Four releases that change how retention works on your store

The features we bet the roadmap on. Each one opens a channel your loyalty program couldn’t reach before — and five more follow.

01
/ 09 · STORE CREDIT

Store credit, everywhere your customers spend

Shopify made store credit native. We made it a retention engine: earnable, spendable, and measurable across every channel.

  • Store credit as a reward

    Let members cash points out as credit that spends like money

  • Store credit in referrals

    Reward advocates and their friends in credit, not coupon codes

  • Store credit at POS

    Variable discounts and credit redemption at the register

  • Store credit analytics

    Issued, redeemed, and outstanding balances at a glance

Coupons get forgotten.
Credit comes back.

Loyalty finally speaks B2B

Wholesale buyers are your most valuable repeat customers, yet loyalty apps have ignored them. Growave brings points and wishlists to Shopify B2B.

  • B2B Points

    Company accounts earn and redeem on wholesale orders

  • B2B Wishlist

    Buyers save and share planned orders with their team

One platform for DTC and wholesale retention.

Video Reviews + AI Review Summaries

Shoppers trust faces more than stars. Collect video reviews from real customers, and let AI distill hundreds of reviews into the three lines a shopper actually reads.

AI summary of customer reviews

Buyers consistently praise the fit and the weight of the fabric, and several mention it holds shape after repeated washes. The most common criticism is that the sizing runs slightly small — a number of reviewers suggest ordering one size up.

  • Punch card progress

    Visible streaks that pull customers back

Features tell. Merchants sell.

How real stores turn these releases into repeat revenue.

We put loyalty data into WhatsApp messages through Klaviyo, so points balances reach customers where they actually read.
BAGSMART
Loyalty-powered WhatsApp messaging via the Growave × Klaviyo integration
Read the Bagsmart case study

Growave data flows into Klaviyo as events and profile properties, so loyalty shows up in email, SMS, WhatsApp, and even printed receipts. One merchant prints the customer’s points balance on every receipt using our public API. Your program is only as visible as the channels it lives in.
