Ensure BigCommerce Loyalty Program Email Delivery
BigCommerce retailers building customer loyalty programs depend on reliable email communication. Verifyr helps you deliver reward updates and exclusive offers to real, engaged customers.
The problem
Many BigCommerce loyalty programs struggle with low engagement and missed opportunities because critical emails – like points updates, reward notifications, or birthday offers – fail to reach customers. If a customer signs up with a typo or a temporary email, they miss out on their benefits, leading to frustration and reduced program participation. This directly impacts customer retention efforts and the long-term value of your loyalty initiatives, making it harder to foster repeat purchases.
Integrating your BigCommerce store with a loyalty platform like Smile.io or LoyaltyLion means syncing customer data, including email addresses. If this data is riddled with invalid emails, your loyalty platform will experience high bounce rates, potentially flagging your account or reducing deliverability for all your communications. This not only wastes marketing spend but also undermines the trust customers place in your brand's ability to deliver on its loyalty promises.
How Verifyr solves it
Concrete example
# Example: Validate email before adding to loyalty program via BigCommerce API webhook
# This assumes a webhook sends customer data to your backend.
import requests
import json
def validate_email_for_loyalty(email_address):
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
response = requests.post(
"https://api.verifyrhq.com/v1/validate",
headers={
"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
json={"email": email_address}
)
return response.json()
# Example usage after receiving BigCommerce customer data:
# customer_email = "new_loyalty_member@example.com"
# validation_result = validate_email_for_loyalty(customer_email)
# if validation_result.get('valid'):
# print(f"Email {customer_email} is valid, proceed with loyalty enrollment.")
# else:
# print(f"Email {customer_email} is invalid, do not enroll in loyalty.")
