Step 1: Access the 99minds Dashboard
Ensure you are logged in and redirected to the 99minds dashboard. On the dashboard, look at the left-hand side menu and locate the Widgets section.
Step 2: Open the Shopify Checkout Extension Customization
In the Widgets section, find the Shopify Checkout Extension card and click the Customize button to open its configuration.
Step 3: Navigate to the VIP Tiers Configuration
Within the checkout extension settings, you will see several tabs such as Rewards, General, Loyalty, Store Credit, and VIP Tiers. Switch to the VIP Tiers tab to configure VIP tiers for the checkout.
Step 4: Enable VIP Tiers for Customers With Tiers
Turn on the toggle to enable VIP Tiers for customers who already have a tier assigned. Once enabled, you will see configuration options under Customers with VIP tiers, including a Tiers dropdown.
Step 5: Select the VIP Tier
Open the Tiers dropdown to see all tiers configured in 99minds. Select the tier you want to display in the checkout extension. For example, select Plush Admirer 2.
Step 6: Configure the Title and Description
Enter a Title for the selected tier. This title will be shown to the customer in the Shopify checkout.
Add a Description to provide more details about the VIP tier benefits or status that will be visible in the checkout.
Step 7: Add Links and Text for the Tier
In the URL / Link section, use the Browse or link input area to add any relevant URL (for example, a page explaining VIP benefits).
After adding the link, you can also add supporting text that will appear with the link in the checkout extension.
You can repeat this process to create multiple options (e.g., multiple tiers or configurations) by using the Add button. For example, you might configure three options for different tiers.
Step 8: Configure Messaging for Customers Without VIP Tiers
Under Customers without VIP tiers, configure the message that will be shown to customers who do not belong to any VIP tier. Add a title and any explanatory text you want displayed in the checkout extension.
Enable the toggle for this section so that customers without a tier see the configured message.
Step 9: Save the Configuration and Go to the Store
After configuring both Customers with VIP tiers and Customers without VIP tiers, click Save to apply your changes. Then navigate back to the Store section in Shopify to test the configuration.
Step 10: Add a Product and Proceed to Checkout
In your Shopify store, add a product to the cart—for example, add Blue Snowboard.
Before testing the checkout extension, ensure the store is logged in with a valid customer account that has an assigned VIP tier in 99minds.
Step 11: Verify VIP Tier Display in Checkout
Log in as a customer who already has a VIP tier (e.g., John). Proceed to checkout and confirm that the checkout extension displays the correct tier information, such as “Welcome to the Silver Tier,” corresponding to the configured tier (e.g., Plush Admirer 2 in 99minds).
You should see that the title and description configured earlier appear correctly in the checkout.
Step 12: Confirm the Customer’s VIP Tier in 99minds
If you want to double-check the customer’s tier, go back to the 99minds dashboard and search for the customer (e.g., John) by name.
Verify that the customer’s current tier (for example, Plush Admirer 2) matches what is shown in the checkout extension.
This confirms that the VIP Tier settings for the Shopify Checkout Extension are configured and working as expected.
