Why growing businesses choose Growave over LoyaltyLion for customer loyalty

“With my site's design, we wanted the cleanest possible mobile look. This left me with LoyaltyLion or Growave as options for a loyalty points app that can be embedded in its own page or menu. I reached out to the team, and they promptly made all required changes the same day. For a fraction of the price of other major loyalty apps, you get rewards, reviews, and wishlist features all in one. The quality of the app and the team are unbeatable. Highly recommended, and I’ll be a customer for life as our store grows. Thanks so much, Growave!”

Reasons to choose Growave over LoyaltyLion

Best-in-Class Shopify POS Integration

Unlock effortless in-store loyalty with Growave’s best-in-class Shopify POS integration. Instantly assign and redeem points or discounts at checkout, all fully synced with your online store. No manual work, no clunky processes, just a smooth and unified experience.

With our Loyalty QR feature, sign-ups are frictionless. Customers simply scan a QR code, join your loyalty program in seconds, and redeem rewards right at the register. It’s loyalty made easy for you and your customers.

Multi-Language

LoyaltyLion offers limited multi-language support, which can be frustrating for stores selling internationally. Even if you translate the program, it won’t fully support a multilingual storefront. Growave makes it easy with built-in translations for both the storefront and admin, and you can request additional languages anytime.

Better checkout and account extensions

LoyaltyLion offers only basic checkout and account extensions. Growave takes it further by showing social proof at checkout and keeping customers engaged with account and order page features like points balance, rewards, VIP tiers, and referral links. You can also request reviews from the order page and display earned points from past orders, powerful retention tools LoyaltyLion doesn’t offer.

Flexibility

Growave is a highly flexible retention platform, allowing you to customize nearly every aspect of your loyalty program.

Our team of developers and designers is ready to help you create a truly unique experience tailored to your brand’s needs. Unlike others, we offer custom loyalty page design and implementation starting from our mid-tier plan, giving you more control without extra hassle.

Trusted by Industry Leaders

We work with fast-growing and globally recognized brands such as Lego, Sony, Xiaomi, Toys "R" Us, Stanley, Dermalogica, and more.

Powerful and Modern API

Growave offers a best-in-class API with no legacy limitations, built for seamless integration and scalability. Our developer toolkit includes webhooks, Shopify Flow, REST API, front-end JavaScript SDK, and metafields, all backed by comprehensive documentation for smooth implementation.

“I’ve installed well over 100 apps while testing and tweaking over the past month and I’ve battled royally with many customer service agents, some good, some woeful. But Growave has by far offered the best support I’ve experienced in all my time on Shopify. And the app itself? Holy smokes. There’s so much packed in that I actually cancelled four other standalone apps, cutting my costs by 75%. The loyalty app is better than Smile, Marsello, or LoyaltyLion and with all the added features it’s a heck of a lot more affordable too.”
