April 2026
April focused on closing the loop on rewards and the Shopify storefront widget suite. Birthday rewards auto-distribute, loyalty tiers now have entry rewards at each tier boundary, and four major Shopify-side widgets shipped: Loyalty Account, Ways to Earn, Refer-a-Friend, and Points at Checkout. A widget-performance pass took Lighthouse from 42 to 92+. The asset library and basketball 3D game also landed.For Admins & Community Managers
