Members meet LTV.
Loyalty data resolves into your semantic layer next to Shopify orders and cohorts, so membership reads against repeat purchase and LTV.
3
See if it works the payoff
Repeat, not points.
See whether members actually spend more and come back, and whether redemptions drive incremental revenue or just discount what you'd have earned anyway.
Side by side
LoyaltyLion tracks points. Polar tracks repeat.
LoyaltyLion shows points, tiers and redemptions in its own dashboard, apart from your orders, cohorts and LTV. So whether the program actually drives repeat, or just discounts loyal customers, stays a guess. Polar answers it.
