Loyalty Programs are more important than ever
The global loyalty management market is on pace to grow by $4.4 billion from 2021 to 2026.
Why is that?
In part, because acquiring customers is getting more expensive. Third-party cookies are on their way out, diminishing the quality of targeting data and measurement solutions for advertising. And ad impressions are getting more expensive too, as the media giants siphon off measurement capabilities to bait advertisers into consolidating their spend.
Against this backdrop, first-party channels and data collection are of heightened importance to marketing leaders and their C-suites. They are turning to loyalty programs as the most logical and effective channel for driving business growth and building data-rich relationships with consumers.
Enterprises are choosing Shopify Plus
Shopify has long been understood to be one of the most user-friendly and powerful e-commerce platforms. Now, more and more large retail, CPG and direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands are choosing Shopify’s enterprise offering, Shopify Plus, to operate their e-commerce channels.

A clear gap for enterprise loyalty on Shopify
Unlike other commerce platforms, Shopify relies exclusively on its partner ecosystem to deliver loyalty solutions to merchants. But enterprise brands on Shopify have historically lacked a suitable loyalty platform to meet their needs, and the ecosystem is split between polar opposite solutions.
On one end of the spectrum, inexpensive, yet inflexible platforms like Yotpo, Smile, and LoyaltyLion offer templates for standing up basic points and tier-based programs. These platforms are easy to justify for the SMB market, but lack the robust features & campaign-based functionality needed at the enterprise level.
On the other side of the spectrum, platforms like Annex Cloud and Zinrelo, which serve enterprise brands in many other contexts, can be expensive, difficult to implement and even more difficult to use.
