10 Best Loyalty Apps for Shopify POS (2026), Compared

Froonze adds Shopify POS from $10 a month, and Apple and Google Wallet cards that staff scan at the register from $60, compared with $129 on Joy and $199 on Growave. Smile.io and Yotpo include POS on their free plans, with a catch: in-store orders count toward Smile's 200-order limit, and Yotpo's free plan is only for stores under 100 orders a month, with Pro at $199 above that.

We make Froonze, which is one of the apps on this list.

Shopify POS doesn't come with a points program of its own, so for points and rewards you need a loyalty app that connects to it.

A good POS loyalty app does three things. Staff can find the customer in seconds, by email, phone number or a scanned card. Points and rewards work the same way in store and online. And the price doesn't jump when you get busier or open another shop. Most apps put POS on a paid plan, and some only on a $129 or $199 one, so we compared what POS costs at different store sizes.

For each app, we show which plan includes POS, what works at the register, who it's best for, and what merchants complain about in their 1 to 3 star reviews. Prices come from each app's App Store listing and pricing page, checked November 2 to 6, 2026, and we read every 1 to 3 star review each app got since May 2025. If you don't sell in person, see the 10 best Shopify loyalty apps instead.

Prices from each app's App Store listing or pricing page, checked November 2 to 6, 2026. "Not listed" means the app's plans don't mention it.

* The catch with Smile.io's free plan: it covers 200 orders a month, and in-store orders count toward that limit. Above 200 orders, POS costs $15 a month up to 500 orders, $79 up to 1,000 and $199 up to 2,500.
* The catch with Yotpo's free plan: it's only for stores under 100 orders a month. Above that, the next plan, Loyalty Pro, starts at $199 a month. On both plans, the POS extension only redeems fixed-amount discounts, not percentage off.

LoyaltyLion$199QuoteQuote
Yotpo$199From $199 plus a fee per orderFrom $199 plus a fee per order

Per month, checked November 2 to 6, 2026. Growave at 800 orders is Entry at $15 plus $20 for each 100 orders above 500, and at 2,000 it's Growth. Yotpo's free plan is for stores under 100 orders a month, and Pro charges $0.08 to $0.20 per order above 500. LoyaltyLion quotes Advanced or Plus above 500 orders.

Smile.io is free at 200 orders, but reaches $199 by 2,000, and Yotpo is already $199 at 200 orders. Froonze costs $60 at most at any order volume, with no overage fees.

The 10 best loyalty apps for Shopify POS

1. Froonze: POS from $10, wallet cards from $60

Froonze adds Shopify POS on its Advanced plan at $10 a month for up to 500 orders, then $30 up to 1,000 and $60 with no order limit. Staff add the customer to the sale, then open the Froonze tile in POS to check their balance, redeem points and apply rewards. The $60 Unlimited plan adds Apple and Google Wallet loyalty cards: customers show the card and staff scan its QR code to add them to the sale, so nobody has to ask for a phone number or email and type it in by hand.

Plans: Free: 100 orders/mo · Advanced $10: 500 (adds POS) · Premium $30: 1,000 · Unlimited $60: no limit, no overage, wallet cards

  • Priced by orders, not locations: more shops don't cost more, and there are no overage fees on any plan. Our team sets up the widgets and moves your points over from another app for free, on every plan.
Watch out for: POS isn't on the free plan, where Smile.io and Yotpo include it, and wallet cards need the $60 plan.

Best for: stores that want POS for $10 and wallet cards for $60, compared with $129 on Joy and $199 on Growave, with no overage fees.

Rating: 5.0 from 275 reviews, Built for Shopify, and no 1 to 3 star reviews in the last 18 months.

2. Smile.io: POS on the free plan, up to 200 orders

Smile includes Shopify POS on its free plan for up to 200 orders a month, and in-store orders count toward that limit. POS stays on every paid plan, so as you grow you pay $15 up to 500 orders, $79 up to 1,000 and $199 up to 2,500. Wallet cards aren't listed on any plan. Full breakdown: Smile.io pricing.

Plans: Free: 200 orders/mo · Essential $15: 500 · Standard $79: 1,000 · Growth $199: 2,500, then $20 per 100 · Plus $999, billed annually

Watch out for: Redeeming in store. One merchant found it "hard to redeem on POS", with the app "pushing you to upgrade to higher plans", and another couldn't get a customer's exact balance to carry over to POS after hours of trying.

Best for: small shops under 200 orders a month that want POS for free. See also Froonze vs Smile.

Rating: 4.9 from 4,666 reviews.

3. Appstle Loyalty: POS at $10, lowest price above 1,000 orders

Appstle adds Shopify POS earning and redeeming on Starter at $10 a month for up to 500 orders, and Business at $30 covers up to 2,000, which is the lowest POS price on this list above 1,000 orders, up to 2,000. Wallet cards aren't listed.

Plans: Free: 250 orders/mo · Starter $10: 500 (adds POS) · Business $30: 2,000 · Business Premium $100: 5,000, then $0.015/order

Watch out for: POS issues and setup. One merchant's points stopped redeeming through their POS, and two hours of live chat didn't fix it. Another wrote that "the user interface is terrible" and you "have to custom code everything".

Best for: stores with 1,000 to 2,000 orders a month that can handle some setup themselves.

Rating: 5.0 from 1,471 reviews.

4. Rivo: POS at $15 up to 500 orders

Rivo adds Shopify POS on Essential at $15 for up to 500 orders. Above 500, you need Scale, from $49 for 400 orders plus $20 for every 100 more: $129 at 800 orders and $369 at 2,000. Wallet cards aren't listed.

Plans: Free: 200 orders/mo · Essential $15: 500 (adds POS) · Scale from $49: 400, then $20 per 100 (capped at $499) · Plus $499: 2,500

Watch out for: Bugs and support. One merchant called the app "incredibly buggy", and another, paying for 24/7 human support, got an automated message instead, twice.

Best for: shops under 500 orders a month.

Rating: 4.7 from 1,438 reviews.

5. BON Loyalty: POS at $29

BON puts Shopify POS earning and redeeming on Basic at $29 for up to 500 orders. Above 500 orders, you need Growth at $129, which has no order limit.

Plans: Free: 150 orders/mo · Starter $15: 300 · Basic $29: 500 (adds POS) · Growth $129: unlimited

Watch out for: Refunds and navigation. One merchant found that "returns and exchanges are a mess every time" when points weren't refunded after a cancellation, and another called it "not very intuitive to navigate".

Best for: shops under 500 orders a month that want POS from a highly rated app.

Rating: 5.0 from 1,984 reviews.

6. Growave: basic POS at $15, the rest at $199

Growave bundles loyalty, reviews and a wishlist in one subscription, with Shopify POS on Entry at $15 for 500 orders, then $20 for every 100 more. POS QR codes and Apple and Google Wallet passes need Growth at $199. Full breakdown: Growave pricing.

Plans: Free: 200 orders/mo, 500 in total · Entry $15: 500, then $20 per 100 · Growth $199: 1,500, then $15 per 100 · Plus $499 · Unlimited $999

Watch out for: Leftovers and price. One merchant was still trying to remove the app's metafields and metaobjects three months after uninstalling, and a long-time user wrote that "the 199/month plan doesn't let you download customer data".

Best for: stores that use loyalty, reviews and a wishlist together and only need basic POS. See also Froonze vs Growave.

Rating: 4.8 from 1,287 reviews.

7. Joy Loyalty: POS and wallet passes at $129

Joy's POS loyalty extension and Apple and Google Wallet passes both come with Advanced at $129 a month for up to 2,000 orders, then $10 for every 100 more.

Plans: Starter (free): 250 orders/mo · Essential $29: 500, then $15 per 100 · Advanced $129: 2,000, then $10 per 100 · Ultimate $499: 7,000, then $5 per 100

Watch out for: Upgrades and migration. One merchant was told they'd "need to pay 10x more" after buying a plan, and another found that migrated customers had to buy again before they could join.

Best for: stores that want POS and wallet passes on one plan and are fine paying $129.

Rating: 4.9 from 1,792 reviews.

8. Okendo: POS on every loyalty plan, from $99

Okendo Loyalty includes Shopify POS on every plan, priced by your order volume. Reviews are a separate Okendo product, and wallet cards aren't listed.

Plans: Loyalty: $99 up to 200 orders/mo · $299 up to 1,500 · $699 up to 3,500 · $999 up to 10,000

Watch out for: Onboarding and leftovers. A merchant wrote that "Loyalty they recommend onboarding and no one really has helped", and another was still fighting to get Okendo's metafields removed months later.

Best for: larger brands that already use Okendo Reviews.

Rating: 4.8 from 1,446 reviews.

9. LoyaltyLion: POS in one location at $199

LoyaltyLion's free plan doesn't include POS. Classic at $199 adds Shopify POS in one location for up to 500 orders, and POS in more locations, or more than 500 orders, needs Advanced or Plus, priced by quote. Wallet passes are an add-on on every plan.

Watch out for: Price rises and slow support. One long-time user reported "20% price increase year over year for the 'custom plans'", and a paying merchant said "Issues I have raised takes DAYS, WEEKS to get sorted".

Best for: brands with one shop that want an onboarding specialist and are fine with quote-based pricing. More in our LoyaltyLion alternatives.

Rating: 4.7 from 549 reviews.

10. Yotpo Loyalty: POS on the free plan, under 100 orders

Yotpo's free loyalty plan includes Shopify POS for stores under 100 orders a month. Above that, the next plan, Loyalty Pro, starts at $199 a month and charges per order above 500. The POS extension on both plans only redeems fixed-amount discounts, not percentage off.

Watch out for: Prices that change after install. One merchant saw $199 for 800 orders on the App Store become $259 once installed.

Best for: brands already paying for Yotpo Reviews or SMS.

Rating: 4.7 from 969 reviews.

How to set up loyalty on Shopify POS

  1. Pick a plan that includes POS. On most apps that's a paid plan, so check the table above before you build your program on a free one.
  2. Add the app to your POS home screen. Loyalty apps add a tile or extension in the Point of Sale channel, which staff open during checkout.
  3. Train staff to add the customer to every sale. Points only count when the customer is attached to the order, so ask for an email or phone number, or scan their card.
  4. Offer wallet cards if your app has them, so regulars can show a QR code instead of spelling their email: how loyalty wallet cards work.
  5. Test on a free development store first if you don't want to experiment on your live store: how to set up a Shopify development store.
