Last modified: July 26, 2023

The Shop Cash rewards program, including Shop Cash Promos and Earned Shop Cash (defined below) (“Shop Rewards”) is offered by Shopify Inc. and its affiliates (“Shopify”, “we”, “us” or “our”). Participation in Shop Rewards is subject to these Shop Rewards Terms and Conditions (“Shop Rewards Terms”), the Shop Terms of Service, the Shopify Privacy Policy, and any other agreement you may enter into with Shopify from time to time (collectively the “Terms”), which are incorporated herein by reference. Any new features or tools that are added to the current Shop Rewards offering will also be subject to the Shop Rewards Terms. If you earn or redeem Shop Rewards, you become a Rewards Member and these Shop Rewards Terms apply to you.

1. Eligibility

In order to participate as a Rewards Member in Shop Rewards you must reside in the United States and be 18 years of age or older with a valid Shop account in good standing (“Shop Account”). You may only have one Shop Account and may not share memberships with other individuals or have multiple memberships. However, there may be more than one Shop Account in a household. Memberships cannot be merged or transferred. Shopify may make Shop Rewards available on a rolling or staggered basis such that not all individuals will become eligible for Shop Rewards at the same time or receive the same benefits. By participating in Shop Rewards you agree to the Shop Rewards Terms. If you do not agree to the Shop Rewards Terms, do not participate in Shop Rewards. An offer for Shop Rewards is not confirmed until you see the Shop Rewards applied in your cart at checkout.

2. Promotional Offers

  1. As part of Shop Rewards, Shopify may, in Shopify’s sole discretion, create and make available to you promotional offers that may be redeemed for discounts on purchases in the Shop App, or other features or benefits related to the Shop Services, subject to any additional terms that Shopify establishes on a per promotional offer basis (“Shop Cash Promo(s)”). Shopify or third parties may offer additional Shop Cash Promos or other benefits, which may be time-limited or while quantities last, and will be awarded as described in the applicable Shop Cash Promo and subject to any additional terms set forth in such Shop Cash Promo. Shop Cash Promo availability is confirmed at checkout.

  2. Similar offers may run at the same time, and qualification for a particular Shop Cash Promo does not constitute qualification for any other Shop Cash Promo, Shop Reward or other offer or benefit.

  3. A Shop Cash Promo may provide a date by which you must accept the Shop Cash Promo. If you do not accept the Shop Cash Promo by the stated date, you will not receive the Shop Cash Promo.

3. Earning Shop Cash

  1. As part of Shop Rewards, (i) Shopify may, in Shopify’s sole discretion, allow certain Shop Users to earn Shop Cash on an Eligible Shop Pay Transaction and (ii) Shopify may award you Shop Cash on qualifying late orders featuring the Shop Promise badge in accordance with the Shop Promise terms available here ((i) and (ii) collectively, “Earned Shop Cash”).

  2. Shop Cash are not property and have no cash value, are not redeemable for cash, gift certificates or gift cards and are purely promotional.

Shopify reserves the right to withdraw, limit, modify or cancel any provision of Shop Cash, change Shop Cash benefits, rules for earning, redeeming, retaining or forfeiting Shop Cash, redefine Shop Cash benefits, or terminate provision of Shop Cash at any time, in Shopify’s sole discretion, without any liability to you.

  3. Shop Cash may not be earned on all purchases or with all Shop Merchants. Shop Cash may only be earned on Eligible Shop Pay Transactions and is only earned on the portion of an order that is paid with a card. For clarity, no Shop Cash will be earned on the portion of an order not paid with a card, including but not limited to with Shop Cash, gift cards, rebates, or using any form of discounts or promotional value. Any opportunity to earn Shop Cash will be disclosed to you when you checkout with Shop Pay.

  4. Shop Cash will not be earned on transactions that are deemed fraudulent, disputed transactions, or transactions subject to a return, except as specifically set forth in these Shop Rewards Terms, and any Shop Cash relating to that event will be deducted from your Shop Cash balance.
