Migrating from Smile.io to Joy Loyalty allows you to seamlessly transition your loyalty program, preserving essential customer data such as VIP tiers and point balances. This guide will walk you through the migration process to ensure your data transfers correctly.
Joy Loyalty supports the migration of key customer data, including:
Customer Name: Full name of the customer.
VIP Tier Name: The customer’s rank tier in your loyalty program.
Birth Date: The customer’s birthday.
Points Balance: The current points balance the customer holds.
Email: The customer’s email address.
Customer Status: The customer's current status.
You need to prepare a CSV file containing the list of your store's loyal customers. This file should include all the information fields you want to migrate.
Note: If the customer list exported from the loyalty program managed by Smile is missing the VIP tier field, you can contact Smile's team for support in exporting the customer file with all necessary fields.
Step 1: Open the Joy Loyalty app → navigate to the Customer→ choose Import → Migration.
Note: For older stores, the migration feature may not appear under the import section. If you don't see the migration feature, please contact our customer support team for assistance. After that, we will assist you in enabling the Migration feature.

After Joy Loyalty reads your file and reports the number of successful and failed customer imports, follow these steps to ensure no customers are missed:
Download the processed file from the FailedImports section.
Open the file (a spreadsheet) and apply a filter on the Status column to display only the failed customers.
Review the error messages and correct the failed values.
Re-upload the corrected file and review the data again to ensure all customers are successfully imported.
Migrating from Smile.io to Joy Loyalty is a simple process that retains essential data. Following these steps will help you complete the migration without disruption to your loyalty program.
