Why Shopify brands switch from Marsello to Mage

Marsello is built for omnichannel retailers running multiple POS systems. If you're Shopify-first, Mage gives you the full retention stack, natively, without paying for machinery you don't use.

Native paid memberships

Run a paid members-club for recurring revenue alongside points and tiers. Marsello doesn't offer memberships at all.

Built only for Shopify

Checkout extensions, Shopify Flow, and a native account experience. Marsello spreads across Shopify, Lightspeed, Heartland, and Cin7, so Shopify depth isn't its focus.

VIP tiers without the upsell

Tiers, points expiry, and advanced rules included. Marsello gates these behind its higher-priced Accelerate plan.

Wishlists built in

Save-for-later, back-in-stock, and price-drop alerts that drive second purchases. Marsello has no wishlist.

Fraud-protected referrals

Two-sided referrals with built-in fraud controls that block self-referrals and abuse before they cost you margin.

One plan, one bill

Loyalty, memberships, referrals, VIP tiers, and accounts in a single Shopify-native subscription, with the essentials included instead of gated to a higher tier.

Built for modern Shopify

A native account, not a portal off to the side.

Mage Customer Accounts enhance Shopify's own account experience, unifying orders, returns, loyalty, wishlists, and personalized recommendations in one on-site sidebar, designed with our no-code Canvas editor.

Marsello gives members a separate branded portal and wallet passes that live beside your store. Mage rebuilds the account customers already use, so every logged-in visit becomes a retention surface inside your Shopify storefront, not a second destination.

One Shopify-native platform. One predictable bill.

Marsello starts you on a loyalty plan, then reserves VIP tiers, points expiry, and API access for its higher Accelerate tier. Mage puts the full retention stack in one plan from the start.

The full stack in one plan

Loyalty, native memberships, VIP tiers, referrals, and wishlists all included. No piecing the essentials together from separate tiers and add-ons.

Nothing reserved for a higher tier

Marsello keeps VIP tiers, points expiry, and API access on its Accelerate plan. Mage includes them without an upgrade.

Month-to-month, every feature in the plan

Transparent usage-based pricing with optional discounted annual billing. Stay because it works, not because of a contract.

Wishlists & saves

Marsello has no wishlist. Mage builds it in.

Wishlists drive second purchases, but Marsello doesn't offer them. Mage includes built-in wishlists and saves, so customers can save favorites, get back-in-stock and price-drop alerts, and convert from intent to purchase without leaving your store.

  • Save favorites with one tap from PDPs, collection pages, or directly inside the account sidebar
  • Back-in-stock & price-drop alerts automatic emails and SMS when saved products restock or drop in price
  • Built into the platform not a separate wishlist app to install, bill, and maintain

Memberships & referrals

Recurring revenue Marsello can't run.Referrals with fraud protection built in.

Marsello covers points and referrals, but it has no paid memberships. Mage runs memberships natively and adds fraud protection to referrals: launch a paid members-club for predictable recurring revenue, and grow with two-sided referrals that block self-referrals and abuse before they cost you margin.

  • Native paid memberships sell a members-club with perks, exclusive pricing, or early access, alongside points and tiers
  • Fraud-protected referrals two-sided rewards with built-in protection against self-referrals and gaming
  • 20+ native integrations Klaviyo, Postscript, Judge.me, and more, so loyalty data still flows to the tools you keep

We are really happy with working with the Mage team and getting this program up and running. They are very responsible and professional. Very seamless and the upsell features seem to already be helping with adoption!

I looked into so many different integrations for loyalty and referrals for our Shopify Store, but no one impressed me more than Mage on human connection, customer service, and value.

Switching from Marsello? FAQ

Mage is the Shopify-native alternative to Marsello for brands whose business lives on Shopify. You get loyalty, native paid memberships, VIP tiers, wishlists, and fraud-protected referrals in one plan, built specifically for Shopify with checkout extensions and a native account experience. Free migration, live in 1 week.

Yes, in two cases. If you sell across multiple POS systems (Lightspeed, Heartland Retail, or Cin7) and need one loyalty balance everywhere, Marsello is purpose-built for that and Mage is not. And if you want email and SMS marketing bundled into the same tool, Marsello includes them. Mage is Shopify-native and focuses on retention, pairing with a dedicated email and SMS platform like Klaviyo. If you are Shopify-first, Mage consolidates more of the retention stack with less overhead.

Native paid memberships, built-in wishlists and save-for-later, Shopify checkout extensions, and a native Shopify account experience. VIP tiers and points expiry are also included rather than gated behind a higher plan as they are on Marsello's Accelerate tier.

They are structured differently. Marsello's loyalty plans run $60 per month for Launch and $120 for Accelerate, where VIP tiers, points expiry, and API access live, with email and SMS available as add-ons. Mage is one flat plan, Starter $49 and Growth $499, with memberships, VIP tiers, referrals, and wishlists all included rather than gated to a higher tier, plus optional discounted annual billing.

No. We import every point balance, lifetime points, VIP tier, and referral record exactly as it stands in Marsello. Customers log in to find the same balance in a more capable, Shopify-native program.

Mage is built for Shopify, including Shopify POS for in-store earning and redemption. The difference from Marsello is scope: Marsello also unifies non-Shopify systems like Lightspeed and Cin7, whereas Mage is Shopify-native by design. If your stack is entirely Shopify, that focus is an advantage.

Founder-led support with direct Slack access to the engineers building Mage, plus free white-glove migration from Marsello. We treat support as part of the product, not a separate help-desk queue.
