How it works

Suppose you award 1 point for every dollar spent in your store, but you want to amplify point earnings for higher-tier members. With custom Ways to Earn for VIP Tiers, you can set a rule where Gold members earn 3 points for every dollar spent, Silver members earn 2 points, and Bronze members earn 1 point.

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.
