This checklist walks you through everything you need before going live with JeriCommerce Loyalty. The default Shopify launch path is to configure your loyalty program, publish a Loyalty Hub surface, design and distribute wallet passes, then add optional placements only when they support a specific customer journey.
1. Overview of Your Stack¶
Before starting, confirm the tools you'll use:
- Shopify or Shopify Plus
- JeriCommerce Wallet (installed from the Shopify App Store)
- JeriCommerce Loyalty (built-in loyalty platform)
- Automation platform: Klaviyo or Shopify Flow (optional but recommended)
2. Loyalty Program Setup¶
JeriCommerce Loyalty is the built-in loyalty engine. It's designed for brands that want a simple, integrated way to manage points, rewards, and loyalty flows directly within the JeriCommerce platform — without relying on third-party providers.
Set Up Your Store & Labels¶
- Choose to create a new loyalty program during the onboarding flow.
- Set up your store settings and basic loyalty program labels from the onboarding flow or the JeriCommerce admin.
- Labels include program and points name.
Create Earning Flows¶
- You can create your first earning flows from the onboarding process.
- Open the Earning Flows section in JeriCommerce admin.
- Set up point-earning rules for key actions:
- Purchases (based on amount spent)
- Referrals (reward customers when a referred friend joins)
Optional: VIP Tiers¶
You can expand your program by adding status levels to reward your community.
- Define your tiers (e.g., Bronze, Silver, Gold) based on total spend or points earned.
- Set thresholds and recalculation cycles to automate customer progression.
Set Up Rewards¶
- You can create your first rewards from the onboarding process.
- Add custom rewards customers can redeem with points.
- Rewards will be accessible from the Loyalty Hub and wallet pass.

Publish the Shopify Loyalty Hub¶
The Shopify Loyalty Hub is the main Shopify experience for new JeriCommerce launches. Start here before adding the standalone widget or individual account blocks.
- Storefront hub — Add the hub to a Shopify Online Store page so guests can understand the program and logged-in customers can check points, tier points, tier status, complete earning actions, and redeem rewards.
- Customer account hub — Add the Loyalty Hub link to Shopify New Customer Accounts when customers should manage loyalty from their account area.
- Customization — Use the Shopify theme editor and the storefront hub CSS starter to align the default hub with the merchant's theme.
Optional Shopify Add-ons¶
Add smaller extensions only when you need a placement outside the hub:
- Points Accumulation Extensions — Show real-time earning potential on product and cart pages. Setting up Points Accumulation Extensions
- Checkout Rewards — Recommended for Shopify Plus merchants. Let customers redeem available rewards directly at checkout, where the purchase decision happens. Setting up Checkout Rewards Extensions
- Storefront Widget — Keep this for floating, deep-linked, or legacy widget journeys. The hub already covers the main reward, status, and earning-action experience. How to use the JeriCommerce Storefront Widget
- Account Blocks — Use separate account blocks only when the store is not using the customer account hub or needs a narrow account-page placement. Setting up the Account Loyalty Block
3. Loyalty Card Design and Setup¶
Customize Your Loyalty Card¶
- Use the Loyalty Card Designer in the JeriCommerce admin.
- Customize your brand colors, logos, and messaging.
Add Key Links to the Pass¶
Set up sections and links embedded in the Loyalty Card for quick access to:
- Shopify login (Multipass login if on Shopify Plus)
- Customer profile or subscription page
- Loyalty Hub or rewards profile
- Product or landing pages
4. Wallet Download Links¶
You can distribute wallet passes using dynamic or static links.

Distribution options:

5. Marketing Automation Integration¶
