Keep Customers Coming Back With Games and Rewards
Acquiring new customers is expensive. Retention is cheaper and more profitable — but only if you give customers a reason to return.
Customer retention is the backbone of profitable ecommerce: returning customers cost less to serve and often spend more over time. The challenge is giving them a reason to come back. Gamification at checkout does exactly that. When a customer plays a post-purchase game and wins a discount or free shipping for their next order, they have a concrete incentive to return—and the experience itself creates a positive memory of your brand. Prizo closes the loop by delivering rewards via Shopify discount codes and optional email follow-ups, so the customer is reminded to use their reward. Over time, this builds a habit: purchase, play, win, return. Stores using Prizo see improved repeat purchase rates and higher lifetime value (LTV) because the thank-you page is no longer a dead end but the start of the next visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do games improve retention?
Games give customers a tangible reward (e.g. 15% off next order) and a positive experience to remember. Both the reward and the experience encourage them to return.
What rewards work best for retention?
Discounts and free shipping for the next order are most common. The key is making the reward easy to use and reminding the customer via email when appropriate.
Can I target high-value customers with better rewards?
Yes. You can configure different rewards or win rates based on order value so your best customers get stronger incentives to return.
How do I measure retention impact?
Prizo's analytics show repeat purchase rates, redemption of game rewards, and revenue from returning customers so you can track retention over time.
