The Content & Community Stack: Turn Engagement Into Loyalty

Is your customer loyalty program trapped on your website? When you only reward transactions, you ignore valuable engagement happening on social media and through customer reviews. This creates a fragmented experience, devalues your loyalty program, and ultimately weakens customer retention.

The Content & Community Stack solves this by creating a unified, omnichannel loyalty program. Using the powerful combination of a flexible WooCommerce store and Yotpo's advanced loyalty and reviews engine, you can reward customers for the actions that truly build a community: submitting reviews, sharing photos, and engaging on social media. Buffer automates the process of sharing this user-generated content, turning your best customers into your most authentic marketers.

Expected Outcomes

  • Increase customer lifetime value by rewarding a wider range of brand-building activities.
  • Generate a consistent stream of authentic user-generated content (reviews, photos, Q&A).
  • Eliminate the fragmented customer journey by creating a single, unified loyalty experience.
  • Boost social proof and build a stronger, more engaged brand community.
  • Automate social media marketing by leveraging your best customer content.

Integration Logic

  • Yotpo Official WooCommerce Plugin

    This integration operates through the official Yotpo plugin for WooCommerce. When a customer completes an order in WooCommerce, the purchase data is sent to Yotpo to trigger review request emails and award loyalty points. The product catalog is also synced from WooCommerce to Yotpo. In turn, Yotpo injects its review widgets, star ratings, and loyalty program information directly onto WooCommerce product and checkout pages. The integration extends to Buffer by allowing you to set up automation rules within the Yotpo dashboard; for example, when a new 5-star review is submitted, a pre-formatted post is automatically created and added to your Buffer queue, ready to be shared on your connected social media profiles.
