Why it matters
What loyalty apps solve for Neto merchants
A strong loyalty programme does more than hand out points. It helps you increase repeat orders, recognise high-value customers, reward advocacy, and keep more revenue inside your store instead of constantly reacquiring the same customer.
Give repeat customers a reason to come back
Loyalty apps turn repeat buying into a programme, not a hope. Points, tiers, referrals, and personalised rewards help you increase purchase frequency without leaning only on blanket discounting.
Reward more than just checkout spend
The stronger platforms let you reward reviews, referrals, social actions, birthdays, milestones, and custom events, so your programme reflects how your customers actually engage with your store.
Migrate without losing customer value
If you already use Neto reward balances, the right loyalty path should help you carry that value forward instead of making loyal customers start again from zero.
Your options
The loyalty and referral routes Neto merchants can compare right now

What changes
What deeper Neto loyalty sync unlocks
The real difference is not only the front-end widget. It is whether your loyalty engine can react to richer Neto activity, preserve existing balances, and stay connected to the rest of your retention stack.
Capability
Typical native Neto path
Synckony-powered path
Connector cost
Native Neto routes avoid a separate connector, but they are limited to each app's own scope
Included in your Synckony plan across all supported loyalty platforms
Neto data depth
Usually customers and orders only, or a narrower built-in data set
15 resource types so loyalty logic can react to richer customer, product, voucher, shipping, and post-purchase events
Reward balance migration
Often manual or unavailable
Existing Neto reward balances can be imported automatically through the Voucher API
Programme variety
Basic points or lighter loyalty/referral coverage depending on the add-on
Access to premium loyalty, gamification, referrals, reviews-plus-loyalty, and headless promotion engines
Broader stack impact
Usually limited to the single app you install
The same connector architecture also supports your email, subscription, reviews, and other app categories
Migration note
If your store already uses Neto reward balances, that existing value does not need to be stranded. Loyalty platforms connected through Synckony can import those balances so your customers keep the rewards they have already earned.
