Recognition

The work usually goes unseen.

Most loyalty programs notice the transaction. PROOF notices the work that happens before the next one.

  • Before sunrise.
  • After work.
  • In bad weather.
  • Alone.
  • Tired.

PROOF helps brands reward
the athletes who keep showing up.

For brands

Turn training into customer loyalty.

Give customers a reason to stay connected between orders — not with another generic discount, but with rewards tied to the effort they already care about.

First reward

Give athletes a reason to join

Offer a clear first reward athletes can earn through approved movement.

Repeat touchpoint

Stay present between purchases

Let training, rides, runs, or other approved efforts create progress with your brand.

Return visit

Turn effort into a reason to come back

Reward progress gives athletes a timely reason to revisit your store or community.

For athletes

A reason to keep showing up.

How it works

Connect activity. Set rewards. Let athletes earn.

PROOF connects verified activity data to a brand's rewards program, so athletes can earn progress through approved sports and redeem Shopify rewards.

Athletes connect activity

They join from a brand invite and connect an approved source like Strava.

Brands choose what counts

Each brand sets eligible sports, reward thresholds, and challenge goals.

PROOF tracks and rewards progress

Points and reward status update in PROOF, with Shopify rewards and brand progress emails.

Example

A morning run moves a reward closer.

An athlete completes an approved activity, PROOF updates their Points, and the brand can turn that progress into a reward, challenge, or timely email.

What brands can build

Rewards backed by real effort.

Start with reward moments athletes immediately understand. PROOF handles the verification and progress tracking behind the scenes.

Always-on rewards

Earn $5 after 300 Points

Reactivation

Invite athletes to earn progress before asking them to buy again.

PROOF

Connect your brand to the effort your customers already care about — then give them a clear reason to come back.
