Loyalty That Works as Well Online as It Does In-Store
Connect your e-commerce platform to your loyalty program so online transactions earn and redeem in real time — and the customer experience is consistent whether the purchase happens in a store or a browser.
Overview
E-commerce and in-store loyalty experiences often feel disconnected because they are: separate systems, separate databases, and separate definitions of who the customer is. A member who earns points in-store and cannot use them online experiences the program as two different programs. Yegertek connects e-commerce platforms to Engage 365 so loyalty behavior is captured in real time regardless of channel, and the member experience is consistent everywhere. For most retailers, the gap between online and in-store loyalty isn't a deliberate choice — it's the accumulated result of the two channels having been built by different teams, on different systems, at different points in the business's history.
The Challenge
- ✕
Online and in-store loyalty treated as separate programs with separate point balances.
- ✕
E-commerce transactions processed in batch, so points appear hours or days after purchase.
- ✕
Redemption blocked at checkout because the loyalty balance is not visible to the commerce platform.
- ✕
Member identity not matched across channels, so cross-channel behavior is invisible to the program.
Our Approach
E-commerce integration is built API-first — real-time event capture from the commerce platform, real-time points issuance in Engage 365, and real-time redemption availability at checkout. Identity matching uses the shared Dynamics 365 CRM record so the member is the same person regardless of channel.

Business Benefits
A loyalty program that works equally well online and in-store removes the friction that prevents members from engaging across channels. Members who redeem online are more likely to remain active than those who can only redeem in-store because their redemption options are not artificially constrained by channel. And cross-channel identity matching makes it possible to understand the real value of the customer relationship, not just the value of the in-store or online portion of it.
