How do Custom Ways to Earn for Tiers work?
Let's say that you give 1 point for every dollar spent in your store but you still want to multiply the points for every higher tier. With custom Ways to Earn for tiers, you can set a rule where Gold members earn 3 points for every dollar spent, while Silver members only earn 2 points and Bronze members earn 1 point.
Custom Ways to Earn available

A Custom Way to Earn disables the global earning value, so all tiers require their individual value — including the base tier. Repeat the steps above to add the custom earning rule for your next tier.

Common questions
I want to multiply 4 points for every higher tier. What values should I set?
Earning Value (base tier): 1 point
Earning Value (second tier): 4 points
Earning Value (third tier): 8 points.
Remember that once you add the first custom Way to Earn and the global earning value has been disabled, you must add the custom Way to Earn for the rest of your tiers.
Can I multiply points for other actions?
Currently, we can only assign different points amount to earning rules such as 'Place an order' and 'Celebrate a birthday', but we would love to hear your ideas! Please submit your feedback here.
How can I adjust the global Earning Value?
You can't edit the global earning value if you have added custom Ways to Earn to your VIP tiers. If you want to adjust it, please delete any previous earning value set for your tiers.
