In order to access your Points Program settings go to Line Loyalty app > Loyalty Program.



🏷️ Points Name

Default value: points
This setting controls the label displayed to customers on the storefront, such as in your loyalty widget or customer portal.


Example:

  • If you enter “Beauty Points”, customers will see “Beauty Points” and “You have 100 Points”.

  • Default name: Points

💡 Tip: Use a term that matches your brand’s tone, such as Credits, Coins, or Rewards.



🧮 Point Calculation for Orders

Field: Point calculation for orders
Determines which parts of an order total count toward earning loyalty points.


Options:

  • Exclude shipping — Points are calculated on the subtotal excluding shipping charges.

  • Exclude taxes — Points are calculated on the subtotal excluding tax amounts.

Example:

If a customer spends $120 (including $10 shipping and $5 tax) and both options are checked:

Points will be calculated on $105 only.


💡 Tip: Most merchants exclude shipping and taxes to ensure customers only earn points on product value.



🚫 Exclude Customers

Field: Exclude customers
Allows you to exclude specific customers or groups from earning or redeeming points based on Shopify customer tags.


How to Use:

  1. Enter one or more customer tags (e.g., wholesale, staff, VIP).

  2. Customers with these tags will not earn or redeem points.

Example:

Adding the tag wholesale will prevent all wholesale customers from participating in the loyalty program.


💡 Tip: Use this for internal testers, employees, or B2B groups where loyalty points shouldn’t apply.



⏳ Point Expiry

Field: Point expiry
Sets how long customers can keep their points before they expire due to inactivity.


Options:

  • Never expire — Points remain valid indefinitely.

  • Expire after X months — Points expire automatically if the customer is inactive for a specified number of months.

Example:

If you set expiry to 12 months, a customer who doesn’t earn or redeem points for 12 months will lose their points balance and it will be reset to 0.


💡 Tip: Expiry encourages repeat purchases and re-engagement. Communicate this clearly in your loyalty program terms.


🧠 Best Practices

  • Keep your points name consistent across marketing materials and emails.

  • Regularly review excluded tags to ensure your rules align with your customer segments.

  • Consider enabling point expiry to increase customer engagement.

  • Always test new configurations with a test customer account before going live.
