# Sign up credits benefit
Give members store credits just for signing up for your program.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you are using Shopify customer accounts, earned store credit is issued to the customer's Shopify account. The customer signs in to view their balance and use it as a payment method at checkout.
{% endhint %}
If you are using legacy customer accounts, the store credit will be delivered automatically as a discount code in their member portal area. To use the store credit, the customer just has to purchase their items and then when they are on the checkout page, apply the discount codes.
{% hint style="warning" %}
If you are using customer accounts, enable Store Credit on your store. [Follow the Store Credit setup instructions](/members-area/enabling-native-store-credit.md).
