I run an online pet supply store on Shopify and I'm looking to set up a loyalty points program to bring customers back for repeat purchases. Pet owners restock regularly so it feels like a missed opportunity not to have something in place.

I want customers to earn points on purchases, get bonus points for reviews and referrals, and be able to redeem them for discounts. Ideally with some kind of tiered system for top spenders.

For those who have set this up, a few questions:

1. Which app do you recommend and why?

2. How well does it integrate with email marketing tools?

3. Did you actually see an improvement in repeat purchases after launching?

4. Anything you wish you knew before getting started?

Appreciate any advice from store owners who have been through this!

so i'm student but also work part time at airport and have to be there around 4:30 am which means leaving my place near elmwood at like 4:15. my route goes through summer street that becomes best street and then i get in 33 to airport.

the thing that makes me so frustrated is these traffic lights. every single morning i get stopped at practically every red light on this stretch. when i calculated the time, hitting all reds adds about 6-7 minutes to what should be 4 minute drive. doesn't sound like much but when you're already tired and there's basically no other cars in road at that hour, it feels ridiculous.

i keep thinking they could make these lights sensor-activated or even just put flashing stop signs during overnight hours. sitting alone at red light in 4 am when intersection is completely empty just seems like waste of everyone's time.

maybe i'm just being impatient because i'm not morning person, but this small thing really gets under my skin every day. anyone else deal with similar stuff on their commute?
