Integrating with LoyaltyLion to reward reviews with loyalty points

Give customers loyalty points in LoyaltyLion for the reviews they leave.

The LoyaltyLion integration lets LoyaltyLion give customers points for their reviews. It gives customers a reason to write a review.


How the LoyaltyLion integration works

Here's how a review earns points in LoyaltyLion:

  1. A customer leaves a review.

  2. Judge.me checks the review against 2 of your reward settings in Judge.me: Who can receive coupons and Which reviews trigger a discount. The review doesn't need to be published.

  3. If the review qualifies, Judge.me sends LoyaltyLion the customer's email through the LoyaltyLion API, and LoyaltyLion adds the points set in your judgeme_review custom rule.

  4. Each review earns points once, even when a customer reviews several products from the same order.


Considerations

Before you set up the LoyaltyLion integration, review the following considerations:

  • This integration is available on the Judge.me Reviews Awesome plan and the LoyaltyLion Classic plan or higher.

  • Judge.me coupons aren't generated while LoyaltyLion is enabled.

  • The coupon banner in Smart styling review request emails promotes Judge.me-generated coupons only. While LoyaltyLion is enabled, turn off Show coupon in smart review request emails on the Coupons page. To tell customers they can earn LoyaltyLion points, add that to your review request email text.

  • Judge.me doesn't send an API request for imported and synced reviews.
