This is perfect for brands expanding beyond Shopify or operating multiple storefronts. Your reviews, loyalty programs, and referral campaigns work seamlessly across both platforms.
Loox offers a basic referral add-on for $12.99/month with limited features. Yuko includes a comprehensive referral engine with advanced tracking, fraud prevention, customizable reward structures, social sharing optimization, and loyalty integration. Most stores see significantly better referral performance with Yuko’s full-featured system compared to Loox’s basic add-on.
All your Loox review request workflows transfer to Yuko and can be enhanced. We migrate your timing settings, email templates, and automation rules. Plus, Yuko’s advanced workflows add smart timing, conditional logic, behavioral triggers, and A/B testing that Loox doesn’t offer. Most stores see 20-30% higher review collection rates after upgrading their workflows post-migration.
Migration from Loox is 100% free — no setup fees, no migration costs, no hidden charges. This includes white-glove migration support, complete data transfer (including all visual media), theme integration, widget setup, gallery styling, and team training. For stores processing 1,000+ orders per month, you also get a dedicated account manager at no additional cost. The only cost is your Yuko subscription.

Yes! If you’re currently using a separate loyalty app (like Smile.io, LoyaltyLion, or others) alongside Loox, we can migrate that data during your Loox migration. This creates a unified customer profile in Yuko with complete history across reviews, loyalty points, and referrals. One migration, one platform, complete customer retention data.
While Loox pricing doesn’t transfer, Yuko’s pricing provides better overall value by combining reviews, loyalty, and referrals in one platform. Most stores save money by consolidating multiple apps into Yuko’s unified platform. Plus, you get enhanced features and better review collection rates that quickly offset any pricing differences.
Once your migration to Yuko is complete and you’ve verified everything works perfectly, you can safely cancel your Loox subscription. We recommend keeping Loox active for 7-14 days post-migration as a safety backup, then canceling through your Loox account settings. Many stores save $39.99-299/month after migrating and consolidating their review, loyalty, and referral apps.
