About Smile.io
Smile.io is the most widely used loyalty and rewards platform for Shopify brands, enabling points programs, referral rewards, and VIP tier systems. For brands running a Smile.io loyalty program, loyalty-related questions — 'How many points do I have?', 'How do I redeem my points?', 'Why didn't I earn points on my last order?' — represent a meaningful slice of support volume. Connecting Smile.io to Bookbag gives the AI agent access to each customer's points balance, tier status, recent points transactions, and redemption history, so these questions can be answered instantly and accurately without agent involvement.
