Automatic cashback, paid in store credit.
Discount codes give margin away on the order in front of you, then end up on coupon sites. Cashback in store credit rewards the same order and pays out on the next one. Set the rule once and Stork credits every qualifying order automatically.
- "5% back on every order" in about three minutes
- Spend-and-get thresholds and tiers
- Hold credit until the return window closes
Example cashback rule and cart widget
What it does.
- Percentage or fixed cashback. 5% back on every order, or a flat $10. Start from a template like "Spend $100, get $10" or "10% VIP cashback" and change anything.
- Your rules, your products. Limit a rule to certain collections or products, a minimum or maximum spend, a minimum number of items, or a customer segment or tag. Choose whether cashback is worked out before or after discount codes.
- Tiers that don't double up. Give each tier its own rule with a spend window, then set promotion stacking to Best value only. Customers get the single best reward, never two.
- Credit that waits for returns. Issue when the order is paid, when it's fulfilled, or after a wait of up to 180 days. Refunds during the wait reduce or cancel the credit. Delayed credit is on Grow and Unlimited.
- Lifetime spend milestones. A threshold automation pays $10 every time a customer's total spend passes another $500. Each milestone pays exactly once. On Grow and Unlimited.
- Show it before they buy. The cart widget tells shoppers what this order will earn, on every Shopify plan. Shopify Plus stores can show it in checkout too.
Who it's for.
You're tired of codes
Swap the always-on 10% code for 10% back in credit. Customers still feel rewarded, and you stop training them to wait for a sale.
You want higher order value
Spend-and-get tiers give shoppers a reason to add one more thing. The cart widget does the upsell for you.
You reward lifetime spend
Milestone credit thanks your best customers as they keep coming back, without a points program to explain.
Cashback is native Shopify store credit in the customer's own account. It shows at checkout as a payment method, and you can see every transaction on the customer's page in Shopify admin, with or without Stork installed.
"We wanted a simple way to reward customers based on their lifetime spend while making their rewards easy to understand and use. Stork covers everything we were looking for and a whole lot more."
Cashback questions.
Is Shopify cashback calculated before or after discounts?
Before discounts by default, so a customer using a 25% code still earns on the full price. Each rule has a calculation base setting you can switch to "Amount after discounts" to reward only what they paid. Shipping and tax are never included.
Can I stop cashback being spent on orders that get returned?
Yes. Set the rule to issue credit when the order is fulfilled, or add a wait of up to 180 days. When the wait ends Stork checks the order again: cancelled or fully refunded orders earn nothing, and partial refunds reduce the credit. Delayed credit is on Grow and Unlimited.
Can customers see how much cashback they'll earn before they buy?
Yes. The cart widget is a theme block that works on every Shopify plan and shows what the current cart will earn. On Shopify Plus you can also add the checkout widget.
Does a customer get cashback from two rules on one order?
By default yes, and they receive the total. Turn on Best value only in Stork's settings to issue just the highest reward instead. That's the setting to use for tiers.
Is automatic cashback on the free plan?
Yes. Free includes one active order-value automation, which is enough for a single cashback rule. Grow ($20/month) allows up to 10 automations plus delayed credit and lifetime spend thresholds. Unlimited ($60/month) removes the automation cap.
Cashback that comes back.
