Custom Ways to Earn for VIP Tiers

Introduction

The enhanced VIP Tiers settings enable you to configure precise point thresholds for specific customer segments, unlocking customized earning options within your Loyalty program.

How it works

Imagine you have a rewards program in your store where customers earn points for every dollar they spend. To incentivize your most loyal shoppers, you've decided to implement a tiered system that awards bonus points based on membership status. Under this new system, Gold-level members will earn 3 points per dollar spent, Silver members will earn 2 points per dollar, and Bronze members will continue to earn the base rate of 1 point per dollar.

Ways to Earn available for multiple points

  • Place an order
  • Celebrate a birthday

Setting up custom Ways to Earn for tiers

  1. Go to Loyalty > VIP Tiers
  2. Scroll down to Advanced Settings and click on Edit
  3. Mark the option Allow customers to earn different points on different tiers
  4. Click Update

When editing your VIP Tiers, locate the Custom Ways to Earn card at the bottom of the page. This will direct you to the Ways to Earn options. Alternatively, you can access the specific Way to Earn through the Points program.

Going forward, the VIP Tiers table for setting custom earning values will be available in the Ways to Earn settings. Click Edit to adjust the earning value for each tier."

Common questions

I want to multiply 4 points for every higher tier. What values should I set?

  • Earning value for base tier (ex. Bronze): 1 point
  • Earning value for intermediate tier (ex. Silver): 4 points
  • Earning value for highest tier (ex. Gold): 8 points.

Can I multiply points for other actions?

You can only set different earning values to the 'Place an order' and 'Celebrate a birthday' Ways to Earn at the moment, but we would love to hear your ideas! Please submit your feedback here.

How can I adjust the global earning value?

Please use the standard 'Earning points' field to set your global value. If all your tiers have custom values, they will not use the default one. However, you can always delete a custom value if necessary. In that case, your tier will use the default earning value again.
