We are excited to announce that Smile.io is now Built for Shopify. Built for Shopify is the highest quality certification that Shopify offers for apps, and we’ve invested in making sure that Smile.io exceeds all of the requirements.
It’s not simple to take an at-scale app and meet the strict Built for Shopify requirements, but it’s been well worth the effort for our merchants. There are only 533 apps out of thousands that have the Built for Shopify badge.
So, what does this mean for Smile.io’s 100,000+ merchants?
Plus Certified x Built for Shopify
We’re now the only Built for Shopify loyalty app to also meet the Shopify Plus Certified App requirements. If you're a fast-growing merchant, both of these are essential for any loyalty partner you choose to work with as you grow.
Site speed and performance
If you’re running a fast-growing or Enterprise brand, then you know every second counts on your website. This is why you obsess over checkout times and why you’ve probably migrated to Shopify for their checkout. Loyalty should be no different. Now, you can rely on Smile.io to deliver a blazing-fast loyalty, VIP, and membership experience for your shoppers.
Safety, security, and reliability
With our Built for Shopify status, you know that Smile.io is using your data responsibly. This is not always a given, as we often see when merchants migrate to Smile.io from other legacy loyalty or all-in-one marketing suite providers.
Often, the “boring” checkboxes of treating customer data with the appropriate security and safety protocols get forgotten as apps try to add another acquired app to their suite or sign a big merchant.
At Smile.io, we have thousands of Shopify Plus merchants who rely on us to handle customer data properly and use the minimum amount of PII to deliver the best loyalty and shopper UX.
Ease of use
Shopify has done great work to ensure that Built for Shopify apps adhere to strict ease-of-use and design guidelines. At Smile, we’ve been using Shopify’s Polaris framework for a while now, and it’s helped us deliver a consistent experience for our merchants.
So check us out in the app store, and see our new Built for Shopify badge! It’s right next to our 6000+ reviews and 4.9/5 star rating.
