The Shogun integration is available to merchants on a LoyaltyLion Advanced plan and above. For more information on what is included in each plan, see our pricing page.
Implementing a headless loyalty program is a technical process that requires a developer.

Why Shogun?
Shogun software brings new possibilities for merchants looking to exceed the limits of modern ecommerce and deliver truly engaging shopping.
Shogun Frontend delivers the benefits of headless commerce without the headaches, transforming your store into a Progressive Web App (PWA) with greater merchandising capabilities, advanced content management, and strong performance.
Retailers have found that Shogun's platform approach lets them focus on revenue-driving activities rather than complex tech and overhead.
The benefits of integrating with Shogun
This integration gives Shogun Frontend merchants an easy way to use LoyaltyLion's features on their headless storefront. You can create a loyalty program within Shogun Frontend without an in-depth implementation, so you can focus on revenue and customer engagement.
Merchants using Shogun have found the integration:
increased their site speed
improved customer experiences
enhanced customer engagement
boosted average order value
decreased page load time
Unsupported features
Shogun does not support any reward that adds a product directly to the customer's cart.
Not supported at all. These add products directly to the cart, so they must not be present in your program:
Partially supported:
Voucher rewards, specifically free product and product discount. Adding the product to the cart from the modal will fail. One workaround is to hide that section from the customer by setting the element to
display: nonewith CSS. See the SDK guide.Referee welcome modal. It has a button that adds a product to the cart automatically, which is not supported. The customer must enter the code at checkout instead.
Custom rewards. Your developers will need to set up a custom webhook.
How to integrate Shogun with LoyaltyLion
Most of the installation takes place in the Shogun backend, so we recommend a web developer installs this headless integration.
You will need your LoyaltyLion token and secret:
Log in to LoyaltyLion
Go to Manage
Find Configuration and select Settings
Scroll down to find your token and secret
The full installation instructions are on Shogun's site.
How does the Shogun integration work?
The Shogun integration can speed up page load time for your loyalty program and lets you focus on the front end, where most of the customer experience sits. It works like a usual LoyaltyLion installation, with support for nearly all features apart from those listed above.
On Shopify, if a customer redeems a product voucher they will need to add the product to their cart from the Shopify product page rather than from the LoyaltyLion pop-up.
