Your loyalty program, plus the rest. Reviews and wishlists included.

Points and VIP tiers like Smile.io, with product reviews and shareable wishlists in the same app. VIP tiers and the API are on every plan.

Side by side.

Smile.io is a friendly, focused loyalty app. Meisei runs the same kind of program and adds reviews and wishlists, so one app covers what usually takes three.

Why stores move from Smile.io to Meisei.

  • Three apps in one

    Loyalty, reviews and wishlists share one customer record and one bill, so you're not keeping three apps in sync.

  • Tiers and punch cards on every plan

    VIP tiers with their own multipliers, and punch cards for buy nine, get one free, from the $19 plan up.

  • The API without the top plan

    The same REST API our dashboard uses, with webhooks and scoped keys, on every plan and month to month.

  • Any storefront

    Shopify in one click, and one script tag for WooCommerce, Next.js or anything else you run.

Moving from Smile.io.

Your members and balances come straight from Smile.io's export, so nobody loses a point.

  1. Step 1

    Connect your store.

    Install the Shopify app, or add one script tag to any other storefront. Your products, customers and orders come across on their own.

  2. Step 2

    Import your Smile.io members.

    Upload Smile.io's member export as it is and pick Smile.io as the format. Customers are matched by email, with their point balances.

  3. Step 3

    Recreate your rules.

    Set up your ways to earn, rewards and tiers in Meisei. Each one is a plain sentence, so most programs take an afternoon.

  4. Step 4

    Swap the widgets.

    Add Meisei's widgets where Smile.io's were, check your product pages, then cancel Smile.io. Nothing shoppers see changes until you add them.

When Smile.io might suit you better.

If you only want loyalty, already run a reviews app you love, and sell on Shopify POS, Smile.io is a simple, focused choice. It also runs refer-a-friend programs, which Meisei doesn't.

Switching from Smile.io.

Will my customers lose their points?

No. Import Smile.io's member export unchanged and every balance comes across. You can also backfill past activity through the API so tiers land where they should.

Do members need to sign up again?

No. Members are matched to their customer accounts by email, so they see their balance as soon as Meisei's widget is on your store.

Can I try Meisei before cancelling Smile.io?

Yes. Start the 14-day free trial, import your history and set everything up first. Shoppers only see Meisei where you add its widgets, so Smile.io can keep running until you are ready.

Is there a contract?

No. Plans are monthly, or yearly if you want two months free, and you can cancel any time. Every price is on the pricing page.
