# Shopify store credit
Allows merchants to reward advocates with store credit. This feature helps encourage repeat purchases by rewarding advocates directly within their Shopify customer accounts.
## How it works
* Advocates earn Shopify store credit for successful referrals.
* Store credit is added directly to the advocate’s Shopify customer account wallet.
* Advocates can use the store credit during checkout after logging in.
## How to set up
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Enable Customer accounts and Shopify store credit in Shopify
Before using this feature, make sure the **Customer accounts** and **Shopify store credit** are enabled in Shopify.
Once enabled, each customer will have a store credit wallet available in their account.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Set up store credit rewards
Go to **Extra functions** > **Referral program** > **Program** > **Rewards for advocates**
Select **Store credits** as the reward type, configure the reward value as percentage of sales or fixed amount per order, choose when the reward is sent, and save the change.
{% hint style="info" %}
For each successful referral, BixGrow automatically calculates the reward amount and adds it to the advocate’s Shopify store credit wallet.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Review Reward email notification
When store credit is issued, advocates receive an email notification informing them about the store credit reward. You can manage this notification in **Extra functions** > **Referral program** > **Settings** > **Notification.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Review advocate's profile
In each advocate's profile, merchants can view a dedicated table listing store credit rewards earned and information such as reward amount and issued date to easily track store credit rewards generated from referrals.
Navigate to **Extra functions** > **Referral program** > **Advocates, and** click advocates' name to access advocate profile.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Advocates pay with Store credit
Advocates log in to their customer account on the storefront.
After signing in their customer account, an option to Apply store credit appears. Click **Apply store credit**, then store credit is deducted from the order total. If store credit covers the full amount, no additional payment is required.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
## How advocates view their available store credit balance
Advocates need to log into their **Customer Profile** on your Shopify store to track their available credit amount and use it for future purchases.
