Here's an overview of the Way to Earn 'Visit a URL' in the app and how to configure it.

URL

This is the URL that you want to bring customers to when they click the button. This can be any URL, whether it's a link from your Shopify store or not.

📝 Note: The URL must begin with http://

Button Text

This is the text that the member sees when clicking the button. Some common examples are Visit, Click Here, Earn Now, Get Points.

Action Name

This is what will appear in the Ways to Earn section of the on-site displays, like the Floating Widget and Dedicated Page. It is the name of the action that customers need to complete to earn points. It should be written in the present tense (e.g. subscribe to our YouTube channel).

Completed Action Name

This shows in the Points History section of the on-site displays. It is a list of completed actions and how many points they earned for the completed action. It should be written in the past tense (e.g. subscribed to our YouTube channel).

Action Description

This will appear under the action name in your on-site displays. It is a brief explanation of the action and how many points they could earn by doing it.

Points amount

Number of points you want to grant customers after completing the action.

Status

A toggle button is available here to enable or disable the custom action.

Icon

In this section, you have the option to use the default icon or upload a custom icon for your custom action for a more personalized look.

Common Questions

Can I create more than one Visit a URL Way to Earn?

Yes! You can create as many as you like.

How do customers get points for visiting the URL?

This works similarly to the Points for Social Media ways to earn where we go off of the honour system, as points are awarded shortly after clicking the button. This means it is important that your Action Name describes what you want the member to do once they visit the URL.

For example, let's say we want to get more YouTube subscribers. A bad Action Name would be "Check out our YouTube channel". A good Action Name would be "Subscribe to our YouTube Channel".
