Rewards

In this section, you will get to know everything related to Rewards. You’ll be familiar with creating and managing Rewards available within your Loyalty Program. You will learn what type of Rewards can be chosen, how to assign a Reward to a specific Member, define activity time and manage Reward details. You will also learn how to verify which Rewards have been already redeemed and by which Member.

Rewards module overview

In this article, you'll learn how to create and manage Rewards. You will learn the types of Rewards you can choose, how to claim Rewards for a specific Member, and what other Rewards details you should set.
All the created Rewards can be used when creating a Campaign. If a Member meets the Campaign conditions, they will get an effect in the form of Units or a Reward. As an Administrator, you decide what Reward the Member receives.

Adding Rewards

This part of the documentation will show you how to add Rewards to your loyalty program and what types of Rewards you can choose.

Types of Rewards:

Rewards are divided into three types, which on the surface may seem similar, but there are significant differences between them in terms of configuration, as well as the ability of program members to use them. Take a look at the descriptions below to learn more about the reward types
  • Material reward - A physical product that we can award to a member as a prize for completing a campaign or allow him to purchase it using units. As additional attributes, we are able to add a photo of the product and track its shipping status. e.g. a book or a bluetooth speaker
  • Static coupon - An reward with a predefined value that is set when the coupon is created. e.g., a voucher for $20 or a 15% discount code
  • Dynamic coupon - a coupon that allows you to define its value at the time of redemption of the reward. e.g. a discount coupon worth 10% of a previous order.
