Where to find this: Shopify admin → Apps → Yuko Loyalty → Customers
Introduction
The Customers page is your day-to-day view of the loyalty program. It lists your store’s customers with their loyalty status, points and tier, and opens a detail page for each one with their activity, rewards, orders and the actions you need for support. You can also see a customer’s loyalty details and adjust their points without leaving Shopify, from the Yuko Loyalty block on the Shopify customer page.What problem this solves
When a customer asks “where are my points?” you need to answer quickly. The Customers page gives you the full history, and lets you fix balances or change a tier without touching anything else.When to use
- Answering support questions about missing or incorrect points.
- Giving a goodwill credit or removing points awarded in error.
- Placing a customer in a VIP tier manually.
- Removing a customer (for example a staff or test account) from the program.
- Moving point balances in from a previous loyalty app.

Yuko checks that your customers have finished syncing from your store. If not, click Go to Integrations and wait for the sync to complete.
3
Upload your CSV
Drag in or browse to a CSV file of 500 KB or less. The file needs these headers:
platform_customer_id, customer_email, phone, points.4
Check the statistics
Yuko validates the file and shows Import Statistics: Total Rows, Invalid Rows and Skipped Rows.
5
Confirm
Click Continue to Import, tick I confirm and want to proceed with the import, and click Confirm & Import. Customers who already exist are given the points. Customers who don’t exist yet are added.
In Shopify admin
Yuko adds two extensions to the customer page in your Shopify admin (Shopify admin → Customers → a customer):- Yuko Loyalty block — shows Points balance, Points earned, Points redeemed, VIP tier (when VIP tiers are enabled), Referrals and Referral link. When collapsed, it summarises the balance and tier. It has two buttons: Adjust points balance and View in Yuko, which opens the customer in the Yuko app.
- Adjust balance action — opens from the block’s Adjust points balance button or from the customer page’s More actions menu. Choose Credit (Add points) or Debit (Remove points), enter Points and an optional Update reason, and click Adjust points.
If you don’t see the Yuko Loyalty block, check that it’s added and visible in the app blocks on the Shopify customer page.
How it works
- Customers sync from your Shopify store into Yuko. Every synced customer is listed, starting as a Guest until they take part in the program.
- Every adjustment and import is written to the customer’s points ledger and appears in Activities.
- Adjustments are direct changes to the balance. They don’t trigger Ways to Earn.
- Excluded customers stay on the list with the Excluded status but don’t earn.
- Customers with a tag listed under Exclude customers by tag in Loyalty Settings don’t earn either, but they keep their Member or Guest status on this list.
Decision guidance
- Always add an Update reason when adjusting points. It helps your team understand the history later.
- Use import for one-off migrations. For ongoing syncs from another system, use the REST API.
- Use Backfill Points instead of import when you want balances to reflect actual order history.
- Exclude rather than debit staff or test accounts, so they stop earning altogether.
Limitations
- There’s no customer export from this page.
- Import files must be CSV, 500 KB or less, with the exact headers listed above.
- Import adds points; it doesn’t overwrite existing balances.
- A debit can’t take a balance below zero.
Examples
- A support agent credits 200 points to a customer whose delivery was late, with the reason Goodwill credit, delivery delay.
- A store migrating from another app imports a CSV of 12,000 customers and their old balances.
- A merchant excludes staff accounts and ticks Reset all points, discounts, and tiers to clear what they’d earned.
