When it comes to running a business in the competitive world of eCommerce and selling online, getting a customer to make a purchase is great but having them come back consistently is what builds a brand that lasts.
If you’re running a Wix store, you have a powerful, built-in tool at your fingertips to make this happen. Wix provides built-in loyalty and rewards programs for online stores that enables eCommerce businesses to easily create customer loyalty programs. They also support reward points systems that encourage repeat purchases.
Here's how to set up and optimize your Wix Loyalty Program to keep your customers coming back for more.

Go to Loyalty Program in your site's dashboard.

How to optimize your customer loyalty program with Wix eCommerce
01. Incentives to earn
A loyalty program is only as effective as the incentives it offers. With Wix, you can tailor Ways to Earn to match your specific online sales goals.
While most programs focus on spending, you can reward customers for various actions:
Purchases: The standard "Earn X points for every $1 spent."
Site engagement: Reward customers for becoming a site member or signing up for a newsletter.
Specific business actions: If you use other Wix features, you can reward customers for booking a session (Wix Bookings), placing a restaurant order or even RSVPing to an event.
Social and personal: Give points for following your social media channels or celebrating a birthday.
Pro Tip: Use Wix Automations to create even more creative ways to earn, ensuring your program feels dynamic and engaging. Wix supports reward points systems that encourage repeat purchases.
02. Customer rewards
Rewards are the prizes customers receive when they hit a point milestone. These are then issued as coupons that can be applied at checkout. When selling online with Wix you can offer a wide range of customer rewards:
Percentage discounts: (e.g., 15% off a booking or service).
Fixed amount off: (e.g., $10 off your next purchase).
Free shipping: A major incentive for online shoppers.
When a customer earns enough points, they’ll see their available rewards on their personal "My Rewards" page and receive an automated email with a code to copy and paste.
03. Level up your loyalty program
Want to encourage your super-fans to spend even more? Use Loyalty Tiers because
by creating levels (like Bronze, Silver and Gold), you gamify the experience.
Customers in higher tiers can earn points at a faster rate or unlock exclusive rewards, making them feel like VIPs.
04. Customize the experience
Your loyalty program shouldn't feel like a third-party add-on it should be a seamless part of your brand. Wix adds two specific pages to your site when you install the program:
The Loyalty Program Page: This is your "Sales Pitch." It’s where visitors learn how the program works and how to join.
The My Rewards Page: This is the member’s dashboard. Here, they can see their points total, track their progress and claim their coupons.
Customization tip: In the Wix Editor, you can change the design, fonts and colors of these pages. You can even customize the Points Icon to match your brand, for example, selling coffee? Use a coffee bean icon to brand it.
05. Manage your online community
As a store owner, you have full control from your Wix Dashboard or the Wix Owner App:
Manual adjustments: You can manually give points to a customer to thank them for a review or correct an offline purchase.
Performance tracking: View your list of participants and see who your most loyal customers are.
Pause and resume: If you need to revamp your strategy, you can "Inactivate" the program at any time and resume it later.
