Once loyalty is [configured](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/shopify-configuration.md), your customers see it in your store, in the blocks you added in the Shopify theme editor. This page walks through what a shopper experiences. ## Joining A shopper can join right where they shop: in the **floating launcher** panel, in the **loyalty page** block, and in the **cart** block. What they see depends on whether they are signed in. ### A signed-in shopper A shopper who is signed in and has no loyalty card sees: > You are not a member yet. Joining is free. > > Earn 1% cashback on every order Under it is a **Join \{store name}** button. The second line is your program's own value line, so it changes with your setup. When the shopper presses the button, their loyalty card is created at once. No order is needed. The panel then switches to their card, with their points balance and the ways to earn. It shows: > Welcome! Your loyalty card is ready. We also sent it to your email. Below it is a link, **Add the card to your phone wallet**. The card email is sent to the shopper too. ### A shopper who is not signed in A shopper who is not signed in sees the value line, a **Join \{store name}** button, and **Already a member? Sign in**. * **Join** opens your store's Shopify sign-up. * **Sign in** is for shoppers who already have an account. In the cart, they can also tick **"Sign me up for the loyalty program when I place this order"**. Then their card is created when that order is paid. ### Other ways to join * **On first purchase.** With **Auto-enrol on first purchase** on, a new customer with an email who did not tick the box is also enrolled and gets their card and welcome email as soon as their first order is paid. * **As a guest.** With **Allow guests at checkout** on, someone who checks out without signing in can still tick the box, earn points, and receive their card by email. To redeem later, they sign in. With it off, the box is hidden and only signed-in shoppers can join. > [!NOTE] > > A customer who ticks **"Sign me up for the loyalty program when I place this order"** is enrolled when the order is paid, as long as the order has an email address. If **Auto-enrol on first purchase** is off and they do not tick the box, the order is a normal purchase and no card is created. See [Configuring loyalty](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/shopify-configuration.md). > [!NOTE] > > **Good to know** > > * The **Join** button does not need **Auto-enrol on first purchase**. A signed-in shopper can always join with the button. > * The Shopify theme editor shows the signed-out view. The editor previews your store without a signed-in customer, so you do not see the **Join** button for signed-in shoppers there. A signed-in shopper without a card sees the Join button in the launcher panel The Join button and opt-in checkbox in the cart ## Seeing what they will earn On a product page, a small badge shows the reward for buying, for example *"Earn 12 points (\~0.12 back)."* It helps shoppers see the value before they add to cart. The badge appears only in stores with **Cashback rewards** turned on, after you add the **Product earn badge** block in the Shopify theme editor (see [Configuring loyalty](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/shopify-configuration.md)). ## Earning points When a member's order is paid, VEXiON cards adds the points automatically. The points land on the customer's loyalty card and the new balance appears in their Apple or Google Wallet. Nothing is scanned. ### Earning faster with tiers If your cashback card has **levels**, customers earn at a rate that goes up as they climb levels. A higher-tier member earns more points for the same spend than a new member. Shoppers see this on the storefront, for example *"Earn up to 30 points (3x as Gold)"* or, for someone not yet a member, *"Get up to 5% cashback as a Gold member."* The **floating launcher** shows a member their current **tier** and a **progress bar** toward the next one, so they can see how close they are to earning even faster. Once they reach the top tier, it simply thanks them for getting there. A member's tier and progress in the launcher Redeeming works exactly the same as for a flat cashback card, using the points slider in the cart. ## Redeeming in the cart Redeeming happens in the **cart**, before checkout, in the in-cart loyalty panel. What a member sees depends on which mechanics you turned on: * **Cashback rewards:** a slider to choose how many points to spend, with a live preview of the money off. * **Tier discount:** their tier's discount, with a progress bar toward the next tier. It is applied automatically when Tier discount is the only mechanic turned on. When several mechanics are on, the customer chooses one benefit in the cart. * **Gift card balance:** a field to apply some or all of their gift-card balance. > [!NOTE] > > **One benefit per order.** A customer either earns points or redeems one benefit on a given order, not both. > [!NOTE] > > If a customer has more than one eligible card, the panel lets them pick which one to use. ```mermaid theme={null} %%{init: {'theme':'base','themeVariables':{'primaryColor':'#E5F6FF','primaryBorderColor':'#36C6FA','primaryTextColor':'#1F1E1F','lineColor':'#36C6FA','fontFamily':'Manrope, sans-serif'}}}%% flowchart TD A[Member opens the cart] --> B[In-cart loyalty panel]:::vexion B --> C[Chooses a reward, discount, or gift balance]:::vexion C --> D[Discount is applied to the order total]:::vexion D --> E[Checks out and pays the reduced amount] classDef vexion fill:#36C6FA,color:#fff,stroke:#2BA8D9; ``` ## At checkout The applied benefit shows as a discount line on the order, named after the benefit, for example `VEXiON loyalty (-€5.00)`, `VEXiON tier discount (-10%)`, or `VEXiON gift card (-€10.00)`. When Tier discount is the only mechanic turned on, the line shows the tier name as written on the card, for example Gold. The customer pays the reduced total as usual. ## After the order On the thank-you page after payment, a short banner confirms what happened, such as points earned, a reward redeemed, or a gift-card balance used. New members are offered an **Add to Wallet** button so they can save their card straight away. From then on, the customer's loyalty card stays in sync: every online order updates the same balance they see in store.
