Store Credit is now available on Shopify POS

Store credit gives you powerful ways to drive customer loyalty and retain more GMV. You can drive repeat purchases by offering store credit for birthdays, loyalty programs, or cash back campaigns and convert returns into future purchases by refunding to store credit, ensuring that revenue stays with your business rather than leaving with the customer.

With Store Credit starting to roll out with Shopify POS v10.2+, your customers enjoy true shopping flexibility across all your channels. Customers can earn and spend their store credit seamlessly whether they're browsing your online store or shopping in-person at your retail location.
