Discounts

10min

Discounts is where you will manage the active discounts your customers are able to redeem.

  • Discounts are typically applied as $ or % off of the entire cart. Some point of sales allow for a Partner Platform Reward.
  • Discounts can be redeemed with enough earned points or gifted to target customers to use at their discretion.
  • Discounts can be highly targeted: You can specify which audiences and locations should be eligible for the discount.

For regulated industries: Ensure that discounts are legal in the state(s) in which you operate before creating them for customers to use.

Discount FAQs

How can I make a discount expire "X" days after it gets added to their wallet?

Set a Relative Expiration (days or hours). See Discount Builder for more information.

Can a discount be used more than one time?

Yes. The setting can be found in the Discount Builder > Redemption > "Can this discount be used more than one time?" See Discount Builder for more information.

This is particularly relevant for Tiered Discounts as customers can have enough points to redeem a discount that depletes points and still have plenty leftover to redeem the same discount at a later date.

What's the difference between "Tiered Discounts" and "Custom Discounts"

Tiered discounts live statically in the customer's wallet and generally require points to redeem.

  • They will always show whether you can redeem them or not, and show you how many more points that are needed if you are under the redemption amount.
  • This gives your customers a target points total to work towards to redeem discounts.
  • These can be flat % or $ off values, or you can get creative and give customers the ability to redeem points for "Merch Bundles" or "Accessory Bundles"

Custom discounts require that a customer meet the criteria of the discount and only show up in a customer's wallet when they meet that criteria.

  • For instance, a Birthday Discount will only show up in a customer's wallet on their birthday because you selected the Is their birthday audience as being eligible or this discount when creating it
