Apply rewards and gift cards directly to a retail cart, trigger earn events, and enrol new members right from the app.

Lantern’s codeless Automatic Discounts automatically apply to Point of Sale customers based on their segment so you can easily build your promotional campaigns in one place and have them carry across all of your channels.

Enhanced New Customer Account extensions

With Lantern, using New Customer Accounts doesn’t mean your account experience has to be boring.

Using Flare, our codeless editor tool, you can take full control of the layout and content of your New Customer Account page without having to involve a developer. You can easily add headlines, content, and images to your Account page using a Drag and Drop interface.

We’ve made the Account Overview more flexible as well as expanded support for managing your Wallet and Rewards. Customers can now access their gift cards, store credit, and rewards directly from their Lantern Wallet inside of New Customer Accounts. 

If you’re using New Customer Accounts, you can access these features today in the Lantern app.

Manual Rewards and Events triggering

We added the ability to manually add Rewards and trigger Earn Events to specific Customers from within Lantern. You can now insert Rewards like Discounts and Gift Cards directly into a Customer’s Lantern Wallet. You can also trigger Events directly from the Customer making it easy to kick off Shopify Flow events and reward customers for special actions.

You and your Customer Success team can access these features today in the Customers section in the Lantern app.

More Seamless On-Site Experiences for New Customer Accounts

Even with Shopify’s New Customer Accounts, the best place for your customers to engage with their account is still on your storefront. We added new features focused on making it easy for your customers to move seamlessly between New Customer Accounts and your storefront.

You can now more easily redirect your users who login to any page on your store, create logged-in-only experiences using the Online Store Editor, and automatically open the Account Menu based on specific user behaviour.

We also added the ability for merchants on New Customer Accounts to switch between logged in and logged out states using the Online Store Editor.

Enhanced localization and multi-currency features

How do you say Lantern in German?

One of our new customers really tested the limits of our internationalization and localization features. Baumann – Welt Der Weine is a wine retailer who wanted to launch a rewards program using Lantern. In German. On New Customer Accounts.

We worked with the Baumann team to improve our localization support across the entire platform by enhancing multi-currency handling and translation coverage. Custom content has always been a core feature of Lantern but we can now more confidently support stores across the world.

Check out Baumann — Welt Der Weine today.

Optional Loyalty Opt In

We added the option to require customers to explicitly opt-in to your membership program. You can now require users to review your terms of service and program benefits before opting into your membership program.

This is especially important for merchants using New Customer Accounts as customers aren’t required to go through an explicit account creation process. This is also useful for merchants in specific geographic regions that want to make sure Customers are given a full understanding of the program before they opt in.

Loyalty Opt In is enabled by default for stores using New Customer Accounts and can be managed in your Loyalty settings in the Lantern app.
