# Growave: All-in-One Retention Platform for Shopify Brands Growave is a retention and loyalty platform built natively for Shopify and Shopify Plus.

Trusted by 15,000+ Shopify brands including Stanley, LEGO, Dermalogica, Under Armour, Saucony, and Birkenstock. Rated 4.8/5 on the Shopify App Store with 12+ years of retention expertise.
