Display earned points at checkout
Displaying the potential points customers can earn from their order on the checkout page helps them understand the immediate rewards they’ll receive. By showing how many points they will earn with their purchase, this feature encourages customers to make the most of their loyalty program benefits right at the point of transaction. Benefits:
  • Increases Order Value: Showing potential points encourages customers to add more items to their cart to maximize their rewards, leading to higher average order value.
  • Boosts Loyalty Program Engagement: By highlighting the rewards they’ll earn, customers are more likely to engage with the loyalty program and make repeat purchases to accumulate more points.
