Do I need to code any points earning or spending logic?

No, the Smile platform takes care of rewarding customers points for performing actions within your store. All you need to do is send Smile customer and order events as they happen and we’ll take care of making sure customers get the correct number of points.

Do I need to build any UI components

Smile.io provides a handful of front-end widgets that you can add to your store website. All points spending happens within a pop-up widget that we provide which can be customized by the merchant in our visual editor within Smile Admin. This means you don’t need to code anything on the frontend beyond adding some Smile.io JavaScript to your website.

Do I need to integrate with my checkout?

Most rewards customers can spend their points on are in the form of coupon codes or gift card codes. Customers will spend their points through the Smile pop-up in exchange for a coupon code or gift card. Customers will apply this code on checkout which keeps things super simple. No custom cart or checkout integration needed on your end!
