Buyers can access their customer accounts to view all of their orders including order amounts, previous orders and items purchased. Buyers can also search for individual products and submit support requests. They can even track returned items.
Reordering feature
To simplify customer interactions with your store, you can add a “Reorder” button. Instead of clicking on the product, and then adding it to their shopping cart, click on the ‘Reorder’ button. The buyer can now click “Reorder”, instead of clicking on the product and then adding it to their cart. The item will be added in the cart and available for payment.
Wish Lists
A buyer can save items to their wishlist to purchase them later. Buyers can view all items saved to wishlists and add them to their shopping basket to purchase.
Loyalty Program
Your store can turn regular customers into loyal customers by offering a loyalty program. This will increase repeat sales and help to retain customers. Our rewards program allows you to create multiple incentive tiers that allow shoppers to earn credits. Customers have access to their rewards anytime through their customer account. Customers will choose your brand over other brands.
Login to your social media account
Customers may abandon their carts and not place an order if they have to log in for too long. Your customers may log in to their online store using social media. Social login is an excellent tool to attract more customers to your online store.
