âđŒHi Derek here, one of the members of the team of Loloyal, and I am privileged to share with you the moment of functional updates about Loloyal.

Weâre excited to roll out our latest update: Smart Tag Sync for VIP Tiers, which allows VIP tier tags to be automatically synced to your Shopify customer profiles. This unlocks more intelligent customer segmentation, supports layered pricing strategies via third-party apps, and enhances your ability to deliver personalized campaigns with ease.
Shopify tags is a powerful tool that enables you to efficiently organize and manage customers and orders within your Shopify admin. By tagging customers as they progress through different VIP tiers, you can easily identify and segment your most valuable customers for targeted marketing and improved service.
Benefits
Automatically syncing VIP tier tags from Loloyal to your Shopify customer profiles unlocks valuable capabilities across your business:
â Smarter customer segmentation
Use VIP tier tags (e.g., VIP-Bronze, VIP-Silver, VIP-Gold) to build dynamic customer groups and run more targeted, personalized campaigns.
â Seamless data sync across Apps
Tags stored in Shopify can be recognized by other tools in your stackâsuch as Klaviyo, Gorgias, or Rechargeâfor integrated workflows and consistent VIP experiences.
â Efficient customer support
Give your support team instant visibility into a customerâs loyalty status via their tag, enabling faster, more personalized service.
â Powerful automation with Shopify Flow
Trigger actions based on tag changesâsuch as sending a welcome email when a customer reaches VIP-Gold, or applying exclusive benefits automatically.
â Insightful reporting by tier
Filter Shopify reports by VIP tags to better understand purchase behavior and revenue contribution across loyalty levels.
How it works
When the VIP program and VIP tier tag sync feature are enabled, Loloyal will automatically sync the corresponding tier tag (e.g., VIP_Bronze, VIP_Silver, VIP_Gold) to the customer profile in your Shopify admin whenever a customerâs VIP tier changes.

â Whether a customer moves up or down a tier, their tag will be updated in real time to always reflect their current VIP statusâcompletely automated with no manual action required.
â If you wish to customize the tag names for each VIP tier, youâll need to first disable the VIP tier tag sync feature.
â For stores with a large customer base, please note that due to Shopify API rate limits, the initial sync may take approximately 1 day per 100,000 customers.
â To ensure each customer always reflects their most up-to-date VIP tier, Loloyal will first remove any previously synced tier tags from the customer during tier changes or full sync, and then apply the tags for the current tier.
Enabling VIP tier tag sync
To enable the VIP Tier Tag Sync feature in Loloyal, follow these steps:
- 1. Go to Loloyal Admin > VIP Program > VIP Tiers.
- 2. In the VIP Tiers list, select to edit each tier and assign a custom tag to it (e.g., VIP_Bronze, VIP_Silver, VIP_Gold).
đNote: Before modifying the VIP tags, you must first deactivate them. Go to Preferences-> Smart tags to turn it VIP tier tags sync function deactivate.
- 3. Then navigate to Loloyal Admin > Preferences > Smart Tags.
- 4. Enable the Smart Customer Tagging â VIP Tier Tags Sync option.
- 5. Finally, click the Save button to apply the changes.
Once enabled, Loloyal will automatically sync the correct VIP tier tag to the customerâs profile in Shopify whenever their tier changesâstreamlining customer segmentation and management.

âđŒHi Derek here, one of the members of the team of Loloyal, and I am privileged to share with you the moment of functional updates about Loloyal.

Weâre excited to introduce the latest updates to Loloyal! This release focuses on improving the overall experience for both buyers and merchants, empowering businesses to better manage loyalty programs while offering buyers a seamless and engaging way to participate. Here are the highlights of this update:
Loloyalâs fraud analysis helps you detect and prevent fraudulent referral activity, minimizing your programâs exposure to abuse and preserving the integrity of your reward system.
Why a Referral May Be Blocked
Loloyal automatically detects several high-risk indicators of referral fraud, including:

â High volume of referrals from the same IP address (more than 10 within 7 days)
If a referral is flagged as high-risk, it will be automatically blocked and shown in the Blocked section of your Loloyal Admin dashboard.
â The referral system prevents users from claiming rewards multiple times using the same email address.
How It Works
Logic Behind âNo Similar IP Addressesâ
To prevent users from creating multiple accounts on the same network (e.g., home Wi-Fi or public internet) to abuse referral rewards, the system uses IP address detection to identify abnormal behavior. This helps maintain the fairness and integrity of the referral program.
The anti-fraud check is activated when a referred user clicks âClaim nowâ, and may block reward claims at the following stages:
1. Email Submission Stage
When a user submits their email to claim the referral reward code, the system checks whether the IP address has a suspicious usage history.
2. Claim Attempt Limit
If the same IP address clicks âClaim nowâ more than 10 times under the same referral link, further claims will be blocked.

Verification Rules
â IP Activity in the Past 7 Days


â Within the same store, if an IP address has attempted to claim rewards more than 10 times in the past 7 days using the same referral link, the 11th attempt will be blocked.
â This restriction is tied to a specific store + referral link combination.
đNote:Â This restriction only applies to the current store. Claims from the same IP address in other stores will not be affected.
đââïž FAQs
â New Referral Link, New Chance
If the user switches to a different referral link within the same store, they will receive a new limit of 10 claim attempts. Each referral link has its own IP-based limit.
â Not Dependent on Order Placement
Whether or not the referred user places an order does not affect the IP validation. The check is based on account creation and claim attempt behavior.
â Restricted to Store and Referral Link Level
IP monitoring is enforced within the same store and specific referral link. If an IP is blocked under a referral link in Store A, it can still join referral programs in Store B or use other referral links in Store A. IP restrictions are not shared across stores. Each store independently enforces its own referral activity limits.

Weâre excited to introduce the latest updates to Loloyal! This release focuses on improving the overall experience for both buyers and merchants, empowering businesses to better manage loyalty programs while offering buyers a seamless and engaging way to participate. Here are the highlights of this update:
With customer acquisition costs on the rise, I'd like to share two data points:
The customer acquisition cost for Shopify merchants typically ranges from $10 to $50.
In the North American e-commerce market, the customer acquisition cost generally ranges from $20 to $100, with some industries even exceeding $100.
đ Finally, we've launched such an important update â the Referral Program! After the upgrade, it will create even better customer acquisition value for merchants.

đ The Referral Program leverages the power of word-of-mouth from existing customers to help stores attract new customers. By offering referral rewards, it encourages loyal customers to share the storeâs information, thereby achieving low-cost, high-efficiency customer growth.
âš Key Feature Highlights
New Referral Reward Popup Settings Center

- Interactive Referral Reward Popups: A newly added referral reward popup in your online store offers a more intuitive and seamless user experience, helping boost engagement and conversion rates.
- Branded Customization: Customize the popup design to match your brandâs style, ensuring consistency and enhancing user recognition and interaction.
Referral Progress & Reward Management Page

- Flexible Reward Control: Easily view and manage each referral record. Revoke mistakenly issued rewards with ease to maintain a fair and transparent incentive system.
Smart Referral Flow Monitoring System

- Automatic Suspicious Activity Detection: The system will automatically detect and block suspicious referral behavior, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the referral process.
- Manual Control via Admin Panel: Maintain full control by manually approving or rejecting referrals as needed, helping you keep your referral program healthy and secure.
đ Start Using NowïŒ
Go to the Loloyal backend â Program â Referral Module â Open the "Friends get reward Pop-up Settings" to immediately start using personalized popups and the new referral management features.

đââïž Referrer FAQs
Q: What if my friend places their first order without using the coupon? Will I still get the reward?
A: Yes, absolutely! As long as your friend registers through your referral link and completes their first order, youâll still receive the referral rewardâeven if they donât use the coupon.
đŻââïž Referred Friend FAQs
Q: I already have an account. Can I still use a referral link?
A: Referral links are only valid for new customers. If youâve already registered, the referral discount and reward wonât be applied.
đ Referral Link FAQs
Q: What is a referral link?
A: A referral link is a unique, trackable link generated for each referrer. Itâs tied to your account and ensures that successful referrals are correctly recorded when someone registers and places their first order.
Q: Is the referral link safe to use? Will it reveal any personal information?
A: Referral links are encrypted and secure. They are only used to track referrals and never expose your personal information or order history.
