a complex rule set.
