This section deals with setting up coupon-based rewards. Coupon-based rewards include any reward that involves giving the customer a coupon code in exchange for loyalty points. The coupon code may be for a dollar discount, percentage discount, free shipping, free gift with the purchase, or it may even be a code for a 3rd party gift certificate.

Settings

The system will ask you for the basic configuration details and specifics of the reward to set up rewards for loyalty program.

The configuration fields are explained below:

Fixed Amount Discount

A fixed amount discount is a type of discount where a specific amount is deducted from the original price of a product. For example, it can be $10 off, $100 off, or any other predetermined amount. This type of discount provides customers with a fixed monetary reduction in the purchase price.

Autogenerate Coupon Codes: This option is exclusively available for Shopify users, where the codes are automatically generated.

All points-based rewards will be given priority and will be processed in the decreasing order of points required. Then the tier-based rewards will be taken up in the decreasing order of points required.

You may see a few different options based on which e-commerce cart you are on.

Please check the article Managing Coupon Codes for details.

Manage Rules

To set rules for rewards, go to Program Settings >> Rewards >> Manage Rules.

manage rules

The exclusion rules in rewards can be set to hide rewards to members based on their redemption frequency, transaction and member attributes.

Note: All rewards will be visible to everyone unless an exception rules are set.

This is how the rule engine works:

If any activity matches all or any of the set conditions, then the set action will be taken.
These conditions are set on Redemption Frequency, Transaction and Member Attributes.

📘
Please Note:
You can define custom attributes for individual rewards, as well as establish global attributes that apply to all rewards and activities, or alternatively, across all rewards.
To create custom attributes for your store, write to your account manager at support.zinrelo.com.

And each category has its operators which are selected on the basis of the requirements.

For example:

If the category is ‘Date’ like Enrollment Date, Birthday, Last Points Earned Date, etc., then its operators could be Relative (more than, less than, etc.) and Absolute (after, before, on, etc.)
If the category is ‘Number’ like Number of Reviews, Number of Purchases, etc., then its operators will be less than, greater than, equals and between.
If the category is ‘String’ like member tags, city, nationality, etc., then its operators will be equals, not equals, in and not in, contain all of, contain any of, etc.

Note: The date added to the end date will be excluded from the business rules when using the 'between' operator. Only the start date and a date before the end date will be considered.

Setting Reward Rules

Rewards rules are set on Redemption Frequency, Custom Attributes and Member Attributes.

Redemption Frequency- This adds a frequency cap on the number of times a member can redeem the reward. After the threshold is reached, no reward will be shown to the member.

By default, no rewards would have any frequency rules set. The administrator can set frequency rules to hide the reward from a specific member or group of members.

You can set multiple frequencies in the "match any" condition, while in the "match all" condition you are allowed to set the frequency only once.

Use Case- If available points<10, frequency>10 in a day and frequency>100 in a month. In this case, you can use the "match any" condition and set multiple frequencies for a day and a month.

Member Attributes-You can hide the reward from members based on their member attributes and custom attributes like user tier, enrollment date, member tags, nationality, gender, etc.

Use Cases

Use Case 1- A one-time ‘Gold Tier Welcome’ reward has been configured. Members are able to redeem this reward when they upgrade to the Gold tier. However, this reward is available for redemption only once. So after a member has redeemed this reward, the reward should be hidden from that member.

For this use case, two rules have to be set. First, hide the reward from Platinum and Silver tiers, as this reward is only for Gold tier members. Second, you have to set redemption frequency.

Use Case 2- The loyalty program caters to both B2B and B2C members. The type of member is identified at the time of enrollment and the attribute ‘membership type’ is updated with the appropriate value. B2B members should not see the discount rewards offered to B2C members.

Use Case 3- To run a successful promotion, members in the loyalty program have been assigned different tags. Members with the tag "Redemption Made" should not see the discount rewards.

Transaction Attributes

Use Case- Cookies Delights, a cookie store, aims to provide exclusive discounts to customers who make purchases from their newly established store, "Sweet Delights." To achieve this, they can create global attribute known as "Store Name," which will be available to all types of rewards configured in their loyalty program. They can set rules on the attribute called "Store Name" and offer exclusive discounts to their customers. This strategic approach not only enhances customer satisfaction but also boosts their sales potential, thereby contributing to their overall success.

Ineligible rewards

All ineligible rewards will be visible to members with the locked icon.

On clicking them, the reward card will display a progress bar related to the points needed to unlock this reward.

You can also edit the progress bar text for ineligible rewards.

Go to Program Settings >> Activities >> Text Configuration.

This will entice members to make more purchases and earn more points.

Note: To enable/ disable this feature for your program, reach out to your account manager at support.zinrelo.com.

How to customize deduction points for rewards per member

Zinrelo gives you flexibility to customize deduction points for rewards per member. With the ability to deduct different points from different members based on their individual circumstances, you can make your reward programs more flexible and responsive to the needs and preferences of the members.

For example, if User A is a high-value member who has a history of frequent purchases and high point balances, it may make sense to deduct a higher number of points from his account when he redeem a reward. Conversely, if User B is a new member or has a lower point balance, it may be more appropriate to deduct a lower number of points when he redeem the same reward.

Let's look at the ways of customizing the deduction points:

Through redeem API - You can pass on the number of points to be redeemed with member ID and reward ID in body params.
Through admin console- For this follow the given steps:

Step 1: Click on the Member module.
Step2: Select a member.
Step 3: From the action menu, select "Redeem Points."
Step 4: Select the reward which is to be redeemed.
Step 5: Customize the deduction points and give the reason for redemption.
Step 6: And confirm.
