Your loyalty points just got a whole lot more powerful.

We’re excited to announce the new Smile x Virtue integration: A way for customers to turn everyday loyalty points into meaningful impact. With Virtue, you can now offer rewards beyond discounts: letting shoppers support the causes they care about most.

Points with Purpose

Traditionally, loyalty points have been about saving money at checkout. That’s still true, but now they can be so much more. With this integration, your customers can:

🌍 Donate points to global and local charities.

💖 Support community initiatives.

🌱 Back sustainability efforts that make a lasting difference.

By giving customers the option to do good with their points, you deepen emotional loyalty, creating a connection that goes beyond transactions.

Why It Matters

Your customers want their purchases to reflect their values. With Smile x Virtue, you can meet them where they are by making generosity simple, accessible, and rewarding. Every point redeemed for good is a story your brand helps tell.

Easy to Set Up, Even Easier to Love

The Smile x Virtue integration is available today for merchants on Smile’s Growth and Plus plans. You'll also need to create a Virtue account. Setup takes just a few clicks, and once enabled, customers will see charity and impact options right alongside traditional rewards.

Because loyalty isn’t just about coming back, it’s about giving back.

We’re excited to announce the launch of Smile Loyalty Hub — a rich, personalized space where your customers can track their points, claim rewards, and explore their loyalty status right inside Shopify’s most advanced, modern customer account experience.

With Smile Loyalty Hub, loyalty is no longer confined to a floating button or hovering pop‑up. Instead, it becomes a dedicated destination inside your Shopify customer account, built to drive engagement and keep customers excited for rewards on their next purchase.

Points, Perks, and Progress — All in One Spot

Loyalty Hub gives customers a complete view of their rewards journey in one place:

• Track Points – Customers can see their current points balance at a glance, plus a detailed history of how they earned and spent them.
• Claim Rewards – Redeeming rewards is now frictionless. Available offers are displayed clearly, so customers can convert points into savings in just a few clicks.
• View VIP Status – Show off your VIP tiers and let customers know exactly how close they are to unlocking their next level.
• Discover Ways to Earn – Highlight the actions that keep customers engaged, from purchases to referrals.

Uniquely Yours. Perfectly On‑Brand.

Loyalty Hub automatically inherits your store’s theme for a seamless, on‑brand experience from day one. You also have full control over the look and feel. Choose fonts, colors, and section titles, so every detail reflects your brand and sparks excitement.

It’s also tailored to your exact program configuration, making your Loyalty Hub as unique as your loyalty program itself.

Quick to Launch. Built on Shopify’s Best.

Setting up Loyalty Hub takes just a few clicks — no code required. It’s built to work seamlessly with Shopify’s new, best‑in‑class customer accounts, so your loyalty program feels like a natural part of the account experience. Fully native integration means customers can explore their points, rewards, and status right where they already manage their order history and save personal details, creating a smooth, familiar journey from shop to reward.

In May, we announced a new partnership with Gatsby that made it easy for your customers to join your loyalty program directly through Instagram DMs. It was a first step in turning your social fans into loyalty members, creating a powerful new channel for growth.

Today, we're building on that release.

With the latest evolution of Smile x Gatsby, you can now reward real, verified social actions right on Instagram. When your customers follow you, mention your brand, or send a DM, you can say "thank you" with loyalty points—turning everyday social interactions into deeper brand relationships.

What's new?

• Reward points for Instagram DMs, mentions, and follows
• All actions are verified, tied to the customer’s Instagram handle
• Simple, secure setup in just a few clicks, no code required

Why this matters

Loyalty doesn’t just happen at checkout. It happens when a customer tags your product in a story, follows your latest launch, or shares your brand with their community.

Now, with Smile and Gatsby, you can recognize and reward those moments of advocacy in real time. It’s more than just points—it’s about celebrating your biggest fans and building connections that last beyond the sale.

Getting started

If you're new to Gatsby, it's simple to get started. Just create a Gatsby account, then follow Gatsby's setup guide to configure social action rewards.

If you already have the Gatsby integration set up, you can start using the new options to reward Instagram actions right away by selecting "Add ways to earn" in your program settings.

These features are available on Smile paid plans and require the Gatsby Standard plan.
