  1. Will the reward repeat if customers connect multiple social accounts?
    ​
    NO. The reward will be awarded to the customer once per lifetime.
    ​

  2. If existing members initially registered with an email, will they also receive the reward if they log in with a social account?

    Yes. Existing members who initially registered using an email can still use other social media accounts to log in to your store through Ako Marketing's social login feature. Additionally, if the email address associated with customer's social account is the same as the one they initially registered with, our system will automatically merge them into the same customer profile.
