# Example: Award bonus points for repeat purchases using Shopify Flow

> Reward customers with bonus points when they reach a specific order milestone, such as their 3rd, 5th, or 10th order.

This example uses Shopify Flow and the **Send Smile activity** action to automatically award points when a customer places a milestone order.

## Before you start

This example uses the setup described in **Use Shopify Flow to award points**. This article covers only the Shopify Flow workflow configuration for the repeat-purchase milestone.

Before creating this workflow, you must first:

1. Create a Shopify Flow action in Smile using the **Order paid** trigger.
2. Create an earning action linked to that Flow action.

## How this workflow works

This workflow checks the number of orders a customer has placed.

When a customer reaches the order milestone you specify, Shopify Flow sends a Smile activity and awards the associated points.

For example:

* Award 100 points on a customer's 3rd order.
* Award 250 points on a customer's 5th order.
* Award 500 points on a customer's 10th order.
