Seamless Free Product rewards are supported by LoyaltyLion POS and can either be script-based, or variant-based, depending on your Shopify plan level and configuration.

Script-based Seamless Free Product rewards are only available to Shopify Plus merchants with Shopify Scripts enabled and integrated with LoyaltyLion. For more information on how to do this, see here.

This type of reward can be only redeemed and used from within the Loyalty App tile (the tile with the points balance).

LoyaltyLion POS app supports the "Add points" button, where a merchant in the brick and mortar store can give extra points to customers for whatever reason they like. Points are immediately rewarded and can be used with the purchase in the store.

Apps on Shopify POS are split into various “tiles”. The LoyaltyLion Shopify POS app supports 3 tiles:

The “App Website” tile links the user directly to the LoyaltyLion merchant admin where they would be able to access all of the usual merchant admin functionality (including giving points).

We understand that as the store owner you might want to give different permissions to your employees. This is why we can help you hide the "add points" button and LoyaltyLion admin view in the POS app.

In order to disable the "add points" button and restrict the LL admin view from POS, follow the steps below:

Alternatively you can manually edit the permissions, but you want to make sure that Settings → Customize smart grid for device’s location is denied:

Customers will be given a guest account if they are signed up via POS. If the customer then makes a purchase, they are given an 'enrolled' LoyaltyLion account, even if they have not got a full Shopify account created on the website.

This is different from the online method, in which customers need to have a full Shopify account in order to be enrolled in LoyaltyLion. The reason for this is to ensure that POS customers, who may not visit your store's website, can still make use of the loyalty program.

Note: Customer Name, email, phone number and address is shown in Shopify POS under their customer account. However, their birthday information is not shown.

Q. How do customers claim/redeem a reward in-store using Shopify POS?
The cashier finds the customer account by email address. Once the customer is selected, rewards can be redeemed by accessing LoyaltyLion on the main screen.
​Note: all POS-ready rewards that the customer can access will be displayed.

Q. If a customer earns points in-store do they automatically get updated in their online account in real time?
Yes

Q. Do I need to do anything special to ensure my customers receive points?
If a new customer purchases from your physical store for the first time, all you need to do is create a Shopify account for them on the POS interface using their email address.
​
If the customer was already an online customer, entering their email upon checkout will ensure he/she collects points for the purchase on their account.

​Q. If a customer only buys from us in store, do they still have to go online to register or will it still be tracked just in the POS system?
​ If a customer buys from you in-store and they give an email address, we'll track them and give them points. If they come back in-store again and you find them (by name, email, etc), you can open up LoyaltyLion within the POS app and use their points there and then. Optionally, they can register for a full account online (with the same email) and have access to their points there too.

​Q. Can multiple LoyaltyLion discounts be applied to a single order?
 No, but we hope to support this in the future.

​Q. Can a customer use a discount in-store that they claimed online?
 Yes. If a customer has used their points to claim a voucher online but has not yet used that voucher, it will appear in the list and can be applied to the POS order.

​Q. Can a LoyaltyLion discount be partially applied?
 No, you'll only be able to add the discount to the order if the current cost of the order is equal to the discount's value or higher. If the cart value changes after the discount has been applied, it will be removed.

Q. Is there a limit to how many POS locations I can have?

No, there's no limit.

Q. What if I have more than one store?
You can add all of your stores to have one unified loyalty program.
​

​Q. If a customer signs up online with the same email as they've used in-store,  will the points be synced?
Once the customer has created their account online, they'll share points and rewards with their POS account (it's the same account).

Q. If someone purchases on POS, will they appear in customers section in LL?
A customer will be a 'guest' when they sign in POS but as soon as they make a purchase they will enrol.
