FAQ:

  • Why didn't the incremental slider move and let me redeem fewer points?

    • The minimum number of points required to redeem must be at least as many points as your increment is based upon

  • Why are some of the rewards loading?

    • These aren't "loading". This icon shows the customer how close they are to getting that reward if they don't have enough points yet

  • I'm on the Growth Plan. Why can't I see the checkout extensions?

    • Check that you're using Shopify Plus, and if you are and still can't see them you may be on one of our legacy Growth Plans - you can speak to our team at help@smile.io and they'll help you pick a plan for your business!
