A points balance has to live somewhere, and on Shopify that somewhere is usually a metafield belonging to the app. This matters more than it sounds. When an app is uninstalled Shopify removes its metafield definitions and makes no guarantee about how long the values behind them are kept, with the cleanup running in the background afterwards. In the ordinary case your customers' balances are the app's data sitting inside your store rather than yours.

There is one exception worth hunting for. Shopify now keeps a real store credit ledger of its own, with a balance the theme can read and its own record of credits, debits and expiry. A reward issued into that outlives the app that issued it. Several listings advertise store credit without saying which of the two they mean, and the difference is between a reward your customers keep and a number that disappears with the subscription.

What to look for in a Smile.io app

Ask which store credit it means: Shopify's own ledger and an app's internal tally are both called store credit in listing copy. Only one of them is still there if you switch apps, and only one is visible to anything other than the app that created it. This is the first question, not a technical footnote.
Where the customer sees their balance: Customer accounts are the surface Shopify itself points loyalty apps at, naming a points balance and a membership level as examples of what belongs there. The older account pages that some apps still build on are being retired, so an app whose widget only works on those is on a clock, and it is worth asking which it uses.
How points become money off: Redemption ends up as a discount, and a store has a fixed budget of discount functions to spend across everything it runs. If you already have bundles, volume pricing and a shipping promotion in place, ask how many of those slots the loyalty app expects, and how its discounts behave next to the ones you already have.
What leaving looks like: Every programme here ends the same way eventually, and customers do not forget a balance they earned. Before launching, find out what an export contains and whether another app could import it, because that answer is the real cost of the programme and nobody puts it on the pricing page.

What does the Built for Shopify badge mean?

Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use, and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring ones with the badge is a safe default. Learn more about the Built for Shopify badge →
