Joy is a customer loyalty platform for Shopify merchants that helps businesses increase customer retention through points-based rewards programs and social engagement features. The software enables e-commerce stores to reduce acquisition costs by focusing on repeat purchases from existing customers rather than constantly acquiring new ones.
Joy primarily serves mid-market Shopify merchants, particularly in beauty, fitness, and lifestyle verticals. The platform targets businesses on Shopify Advanced or Plus plans who want to optimize customer acquisition costs and build predictable revenue streams through enhanced customer relationships.
The platform addresses rising advertising costs and platform dependency by helping merchants create direct customer relationships. Joy transforms acquisition-heavy strategies into retention-focused approaches through meaningful customer touchpoints and engagement opportunities.
