The Native
Shopify Loyalty & Rewards
App
The native Shopify loyalty app built into your Admin, with no external dashboard and no widget bloat. Boost retention, increase AOV, and launch a VIP program in minutes, no code required.
Or see it live on a real store: Veluare is a jewellery brand running Anchor with the widget auto-detected in Turkish. That's the 32+ language layer working, not a translation project.

Seamless Integrations
Works with your favorite Shopify tools
Four advantages no other Shopify loyalty app offers
We benchmarked the most popular loyalty apps feature by feature. Here's where Anchor stands alone.
Only Anchor gives you the full widget on headless
Every other loyalty app forces you to build your own UI from a raw API. Anchor ships a complete, pre-built widget for Hydrogen, Next.js, Remix, or any JS frontend.
46× lighter than Yotpo
Lazy-loaded, zero render-blocking scripts, no impact on Core Web Vitals. Heavy competitors can drop your Lighthouse score by 10-20 points.
Professional translations, not Google Translate
Every string is human-translated and reviewed. Automatic browser language detection. Full RTL layout support for Arabic and Hebrew, unique at this scale.
Same features, 70-92% cheaper
Smile, Yotpo, and LoyaltyLion charge $199/mo for VIP tier programs. Anchor includes them in the $14.99 Growth plan. No feature compromise.
Data-backed guides for Shopify merchants
Deep dives on retention, CLV, VIP tiers, referrals, and more, with citations from Harvard, Bain, and McKinsey.
We Measured the JavaScript Size of Every Shopify Loyalty App
Anchor ships 14 KB. Yotpo ships 650 KB. We benchmarked every major Shopify loyalty app's JavaScript footprint, and the gap is wider than anyone admits.
