Case Study of LoyaltyLion Integration with Shopify
At The Brihaspati Infotech, we developed a custom app to integrate the LoyaltyLion loyalty program with the client’s Shopify store. Here’s how we implemented the solution:
Step 1: Retrieved LoyaltyLion API Keys
We developed a custom app to connect LoyaltyLion with Shopify. We accessed the LoyaltyLion dashboard to retrieve API keys (Token and Secret). These keys were used to authenticate and establish secure communication between the Shopify store and LoyaltyLion.
Step 2: Integrated LoyaltyLion API Keys into Shopify
We integrated the LoyaltyLion API keys into Shopify through our custom app. It ensured a secure connection between the two platforms for real-time tracking of customer activities.
Step 3: Updated LoyaltyLion Integration in Shopify
We edited the loyaltylion.liquid file in Shopify’s theme settings. It ensures our custom app syncs customer actions, such as purchases or interactions, with LoyaltyLion software for reward tracking.
Step 4: Created Custom Rules for Engaging with Brand on Instagram in LoyaltyLion
We created custom rules in LoyaltyLion eCommerce loyalty software to reward customers for social media engagement, such as liking or following the brand on Instagram. These rules encourage more user engagement and brand visibility on Instagram.
Step 5: Configured Extra Brand Loyalty Rules
We extended the app’s capabilities by configuring additional loyalty rules within the LoyaltyLion dashboard, such as rewarding points for creating an account or making purchases. These rules are essential for building customer loyalty and increasing user engagement.
Step 6: Tested and Monitored Integration
We continued to monitor the store performance with the eCommerce loyalty software. Our rigorous testing ensured all actions, such as points allocation, were synced between Shopify and LoyaltyLion.
