Smile automatically syncs customer accounts from your Shopify or BigCommerce store to keep your loyalty program up to date. You can add, edit, or remove customers directly in your eCommerce platform, and Smile will reflect those changes during its nightly sync.
ℹ️ Note: Smile syncs customer data overnight (EST/EDT). If you add, edit, or delete a customer in your eCommerce platform, changes will appear in Smile the following day.
Add customers
Smile automatically adds newly created customer accounts from Shopify or BigCommerce to your loyalty program, eliminating the need for manual entry. Your Customers list stays up to date with daily syncs.
To manually add a customer, create a new customer profile in your Shopify or BigCommerce admin and include a valid email address. Smile will sync this profile during the next nightly update.
ℹ️ Note: To add a customer immediately, they must create an account directly through your online store or complete a purchase. This instantly sends their customer record to Smile.
💡 Important: Customers must set a password for their store account to redeem points or use the Smile panel. Once their account is activated, they can fully engage with your loyalty program.
Delete customers
To delete a customer profile from your loyalty program, delete their profile in your Shopify or BigCommerce admin. Smile will detect the change and remove them during the next nightly sync—no further action is required.
