Introduction
The integration between Judge.me and Ako Marketing App allows Shopify merchants to seamlessly incorporate Judge.me's product review functionality into the Ako Loyalty Program. This will enable stores to incentivize customers to leave reviews, fostering both valuable customer feedback and loyalty.
Merchants can create different product review loyalty campaigns by offering rewards through the Ako Marketing app. For example, set up campaigns that reward customers with points, such as 250 points, for submitting reviews on their online stores. This encourages customers to share their opinions while earning loyalty points.
