Need to take a breather from rewards—seasonal break, inventory crunch, or site maintenance? You can pause Glow in a few clicks. Pausing is reversible and doesn’t delete data.

What “Pause” Does

  • Earning stops: Orders and actions won’t accrue points while paused.

  • Redeeming stops: Customers can’t apply rewards/discounts at checkout.

  • Widgets/launcher: The customer-facing launcher and on-store widgets are hidden.

  • Data is safe: Members, points balances, tiers, and analytics are preserved.

  • Automations: Program emails and point-issuing automations are suspended.

Pause the Program

  1. In the Glow app, go to Home.

  2. Click the Pause button (⏸) in the top-right corner of the dashboard.

  3. Confirm the prompt to pause the program.

That’s it—your program status will switch to Paused.

Resume the Program

  1. Return to Home in Glow.

  2. Click Resume (▶) in the same top-right control.

  3. Confirm to bring earning, redeeming, and widgets back online.

FAQs

  • Will customers lose points? No. All points, tiers, and history remain intact.

  • Do past orders earn points when I resume? No. Orders placed while paused do not retro-earn.

  • Can admins still view data? Yes. You retain full admin access to members, rewards, and reports.

  • Can I pause specific features only? Use the global Pause for a full stop; for partial changes, disable individual earning rules or rewards instead.

Best Practices

  • Add a brief banner or note on your site explaining the pause to avoid confusion.

  • Pause during low-traffic windows when possible.

  • Before resuming, review any pending promotions to ensure they’re still correct.

If you have questions or don’t see the pause control, please contact Support and we’ll help right away.
