Shopify + Leal

Connect Shopify POS to Leal

Shopify POS is the natural choice for retailers selling both online and in person, with one catalogue and one customer base. Because in-store sales are just Shopify orders, Leal can treat your whole business as one loyalty program.

The short version

Shopify's official Zapier app covers POS orders. One Zap connects the New Paid Order trigger to Leal's Find customer and Add stamps actions, in store and online. About 15 minutes to set up.

Why pair Shopify POS with Leal

  • In-store and online purchases share one customer record, so Leal keeps a single stamp card across channels.
  • Leal runs independently of your theme and checkout, and works even where Shopify loyalty apps do not reach.
  • Wallet passes give in-store customers something visible that a web-only loyalty widget never will.

Set up Shopify POS and Leal with Zapier

  1. 1

    Get your Leal API key

    In your Leal dashboard, open Settings and copy your API key.

  2. 2

    Create a Zap with the Shopify trigger

    In Zapier, choose Shopify as the trigger app with the New Paid Order event and connect your store.

  3. 3

    Filter by channel if you like

    Add an optional filter on the order's source if you want different stamp rules for POS and online sales. Otherwise let both flow through.

  4. 4

    Add Leal's Find Customer and Add Stamps actions

    Choose Leal as the action app and select Find Customer, mapping the order's customer email into Search Query. Then add Add Stamps: select your Loyalty Card, map the Customer from the Find step, and leave Number of Stamps at 1.

  5. 5

    Test and turn on

    Place a test order at the till and online, confirm both stamp the card in Leal, then publish the Zap.

Good to know

  • Leal's Find Customer matches by fuzzy search across name, email, phone, and card code, or exactly by External System plus External ID once a customer is linked.
  • Leal's Create Customer needs a first name plus an email or phone, and its Send Card Links option delivers the Apple Wallet and Google Wallet links automatically.
  • Leal's triggers fire instantly via webhooks, so Zaps on the Leal side run within seconds.

What you can automate

Every order adds a stamp

POS and online orders both move the customer's card forward, keeping one balance everywhere.

First order creates a customer

A second Zap using Leal's Create customer action gives first-time buyers a wallet pass automatically.
