**Prerequisites**

- Click on the ‘GoGenerosity Loyalty Donation’ product to customize (or access via the Shopify product library):  
    - Loyalty Product Title - Update as you would with any other Shopify product eg: $5 Donation to \[Charity Name\]. IMPORTANT: For reporting purposes our app automatically applies a vendor tag of 'loyalty' & 'donation' when the GoGenerosity Loyalty Donation product is created. Please ensure this tag is not removed

    - Once completed click on Create & Save

 

**All set - customers can now donate their loyalty points to have real impact! 😊**

 

**Multiple Charities** (maximum of three recommended)

- As outlined earlier, if you do plan to include multiple charities please notify support@gogenerosity.com in advance, as additional setup is required by our team before the steps can be completed
- You'll need to duplicate the 'Loyalty Product' for each additional charity. To do this click on:  
    - Products
    - Select the 'Loyalty Product' you originally created
    - Duplicate
    - Update Title eg: $5 Donation to \[New Charity Name\]
    - Duplicate Product
    - Update 'Media' image with charity logo

- You'll then need to create a new 'Program' for each additional charity (as per steps under the 'Program Setup in Smile.io' section). Please note:

- - When you are customizing the program and 'choosing a product from the store', ensure you choose the correct & correlating product for that charity
    - The points to dollar ratio must remain consistent across all programs/ charities

- If multiple charities are selected, all donations will be split evenly between them
