Introduction

Award customers points for opening a link you want to promote, like your YouTube channel, blog, podcast or community page. You choose how often a customer can earn: once, daily, weekly or monthly.

​
What problem this solves

Your social channels and content need traffic, but customers rarely go looking for them. A points reward in your loyalty widget sends them there.

​
When to use

  • You want to drive traffic to a channel that isn’t covered by the follow and share ways to earn (for example YouTube or a community forum).
  • You publish regular content and want customers to keep coming back to it.
  • You want to promote one link at a time.

​
Overview

  • Configured with one URL.
  • Frequency: Once, Daily, Weekly or Monthly.
  • Points are credited when the customer clicks Visit.
  • Optional points expiry and VIP tier multipliers.
  • Available on select plans.

​
Before you start

Yuko app is installed on your Shopify store — see Install Yuko on Shopify.
The Yuko Theme App Embed is enabled in your active theme — see Theme App Embed.
Your loyalty program is enabled under Loyalty Program Status at Shopify admin → Apps → Yuko Loyalty → Loyalty → Programs.
Your point labels are set in Loyalty Settings.

​
Setup guide

1

Add the way to earn

In your Shopify admin, go to Apps → Yuko Loyalty → Loyalty → Programs. In Ways to earn, click Add another way and pick Visit URL.
2

Fill in Basic Details

  • Campaign Name — shown to customers on the storefront. You can use [earn_value] and [points_label], for example Earn [earn_value] [points_label].
  • Description — short copy shown with the way to earn.
3

Set the points

Enter Points to earn for visiting the URL (a whole number, at least 1).
4

Add the URL and Frequency

  • URL — the link customers open to earn points, for example https://www.youtube.com/@yourchannel. It must start with http:// or https://.
  • Frequency — how often each customer can earn from this URL: Once (the default), Daily, Weekly or Monthly.
5

Set Expiry (optional)

Turn on Expiry, then set Expire after and a Period (Day, Week, Month or Year). Expiry is available on select plans.
6

Review the side panel

  • Status — on by default.
  • Icon — Default, or Custom to upload your own (JPG, PNG, GIF or WEBP, under 1 MB).
  • Tiers — turn on to apply VIP tier multipliers to this way to earn.
7

Save

Click Save.

​
How it works

  1. The way to earn appears in the Ways to earn list of your loyalty widgets (for example the Floating Rewards launcher, rewards landing page and customer account page) with a Visit button.
  2. A logged-in customer clicks Visit. Your URL opens in a new tab.
  3. Yuko credits the points as soon as the customer clicks. Yuko can’t see what happens on the other site, so earning is based on the click.
  4. The way to earn then shows as completed for that customer until they can earn again.
  5. With a Daily, Weekly or Monthly frequency, the customer can earn again in the next day, week (weeks start on Monday) or calendar month. Periods follow UTC.
With Tiers on and VIP tiers enabled, customers in a tier earn the tier’s multiplier for this way to earn, plus any bonus points the tier sets for it. The extra points appear as a separate tier bonus entry.

​
Decision guidance

  • Use Once for a one-off push, like a new channel launch.
  • Use Weekly or Monthly for content you update regularly, like a newsletter archive or video series.
  • Keep the reward small if you allow repeat earning.

​
Limitations

  • Only one Visit URL way to earn per store, so you can promote one link at a time. To promote a different link, edit the URL.
  • Earning is based on the click; Yuko can’t check how long the customer stayed.
  • Customers must be logged in to earn.

​
Examples

  • A cooking brand awards 10 points once for visiting its YouTube channel.
  • A wellness store awards 5 points weekly for opening its blog, to build a reading habit.

​
Best practices

Promote your newest content. Swap the URL when you publish something you want customers to see.

​
FAQs

It depends on Frequency: never again for Once, the next day for Daily, the next week (Monday start) for Weekly, and the next calendar month for Monthly.
Daily Visit rewards customers for visiting your own store, automatically. Visit URL rewards a click on a link you choose, which can be on any website.
