The problem

3rd Party Retail can feel like a black-box.

No buyer identity

Retail POS data stops at the transaction. You never get the email, the name, or the chance to say thanks.

No in-store clarity

Which programs or spend filled the store and closed the sale? Without effort-to-aisle proof, every plan is a guess.

No way to prove in-store lift

If shoppers never identify at checkout, you can't show lift or connect purchases to the levers you pulled.

"85% of retail still happens in stores - and brands see almost none of it."

The solution

Turn every in-store purchase into a trackable, rewardable, first-party data event.

Receipt-backed rewards get shoppers to opt in at checkout. You get first-party data you own — and a clear line from the incentives and campaigns you run to what actually happened in-store.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is this a Shopify app?

Yes. Keystone Rewards is a native Shopify app that installs from the App Store and runs inside your Shopify admin. It uses the Shopify Admin API to manage products, discounts, and gift cards on your behalf.

Do I need a developer to install it?

No. Installation is a one-click OAuth flow. Embedding the customer-facing submission page on your site is a single copy-paste script tag. If you want deeper customization, we give your team full control.

Which retailers does it work with?

Any retailer that gives customers a receipt. We don't integrate with retailer POS systems - we work directly with the shopper, so you're free from retailer-imposed gatekeeping. Add as many partner stores as you sell through.

How are rewards delivered?

Automatically, by email, the moment a submission is verified. Discount codes and Shopify gift cards are generated via the Shopify API. Free-product rewards become a real Shopify order fulfilled from your existing workflow.

How do you prevent receipt fraud?

Layered defenses: OCR cross-checks the retailer name and purchase date against the promotion, we enforce one reward per customer per promotion, flag duplicate or mismatched receipts for manual review, and pair every reward with a public social post as an additional signal.
